- key aspects of data sourcing, financial feature engineering, and portfolio management,
- the design and evaluation of long-short strategies based on a broad range of ML algorithms,
- how to extract tradeable signals from financial text data like SEC filings, earnings call transcripts or financial news,
- using deep learning models like CNN and RNN with financial and alternative data, how to generate synthetic data with GANs, and training a trading agent using deep reinforcement learning.
