• Abstract: Accurate forecasting in financial markets requires integrating diverse data sources, from historical prices to macroeconomic indicators and financial news. However, existing models often fail to align these modalities effectively, limiting their practical use. In this paper, we introduce a transformer-based deep learning framework, Cross-Modal Temporal Fusion (CMTF), that fuses structured and unstructured financial data for improved market prediction. The model incorporates a tensor interpretation module for feature selection and an auto-training pipeline for efficient hyperparameter tuning. Experimental results using FTSE 100 stock data demonstrate that CMTF achieves superior performance in price direction classification compared to classical and deep learning baselines. These findings suggest that our framework is an effective and scalable solution for real-world cross-modal financial forecasting tasks.

  In financial applications, reinforcement learning (RL) agents are commonly trained on historical data, where their actions do not influence prices.<n>During deployment, these agents trade in live markets where their own transactions can shift asset prices, a phenomenon known as market impact.<n>Traditional robust RL approaches address this model misspecification by optimizing the worst-case performance over a set of uncertainties.<n>We develop a novel class of elliptic uncertainty sets, enabling efficient and tractable robust policy evaluation.
