Stock trend forecasting has become a popular research direction that attracts widespread attention in the financial field. Though deep learning methods have achieved promising results, there are still many limitations, for example, how to extract clean features from the raw stock data. In this paper, we introduce an emph{Augmented Disentanglement Distillation (ADD)} approach to remove interferential features from the noised raw data. Specifically, we present 1) a disentanglement structure to separate excess and market information from the stock data to avoid the two factors disturbing each others own prediction. Besides, by applying 2) a dynamic self-distillation method over the disentanglement framework, other implicit interference factors can also be removed. Further, thanks to the decoder module in our framework, 3) a novel strategy is proposed to augment the training samples based on the different excess and market features to improve performance. We conduct experiments on the Chinese stock market data. Results show that our method significantly improves the stock trend forecasting performances, as well as the actual investment income through backtesting, which strongly demonstrates the effectiveness of our approach.

Stock trend forecasting, aiming at predicting the stock future trends, is crucial for investors to seek maximized profits from the stock market. Many event-driven methods utilized the events extracted from news, social media, and discussion board to forecast the stock trend in recent years. However, existing event-driven methods have two main shortcomings: 1) overlooking the influence of event information differentiated by the stock-dependent properties; 2) neglecting the effect of event information from other related stocks. In this paper, we propose a relational event-driven stock trend forecasting (REST) framework, which can address the shortcoming of existing methods. To remedy the first shortcoming, we propose to model the stock context and learn the effect of event information on the stocks under different contexts. To address the second shortcoming, we construct a stock graph and design a new propagation layer to propagate the effect of event information from related stocks. The experimental studies on the real-world data demonstrate the efficiency of our REST framework. The results of investment simulation show that our framework can achieve a higher return of investment than baselines.
Knowledge Distillation (KD) is a model-agnostic technique to improve model quality while having a fixed capacity budget. It is a commonly used technique for model compression, where a larger capacity teacher model with better quality is used to train a more compact student model with better inference efficiency. Through distillation, one hopes to benefit from students compactness, without sacrificing too much on model quality. Despite the large success of knowledge distillation, better understanding of how it benefits student models training dynamics remains under-explored. In this paper, we categorize teachers knowledge into three hierarchical levels and study its effects on knowledge distillation: (1) knowledge of the `universe, where KD brings a regularization effect through label smoothing; (2) domain knowledge, where teacher injects class relationships prior to students logit layer geometry; and (3) instance specific knowledge, where teacher rescales student models per-instance gradients based on its measurement on the event difficulty. Using systematic analyses and extensive empirical studies on both synthetic and real-world datasets, we confirm that the aforementioned three factors play a major role in knowledge distillation. Furthermore, based on our findings, we diagnose some of the failure cases of applying KD from recent studies.
Seasonal time series Forecasting remains a challenging problem due to the long-term dependency from seasonality. In this paper, we propose a two-stage framework to forecast univariate seasonal time series. The first stage explicitly learns the long-r ange time series structure in a time window beyond the forecast horizon. By incorporating the learned long-range structure, the second stage can enhance the prediction accuracy in the forecast horizon. In both stages, we integrate the auto-regressive model with neural networks to capture both linear and non-linear characteristics in time series. Our framework achieves state-of-the-art performance on M4 Competition Hourly datasets. In particular, we show that incorporating the intermediate results generated in the first stage to existing forecast models can effectively enhance their prediction performance.
The multivariate time series forecasting has attracted more and more attention because of its vital role in different fields in the real world, such as finance, traffic, and weather. In recent years, many research efforts have been proposed for forec asting multivariate time series. Although some previous work considers the interdependencies among different variables in the same timestamp, existing work overlooks the inter-connections between different variables at different time stamps. In this paper, we propose a simple yet efficient instance-wise graph-based framework to utilize the inter-dependencies of different variables at different time stamps for multivariate time series forecasting. The key idea of our framework is aggregating information from the historical time series of different variables to the current time series that we need to forecast. We conduct experiments on the Traffic, Electricity, and Exchange-Rate multivariate time series datasets. The results show that our proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art baseline methods.
It has long been recognized that academic success is a result of both cognitive and non-cognitive dimensions acting together. Consequently, any intelligent learning platform designed to improve learning outcomes (LOs) must provide actionable inputs t o the learner in these dimensions. However, operationalizing such inputs in a production setting that is scalable is not trivial. We develop an Embibe Score Quotient model (ESQ) to predict test scores based on observed academic, behavioral and test-taking features of a student. ESQ can be used to predict the future scoring potential of a student as well as offer personalized learning nudges, both critical to improving LOs. Multiple machine learning models are evaluated for the prediction task. In order to provide meaningful feedback to the learner, individualized Shapley feature attributions for each feature are computed. Prediction intervals are obtained by applying non-parametric quantile regression, in an attempt to quantify the uncertainty in the predictions. We apply the above modelling strategy on a dataset consisting of more than a hundred million learner interactions on the Embibe learning platform. We observe that the Median Absolute Error between the observed and predicted scores is 4.58% across several user segments, and the correlation between predicted and observed responses is 0.93. Game-like what-if scenarios are played out to see the changes in LOs, on counterfactual examples. We briefly discuss how a rational agent can then apply an optimal policy to affect the learning outcomes by treating the above model like an Oracle.
