This project brings together three teams: Data Collection, Data Warehousing, and Machine Learning into a unified, end-to-end system for high-frequency stock price prediction.
Learn how we designed a scalable pipeline using distributed computing and XGBoost, covering system architecture, data engineering, and real-world ML applications in algorithmic trading.
This work also establishes a foundation for ongoing research and extended large-scale evaluation.
Open to students, faculty, and anyone interested in machine learning, data systems, or fintech.

Abstract:

This presentation discusses an automated data collection and staging pipeline for high-frequency stock price prediction using machine learning. The system integrates scalable ELT processes, data deduplication, and distributed training with XGBoost on high-performance computing infrastructure. Designed for precision, speed, and scalability, the framework enables efficient handling of large financial time-series datasets while maintaining robust predictive performance and optimized resource utilization.

Join this presentation to explore how a Data Warehouse system is built to manage and process large-scale stock market data. The project demonstrates how raw financial data is transformed into structured formats that can be efficiently queried and used for predictive modelling.

You’ll learn:

• How Data Warehouses store and organize large datasets
• Star schema design in a real system
• How data pipelines automate transformation of financial data
• How machine learning models use prepared datasets for predictions
• How large datasets are processed efficiently

Abstract:
This presentation explains how large volumes of stock market data are organized and processed using a structured database system. The system takes raw financial data and converts it into a format that is easier to store, search, and analyze.

The data is processed through an automated pipeline that calculates key financial values such as price changes and trading volume summaries. The structured data is then stored in an optimized system that allows fast access and efficient analysis.

This approach helps make large financial datasets more usable and easier to work with.

Speakers Bio:
Emilio Iturbide Gonzalez is a graduating Computer Science student at Okanagan College with interests in data systems, software engineering, and artificial intelligence.
