Fascination Science public lecture Tuesday (25 June) - Predicting GDP using Machine Learning
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on its own is not a very sexy topic, but trying to predict it using machine learning and data analysis might be!
Our next lecture in the Fascination Science series is on Tuesday 25th June 7pm-8.30pm at Massey University's Albany campus in the Sir Neil Waters lecture theatre. It will look at the colourful history of GDP including criticisms and some clever global estimation strategies.
Although often described as an economic measure, the problem that needs to be solved is not GDP's relevance, but the ability to get quick up-to-date indicators of GDP in a relevant time frame. Information on what happened three months ago is of limited use.
Massey University's Dr Teo Susnjak will outline his approach to building a real-time GDP predictor using machine learning, together with its forecasting results from the past six months.
