HAELT: A Hybrid Attentive Ensemble Learning Transformer Framework for High-Frequency Stock Price Forecasting
This addresses stock price prediction for algorithmic trading, but appears incremental as it combines existing methods.
The paper tackles high-frequency stock price forecasting by proposing HAELT, a hybrid deep learning framework combining ResNet, attention, and LSTM-Transformer components, which achieved the highest F1-Score on hourly Apple stock data from 2024-2025.
High-frequency stock price prediction is challenging due to non-stationarity, noise, and volatility. To tackle these issues, we propose the Hybrid Attentive Ensemble Learning Transformer (HAELT), a deep learning framework combining a ResNet-based noise-mitigation module, temporal self-attention for dynamic focus on relevant history, and a hybrid LSTM-Transformer core that captures both local and long-range dependencies. These components are adaptively ensembled based on recent performance. Evaluated on hourly Apple Inc. (AAPL) data from Jan 2024 to May 2025, HAELT achieves the highest F1-Score on the test set, effectively identifying both upward and downward price movements. This demonstrates HAELT's potential for robust, practical financial forecasting and algorithmic trading.
