AI-Driven Financial Forecasting: Machine Learning Models for Market Prediction
Main Article Content
Abstract
Financial forecasters now have access to more accurate and data-driven market behavior predictions thanks to artificial intelligence (AI). The complexity, volatility, and non-linear patterns that are inherent to financial markets are often too much for traditional forecasting tools to handle. Machine learning models, on the other hand, can sift through mountains of data, both old and new, in search of patterns, outliers, and correlations that can enhance their predicting abilities. Machine learning models, including regression algorithms, decision trees, support vector machines, and deep learning structures, such as neural networks and recurrent models, are the primary tools used in AI-driven financial forecasting. how these models employ a variety of data sources, including past prices, economic indicators, and sentiment research from social media and news, to forecast market patterns, financial risks, and stock prices. data quality, overfitting, model interpretability, and market unpredictability are some of the strengths and limits of AI-based forecasting. Reliable predictions can be achieved through the use of risk management measures, model optimization, and feature selection.
