| dc.description.abstract | Accurate financial time series forecasting is essential for informed investment and risk management decisions. Traditional methods, including statistical techniques such as SMA, ARIMA, VAR, and LASSO, and deep learning models like LSTM and Transformer, often fall short of capturing the complex seasonal and cyclical dynamics inherent in financial data. To overcome the noted shortcomings, this study introduces a transfer learning approach utilizing an enhanced Transformer model with correlation-based attention mechanisms. This proposed model significantly improves its capacity to capture long-term dependencies and perform robust cross-market predictions. Initially trained on the Dow Jones Index, it demonstrates superior transferability to diverse asset classes, including stock indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. Experimental evaluations across multiple metrics, including MSE, MAE, MHD, and R<sup>2</sup>, reveal that the proposed model consistently outperforms benchmarks. Notably, it achieves outstanding predictive accuracy in BTC (MSE: 0.0352) and SET (MSE: 0.1701), establishing a strong foundation for advanced transfer learning applications in financial forecasting across varied markets. | |
