Hybrid deep learning models with multi-classification investor sentiment to forecast the prices of China's leading...

The prediction of stock prices has long been a captivating subject in academic research. This study aims to forecast the prices of prominent stocks in five key industries of the Chinese A-share market by leveraging the synergistic power of deep learning techniques and investor sentiment analysis. To achieve this, a sentiment multi-classification dataset is for the first time constructed for China's stock market, based on four types of sentiments in modern psychology. The significant heterogeneity of sentiment changes in the sectors' leading stock markets is trained and mined using the Bi-LSTM-ATT model. The impact of multi-classification investor sentiment on stock price prediction was analyzed using the CNN-Bi-LSTM-ATT model. It finds that integrating sentiment indicators into the prediction of industry leading stock prices can enhance the accuracy of the model. Drawing upon four fundamental sentiment types derived from modern psychology, our dataset provides a comprehensive framework for analyzing investor sentiment and its impact on forecasting the stock prices of China's A-share market.
