Stock market prediction is a challenging and complex problem that has received the attention of researchers due to the high returns resulting from an improved prediction. Even though machine learning models are popular in this domain dynamic and the volatile nature of the stock markets limits the accuracy of stock prediction. Studies show that incorporating news sentiment in stock market predictions enhances performance compared to models using stock features alone. There is a need to develop an architecture that facilitates noise removal from stock data, captures market sentiments, and ensures prediction to a reasonable degree of accuracy. The proposed cooperative deep-learning architecture comprises a deep autoencoder, lexicon-based software for sentiment analysis of news headlines, and LSTM/GRU layers for prediction. The autoencoder is used to denoise the historical stock data, and the denoised data is transferred into the deep learning model along with news sentiments. The stock data is concatenated with the sentiment score and is fed to the LSTM/GRU model for output prediction. The model's performance is evaluated using the standard measures used in the literature. The results show that the combined model using deep autoencoder with news sentiments performs better than the standalone LSTM/GRU models. The performance of our model also compares favorably with state-of-the-art models in the literature.
