My work primarily focused on building predictive models for national sales forecasting, using historical macroeconomic indicators to anticipate future trends.I collaborated with a team of talented researchers from universities including Georgia Tech, University of Rochester, and an Industry ML engineer to explore how different neural network architectures, including feedforward neural networks (FNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) models, perform in forecasting nationwide sales data. We analyzed various economic indicators such as GDP, consumer sentiment, and labor market statistics, preprocessing large datasets for use in our models. Our research culminated in actionable insights and practical implications for the application of deep learning models in economic forecasting, which were presented in a conference to over 90 undergraduate, graduate and PhDs.
