Improving Decision Analytics with Deep Learning: the Case of Financial Disclosures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Decision analytics commonly focuses on the text mining of financial news sources in order to provide managerial decision support and to predict stock market movements. Existing predictive frameworks almost exclusively apply traditional machine learning methods, whereas recent research indicates that traditional machine learning methods are not sufficiently capable of extracting suitable features and capturing the non-linear nature of complex tasks. As a remedy, novel deep learning models aim to overcome this issue by extending traditional neural network models with additional hidden layers. Indeed, deep learning has been shown to outperform traditional methods in terms of predictive performance. In this paper, we adapt the novel deep learning technique to financial decision support. In this instance, we aim to predict the direction of stock movements following financial disclosures. As a result, we show how deep learning can outperform the accuracy of random forests as a benchmark for machine learning by 5.66 %.

Improving out-of-sample forecasting is one of the main issues in financial research. Previous studies have achieved this objective by increasing the number of input variables or changing the kind of input variables. Changing the forecasting model is another possible approach to improve out-of-sample forecasting. Most researches have focused on linear models, while few have studied nonlinear mod...
