| About This Course |
OUR TRAINING PARTNER: QUANTUNIVERSITY
The use of data science and machine learning in the investment industry is increasing. Financial firms are using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to augment traditional investment decision making. In this course, we aim to bring clarity on how AI and machine learning are revolutionizing financial services. We will introduce key concepts, and through examples and case studies we will illustrate the role of machine learning, data science techniques, and AI in the investment industry. Rather than just showing how to write code or run experiments in Python, we will provide an intuitive understanding to machine learning with just enough mathematics and basic statistics.
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Describe the role of Machine Learning and AI in financial services
- Describe when ML and AI techniques are used
- List the key machine learning methodologies
- Choose an algorithm for a specific goal
- Participate in case studies with fully functional code
