In the book, readers will learn how to:
- Structure big data in a way that is amenable to ML algorithms
- Conduct research with ML algorithms on big data
- Use supercomputing methods and back test their discoveries while avoiding false positives
Advances in Financial Machine Learning addresses real life problems faced by practitioners every day, and explains scientifically sound solutions using math, supported by code and examples. Readers become active users who can test the proposed solutions in their individual setting.
