Machine Learning and Data Sciences for Financial Markets Summary

Machine Learning and Data Sciences for Financial Markets: A Guide to Contemporary Practices by Agostino Capponi (Columbia University, New York)

Leveraging the research efforts of more than sixty experts in the area, this book reviews cutting-edge practices in machine learning for financial markets. Instead of seeing machine learning as a new field, the authors explore the connection between knowledge developed by quantitative finance over the past forty years and techniques generated by the current revolution driven by data sciences and artificial intelligence. The text is structured around three main areas: 'Interactions with investors and asset owners,' which covers robo-advisors and price formation; 'Risk intermediation,' which discusses derivative hedging, portfolio construction, and machine learning for dynamic optimization; and 'Connections with the real economy,' which explores nowcasting, alternative data, and ethics of algorithms. Accessible to a wide audience, this invaluable resource will allow practitioners to include machine learning driven techniques in their day-to-day quantitative practices, while students will build intuition and come to appreciate the technical tools and motivation for the theory.

Machine Learning and Data Sciences for Financial Markets Reviews

'Agostino Capponi and Charles-Albert Lehalle have edited an excellent book tackling the most important topics associated with the application of machine learning and data science techniques to the challenging field of finance, including robo-advisory, high-frequency trading, nowcasting, and alternative data. I highly recommend this book to any reader interested in our field, regardless of experience or background.' Marcos Lopez de Prado, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority & Cornell University
'Beginning with the 1973 publication of the Black-Scholes formula, mathematical models coupled with computing revolutionized finance. We are now witnessing a second revolution as larger-scale computing makes data science and machine learning methods feasible. This book demonstrates that the second revolution is not a departure from, but rather a continuation of, the first revolution. It will be essential reading for researchers in quantitative finance, whether they were participants in the first revolution or are only now joining the fray.' Steven E. Shreve, Carnegie Mellon University
'Machine Learning and Data Sciences for Financial Markets: A Guide to Contemporary Practices' comes at a critical time in the financial markets. The amount of machine readable data available to practitioners, the power of the statistical models they can build, and the computational power available to train them keeps growing exponentially. AI and machine learning are increasingly embedded into every aspect of the investing process. The common curriculum, however, both in finance and in applications of machine learning, lags behind. This book provides an excellent and very thorough overview of the state of the art in the field, with contributions by key researchers and practitioners. The monumental work done by the editors and reviewers shows in the wide diversity of current topics covered - from deep learning for solving partial differential equations to transformative breakthroughs in NLP. This book, which I cannot recommend highly enough, will be useful to any practitioner or student who wishes to familiarize themselves with the current state of the art and build their careers and research on a solid foundation.' Gary Kazantsev, Bloomberg and Columbia University
