This initiative is focused on creating a model driven by deep

learning techniques to forecast stock market trends. It will
integrate past stock performance data with various external
information sources, including the sentiment derived from
financial news. By employing advanced models such as Long
Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, which excel at
recognizing patterns over time, this endeavor aims to enhance
the precision of stock movement predictions. The project will
also incorporate feature engineering strategies, such as
sentiment analysis and the use of technical indicators, to
boost the model's comprehension of market behaviors. To
tackle the challenges posed by imbalanced datasets and noise,
techniques like oversampling and anomaly detection will be
implemented, ensuring the model can accurately identify both
typical trends and unusual occurrences. In the end, this study
aspires to advance the accuracy of stock market predictions,
offering a valuable resource that aids investors in making
well-informed choices based on both historical data and live
sentiment evaluations.
