Abstract
In recent times, financial globalization has drastically increased in different ways to improve the quality of services with advanced resources. The successful applications of bitcoin Blockchain (BC) techniques enable the stockholders to worry about the return and risk of financial products. The stockholders focused on the prediction of return rate and risk rate of financial products. Therefore, an automatic return rate bitcoin prediction model becomes essential for BC financial products. The newly designed machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) approaches pave the way for return rate predictive method. This study introduces a novel Jellyfish search optimization based extreme learning machine with autoencoder (JSO-ELMAE) for return rate prediction of BC financial products. The presented JSO-ELMAE model designs a new ELMAE model for predicting the return rate of financial products. Besides, the JSO algorithm is exploited to tune the parameters related to the ELMAE model which in turn boosts the classification results. The application of JSO technique assists in optimal parameter adjustment of the ELMAE model to predict the bitcoin return rates. The experimental validation of the JSO-ELMAE model was executed and the outcomes are inspected in many aspects. The experimental values demonstrated the enhanced performance of the JSO-ELMAE model over recent state of art approaches with minimal RMSE of 0.1562.Keywords
The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) experiences massive variations for years in which numerous effective applications have been provided to the general public to offer a very comfortable life at present [1]. One such significant research branch of AI technologies is known as machine learning (ML), the 3 demonstrative learning technologies: semi-supervised, supervised, and unsupervised. All these 3 technologies are utilized solely in an intellectual system and obviously, they could be further integrated when it becomes necessary to solve a problematic matter in question collectively [2,3]. The underlying ideology of ML is using unlabelled or labelled input data for finding suitable regulations to categorize the yet strange data or to predict events in the upcoming years. In recent times, economic globalization was speedily developed, and along with that, distinct prospects restricting industrial growth were overcome with the rapid enhancing sources [4]. Speedy development in socio-economic markets was monitored. The media of socio-economic advancement decides socio-economic markets. It controls or manages the allotment of the whole economic and public scheme and therefore turns into a crucial portion of socio-economic advancement [5,6]. The worldwide internet growth has resulted in the development of multiple internet related financial products like Yu’EBao, Baidu Economic Management, and this evolution definitely has significant effects on community.
Currently, a brand-new internet economics structure established by world impacts namely digital currency, peer-to-peer (P2P), blockchain (BC), and crowdfunding, might act as a majority portion in the expansion of the global monetary markets [7]. BC systems can be fixed as orderly developments in which the intrusion has huge influences by transferring the function of industries from centralized to decentralized arrangements. Every time it alters the unreliable agent without demanding entity related systems [8,9]. Adding to the progressive growth, the interference of BC finance generates a strong influence on orthodox financial goals [10]. These influences effectively gained the attention of researchers who study BC financial products. Owing to the shortfalls stated in literature works that regularly utilized the speedy placement of AI approaches, a quantity of authors implied arithmetic systems for computing and examining the quantifiable financial data.
Ji et al. [11] discussed several recent DL techniques like deep residual network, deep neural network (DNN), convolutional neural network (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), and its group for Bitcoin price prediction. Salb et al. [12] offer optimized techniques such as enhancing the support vector machine (SVM) technique by utilizing an enhanced version of technique sine cosine for anticipating cryptocurrency values. The fundamental of sine cosine algorithm (SCA) is improved with easy exploration process and then estimated by related to other approaches run on matching sets of data. Snihovyi et al. [13] create the 3 application elements into single robo-advisor that integrates their structure and modern financial instrument–cryptocurrency for the first time. The primary component is LSTM-NN that predicts the cryptocurrency prices daily. The secondary component utilizes robo-advising technique for building an investment plan for novice cryptocurrency investors with distinct risk attitudes in investment decisions. The tertiary component has been ETL (Extract-Transform-Load) to a statistics data set and NNs methods. Kim et al. [14] examine the connection amongst inherent Ethereum BC data and Ethereum prices. Moreover, it can be explored that BC data regarding other publicly accessible coins on the market has been connected with Ethereum prices. Metawa et al. [15] progress the intelligent return rate prediction method utilizing DL to BC financial products (RRP-DLBFP). The presented RRP-DLBFP algorithm contains planning an LSTM technique for prediction analysis of return rate. Also, the Adam optimization was executed to optimum alter the LSTM technique hyperparameters, therefore improving the prediction efficiency. Some other models are also available in the literature [16–18].

2.1 Process Involved in ELMAE Model
Primarily, the presented JSO-ELMAE model designs a new ELMAE model to predict the return rate of financial products. At this time, ELMAE was regarded as a classifier method. It executes attained features and evaluates the probability for objects present in the image. Mostly, the activation function and dropout layer are utilized to establish non-linearity and decrease over-fitting problems correspondingly. The ELM has been determined as single hidden-layer feed-forward neural network (SLFN). It can be obvious that hidden layer is non-linear because of the occurrence of nonlinear activation function [19]. Thus, the resultant layer is linear without activation function. It has been collected in 3 layers such as input, hidden, as well as output layers. Consider that x is a trained sample and

2.2 Parameter Optimization Process
In this work, the JSO algorithm is exploited to tune the parameters related to the ELMAE model which in turn boosts the classification results [21–23]. In JSO, the initialized population of the jellyfish is seeded in a different form by projecting chaotic logistics as follows [24]:
In Eq. (15),
• The jellyfish moves inside the swarm or towards the ocean current. The transitions between them are guided through a timing control system (TCS) [25].
• Next, when the food supply is sufficient, the jellyfish is attracted to the corresponding position.
• Then, the objective values display the food quantity. A time regulation parameter
In Eq. (16), t indicates the present iteration,
In Eq. (17), R indicates the random integer ranges from [0, 1]. When the jellyfish does not follow the current of the ocean, it travels inside the swarm that takes the active or passive movement behavior. In the passive movement, most jellyfish move all over the particular site where the location is adjusted by [26]:
In Eq. (18),
In Eq. (19), f indicates the food volume with respect to the objective valuation associated with jellyfish location. The TCS is utilized for performing the selection condition of active and passive types. With that regard, a random number is generated within the interval of [0-1]. When the number is large when compared to the term
In Eq. (20),
For verifying the goodness of the presented JSO-ELMAE method, the Ethereum (ETH) return rate is selected as target and the experimental analysis is executed on it for verifying the predictive outcomes on the time series. The comparative study is made with recent models under several measures.
