US Dollar/Turkish Lira Exchange Rate Forecasting Model Based on Deep Learning Methodologies and Time Series Analysis

Abstract

Exchange rate forecasting has been an important topic for investors, researchers, and analysts. In this study, financial sentiment analysis (FSA) and time series analysis (TSA) are proposed to form a predicting model for US Dollar/Turkish Lira exchange rate. For this purpose, the proposed hybrid model is constructed in three stages: obtaining and modeling text data for FSA, obtaining and modeling numerical data for TSA, and blending two models like a symmetry. To our knowledge, this is the first study in the literature that uses social media platforms as a source for FSA and blends them with TSA methods. To perform FSA, word embedding methods Word2vec, GloVe, fastText, and deep learning models such as CNN, RNN, LSTM are used. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first attempt in terms of performing the FSA by using the combinations of deep learning models with word embedding methods for both Turkish and English texts. For TSA, simple exponential smoothing, Holt–Winters, Holt’s linear, and ARIMA models are employed. Finally, with the usage of the proposed model, any user who wants to make a US Dollar/Turkish Lira exchange rate forecast will be able to make a more consistent and strong exchange rate forecast.

Forecasting Waste Mobile Phone (WMP) Quantity and Evaluating the Potential Contribution to the Circular Economy: A Case Study of Turkey

“…The SES is one of the well-known forecasting methods and has high forecasting capability, particularly for stationary time series. The SES uses a weighted moving average with exponentially decreasing weights [101]. This method uses two simple equations, given in Equations ( 6) and ( 7), for level/smoothing and forecasting, respectively:…”

Development and Evaluation of a Deep Learning Based System to Predict District-Level Maize Yields in Tanzania

“…The LSTM deep learning models were trained and tested with Tanzania district time-series data (NDVI, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, soil moisture, and precipitation) together with historical district maize yields to train the network to correctly predict end-of-season maize yields. The LSTM network was chosen because of its high ability to process sequential time-series data [19][20][21] and its high performance in predicting other crop yields [11][12][13][14].…”

Derin öğrenme temelli hibrid altın endeksi (XAU/USD) yön tahmin modeli

“…Önerilen yöntemin başarısını göstermek için Türkçe ve İngilizce Twitter veri kümeleri üzerinde finansal duygu analizi yapılmış deney sonuçlarının literatür çalışmalarına kıyasla daha iyi bir performans sergilediği belirtilmiştir. Diğer bir çalışmada Yaşar ve Kilimci [8], zaman serileri analizi ve derin öğrenme yöntemlerini birleştirerek Amerikan Doları/Türk Lirası döviz kurunun yönünü tahminlemeyi amaçlamışlardır. Önerilen modelin kullanılmasıyla ABD Doları/Türk Lirası döviz kuru tahmini yapmak isteyen herhangi bir kullanıcının daha tutarlı ve güçlü bir döviz kuru tahmini yapabileceğini öne sürmüşlerdir.…”
