Toward Explainable and Policy-Aware AI for Carbon Credit Price Prediction: A Research Framework for Emerging Carbon Markets

The paper proposes EPA-CarbonNet, a six‑layer model that fuses carbon market price series with policy text via cross‑attention and calibrated intervals, aiming to provide explainable, policy‑aware predictions for carbon credit prices. It evaluates the approach on eleven years of daily S&P carbon index data, finding that a simple random walk outperforms the model on five‑day RMSE, while the model achieves the best directional accuracy at 58.6%. The study identifies ten recurring gaps in current research and releases all code, data, and results publicly.

Performance-Carbon Trade-Offs across Architectural Biases in Shear Flow Forecasting

arXiv:2509. 24517v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Development of modern deep learning methods has been driven primarily by the push for improving model efficacy (accuracy metrics), leading to large-scale models that require massive computational resources and result in considerable carbon footprint across the model lifecycle.
