Optimizing Deep Learning Models for Financial Time Series Prediction

Abstract

The application of deep learning techniques to financial time series prediction has gained significant traction in recent years, especially in the context of stock market forecasting and risk management. This research paper explores various deep learning models, such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), and hybrid models, focusing on their optimization for enhanced accuracy in predicting stock price movements. The study emphasizes the importance of feature engineering, hyperparameter tuning, and model selection in optimizing deep learning architectures for financial datasets. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature and practical applications, this paper highlights the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing deep learning in financial time series analysis. Key findings suggest that while deep learning models have the potential to outperform traditional statistical methods, careful consideration of data characteristics and model configurations is essential for achieving optimal results in financial forecasting.
