You know how sometimes we struggle to understand the tiny details in documents? Think of a chart with lots of numbers or a PDF with complex texts. That's where multimodal large language models (MLLMs) come in. They're supposed to help us make sense of these things, but they've been falling short, es
Ever wondered how cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum relate to gold, oil, and stock prices? This study examined five major cryptocurrencies and their connection to these traditional markets. A special method called 'cross-quantilogram' and 'quantile connectedness' was used to see how these m
Ever since digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum started gaining traction with investors, a big question has been on everyone's mind: how risky are these investments? To answer that, we took a close look at two key metrics: Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES). These measures help
