Financial Market Prediction

Given financial data from popular sites like Yahoo and the London Exchange, the presented paper attempts to model and predict stocks that can be considered "good investments". Stocks are characterized by 125 features ranging from gross domestic product to EDIBTA, and are labeled by discrepancies between stock and market price returns. An artificial neural network (Self-Organizing Map) is fitted to train on more than a million data points to predict "good investments" given testing stocks from 2013 and after.
