Description:

Deep learning is best suited for sequential problems and financial time series being sequential in nature, deep learning shows promising results in financial time series prediction. This workshop will focus on the application of neural networks in finance and help you to get started on Deep Learning by applying the concepts to a real-world example.

The workshop will demystify the concepts by explaining the basic building blocks of neural networks and will introduce you to the popular Keras API framework. We will then see a real-world example of how this framework can be used in predicting stock prices using an LSTM model.

In the past few years, a lot of academic papers were published using neural networks to predict stock prices. Until recently, the ability to predict these models were restricted to academics. But, with libraries like Tensorflow and Keras, we can now build powerful predictive models.

The session will focus on the following agenda

  • Evaluation of Artificial Intelligence
  • Deep Neural Network framework
  • Building Blocks of Deep Learning
  • Overview of LSTM model
  • Introduction to TensorFlow, Keras
  • Data Retrieval and Preprocessing
  • Building an LSTM Model for stock price prediction

Setup for the workshop

  • Working Python environment (using anaconda distribution)
  • Installation of TensorFlow, Keras libraries

What will you gain from this workshop

  • Application of deep neural networks in finance
  • Hands-on experience in building LSTM model for price prediction

Prerequisites:

  • Python basics
    • Understanding of Machine / Deep Learning
    • Working Python environment (using anaconda distribution)
    • Installation of TensorFlow, Keras libraries
