GAN-Enhanced Nonlinear Fusion Model for Stock Price Prediction

Abstract

AbstractStock price prediction is a significant field of finance research for both academics and practitioners. Numerous studies have proved that the stock movement can be fully reflect various internal features of stock price including non-stationary behavior, high persistence in the conditional variance. The fusion of time-series prediction model such as Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and neural network is an availability but difficult approach for stock price prediction. Although the orientation has been studied through some methods in different research, there are still difficulties with the poor capture ability of time-series features and insufficient effectiveness of integrating temporal feature and frequency domain information. In this paper, we propose a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) framework with the Convolution Neural Networks (CNN) as the discriminator and a hybrid model as the generator for forecasting the stock price. The hybrid model includes Attention-based Convolution Neural Networks (ACNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and ARIMA model. Moreover, this proposed framework uses the Generative Adversarial patten and Attention Mechanism to achieve effective analysis and feature extraction for stock price movement. The extensive experiments in different history periods of dataset demonstrate an improvement in forecasting of stock price using our model as compared to the baseline models.
