Extend your expertise of algorithms and tools needed to predict financial markets. What you'll learn Compare ML for Finance with ML in Technology (image and speech recognition, robotics, etc.) Describe linear regression and classification models and methods of their evaluation Explain how Reinforcement Learning is used for stock trading Become familiar with popular approaches to modeling market frictions and feedback effects for option trading. Skills you'll gain Tensorflow Financial Engineering Reinforcement Learning Machine Learning Predictive Modelling The main goal of this specialization is to provide the knowledge and practical skills necessary to develop a strong foundation on core paradigms and algorithms of machine learning (ML), with a particular focus on applications of ML to various practical problems in Finance. The specialization aims at helping students to be able to solve practical ML-amenable problems that they may encounter in real life that include: (1) mapping the problem on a general landscape of available ML methods, (2) choosing particular ML approach(es) that would be most appropriate for resolving the problem, and (3) successfully implementing a solution, and assessing its performance. The specialization is designed for three categories of students A· Practitioners working at financial institutions such as banks, asset management firms or hedge funds A· Current full-time students pursuing a degree in Finance, Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or other related disciplines who want to learn about practical applications of ML in Finance. The modules can also be taken individually to improve relevant skills in a particular area of applications of ML to finance. Applied Learning Project The specialization is essentially in ML where all examples, home assignments and course projects deal with various problems in Finance (such as stock trading, asset management, and banking applications), and the choice of topics is respectively driven by a focus on ML methods that are used by practitioners in Finance. The specialization is meant to prepare the students to work on complex machine learning projects in finance that often require both a broad understanding of the whole field of ML, and understanding of appropriateness of different methods available in a particular sub-field of ML (for example, Unsupervised Learning) for addressing practical problems they might encounter in their work.
