Course Syllabus
Abstract
Big Data and Machine Learning (M.Sc. level) is an advanced elective course designed for masters students at ICEF. The course is open to all second year M.Sc. students. Knowledge of the Python programming language is strongly advised but not required. Students without Python knowledge will be expected to exert additional effort during the first few weeks of the course to catch up. The course is taught in English. The course has three broad sections: I. Building skills using Python libraries to solve common problems in the analysis of financial data. II. Designing and implementing interpretable machine learning models. III. Getting acquainted with deep learning principles and applications, including large language models.
