SUMMARY:IVADO Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Language\nThis workshop will be given in English. \n\n\n\n\nDescription\nThe Fin-ML/IVADO Workshop is a practical training in machine learning\, applied to concrete problems in investments\, banking and insurance. Over each week\, the workshop will consist of theory in one session\, followed by a problem-solving session. \n\n\n\n\nTarget Audience\nMaster’s and PhD students and professionals with quantitative training who want to learn about new technologies in data science\, machine learning and operations research\, with examples applied to problems in investments\, banking and insurance. \n\n\n\n\nPrerequisites\nKnowledge of Mathematics & Statistics (Linear Algebra\, Probability and Information Theory\, Numerical Computation)\, and Programming (ideally Python) is strongly recommended. The participants can familiarize themselves with Chapters 2 to 4 of the Deep Learning book by Ian Goodfellow and Yoshua Bengio and Aaron Courville (available online deeplearningbook.org) \n\n\nObjectives\n\nIntroduce students and professionals to new technologies in machine learning\, that are most relevant in the financial sector;\nDevelop an understanding of the challenges and issues of data science applied to investments\, banking and insurance;\nLearn to use computer tools to solve concrete problems;\nEncourage interdisciplinary knowledge sharing.\n\n\n\n\n\nTrainers\n\nAden Houssein Aboubaker\, MSc.
