The global precious metal market (e.g., gold, silver, etc.) has significantly grown over the past decades and is expected to grow in future. Specifically, gold, a highly liquid asset, plays a crucial role in preventing individuals and organizations from the adverse effects of a declining dollar. Accurately predicting gold prices not only allows us to uncover evolving patterns in asset prices but also offers opportunities to make strategic investment decisions. Such knowledge is important for both investors and those new to the financial markets.This course introduce deep learning predictive analytics focusing on the global gold market. It provides detailed guidelines for analyzing and forecasting future gold prices using advanced deep learning models, such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network. Throughout the course, students will gain hands-on experience in conducting exploratory data analysis, mastering feature engineering, and building robust deep learning models using Python/PyTorch. This practical approach ensures students understand the theoretical underpinnings and apply knowledge effectively in real-world scenarios.At the end of this class, students are expected to be proficient in utilizing deep learning models (e.g., LSTM) for time series analysis and extend these applications to other domains (e.g., stock market prediction, trend analysis, temperature forecast, etc.)
