Data Science x Finance: From Loan Delinquency to Deep Learning

Details

Established tech giants and startups alike have been clamoring for a seat at the table in the banking and insurance industries. Adapting to this new reality means using the tools of the newcomers’ trade - data science, big data, and algorithms - and supplementing those technologies with the unique assets and strengths of traditional banking and insurance companies.

This Meet-up will help you learn a bit more about this thanks to Expert Insights.

First Talk: Dive Deeper in Finance

Deep Learning is becoming a hot topic in Finance and penetrates the industry quickly. We see applications in anomaly detection, customer behavior analysis, risk management, price prediction, algorithmic trading, portfolio construction, etc.

This talk covers two Deep Learning applications in finance. First we look at how to build generative time series models with deep recurrent variational autoencoders. The second application shows how to apply deep reinforcement learning to implement a data-driven portfolio construction and algorithmic trading methodology. This approach can overcome the common information bottleneck in traditional mean variance portfolio optimization or signal based trading engines. We discuss the model concepts and their implementation in TensorFlow.
