The goal of this course is to offer data science and fintech enthusiasts a hand-on practical case study to understand the power of Data Science in Finance. We will be using the Lending club data set to build a credit risk model using machine learning techniques. Python experience is not required to attend the course but useful. We will illustrate how to build applications using Python packages such as scikit-learn, Keras etc. Techniques such as K-means, t-sne, Regression, Random Forest and Neural Networks would be covered.
