Purpose – The paper analyses two different paradigms of investor behaviour that exist in the financial mar-ket – the herding and contrarian behaviour. The main objective of the paper is to determine which pattern of investor behaviour better reflects the real changes in the prices of financial instruments in the financial markets. Research methodology – Algorithms of technical analysis, deep learning and classification of sentiments were used for the research; data of positions held by investors were analysed. Data mining was performed using “Tweet Sentiment Visualization” tool. Findings – The performed analysis of investor behaviour has revealed that it is more useful to ground financial decisions on the opinion of the investors contradicting the majority. The analysis of the data on the positions held by investors helped to make sure that the herding behaviour could have a negative impact on investment results, as the opinion of the majority of investors is less in line with changes in the prices of financial instruments in the market. Research limitations – The study was conducted using a limited number of investment instruments. In the future, more investment instruments can be analysed and additional forecasting methods, as well as more records in social networks can be used. Practical implications – Identifying which paradigm of investor behaviour is more beneficial to rely on can offer ap-propriate practical guidance for investors in order to invest more effectively in financial markets. Investors could use investor sentiment data to make practical investment decisions. All the methods used complement each other and can be combined into one investment decision strategy. Originality/Value – The study compared the ratio of open positions not only with real price changes but also with data obtained from the known technical analysis, deep learning and sentiment classification algorithms, which has not been done in previous studies. The applied methods allowed to achieve reliable and original results.

Objectives: Deep learning has become the most representative and potential intelligent system modeling technology in artificial intelligence. However, the complexity of financial markets goes far beyond all economic games. Methods: This paper is devoted to the feasibility and efficiency of the deep-integration neural network model as one of the main paradigms of in-depth learning in the intelligent prediction of financial time. A prediction model of stack self-coding neural network composed of bottom stack self-coding and top regression neurons is proposed. Results: Firstly, the self-encoder unsupervised learning mechanism is used to identify and learn the time series, and the layers of the neural network are learned greedy layer by layer. Then the stack self-encoder is extended to the SAEP model with supervised mechanism, and the parameters learned by SAE are used. Used to initialize the neural network, and finally use the supervised learning to fine-tune the weights. Conclusion: The research results show that the model provides effective financial planning and decision-making basis for financial forecasting, maintains the healthy development of financial markets, and maximizes the benefits of profit-making institutions.

This study examined how the relationships among the fossil fuel, clean energy stock, gold, and Bitcoin markets have changed since the COVID-19 pandemic took place for hedging the price change risks in the fossil fuel markets. We applied the Bayesian Dynamic Conditional Correlation-Multivariate GARCH (DCC-MGARCH) models using US daily data from 2 January 2019 to 26 February 2021. Our results suggest that the fossil fuel (WTI crude oil and natural gas) and financial markets (clean energy stock, gold, and Bitcoin) generally had negative relationships in 2019 before the pandemic prevailed, but they became positive for a while in mid-2020, alternating between positive (0.8) and negative values (−0.8). As it is known that negative relationships are required among assets to hedge the risk of price changes, this implies that stakeholders need to be cautious in hedging the risk across the fossil fuel and financial markets when a crisis like COVID-19 occurs. However, our study also revealed that such negative relationships only lasted for three to six months, suggesting that the effects of the pandemic were short term and that stakeholders in the fossil fuel markets could cross hedge with the financial markets in the long term.

An exemplary paradigm of how an AI can be a disruptive technological paragon via the utilization of blockchain comes straight from the world of deep learning. Data scientists have long struggled to maintain the quality of a dataset for machine learning by an AI entity. Datasets can be very expensive to purchase, as, depending on both the proper selection of the elements and the homogeneity of the data contained within, constructing and maintaining the integrity of a dataset is difficult. Blockchain as a highly secure storage medium presents a technological quantum leap in maintaining data integrity. Furthermore, blockchain’s immutability constructs a fruitful environment for creating high quality, permanent and growing datasets for deep learning. The combination of AI and blockchain could impact fields like Internet of things (IoT), identity, financial markets, civil governance, smart cities, small communities, supply chains, personalized medicine and other fields, and thereby deliver benefits to many people.

Predicting financial markets is of particular importance for investors who intend to make the most profit. Analysing reasonable and precise strategies for predicting financial markets has a long history. Deep learning techniques include analyses and predictions that can assist scientists in discovering unknown patterns of data. In this project, application of noise elimination techniques such as Wavelet transform and Kalman filter in combination of deep learning methods were discussed for predicting financial time series. The results show employing noise elimination techniques such as Wavelet transform and Kalman filter, have considerable effect on performance of LSTM neural network in extracting hidden patterns in the financial time series and can precisely predict future actions in these markets.
