Overview

The course aims at helping students to be able to solve practical ML-amenable problems that they may encounter in real life that include: (1) understanding where the problem one faces lands on a general landscape of available ML methods, (2) understanding which particular ML approach(es) would be most appropriate for resolving the problem, and (3) ability to successfully implement a solution, and assess its performance. A learner with some or no previous knowledge of Machine Learning (ML) wil

Great course which covers both theories as well as practical skills in the real implementations in the financial world.

So far so good. The lecturer refers to projects of which some weren't covered in this course. So a little confusing. Takes lots of googling to finish this course.

Furthered my understanding of how probabilistic models are connected to Machine Learning models. Very happy with the content in this course.

This is a great course, I strongly recommend. However, the assignments take a while to finish.

I liked the course, but the bugs in the programming assignments are sometimes unbearable.
