Inspiration
Using ML to fix a problem which many people come into, if a stock will go up or down.
What it does
Uses data from news article titles, and trains a sentiment model giving each article a sentimentscore from zero to one, and takes an average score from all sentimentscores to give a final output of whether the stock goes up or down.
How we built it
Using ML combined with google colab allowed for a powerful ai model to grasp scores and add them to different companies
Challenges we ran into
Where do get the headlines, this was a hard feat, but found a github repo containing a .csv file which allowed us, not much data, but a proof of concept. As this model can be used with more recent data and more headlines and become more accurate and more up to date.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Getting it to work
Exploring and exploiting transformers which are used in powerful models as seen in open ai's gpt-3 and google's various ai models.
What we learned
Using many and a variety of machine learning libraries which before this was unknown to me. I didn't know any machine learning before this.
What's next for Stock Picker
Using more data and more accurate data to automate stock trades and hopefully make money off it.
