Multi-View Graph Convolutional Networks for Relationship-Driven Stock Prediction
share
Stock price movement prediction is commonly accepted as a very challenging task due to the extremely volatile nature of financial markets. Previous works typically focus on understanding the temporal dependency of stock price movement based on the history of individual stock movement, but they do not take the complex relationships among involved stocks into consideration. However it is well known that an individual stock price is correlated with prices of other stocks. To address that, we propose a deep learning-based framework, which utilizes recurrent neural network (RNN) and graph convolutional network (GCN) to predict stock movement. Specifically, we first use RNN to model the temporal dependency of each related stock' price movement based on their own information of the past time slices, then we employ GCN to model the influence from involved stock based on three novel graphs which represent the shareholder relationship, industry relationship and concept relationship among stocks based on investment decisions. Experiments on two stock indexes in China market show that our model outperforms other baselines. To our best knowledge, it is the first time to incorporate multi-relationships among involved stocks into a GCN based deep learning framework for predicting stock price movement.
