This study examined a new methodology for predicting volatility in financial markets by combining the modified Heston model (JSF) with Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Forecasting volatility is essential in various financial contexts, such as risk management, option pricing and portfolio optimization. Although the traditional Heston model is effective but it does not account for additional elements like jumps and investor sentiment factors, which impact asset price dynamics. To address this limitation, the extended Heston model with jump and sentiment variables helped in enhancing its ability to capture complex market trends. We utilized ANN's predictive capabilities on the modified Heston model to improve volatility predictions using historical random market data from NASDAQ Composite. The ANN was trained on simulated data from the modified Heston model and assessed on its effectiveness in forecasting volatility. This approach helped in developing a forecasting hybrid semi-parametric model known as the modified-Heston-ANN model. Our findings revealed that this integrated approach outperformed the individual model, offering more precise and robust volatility predictions
