This paper is a survey on the application of neural networks in forecasting stock market prices. With their ability to discover patterns in nonlinear and chaotic systems, neural networks offer the ability to predict market directions more accurately than current techniques. Common market analysis techniques such as technical analysis, fundamental analysis, and regression are discussed and compa...

We consider the problem of global exponential synchronization between two identical chaotic neural networks that are linearly and unidirectionally coupled. We formulate a general framework for the synchronization problem in which one chaotic neural network, working as the driving system (or master), sends its output or state values to the other, which serves as the response system (or slave). W...

Large computational quantity and cumulative error are main shortcomings of addweighted one-rank local-region single-step method for multi-steps prediction of chaotic time series. A local-region multi-steps forecasting model based on phase-space reconstruction is presented for chaotic time series prediction, including add-weighted one-rank local-region multisteps forecasting model and RBF neural...

In this paper, we present MLEANN (Meta-Learning Evolutionary Artificial Neural Network), an automatic computational framework for the adaptive optimization of artificial neural networks wherein the neural network architecture, activation function, connection weights; learning algorithm and its parameters are adapted according to the problem. We explored the performance of MLEANN and conventiona...

Conventional adaptive control techniques have for the most part been based on methods for linear or weakly non-linear systems. More recently neural network and genetic algorithm controllers have started to be applied to complex, non-linear dynamic systems. The control of chaotic dynamic systems poses a series of especially challenging problems. In this paper an adaptive control architecture usi...
