This study proposes a 5-month rebar price prediction method using the recursive prediction method of deep learning. This approach predicts a long-term point in time by repeating the process of predicting all the characteristics of the input data and adding them to the original data and predicting the next point in time. The predicted average accuracy of the rebar prices for one to five months is approximately 97.24% in the manner presented in this study. Through the proposed method, it is expected that more accurate cost planning will be possible than the existing method by supplementing the systematicity of the price estimation method through human experience and judgment. In addition, it is expected that the method presented in this study can be utilized in studies that predict long-term prices using time series data including building materials other than rebar.

This study presents a systematic procedure for developing a short-term prediction deep learning model of rebar price using bidirectional LSTM, Random Search, data combination, Dropout. In general, users intuitively determine these values, making it time-consuming and repetitive attempts to explore results with good predictive performance, and the results found by these attempts cannot be guaranteed to be excellent. With the proposed approach presented in this study, the average accuracy of short-term price forecasts is approximately 98.32%. In addition, this approach could be used as basic data to produce good predictive results in a study that predicts prices with time series data based on statistics, including building materials other than rebars.
