A Transfer Learning–Enhanced Hybrid Deep Learning Framework for Bitcoin Price Forecasting Using Market Sentiment and Time Series Data

By Rachid Bourday Issam Aattouchi Mounir Ait Kerroum

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2025.05.01, Pub. Date: 8 Oct. 2025

The extreme volatility of Bitcoin markets makes accurate price prediction notably difficult. This paper proposes a new hybrid deep learning model that incorporates a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi LSTM) model, and a Multi Head Attention mechanism to permit the model to utilize both historical price data and sentiment information from Twitter. We constructed the model utilizing a two-stage transfer learning approach: we first pretrained the model on data from 2017−2019 to learn lower-level fluctuation behaviors, then we fine-tuned the model on data from 2021−2023 in order to be sensitive to recent market behaviors. The model performed exceptionally well against multiple state-of-the-art baselines using root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) metrics, reporting RMSE values of 679.61 and MAE of 452.95, achieving considerable improvement over the baseline models. Our experimental results show that leveraging Twitter sentiment greatly improved trend prediction. In addition, our benchmarks showed that our method performed better than the existing methods. Furthermore, our ablation studies illustrated how each particular feature performed. Overall, our results demonstrate that multi-scale temporal modeling combined with social media sentiment integration produces a scalable and resilient solution to combat the challenges of volatility to forecast cryptocurrency prices accurately and efficiently.

By Vyankatesh Rampurkar Thirupurasundari D. R.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2025.05.03, Pub. Date: 8 Oct. 2025

With the rise of online platforms, concerns are increasing about the presence of fake user profiles, which can be exploited for malicious activities such as fraud, identity theft, and spreading misinformation. This study provides a detailed analysis of four machine learning algorithms to detect fake profiles: Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression, Passive Aggressive, and Decision Tree. To train and evaluate these models, we first collect a broad dataset of both genuine and fake user profiles. Through feature engineering, relevant data such as text content, account creation details, and behavioral patterns are extracted from the profiles. Support Vector Machine is selected for its capacity to manage high-dimensional data and reduce the risk of overfitting, while Logistic Regression is valued for its interpretability and capability to model complex relationships. Passive Aggressive is included to test performance in real-time scenarios, where fake profile characteristics may evolve due to its adaptability to changing data streams. Decision Trees are employed for their ability to capture non-linear relationships and offer insights into the decision-making process. Metrics like recall, accuracy, and precision are used to evaluate the performance of each algorithm. This comparative analysis enhances our understanding of machine learning approaches for detecting fake profiles and offers practical insights for developers aiming to mitigate risks associated with online fraud. Among the algorithms, Decision Tree achieved the highest accuracy at 98.76%.

By Muhammed Yaseen Morshed Adib Md. Tauhid Bin Iqbal Farig Yousuf Sadeque

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2025.05.05, Pub. Date: 8 Oct. 2025

Natural disasters cause economic instability, leading to severe financial hardships for affected communities. The rapid surge in essential goods prices during such events significantly burdens vulnerable populations, highlighting the critical need for timely policy interventions. While understanding public sentiment on economic distress is crucial for effective data-driven policy generation, research specifically analyzing public sentiment on price hikes in such contexts remains limited, often due to a lack of dedicated datasets. To address this, this paper first introduces a novel dataset of social media comments on price hikes related to the 2023 Turkey earthquake. Second, to support data-driven policy-making by quantifying public sentiment, we applied a range of AI models and identified transformer-based models like DistilBERT as particularly effective for sentiment classification. Furthermore, we employ Explainable AI techniques to enhance model trust, enabling policymakers to confidently use these insights to support disaster recovery and economic stabilization in affected regions.

By Nataniel Dengen Reza Andrea Agus Ganda Permana Suswanto

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2025.05.06, Pub. Date: 8 Oct. 2025

Bontang Mangrove Park located in Kutai National Park, North Bontang District, Bontang City, serves as a prominent mangrove forest tourism destination. Despite its popularity, the park lacks an official website, relying solely on social media for information dissemination. This limitation restricts the park's ability to reach a broader audience and provide comprehensive details about its facilities, operational hours, and attractions. To address this issue, a dedicated website was developed to enhance the park's online presence and improve visitor accessibility to information. The website design and development followed the Rational Unified Process (RUP) methodology, an iterative and incremental approach to software development that ensures adaptability to changing functional requirements. Functionality testing was conducted using the Black-box method, while user satisfaction with the website's design and usability was assessed through a Likert-scale questionnaire distributed to 100 participants, indicating a positive reception with 74.03% of respondents rating the website favorably. This rating classifies the website as "Good" in terms of functionality and user experience, demonstrating its potential as a valuable tool for promoting mangrove ecotourism in Bontang Mangrove Park. The findings highlight the website's ability to improve accessibility, promote ecotourism, and engage visitors through digital means.

