Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The vast amount of data in today’s environment makes it increasingly important to determine how to discover useful insights for improved decision making. These insights can result in the ability to take advantage of opportunities, minimize risks, and control costs. Big data analytics refers to techniques for exploring, discovering, and making data-driven decisions in the context of abundant data, which have been widely employed to analyze business, financial, economic, and e-commerce data, with recently developed machine learning techniques. This Special Issue in the International Journal of Big Data and Cognitive Computing aims for publishing high-quality research and innovation results in all areas related to big data analytics in economics and finance.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to report and promote the latest progress in advancing specific techniques and methodologies and/or making relevant case studies.

This issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

  • Financial data analytics;
  • Econometric analysis;
  • Risk management;
  • Computation and simulation;
  • E-commerce;
  • Risk and regulation;
  • Financial engineering;
  • Insurance;
  • Multivariate analysis;
  • Time series analysis;
  • Statistical modelling and inference.

This paper addresses the time-intensive task of assigning accurate account labels to invoice entries within corporate bookkeeping. Despite the advent of electronic invoicing, many software solutions still rely on rule-based approaches that fail to address the multifaceted nature of this challenge. While machine learning holds promise for such repetitive tasks, the presence of low-quality training data often poses a hurdle. Frequently, labels pertain to invoice rows at a group level rather than an individual level, leading to the exclusion of numerous records during preprocessing. To enhance the efficiency of an invoice entry classifier within a semi-supervised context, this study proposes an innovative approach that combines the classifier with the A* graph search algorithm. Through experimentation across various classifiers, the results consistently demonstrated a noteworthy increase in accuracy, ranging between 1% and 4%. This improvement is primarily attributed to a marked reduction in the discard rate of data, which decreased from 39% to 14%. This paper contributes to the literature by presenting a method that leverages the synergy of a classifier and A* graph search to overcome challenges posed by limited and group-level label information in the realm of electronic invoicing classification.
