Deep Q Learning Applied To Stock Trading, Agnibh Dasgupta
Deep Q Learning Applied To Stock Trading, Agnibh Dasgupta
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Developing a strategy for stock trading is a vital task for investors. However, it is challenging to obtain an optimal strategy, given the complex and dynamic nature of the stock market. This thesis aims to explore the applications of Reinforcement Learning with the goal of maximizing returns from market investment, keeping in mind the human aspect of trading by utilizing stock prices represented as candlestick graphs. Furthermore, the algorithm studies public interest patterns in form of graphs extracted from Google Trends to make predictions. Deep Q learning has been used to train an agent based on fused images of stock …
Acquisition, Processing, And Analysis Of Video, Audio And Meteorological Data In Multi-Sensor Electronic Beehive Monitoring, Sarbajit Mukherjee
Acquisition, Processing, And Analysis Of Video, Audio And Meteorological Data In Multi-Sensor Electronic Beehive Monitoring, Sarbajit Mukherjee
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
In recent years, a widespread decline has been seen in honey bee population and this is widely attributed to colony collapse disorder. Hence, it is of utmost importance that a system is designed to gather relevant information. This will allow for a deeper understanding of the possible reasons behind the above phenomenon to aid in the design of suitable countermeasures.
Electronic Beehive Monitoring is one such way of gathering critical information regarding a colony’s health and behavior without invasive beehive inspections. In this dissertation, we have presented an electronic beehive monitoring system called BeePi that can be placed on top …
Development And Identification Of Metrics To Predict The Impact Of Dimension Reduction Techniques On Classical Machine Learning Algorithms For Still Highway Images, Wasim Akram Khan
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
We are witnessing an influx of data - images, texts, video, etc. Their high dimensionality and large volume make it challenging to apply machine learning to obtain actionable insight. This thesis explores several aspects pertaining to dimensional reduction: dimension reduction methods, metrics to measure distortion, image preprocessing, etc. Faster training and inference time on reduced data and smaller models which can be deployed on commodity hardware are a critical advantage of dimension reduction. For this study, classical machine learning methods were explored owing to their solid mathematical foundation and interpretability.
The dataset used is a time series of images from …
Applications Of Machine Learning In High-Frequency Trade Direction Classification, Jared E. Hansen
Applications Of Machine Learning In High-Frequency Trade Direction Classification, Jared E. Hansen
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The correct assignment of trades as buyer-initiated or seller-initiated is paramount in many quantitative finance studies. Simple decision rule methods have been used for signing trades since many data sets available to researchers do not include the sign of each trade executed. By utilizing these decision rule methods, as well as engineering new variables from available data, we have demonstrated that machine learning models outperform prior methods for accurately signing trades as buys and sells, achieving state-of-the-art results. The best model developed was 4.5 percentage points more accurate than older methods when predicting onto unseen data. Since finance and economics …
