Abstract
In the context of new quality productive forces, enterprises must leverage technological innovation and intelligent management to enhance financial risk resilience. This article proposes a financial distress prediction model based on deep learning, combined with a CNN, BiLSTM, and attention mechanism, using SMOTE for sample imbalance and Hyperband for hyperparameter optimization. Among four CNN-BiLSTM-AT model structures and seven mainstream models (CNN, BiLSTM, CNN-BiLSTM, CNN-AT, BiLSTM-AT, CNN-GRU, and Transformer), the 1CNN-1BiLSTM-AT model achieved the highest validation accuracy and relatively faster training speed. We conducted 100 repeated experiments using data from two companies, with validation on 2025 data, confirming the model’s stability and effectiveness in real-world scenarios. This article lays a solid empirical foundation for further optimization of financial distress warning models.
