Abstract Global warming has caused an increase for more energy efficient combustion engines. Measuring the energy performance at real time may require many sensors that increase the final cost of the energy system. This paper describes the feasibility of using deep learning Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) methods to estimate energy system performance using acoustical signals. First, an audio recorder was set up to measure the acoustic signals, while taking direct measurements of an aircraft propulsion system. Then, an energy balance equation for the aircraft was calibrated, and transformed into an algorithm that calculates the Specific Total Energy (STE) in real-time by using the direct measurements recorded. The acoustic signatures were filtered out and their statistical features were used to train and test an artificial neural network that outputs the aircraft’s energy state. This process showed that it is possible to create and train models with an R2 as high as 0.99854, while avoiding overfitting; proving that it is feasible to monitor an energy system performance by using acoustic signals.

We propose an Explainable AI model that can be employed in order to explain why a customer buys or abandons a non-life insurance coverage. The method consists in applying similarity clustering to the Shapley values that were obtained from a highly accurate XGBoost predictive classification algorithm. Our proposed method can be embedded into a technologically-based insurance service (Insurtech), allowing to understand, in real time, the factors that most contribute to customers’ decisions, thereby gaining proactive insights on their needs. We prove the validity of our model with an empirical analysis that was conducted on data regarding purchases of insurance micro-policies. Two aspects are investigated: the propensity to buy an insurance policy and the risk of churn of an existing customer. The results from the analysis reveal that customers can be effectively and quickly grouped according to a similar set of characteristics, which can predict their buying or churn behaviour well.

We propose a mathematical model of momentum risk-taking, which is essentially real-time risk management focused on short-term volatility. Its implementation, a fully automated momentum equity trading system, is systematically discussed in this paper. It proved to be successful in extensive historical and real-time experiments. Momentum risk-taking is one of the key components of general decision-making, a challenge for artificial intelligence and machine learning. We begin with a new mathematical approach to news impact on share prices, which models well their power-type growth, periodicity, and the market phenomena like price targets and profit-taking. This theory generally requires Bessel and hypergeometric functions. Its discretization results in some tables of bids, basically, expected returns for main investment horizons, the key in our trading system. A preimage of our approach is a new contract card game. There are relations to random processes and the fractional Brownian motion. The ODE we obtained, especially those of Bessel-type, appeared to give surprisingly accurate modeling of the spread of COVID-19.
