Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are commonly used to solve nonlinear problems. ANNs are composed of parallel interconnected layers that include processing elements called neurons. These neurons use mathematical functions to process the data, mimicking the human brain. In this study, we use...

In this study, we introduce a novel entity matching (EM) framework. It com-bines state-of-the-art EM approaches based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) with a new similarity encoding derived from matching techniques that are preva-lent in finance and economics. Our framework is on-par or...

Most of peer-to-peer (P2P) online borrowers are small business managers. The learning behavior of borrowers in the P2P market is rarely studied. The aim of this paper is to identify the existence of borrowers' learning behavior in the P2P market using a large sample from renrendai.com, which is...
