Trend Predictions Paper

Research

Published paper on applying neural networks for stock price forecasting using CNNs, PyTorch, and walk-forward validation.

Role: Research & DevelopmentScope: Capstone ProjectStack: Python, PyTorch, Google Colab

Overview

As part of my bachelor’s capstone, I co-authored and published *“Feasibility of the Neural Network Model for Stock Price Prediction”* in the Journal of Industrial Information Technology and Application (2024).

We trained a 1D CNN on three years of Tesla and Disney data, with leakage-safe feature engineering and walk-forward validation. Results showed CNNs can rival recurrent models in stability, proving that data discipline matters more than complexity.


Outcomes

Validated CNNs as a feasible alternative to LSTMs for short-term forecasting.

Reinforced the importance of rigorous validation in financial modeling.
