Abstract

Stock investment is an investment that, in addition to bringing potential profits, can result in losses if it is not possible to analyze and predict stock prices. Machine learning can be used as a tool for stock prediction, one of which is an artificial neural networks. The Backpropagation Algorithm is an artificial neural network algorithm that is commonly used in pattern recogni- tion. The performance of the Backpropagation Algorithm in forecasting was very good. Backpropagation Algorithm prediction has advantages in terms of accuracy; however, it also has weaknesses: it has a slow convergence rate and requires a long training time. To overcome the weaknesses of the Backpropagation Algorithm, improvements must be made to the algo- rithm, by adding an adaptive learning rate and momentum coefficient. The adaptive learning rate and momentum coefficient are methods that aim to increase the effectiveness of the learning rate and coefficient parameters, where these parameters increase the learning speed of the Backpropaga-tion Algorithm. The existence of an adaptive learning rate and momentum is known to accelerate the learning process without significantly reducing the accuracy. Research has been conducted on the implementation of backpropagation artificial neural networks with adaptive learning rate and momentum correlation (BPALM) in predicting stock prices. The comparison results show that the adaptive learning rate and momentum correlation in the Backpropagation Algorithm can accelerate the learning process in the Backpropagation Algorithm. The Backpropagation Algorithm with an adaptive learning rate and momentum correlation requires 30% less learn-ing time than the conventional backpropagation algorithm. In addition to accelerating the learning process, the Backpropagation Algorithm with an adaptive learning rate and momentum correlation also had a high accuracy value of 98%.
