Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that enables computers to learn from data and
make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning can be used to
forecast market trends by analyzing historical and current data, identifying patterns and
relationships, and generating models that can extrapolate future outcomes. Machine learning can
also adapt to changing data and environments, and improve its accuracy and performance over
time1.
The other options are not commonly used to forecast market trends:
Serverless computing: This is a type of cloud computing that allows customers to run applications or
functions without managing or provisioning servers. Serverless computing can reduce the
operational and infrastructure costs, and improve the scalability and availability of the applications
or functions. However, serverless computing is not directly related to forecasting market trends,
although it can be used to deploy or run machine learning models or applications2.
Data warehouse: This is a centralized repository that stores structured and historical data from
various sources, such as databases, applications, or files. Data warehouse can support business
intelligence and analytics, and provide consistent and reliable data for reporting and decision
making. However, data warehouse is not a forecasting method, but rather a data storage and
integration system, that can be used as an input for machine learning or other forecasting methods3.
Accelerated computing: This is a type of computing that uses specialized hardware, such as graphics
processing units (GPUs) or field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), to accelerate the performance of
certain applications or tasks, such as machine learning, gaming, or video processing. Accelerated
computing can enhance the speed and efficiency of the applications or tasks, and reduce the power
consumption and costs. However, accelerated computing is not a forecasting method, but rather a
computing platform, that can be used to support or enable machine learning or other forecasting
methods4.
