Machine Learning in Finance
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-41070-4 (ISBN)
This book introduces machine learning methods in finance. It presents a unified treatment of machine learning and various statistical and computational disciplines in quantitative finance, such as financial econometrics and discrete time stochastic control, with an emphasis on how theory and hypothesis tests inform the choice of algorithm for financial data modeling and decision making. With the trend towards increasing computational resources and larger datasets, machine learning has grown into an important skillset for the finance industry. This book is written for advanced graduate students and academics in financial econometrics, mathematical finance and applied statistics, in addition to quants and data scientists in the field of quantitative finance.
Machine Learning in Finance: From Theory to Practice is divided into three parts, each part covering theory and applications. The first presents supervised learning for cross-sectional data from both a Bayesianand frequentist perspective. The more advanced material places a firm emphasis on neural networks, including deep learning, as well as Gaussian processes, with examples in investment management and derivative modeling. The second part presents supervised learning for time series data, arguably the most common data type used in finance with examples in trading, stochastic volatility and fixed income modeling. Finally, the third part presents reinforcement learning and its applications in trading, investment and wealth management. Python code examples are provided to support the readers' understanding of the methodologies and applications. The book also includes more than 80 mathematical and programming exercises, with worked solutions available to instructors. As a bridge to research in this emergent field, the final chapter presents the frontiers of machine learning in finance from a researcher's perspective, highlighting how many well-known concepts in statistical physics are likelyto emerge as important methodologies for machine learning in finance.

"This book is, however, a well-structured and self-contained graduate textbook on ML applications in finance. Exercises and some applications are included at the end of each chapter and the Python code used in this book makes use of the Python Tensor Flow library. This book could also serve as a useful reference book for researchers and practitioners in quantitative finance." (Gilles Teyssière, Mathematical Reviews, February, 2023)
"Each part is introduced with background information, examples of relevant practical applications, and references to the most recent scientific literature. ... The book covers all essential areas of machine learning with relevance to quantitative finance. ... An additional strong advantage of this book is the clear and consistent structure of its chapters. ... Overall, the book covers multiple machine learning approaches with advanced technical exposition and is therefore especially suitable as an academic reference point, especially on Reinforcement Learning." (Antoniya Shivarova, Financial Markets and Portfolio Management, Issue 35, 2021)
"This volume aims to present a broad yet technical treatment of (ML) algorithms used by financial practitioners and scholars alike. ... the book fills a large void. ... This encourages reproducibility as well as learning by doing, which is highly appreciated." (Guillaume Coqueret, Quantitative Finance, October 15, 2020)
