Contradiction Resolution for Foreign Exchange Rates Estimation

Ryotaro Kamimura

2012

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new type of information-theoretic method called ”contradiction resolution.” In this method, we suppose that a neuron should be evaluated for itself (self-evaluation) and by all the other neurons (outer-evaluation). If some difference or contradiction between two types of evaluation can be found, the contradiction should be decreased as much as possible. We applied the method to the self-organizing maps with an output layer, which is a kind of combination of the self-organizing maps with the RBF networks. When the method was applied to the dollar-yen exchange rates, prediction and visualization performance could be improved simultaneously.
