Advancements in machine learning (ML) applications have developed significantly in banking, risk management & modelling. During this 4-day, interactive virtual course, explore these advancements and what opportunities and limitations they present for financial institutions.

Subject-matter expert Eric Tham will focus on practical examples and use cases of ML and develop participants knowledge on key topics: unsupervised and supervised learning, alternative data, and explainable AI.

The course will develop participants understanding of the behavioural and quantitative finance applications of ML in finance and the addition of a practical case study on ML use cases will allow participants to apply the theoretical knowledge taught in the course sessions to real world examples.