Information Engineering for Fake Job Postings Classification in Electronic Business Based on Machine Learning Technology

By Markiian-Mykhailo Paprotskyi Victoria Vysotska Lyubomyr Chyrun Yuriy Ushenko Zhengbing Hu Dmytro Uhryn

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2025.05.07, Pub. Date: 8 Oct. 2025

This study investigates the application of machine learning methods for the classification of fraudulent job postings in e-business platforms. Using the publicly available fake_job_postings.csv dataset, textual and categorical features of vacancies were processed and vectorised through TF-IDF, HashingVectorizer, and optimised TF-IDF. Eight machine learning algorithms were compared, including Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, Decision Tree, Multinomial Naive Bayes, Linear SVC, K-Nearest Neighbours, and XGBoost. The experiments demonstrate that XGBoost achieved the best performance (Accuracy = 0.990, Precision = 0.982, Recall = 0.998, F1 = 0.990) across all feature representations. Its superior results can be attributed to the ability of boosted ensembles to capture complex non-linear relationships in high-dimensional feature spaces while maintaining robustness against noise and class imbalance.
However, it should be noted that the evaluation was performed on a single static dataset. While the high recall shows the model’s ability to reliably detect fraudulent ads in this context, questions remain about its generalisability. Fraud tactics evolve rapidly, and new job scams may significantly differ from patterns in the training data. This creates  a potential risk of overfitting to dataset-specific features, which limits direct transfer to real-world scenarios without continuous retraining and monitoring. The practical contribution of the study is a reproducible framework that integrates text and categorical processing, vectorisation, hyperparameter optimisation, and comparative model benchmarking. Such a framework could be embedded into online job platforms to support automated filtering of suspicious ads. Still, its deployment requires additional measures: periodic retraining with updated data, integration with platform APIs, and the inclusion of explainability modules to ensure transparency and user trust. Overall, the research demonstrates that ensemble-based models, particularly XGBoost, offer strong potential for fraud detection in the e-business labour market. At the same time, further work is necessary to validate model robustness on unseen and evolving fraudulent job posting strategies, ensuring scalability and reliability in production environments.

Registration of new students’ academic information is essential for every educational institute to continue their education at every semester level and go through their whole student life. And this registration information is used when they do their form fill up of consecutive semesters. Nowadays, almost all educational institutes are using paper based registration and form fill up systems which is prone to many human errors and very time consuming for both students, teachers as well as other related administrative bodies. In this paper, we developed a web based application for academic purposes to control and save student registration and form fill up data that will be helpful for students, teachers and admin authority to make the process easier, less time consuming and error free. There are four main types of users who can use this system: student, department authority, students’ hall authority and administrator. The student can submit their registration and form fill up information by using a web form. Moreover, he/she can download their admit card and registration form after the approval of the concerned authority. The students also can be able to do other module activities. The hall and department authority can use the system to approve the students' registration, semester examination form and to provide the students' attendance data. In addition, the department and hall authority has a choice to see all students’ academic information. Moreover, the system administrator controls the system by managing (add, delete, update) student, hall and department authority, exam or registration date, subjects of a particular semester, notice board of the institute, module and programme data. The administrator can also add and remove the running and passed student data. The students also can pay their semester fees by using an online banking system.

By Abdel Nasser H. Zaied

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2012.03.02, Pub. Date: 8 Jul. 2012

E-commerce has been predicted to be a new driver of economic growth for developing countries. The SME sector plays a significant role in its contribution to the national economy in terms of the wealth created and the number of people employed. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Egypt represent the greatest share of the productive units of the Egyptian economy and the current national policy directions address ways and means of developing the capacities of SMEs. Many factors could be responsible for the low usage of e-commerce among the SMEs in Egypt. In order to determine the factors that promote the adoption of e-commerce, SMEs adopters and non-adopters of e-commerce were asked to indicate the factors inhibiting the adoption of e-commerce. The results show that technical barriers are the most important barriers followed by legal and regulatory barriers, whereas lack of Internet security is the highest barrier that inhibit the implementation of e-commerce in SMEs in Egypt followed by limited use of Internet banking and web portals by SMEs. Also, findings implied that more efforts are needed to help and encourage SMEs in Egypt to speed up e-commerce adoption, particularly the more advanced applications.

By Vilianty Rafida Ita Arfyanti Irfan Hidayat

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2022.04.01, Pub. Date: 8 Aug. 2022

Widya Collection Store is a business that provides sports clothing, as well as one of the producers in the Samarinda area. Sales management is still not optimal because it still uses paper notes and is still being written which makes it easy for errors to occur in writing prices, quantities of goods and total prices so that it takes a long time to process transactions, both from payment in full or receivables. In addition, managing stock of goods is also more difficult because it is not recorded in the database. Therefore, a Sales Management application was made at the Web-Based Widya Collection Store to process item data, sales transactions, make complete notes and reports and make the transaction process faster. The long-term goal to be achieved is that the stock management process has been recorded in order to know the stock that must be ordered from the supplier. In addition, to simplify and expedite activities in searching for sales transaction data if one day it is needed. In this study, the method used to build a Sales Management Application at a Web-Based Widya Collection Store is the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) development stage which consists of needs analysis, system design, and implementation.

Shariah-based banking aims to apply Islamic finance while adhering to Shariah principles. The primary distinction between conventional and Islamic finance is that Sharia law explicitly forbids several of the activities and principles applied in conventional banking. According to Sharia law, “Paying or charging an interest (Riba)” lending with interest payments as an exploitative practice that benefits the lender at the expense of the borrower, “investing in businesses engaged in banned activities" like producing and selling alcohol or pork, “speculation or gambling(Maisir)” That means financial institutions are prohibited from participating in contracts where the ownership of goods depends on an unpredictable future event, and Participation in contracts with a high level of risk or uncertainty is referred to as "uncertainty and risk (Gharar)", which are strictly prohibited. As a result, consumers must be aware of whether they are taking Riba, Gharar, Maisir or if their money is invested in a halal firm. Because of its qualities, blockchain would be useful in this situation. This research tries to determine how blockchain technology can be used to make investments and profit or loss returns more transparent, more secure, Immutable and sharia compliant. Blockchain networks can be utilized in the financial industry, such as banking, to provide safe sharia banking.
