The model first encodes both short- and long-term series of stock prices so that it can mention short- and long-term changes in stock prices. In the decoding phase, our model can also generate a numerical value by selecting an appropriate arithmetic operation such as subtraction or rounding, and applying it to the input stock prices. Empirical experiments show that our best model generates market comments at the fluency and the informativeness approaching human-generated reference texts. %R 10.18653/v1/P17-1126 %U https://aclanthology.org/P17-1126 %U https://doi.org/10.18653/v1/P17-1126 %P 1374-1384
