Final Year Project

Project Title

Prediction of Financial Commodities Using Artificial Intelligence

Description

My Final Year Project is ‘Prediction of Financial Commodities using Artificial Intelligence'. The idea behind this project is to provide an expert opinion to assist users that are interested in investing in financial commodities. The scope of this project caters to major commodities such as the US Dollar, cryptocurrencies and/or Gold prices, but can be extended to any other commodity if given a sufficient amount of data. The project uses Sentiment Analysis extracted from various news articles to give out a score, which is then fed into the system to predict the price for a given commodity.
