Foundations of Machine Learning and AI for Financial Professionals
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\, will illustrate the role of machine learning\, data science techniques\, and AI in the investment industry. In this series\, we will provide an intuitive understanding to machine learning with just enough mathematics and basic statistics.
You will learn:

When do we use Machine learning and AI techniques?
What are the key machine learning methodologies?
How do you choose an algorithm for a specific goal?
Practical Case studies with fully functional code

Who should attend:

Fundamental and quantitative analysts\, risk and investment professionals\, portfolio managers<br />new to data science and machine learning
