Hi all, Id like to know whether Statistical learning techniques are actually used by the IBs and hedge funds in their work? and also do they recruit EE/CS PhDs who have done their thesis in pattern recognition/ learning? I did see a few job ads, but i also read that some of the ads are fake etc, so would like to hear from the quants themselves thankspgeek

Yes, IBs and hedge funds use machine learning, but under different names like regression, classification, time series forecasting etc. I guess you can put them under computational statistics.
