Council Post: Making Machine Learning Work For Financial Market Prediction

Shivam has over 10 years of experience in the investment industry and in applying Artificial Intelligence techniques. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) models are mathematical models that find pre-existing relationships in data. These are powerful techniques successful across industries, but when it comes to predicting financial markets, professionals have mixed opinions. In the past 10 years, the financial industry has spent a lot of resources to utilize complex models in stock prediction, but unfortunately, the question remains the same: Are these complex models good enough for predicting financial markets? The mathematical models try to find pre-existing relationships between output variables and input variables, but if a relationship does not exist, then it does not matter which model you use; the prediction would be wrong.
