- Abstract: Firm disclosures about future prospects are crucial for corporate valuation
and compliance with global regulations, such as the EU's MAR and the US's SEC
Rule 10b-5 and RegFD. To comply with disclosure obligations, issuers must
identify nonpublic information with potential material impact on security
prices as only new, relevant and unexpected information materially affects
prices in efficient markets. Financial analysts, assumed to represent public
knowledge on firms' earnings prospects, face limitations in offering
comprehensive coverage and unbiased estimates. This study develops a neural
network to forecast future firm earnings, using four decades of financial data,
addressing analysts' coverage gaps and potentially revealing hidden insights.
The model avoids selectivity and survivorship biases as it allows for missing
data. Furthermore, the model is able to produce both fiscal-year-end and
quarterly earnings predictions. Its performance surpasses benchmark models from
the academic literature by a wide margin and outperforms analysts' forecasts
for fiscal-year-end earnings predictions.

We formulate the demand prediction as a meta-learning problem and develop the Feature-based First-Order Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning (F-FOMAML) algorithm.
By considering domain similarities through task-specific metadata, our model improved generalization, where the excess risk decreases as the number of training tasks increases.
Compared to existing state-of-the-art models, our method demonstrates a notable improvement in demand prediction accuracy, reducing the Mean Absolute Error by 26.24% on an internal vending machine dataset and by 1.04% on the publicly accessible JD.com dataset.

Multi-step stock price prediction over a long-term horizon is crucial for forecasting its volatility.
Current solutions to multi-step stock price prediction are mostly designed for single-step, classification-based predictions.
We combine a deep hierarchical variational-autoencoder (VAE) and diffusion probabilistic techniques to do seq2seq stock prediction.
Our model is shown to outperform state-of-the-art solutions in terms of its prediction accuracy and variance.

Results of Neural Network Models for Stock Price Prediction [5.212847826445359]
We implement six shallow and deep neural networks to predict stock prices and use four prediction error measures for evaluation.
The results show that the prediction error value only partially reflects the model accuracy of the stock price prediction, and cannot reflect the change in the direction of the model predicted stock price.
