Artificial Intelligence for Trading

#artificialintelligence

Demand for quantitative talent is growing at incredible rates. Data-driven traders are now responsible for more than 30% of all US stock trades by investors (or about $1 trillion USD worth of investments, up from 14% in 2013). This scenario represents incredible opportunity for individuals eager to apply cutting-edge technologies to trading and finance. Whether you want to pursue a new job in finance, launch yourself on the path to a quant trading career, or master the latest AI applications in trading and quantitative finance, this program will give you the opportunity to build an impressive portfolio of real-world projects. You will build financial models on real data, and work on your own trading strategies using natural language processing, recurrent neural networks, and random forests.


Sharper bounds for online learning of smooth functions of a single variable

arXiv.org Machine Learning

We investigate the generalization of the mistake-bound model to continuous real-valued single variable functions. Let $\mathcal{F}_q$ be the class of absolutely continuous functions $f: [0, 1] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ with $||f'||_q \le 1$, and define $opt_p(\mathcal{F}_q)$ as the best possible bound on the worst-case sum of the $p^{th}$ powers of the absolute prediction errors over any number of trials. Kimber and Long (Theoretical Computer Science, 1995) proved for $q \ge 2$ that $opt_p(\mathcal{F}_q) = 1$ when $p \ge 2$ and $opt_p(\mathcal{F}_q) = \infty$ when $p = 1$. For $1 < p < 2$ with $p = 1+\epsilon$, the only known bound was $opt_p(\mathcal{F}_{q}) = O(\epsilon^{-1})$ from the same paper. We show for all $\epsilon \in (0, 1)$ and $q \ge 2$ that $opt_{1+\epsilon}(\mathcal{F}_q) = \Theta(\epsilon^{-\frac{1}{2}})$, where the constants in the bound do not depend on $q$. We also show that $opt_{1+\epsilon}(\mathcal{F}_{\infty}) = \Theta(\epsilon^{-\frac{1}{2}})$.


Become a Sensor Fusion Engineer

#artificialintelligence

Learn to detect obstacles in lidar point clouds through clustering and segmentation, apply thresholds and filters to radar data in order to accurately track objects, and augment your perception by projecting camera images into three dimensions and fusing these projections with other sensor data. Combine this sensor data with Kalman filters to perceive the world around a vehicle and track objects over time. Learn to fuse data from three of the primary sensors that robots use: lidar, camera, and radar.

Human-compatible AI becomes key to happiness

#artificialintelligence

The expansion of e-commerce, distance learning in education and remote work as well as health care services during the pandemic prompted the greater use of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud technology in order to cope with big data. AI and cloud solutions are on the rise in every field, from production to marketing. These, as well as the priorities of the business world, were the matters addressed this week at the Ventures60 event. The big data occupation has been generally translated into more overtime and more boring work. Yet, many institutions are now opting for cloud technology and artificial intelligence to protect themselves from the big data drain.


Udacity and AWS collaborate to offer more free courses in Machine Learning - CRN - India

#artificialintelligence

Udacity, an online learning platform powering the careers of the future, has announced the creation of the AWS Machine Learning Scholarship Program in conjunction with Amazon Web Services (AWS). The goal for this program is to remove barriers to skills training in machine learning and to cultivate the next generation of Machine Learning (ML) leaders from underrepresented backgrounds, including Women, Black, Latinx, Indigenous and People of Color. Enrollment in the free AWS Machine Learning Foundations course begins today. "AWS strives to help level the playing field for women and people of color, who have been underrepresented in the tech industry for far too long. We are thrilled to collaborate with Udacity to make this sort of technical training more widely available and accessible. We look forward to seeing the incredible innovations in machine learning that are sure to come from this initiative," said Ladavia Drane, Global Head, Inclusion, Diversity and Equity, AWS.

5 Online Courses I Took as a Self-Taught Data Scientist

#artificialintelligence

I can't stress this enough: If you haven't already taken a machine learning course, take this one. This is the first online course I ever took, and it's the reason that 746,000 other students and I are in data science today. The course was created by data scientist Kirill Eremenko. What's better than his soothing voice is the actual material. Kirill teaches you all the knowledge you need to have a basic understanding of some of the most powerful and useful machine learning models. This includes models in regression, classification, clustering, reinforcement learning, natural language processing, and deep learning.
