Lab Assignment #5 – Apply LSTM algorithm to make future predictions

using time series data

Due Date: Sunday 11:59pm, Week 13

Purpose: The purpose of this Lab assignment is to:

 Build LSTM models to make future predictions using time series data
 Use TensorFlow for implementing LSTM models and evaluate their
accuracy

References: Read reference books and the lecture slides. This material provides the necessary
information that you need to complete the exercises.

Be sure to read the following general instructions carefully:

- This assignment must be completed individually by all the students.
- You will have to demonstrate your solution in a scheduled lab session and upload the
solution on eCentennial through the assignment link.

Exercise 1: LSTM

In this exercise you will implement an LSTM model to make future predictions using time series
data. Use TensorFlow to build an LSTM model for predicting stock prices for a company listed
in the NASDAQ listings.

Evaluate the model accuracy.

(5 marks)

Exercise 2: LSTM

In this exercise you will implement an LSTM model to generate text. Use a book from project
Gutenberg website, for example The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain:
https://www.gutenberg.org/files/74/74-0.txt. Use the LSTM model to generate new sequences of
characters. Then use a dataset with lyrics from a Canadian artist like Drake. Use the LSTM
model to generate new lyrics.

Evaluate the model accuracy.
