Congratulations for this. It looks awesome. There is not a lot of material available on the topics you will be covering AFAIK.

Yes, a lot of material we have is from original research! The main research focus in ML right now is on images, video and text, not much on finance indeed, and it has great potentials to improve models.

It's been relabeled, look for "Place Order"!

Any online version for an interested trader who is 9,000 km away from London?

That's indeed far away!
We have no concrete plans for an online version any time soon.

What a great idea for a course.

There's tonnes of interest in AI right now (https://www.theguardian.com/science/201 ... scientists)

And the course filled up very rapidly! We didn't even get to charge the full price, all places went during the Earlybird phase!

We will repeat the course 22 Feb.

One of the best/most joyful phases leading to this was us doing the Kaggle competitions. It was so much fun doing all the pondering with you! I miss that, hopefully some day we get the time again.

Me too!

AI in all it's big-data, neural networks, machine learning, signal processing, autonomous vehicle forms is generating a lot possible "ponders."

The students in your class will also have many interesting possible applications for ML/NN in finance and related industries.

Have fun!

What did you cover? Was it 101 stuff or did you cover some applied finance research?

In the Kaggle competitions with t4a, ..or in the course?
At kaggle we looked at dark matter detection, medicines / molecules activity, large scale weird traveling salesman,  finding causality in data ( != correlation),.. very diverse and a lot of fun!
The course is sold out but hasn't taken place yet (end of Nov and a new on in Feb). The topics are on the page linked in the first post: the focus will be on modelling behavior of timeseries, curves but also on other topics. and there is indeed quite a bit a research we put in: mainly on the applied side and on the logic behind modelling: measuring things, managing model risk.

Hello, I'm after the detailed agenda of this event (Nov.30 and Feb.22, 2 dates same agenda?).
The link at the top of this page is broken. That other link on LI isn't so relevant.
Can anyone help, please? Merci.
