Crude Oil Price Forecast based on Text News
Skalický, Jan ; Bojar, Ondřej (advisor) ; Žabokrtský, Zdeněk (referee)
For crude oil price forecast, there is a whole range of algorithms. In this thesis we bring out a new perspective on this issue and introduce our project COPF. Using a maximum entropy classifier, we try to predict the change in crude oil price from text information available on the Internet. We are taking advantage of the knowledge of experts in the field. As a part of the thesis, we tested and improved COPF precision. We have found out that this approach poses a lot of interesting problems. In the current state, the precision of our prediction surpassed the baseline but for further development, it is necessary to obtain more data sources. Our algorithm has never been regarded as a self-standing method but it may nicely complement numerical algorithms.
