Stock market trend prediction using supervised learning

© 2019 Association for Computing Machinery. The stock trend prediction has received considerable attention of researchers in recent times. It is an important application in machine learning domain. In this work, we propose a machine learning based stock trend prediction system with a focus on minimizing data sparseness in the acquired datasets. We perform outlier detection on the acquired dataset for dimensionality reduction and employ K-nearest neighbor classifier for predicting stock trend. Results obtained show the effectiveness of the proposed system, when compared with baseline studies
