Forecasting Bitcoin price using time opinion mining and bi-directional GRU

Abstract

Bitcoin is an innovative decentralized digital currency without intermediaries. Bitcoin price prediction is a demanding need in the present situation. This paper makes an investigation on the Bitcoin price forecast with a Bi-directional Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) time series method, combined with opinion mining based on Twitter and Reddit feeds. An hourly basis sentimental analysis through the implementation of Natural Language Processing presents a positive impact of sentimental analysis on the Bitcoin price prediction. For prediction, RNN, long-short memory, GRU has been utilized. Unidirectional and Bi-directional versions of all three networks with and without sentimental analysis were implemented for comparison. Of all the techniques implemented Bi-directional GRU along with sentimental analysis gives a minimum RMSE and Minimum absolute percentage error of 1108.33 and 7.384%. Thus, the framework including Bi-Directional GRU along with Sentimental Analysis provides better results than the State-of-art methods.

A Novel Broad Echo State Network for Time Series Prediction: Cascade of Mapping Nodes and Optimization of Enhancement Layer

“…Then deep learning and BLS develop from external neural networks. The classical deep learning methods for the time series prediction are GRU [23], LSTM [24], DeepESN [25], graph neural network [26], Fusion network [27], etc. LSTM belongs to the RNN network [28] and mainly solves the problem of gradient disappearance and explosion in RNN [29].…”

Research on Stock Prediction Based on CED-PSO-StockNet Time Series Model

“…The model was trained by deleting different input features each time, and the impact of each input feature on model performance and prediction accuracy was analyzed [6] . Begum SA and other scholars used GRU networks to predict stocks, and found that the bidirectional GRU model performed better by comparing unidirectional GRU [7] .…”
