Stock price prediction is an important issue in the financial world, as it contributes to the development of effective strategies for stock exchange transactions. In this paper, we propose a generic framework employing Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and convolutional neural network (CNN) for adversarial training to forecast high-frequency stock market. This model takes the publicly available index provided by trading software as input to avoid complex financial theory research and difficult technical analysis, which provides the convenience for the ordinary trader of nonfinancial specialty. Our study simulates the trading mode of the actual trader and uses the method of rolling partition training set and testing set to analyze the effect of the model update cycle on the prediction performance. Extensive experiments show that our proposed approach can effectively improve stock price direction prediction accuracy and reduce forecast error.

Large-scale terminals’ various QoS requirements are key challenges confronting the resource allocation of Satellite Internet of Things (S-IoT). This paper presents a deep reinforcement learning-based online channel allocation and power control algorithm in an S-IoT uplink scenario. The intelligent agent determines the transmission channel and power simultaneously based on contextual information. Furthermore, the weighted normalized reward concerning success rate, power efficiency, and QoS requirement is adopted to balance the performance between increasing resource efficiency and meeting QoS requirements. Finally, a practical deployment mechanism based on transfer learning is proposed to promote onboard training efficiency and to reduce computation consumption of the training process. The simulation demonstrates that the proposed method can balance the success rate and power efficiency with QoS requirement guaranteed. For S-IoT’s normal operation condition, the proposed method can improve the power efficiency by 60.91% and 144.44% compared with GA and DRL_RA, while its power efficiency is only 4.55% lower than that of DRL-EERA. In addition, this method can be transferred and deployed to a space environment by merely 100 onboard training steps.

This paper proposes an accurate crowd counting method based on convolutional neural network and low-rank and sparse structure. To this end, we firstly propose an effective deep-fusion convolutional neural network to promote the density map regression accuracy. Furthermore, we figure out that most of the existing CNN based crowd counting methods obtain overall counting by direct integral of estimated density map, which limits the accuracy of counting. Instead of direct integral, we adopt a regression method based on low-rank and sparse penalty to promote accuracy of the projection from density map to global counting. Experiments demonstrate the importance of such regression process on promoting the crowd counting performance. The proposed low-rank and sparse based deep-fusion convolutional neural network (LFCNN) outperforms existing crowd counting methods and achieves the state-of-the-art performance.
