Pattern-Based Feature Extraction for Improved Deep Learning in Financial Time Series Classification by Seyed Ali Hosseini, Francesco Grimaccia, Alessandro Niccolai, Silvia Trimarchi

“…By collecting tick-by-tick data from the European Carbon Emission Allowance market and resampling it to a 15-minute timeframe, we developed a method to detect pivotal price patterns and extract relevant features. Integrating these features with traditional open, high, low, close, and volume (OHLCV) data in long-short-term memory (LSTM) and gated recurrent unit (GRU) combined with dense neural networks, our empirical results demonstrate significant improvements in model performance, showcasing enhanced accuracy compared to models using only traditional data features.…”
