Application of Machine Learning in Predicting Stock Market Trends

Project Abstract

The stock market is a complex and dynamic environment where various factors influence price movements. Traditional methods of analyzing the stock market have limitations in accurately predicting trends due to the sheer volume of data and the speed at which information is disseminated. In recent years, machine learning algorithms have gained popularity for their ability to process large datasets and identify patterns that may not be apparent to human analysts. This research project aims to explore the application of machine learning techniques in predicting stock market trends.
