• Abstract: This article introduces a Hype-Adjusted Probability Measure in the context of a new Natural Language Processing (NLP) approach for stock return and volatility forecasting. A novel sentiment score equation is proposed to represent the impact of intraday news on forecasting next-period stock return and volatility for selected U.S. semiconductor tickers, a very vibrant industry sector. This work improves the forecast accuracy by addressing news bias, memory, and weight, and incorporating shifts in sentiment direction. More importantly, it extends the use of the remarkable tool of change of Probability Measure developed in the finance of Asset Pricing to NLP forecasting by constructing a Hype-Adjusted Probability Measure, obtained from a redistribution of the weights in the probability space, meant to correct for excessive or insufficient news.

• Using dynamic loss weighting to boost improvements in forecast stability [0.9332308328407303]
  Rolling origin forecast instability refers to variability in forecasts for a specific period induced by updating the forecast. It was shown that more stable forecasts can be obtained without harming accuracy by minimizing a composite loss function. We show that existing dynamic loss weighting methods can achieve this objective and provide insights into why this might be the case.

  This study focuses on symmetric random walks, in which the target variable's future value is reformulated as a combination of its future movement and current value. The proposed forecasting method, termed the fusion of movement and na"ive predictions (FMNP), is grounded in this reformulation. FMNP achieves statistically significant improvements over na"ive prediction, even when the movement prediction accuracy is only slightly above 0.50.

  Probabilistic hierarchical time-series forecasting is an important variant of time-series forecasting. Most methods focus on point predictions and do not provide well-calibrated probabilistic forecasts distributions. We propose PROFHiT, a fully probabilistic hierarchical forecasting model that jointly models forecast distribution of entire hierarchy.

  We study whether using CRPS learning, a novel weighting technique, leads to optimal decisions in day-ahead bidding. We find that increasing the diversity of an ensemble can have a positive impact on accuracy. The higher computational cost of using CRPS learning compared to an equal-weighted aggregation of distributions is not offset by higher profits.

  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.
