Thesis Topic

 

Anomaly Detection in Stock Market data using Deep Learning Models

My thesis topic is Anomaly detection in stock market data using deep learning models. It deals with various anomalies in the stock market data, specifically insider trading. Insider trading is crucial to maintain the market integrity and fairness of trading to all. Detecting this has been done in isolation considering the securities as independent units with no correlation. In my research we are trying to improve the performance of the existing methods by taking into consideration the correlation of data.
