This course focuses on the application of advanced artificial intelligence techniques to 21 solved case studies in stock trading and hedging strategies, portfolio construction, modelling options strategies, investor's modelling, financial news and building Robotic-Advisors. The advanced techniques include the incorporation of recently open-sourced libraries for the calculation and evaluation of financial indicators, the incorporation of custom functions for cross validation, evaluation and model selection, the reformulation of problems in terms of reinforcement learning, and the implementation in Python of reinforcement learning solutions and the analysis of situations where reinforcement learning fails.
