A Hybrid Deep Learning Framework for Dynamic Pricing: Integrating XGBoost and LSTM


Dynamic pricing plays a vital role in modern e-commerce by enabling adaptive price adjustments that maximize revenue in highly competitive markets. However, traditional machine learning techniques often fail to capture the sequential and nonlinear dynamics of historical price data. To overcome this challenge, we propose a hybrid deep learning model that integrates the feature extraction capabilities of XGBoost with the temporal sequence modelling strength of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. By combining structured feature learning with time-dependent behavioural patterns, the model enhances the accuracy of price prediction, demand forecasting, and elasticity estimation. Experimental results on a synthetically generated e-commerce dataset show that the hybrid framework outperforms conventional models, achieving a significant reduction in RMSE and improved R² scores. These findings highlight the potential of hybrid deep learning approaches as a robust and scalable solution for implementing intelligent, data-driven pricing strategies in both mobile commerce and traditional retail environments.
