The objective of the course is to provide students with an introduction to supervised machine learning and its applications to finance.
At the end of the course, students will be able to implement a whole machine learning pipeline in Python. From key features (data cleaning, cross-validation..) to machine learning models implementation (linear regression, tree-based techniques, neural networks..).
Live-coding and practicing also are main features of the course. Students will be asked for multiple hours labs and a machine learning competition evaluation.
Session 1: Machine learning in finance.
Session 2 : Linear and Logistic regressions.
Session 3 : Machine learning in practice.
Labclass 1 : Financial news impact on Dow Jones index.
Session 4: Tree-based methods.
Session 5 : Feedforward neural networks.
Labclass 2 : Machine learning competition.
Students must be enrolled in courses Python Programming and Applied Times series.
