Hierarchical Attention Network in Stock Prediction

Using natural language processing methods to predict judicial outcomes

“…HANs are currently one of the most popular neural network algorithms being adopted in Computer Science. In 2020, the year of publication of this research, we have seen their applications in many different fields, such as Finance, to predict stock market values - Huang et al (2020); Linguistics, in the classification of historical documents - Kim et al (2020); Technology, in mobile app recommendations - Liang et al (2020); and Medicine, with detection models for Atrial Fibrillation -Mousavi, Afghah and Acharya (2020). We believe this flexibility shows the strength of the Attention model to handle different texts across many different vocabularies.…”
