Machine learning is taking over the financial world. It uses computers to run scientific models that forecast future behaviours, outcomes, and trends. Machine learning has given us algorithm trading, robo-advisors, and improved understanding of human behaviour in the capital market.

This course will give students clear explanations of machine learning theory combined with practical scenarios and hands-on exercises. The course will also draw from numerous case studies and applications so that students also learn how to apply learning algorithms to building to the real situation.
