RNN with Particle Flow for Probabilistic Spatio-temporal Forecasting
Pal, Soumyasundar, Ma, Liheng, Zhang, Yingxue, Coates, Mark
Spatio-temporal forecasting has numerous applications in analyzing wireless, traffic, and financial networks. Many classical statistical models often fall short in handling the complexity and high non-linearity present in time-series data. Recent advances in deep learning allow for better modelling of spatial and temporal dependencies. While most of these models focus on obtaining accurate point forecasts, they do not characterize the prediction uncertainty. In this work, we consider the time-series data as a random realization from a nonlinear state-space model and target Bayesian inference of the hidden states for probabilistic forecasting. We use particle flow as the tool for approximating the posterior distribution of the states, as it is shown to be highly effective in complex, high-dimensional settings. Thorough experimentation on several real world time-series datasets demonstrates that our approach provides better characterization of uncertainty while maintaining comparable accuracy to the state-of-the art point forecasting methods.

Python and Machine Learning for Asset Management
About this Course 18,922 recent views This course will enable you mastering machine-learning approaches in the area of investment management. It has been designed by two thought leaders in their field, Lionel Martellini from EDHEC-Risk Institute and John Mulvey from Princeton University. Starting from the basics, they will help you build practical skills to understand data science so you can make the best portfolio decisions. The course will start with an introduction to the fundamentals of machine learning, followed by an in-depth discussion of the application of these techniques to portfolio management decisions, including the design of more robust factor models, the construction of portfolios with improved diversification benefits, and the implementation of more efficient risk management models. We have designed a 3-step learning process: first, we will introduce a meaningful investment problem and see how this problem can be addressed using statistical techniques.
Penn State accepting applications for first master's in artificial intelligence
Penn State has launched its first degree program in artificial intelligence, a master's degree that is offered online and designed to provide a professional, technical education in developing and deploying AI and machine learning. Penn State is now accepting applications for the Master of Professional Studies in Artificial Intelligence program, which is being offered by the engineering division of the Penn State Great Valley School of Graduate Professional Studies online through Penn State World Campus. The first courses will start in January 2022. Penn State's first academic offering in AI comes at a time of soaring growth in the job market and of increasing presence of AI in everyday products and services, said Colin Neill, a professor of software and systems engineering who is the director of the new program. The World Economic Forum estimates that AI will lead to the creation of 97 million new jobs by 2025.

The Reskilling Revolution in the Artificial Intelligence Era: The Case for Digital Upskilling
South Eastern Regional College (@S_ERC) is hosting an online international conference to highlight the need for businesses to identify employee digital skills gaps and provide relevant digital skills training for employees in preparation for the move to Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology within the work environment. The Reskilling Revolution in the Artificial Intelligence Era: The Case for Digital Upskilling is online 10am – 1.00pm GMT, Thursday 17 June. However, more and more businesses are also reaping the benefits of AI whether that's a small business replacing paper-based processes with digital, using drones, virtual reality or augmented reality or a total transformational change. The impact for employees could be devastating, with concerns over job role and security, but by providing relevant digital upskilling training, employers can retain valuable employees minimising uncertainty and job losses." Speakers will include leading experts from the field of Artificial Intelligence who will share their knowledge and expertise.
