Machine learning concepts. Data preparation
Each machine learning process related to the use of neural networks consists of at least two parts. The first part is related to data loading and preparation for training. The action is known as ETL (extract, transform, load). The second part concerns the actual training of the network. The overall process can be divided into the following parts and steps.
1. Extract, Transform, Load
1. Selection of input variables according to the problem being solved;
2. Structuring the data in a format suitable for loading it in the software environment;
3. Loading data into the environment;
4. Conversion of the data into an appropriate form;
5. Data separation – training and test data;
6. Data normalization.
2. Network training and evaluation
1. Building a network model according to the problem being solved;
2. Setting up network hyperparameters;
3. Network training;
4. Network testing;
5. Comparing the results;
6. Tuning the hyperparameters in order to achieve more satisfactory results;
7. Persisting the trained model. Exporting the model for further use and loading in other environments.
2.1. Extract, Transform, Load
Selection of input variables according to the problem being solved.

- price_close
- news_sentiment
- twitter_sentiment
- reddit_sentiment
2.2. Structuring the data in a format suitable for loading it in the software environment
The input data is structured in a four-column text file, each of which contains values for the corresponding parameter. The text file has the following structure.

3. Loading data into the environment
4. Conversion of the data into an appropriate form


5. Data separation - training and test data
6. Data normalization

MVVM and its implementation in Android
Writing application code before thinking about an architecture is a really bad idea. Android programming does not make a difference. Everybody who starts creating Android apps begins doing so without following a specific architecture.

View in the MVVM architecture
The View component in the MVVM architecture are the UI controllers – Activities and Fragments. They should be as free as possible from any business logic. Their role is to present the data, not to transform it.

Using Room in CryptoOracle
In the Android application CryptoOracle the data is persisted in SQLite database. The reasons are two:
The application can still work and show persisted data when there is no internet connection.
