This course aims at providing an introductory and broad overview of the field of ML with the focus on applications on Finance. Supervised Machine Learning methods are used in the capstone project to predict bank closures. Simultaneously, while this course can be taken as a separate course, it serves as a preview of topics that are covered in more details in subsequent modules of the specialization Machine Learning and Reinforcement Learning in Finance.
The goal of Guided Tour of Machine Learning in Finance is to get a sense of what Machine Learning is, what it is for and in how many different financial problems it can be applied to.
The course is designed for three categories of students:
Practitioners working at financial institutions such as banks, asset management firms or hedge funds
Individuals interested in applications of ML for personal day trading
Current full-time students pursuing a degree in Finance, Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or other related disciplines who want to learn about practical applications of ML in Finance
Experience with Python (including numpy, pandas, and IPython/Jupyter notebooks), linear algebra, basic probability theory and basic calculus is necessary to complete assignments in this course.

关于 Machine Learning and Reinforcement Learning in Finance 专项课程
The main goal of this specialization is to provide the knowledge and practical skills necessary to develop a strong foundation on core paradigms and algorithms of machine learning (ML), with a particular focus on applications of ML to various practical problems in Finance.
The specialization aims at helping students to be able to solve practical ML-amenable problems that they may encounter in real life that include:
(1) mapping the problem on a general landscape of available ML methods,
(2) choosing particular ML approach(es) that would be most appropriate for resolving the problem, and
(3) successfully implementing a solution, and assessing its performance.
The specialization is designed for three categories of students:
· Practitioners working at financial institutions such as banks, asset management firms or hedge funds
· Individuals interested in applications of ML for personal day trading
· Current full-time students pursuing a degree in Finance, Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or other related disciplines who want to learn about practical applications of ML in Finance.
The modules can also be taken individually to improve relevant skills in a particular area of applications of ML to finance.
