摘要

In financial time series classification, concept drift adaptation is crucial to maintain model performance, as data distributions evolve over time. To handle concept drift, there are mainly two methods: detection-based, which uses historical data, and non-detection-based, which relies on more immediate, smaller volume real-time data. The former preserves historical patterns but comparatively exhibits hysteresis, while the latter is opposition. Thus, it remains a challenge to achieve continuous model updating while preserving historical patterns. To address this issue, we propose a novel non-detection-based method. This method retains valuable historical patterns and achieves continuous model updating by observing distribution variations, which simultaneously controls different hyperparameters on a data. Specifically, we develop the Adaptive Financial Time Series Classification Model (AFinSeqClass), which integrates the Complementary Margin Support Vector Machine (C-Margin SVM) and the Inverse Derivation Algorithm (InvDA) to handle sample and feature selection. For sample selection, C-Margin SVM is a dual-distribution approach that skillfully utilizes soft and hard margin theories to generate two distinct data distributions from one dataset. These two distributions generate a dynamic signal-to-noise ratio margin—complementary margin, which is the set difference between the soft margin and hard margin. We then select low-noise and information-rich samples from the complementary margin. For feature selection, InvDA reverses the forward derivation of financial features using cooperative co-evolution strategies to break down complex problems into smaller sub-problems, corresponding to homologous feature groups to gradually refine the feature set, minimizing the redundancy among features. Through the cooperation of these two algorithms, across a series of stocks, the AFinSeqClass model achieves a classification accuracy exceeding 60%.
