This paper provides a methodology for detecting management fraud using basic financial data. The methodology is based on support vector machines. An important aspect therein is a kernel that increases the power of the learning machine by allowing an implicit and generally nonlinear mapping of...

In this paper we done a comparison between a Neural Network model and a Support Vector Machine model adapted to predict the exchange rate EUR-LEU. We emphasize the strengths and weakness of these two Artificial Intelligence paradigms and we compare the results of prediction obtained with those...
