Course Objective: 

Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on enabling computers to learn from data and improve their performance on tasks without being explicitly programmed for each specific task. The world is seeing its application in almost all the arenas of industry and academia. Financial Economics which deals with the perfect blend of both industry-academia interface cannot stay far behind in this. Machine learning (ML) in financial economics is important because it offers advanced tools to model, analyse, and predict complex financial behaviours and market dynamics that traditional methods often struggle to capture. Its use can be extensive in the fields of Improved Prediction Accuracy, Big Data Utilization, Risk Management and Fraud Detection, Algorithmic and High-Frequency Trading, Behavioural Insights and Market Sentiment, Personalized Financial Services and the list goes on. It is due to this the application of Machine Learning in Financial Economics has become the need of the hour. Presidency University, through a workshop, conducted exclusively to learn the techniques of Machine Learning in Financial Economics, will try to understand the mechanism of various tools used in this field of study.
