Cíle předmětu
The ever increasing amount of data already dictates our understanding of finance. The ability to process, study, interpret and present such data leads to an enormous competitive advantage on the job market; the Machine Learning in Finance gives students the possibility to work towards this advantage. The course is centered on key topics of machine learning with specific emphasis on case studies applied in the context of financial markets, credit and profit scoring, hedonic price models for real estate and used cars. Key topics include: data pre-processing, unsupervised learning methods, predictive modelling via OLS, LASSO, RIDGE, EN, Complete Subset Regressions, Logistic regression, Random Forest. Basic principles of Gradient Boosting, Support Vector Machines or other methods are also discussed. Selected principles discussed in the course are handling of data-snooping bias, hyper-parameter tuning, bagging and boosting, ensemble learning. Course is primarily led in program R.
Výstupy z učení
After completing the course, the student should be able to: - identify areas where data techniques might be useful, - prepare and design data analysis, - understand key concepts of machine learning, - program and present analysis using R or Python.

  • Introduction 1. Introduction to Artificial Intelligence in Finance – applications in Finance, variance bias trade-off, supervised and unsupervised learning, semi-supervised learning, reinforced learning, critique of machine learning with over-fitting and model interpretability. 2. Data pre-processing – handling missing data part I., outliers, data transformation, feature engineering. Supervised AI in Finance - continuous outcome 3. Standard machine learning framework – multivariate regression, interactions, dummies, model/variable selection, in-sample and out-of-sample approach, loss functions for continuous target variables. Data snooping bias – model confidence set. 4. Regularization techniques – LASSO, Ridge, Elastic net. hyper-parameter tuning – cross-validation, leave-one-out, grid search, Complete subset regressions, Decision trees, Random forest and support vector machines. 5. Tree-based methods - decision trees, pre-pruning, post-pruning, bagging, random forest, boosting trees. Supervised AI in Finance - discrete outcomes 6. Logistic regression – marginal effects. Discrete choice model evaluation – confusion matrix. AUC. 7. LASSO, Ridge, Elastic net, Complete Subset Logistic Regression. 8. Tree-Based methods, decision trees, pre-pruning, post-pruning, bagging, random forest, boosting for discrete outcomes. Unsupervised machine learning 9. Unsupervised machine learning – distance measures, k-means, k-medoids, CLARA, agglomeration clustering, cluster validation and optimization. 10. Principal component analysis, network based feature selection techniques. Further topics in machine learning 11. Forecast combination - ensemble techniques, Time-series models, model based approach to missing data, sample selection. 12. Further modelling options: Linear Discriminant Analysis, Naïve Bayes classification. 12. Further modelling options: Support vector machines, Neural Networks.
