This document discusses using neural networks for financial forecasting. It explains that neural networks can be trained on nonlinear and non-stationary financial data to predict things like stock and commodity prices without restricting models. The document outlines different neural network architectures like NARX models and techniques like backpropagation for training. It also discusses challenges like limited data, noise and non-stationarity. The document demonstrates applying different preprocessing techniques like moving average, FFT and HHT to interest rate, stock and exchange rate data in neural networks, finding that preprocessing can improve performance.
