活动简介：

This talk will explore the use of AI, specifically deep learning models, for multi-commodity price forecasting and market anomaly detection. The agricultural market will be presented as a case study by focusing on essential food commodities such as red chili, shallots, and rice. Deep learning models are applied to daily price data of these food commodities that often show unpredictable swings. A transformer model is used to predict the price trends with improved accuracy, while an attention-based autoencoder helps identify sudden and irregular changes in prices. Together, these AI methods provide early insights that can help small businesses and farmers make smarter decisions, avoid losses, and respond more effectively to market uncertainties.
