As global warming provokes increasing attention from investors, this study disentangles global warming risk (GWR) for investors by leveraging energy futures volatilities. This study derives GWR from energy futures using an extreme gradient boosting (... Read More about Disentangling and hedging global warming risk: A machine learning approach.

Discipline-Sensitive Predictive Analytics for IPA-Driven Building Maintenance Management: Material Stock Quantity Modeling (2025)
Journal Article
Huang, Z., Liu, X., & Romdhani, I. (in press). Discipline-Sensitive Predictive Analytics for IPA-Driven Building Maintenance Management: Material Stock Quantity Modeling. Journal of Data Science and Intelligent Systems,

The study introduces a machine learning model for BMM (Building Maintenance Management), which utilized IPA (Intelligent Process Automation) to predict the material stock required in a period, to manage the cost efficiency. Traditional BMM approaches... Read More about Discipline-Sensitive Predictive Analytics for IPA-Driven Building Maintenance Management: Material Stock Quantity Modeling.

The Impact of Minority Status on the Cross-Race Effect: A Critical Review (2025)
Journal Article
Töredi, D., Mansour, J. K., Jones, S. E., Skelton, F., & McIntyre, A. (in press). The Impact of Minority Status on the Cross-Race Effect: A Critical Review. Perspectives on Psychological Science,

Meta-analyses have consistently demonstrated the robustness of the cross-race effect (CRE; i.e., better recognition of same-race faces compared to different-race faces). These analyses have unveiled variations in the dependent variables associated wi... Read More about The Impact of Minority Status on the Cross-Race Effect: A Critical Review.
