Multi-Step-Ahead Prediction of Stock Price Using a New Architecture of Neural Networks

Modelling and forecasting Stock market is a challenging task for economists and engineers since it has a dynamic structure and nonlinear characteristic. This nonlinearity affects the efficiency of the price characteristics. Using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is a proper way to model this nonlinearity and it has been used successfully in one-step-ahead and multi-step-ahead prediction of di...

Look-Ahead Value Ordering for Constraint Satisfaction Problems

Looking ahead during search is often useful when solving constraint satisfaction problems. Previous studies have shown that looking ahead helps by causing dead-ends to occur earlier in the search, and by providing information that is useful for dynamic variable ordering. In this paper, we show that another bene t of looking ahead is a useful domain value ordering heuristic, which we call look-a...
