SENTIMENT ANALYSIS OF CUSTOMER FEEDBACK IN THE BANKING SECTOR: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MACHINE LEARNING MODELS

This study investigates the application of sentiment analysis to customer feedback in the banking sector, utilizing natural language processing (NLP) techniques and machine learning models to classify customer sentiments into positive, neutral, and negative categories. Feedback was sourced from online platforms, including bank websites, social media, and third-party review sites. Data preprocessing steps, such as tokenization, stemming, and feature extraction using TF-IDF, were employed to prepare the text for analysis. Various machine learning algorithms, including Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Naïve Bayes, were implemented and evaluated using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The results show that LSTM outperformed all models with a 91% accuracy, followed closely by SVM at 89%. These findings demonstrate the potential of advanced machine learning techniques in accurately classifying sentiments and provide valuable insights into customer satisfaction and areas for improvement within the banking sector. Future work aims to further optimize models for better classification of neutral feedback and explore more advanced deep learning models, such as BERT.

BEHAVIOURAL PATTERNS OF CHILDREN IN KADUNA STATE ORPHANAGES: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Background: - The plight of orphans, exacerbated by conflict, disease, and socioeconomic factors, remains a pressing global issue, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Nigeria, notably impacted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, terrorism, and natural disasters, has witnessed a substantial increase in orphan populations. These children face severe challenges, including child abuse, malnutrition, limited access to education, stigmatization, and a range of psychological and behavioral disorders. Despite some interventions, orphanages primarily address material needs, often neglecting comprehensive medical, social, and psychosocial support. This study explores the behavioral patterns of orphans in Kaduna, Nigeria, and examines how their medical and social challenges compare across various orphanages. Methodology: - A cross-sectional, comparative analysis was conducted among 100 orphans from selected orphanages in Kaduna. Data were collected through interviewer-administered questionnaires assessing socio-demographics, medical conditions, behavioral patterns, stigma, psychosocial status, and coping strategies. Results: - The mean age of respondents was 10 years, with 68% being male. Nutritional issues were prevalent, with 53.7% classified as underweight despite 54.9% reportedly consuming balanced diets. Medical concerns were significant, with 33.7% showing clinical signs of illness and 46.7% not fully immunized. Behavioral issues were prominent, including hyperactivity symptoms (27.0%), enuresis (22.3%), and depressive symptoms (1.8%). Socially, most respondents (83.3%) reported positive peer relationships, though bullying (11.4%) and stigmatization (9%) were also observed. Educational access was generally high, with only 2.2% not attending school. However, social support systems varied, with 35.2% reporting strong support and 46.8% adapting their goals as a coping mechanism. Conclusion: - The findings highlight the complex medical and behavioral challenges faced by orphans in Kaduna's orphanages, underscoring the need for integrated interventions that provide medical, psychosocial, and educational support. A holistic approach is crucial to improving their overall well-being and future prospects.

Making sense of large-scale kinase inhibitor bioactivity data sets: a comparative and integrative analysis

We carried out a systematic evaluation of target selectivity profiles across three recent large-scale biochemical assays of kinase inhibitors and further compared these standardized bioactivity assays with data reported in the widely used databases ChEMBL and STITCH. Our comparative evaluation revealed relative benefits and potential limitations among the bioactivity types, as well as pinpointed biases in the database curation processes. Ignoring such issues in data heterogeneity and representation may lead to biased modeling of drugs' polypharmacological effects as well as to unrealistic evaluation of computational strategies for the prediction of drug-target interaction networks. Toward making use of the complementary information captured by the various bioactivity types, including IC50, K(i), and K(d), we also introduce a model-based integration approach, termed KIBA, and demonstrate here how it can be used to classify kinase inhibitor targets and to pinpoint potential errors in database-reported drug-target interactions. An integrated drug-target bioactivity matrix across 52,498 chemical compounds and 467 kinase targets, including a total of 246,088 KIBA scores, has been made freely available.

Comparative analysis of a geometric and an adhesive righting strategy against toppling in inclined hexapedal locomotion

Animals are known to exhibit different walking behaviors in hilly habitats. For instance, cats, rats, squirrels, tree frogs, desert iguana, stick insects and desert ants were observed to lower their body height in traversing slopes, whereas mound-dwelling iguanas and wood ants tend to maintain constant walking kinematics regardless of the slope. This paper aims to understand and classify these distinct behaviors into two different strategies against toppling for climbing animals by looking into two factors, (i) the torque of the center of gravity (CoG) with respect to the critical tipping axis, and (ii) the torques of the legs, which have the potential to counterbalance the CoG-torque. Our comparative locomotion analysis on level locomotion and inclined locomotion exhibited that primarily only one of the proposed two strategies was chosen for each of our sample species, despite the fact that a combined strategy could have reduced the animal's risk to topple over even more. We found that desert ants of Cataglyphis fortis maintained their upright posture primarily through the adjustment of their CoG-torque (geometric strategy), and wood ants of the Formica rufa species group controlled their posture primarily by exerting leg-torques (adhesive strategy). We further provide hints that the geometric strategy employed by Cataglyphis could increase the risk for slipping on slopes since the leg-impulse substrate angle of Cataglyphis' hind legs were lower compared to Formica's. In contrast, the adhesion strategy employed by Formica's front legs not only decreased the risk for toppling. It also explained the steeper leg-impulse substrate angle of Formica's hind legs which should relate to more bending of the tarsal structures and therefore to more microscopic contact points potentially reducing the risk for hind leg slipping.
