Machine Learning and Finance: A Review using Latent Dirichlet Allocation Technique (LDA)
The aim of this paper is provide a first comprehensive structuring of the literature applying machine learning to finance. We use a probabilistic topic modelling approach to make sense of this diverse body of research spanning across the disciplines of finance, economics, computer sciences, and decision sciences. Through the topic modelling approach, a Latent Dirichlet Allocation Technique (LDA), we can extract the 14 coherent research topics that are the focus of the 6,148 academic articles during the years 1990-2019 analysed. We first describe and structure these topics, and then further show how the topic focus has evolved over the last two decades. Our study thus provides a structured topography for finance researchers seeking to integrate machine learning research approaches in their exploration of finance phenomena. We also showcase the benefits to finance researchers of the method of probabilistic modelling of topics for deep comprehension of a body of literature, especially when that literature has diverse multi-disciplinary actors
A Survey of Forex and Stock Price Prediction Using Deep Learning
The prediction of stock and foreign exchange (Forex) had always been a hot
and profitable area of study. Deep learning application had proven to yields
better accuracy and return in the field of financial prediction and
forecasting. In this survey we selected papers from the DBLP database for
comparison and analysis. We classified papers according to different deep
learning methods, which included: Convolutional neural network (CNN), Long
Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Deep neural network (DNN), Recurrent Neural Network
(RNN), Reinforcement Learning, and other deep learning methods such as HAN,
NLP, and Wavenet. Furthermore, this paper reviewed the dataset, variable,
model, and results of each article. The survey presented the results through
the most used performance metrics: RMSE, MAPE, MAE, MSE, accuracy, Sharpe
ratio, and return rate. We identified that recent models that combined LSTM
with other methods, for example, DNN, are widely researched. Reinforcement
learning and other deep learning method yielded great returns and performances.
We conclude that in recent years the trend of using deep-learning based method
for financial modeling is exponentially rising
