Behavioral Biases in Investor Decision-Making: A Comparative Meta-Analysis of Behavioral Finance Research by Seyed Amir Sabet, Saeed Aibaghi esfahani, Abdolmajid Abdolbaghi Ataabadi

“…This study synthesizes research on twelve key biases through meta-analysis, confirming their significant impact across markets, where cognitive biases include overconfidence (overestimating knowledge), anchoring (relying on initial reference points), herd behavior (following crowds), representativeness (using stereotypes over data), availability heuristic (overweighting recent information), and mental accounting (categorizing money subjectively), while emotional biases feature loss aversion (fearing losses more than valuing gains), regret aversion (avoiding potential regret), self-attribution (blaming failures on externals), optimism bias (overestimating success), and self-control issues (failing long-term planning). …”

An adaptive feature fusion strategy using dual-layer attention and multi-modal deep reinforcement learning for all-media similarity search by Jin Yue, Jiayun Lang, Rui Feng

“…Abstract This paper proposes a novel adaptive feature fusion strategy that combines a dual-layer attention mechanism and Multi-modal deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to optimize cross-modal information retrieval. The dual-layer attention mechanism enhances the model's ability to capture deep semantic relationships between different modalities, while DRL optimizes the feature extraction and fusion process, improving adaptability in complex environments. …”
