TOP REVIEWS FROM GUIDED TOUR OF MACHINE LEARNING IN FINANCE
Great overview. Please provide more code examples as homework require a lot more than what the class covers!
Introduction of ML for Financial application with combination of Scikit learn, Statsmodels and Tensorflow with neuralnets made this class very interesting. Learned and Enjoyed lot.
Leans heavily on explaining differences between tech and finance applications of ML, but still great!
This will be a 5 star course when all of the technical issues are resolved. More timely feedback from the staff is desirable as well.
