【簡介】
These lecture notes are thought for Master courses in Finance, Fintech and Quantitative Finance programmes. We fully subscribe to the philosophy that post-graduate students should be offered courses that are really at the cutting edge of the technologies and advances that are disrupting the financial industry and delve deep into topics such as A.I., machine learning, and their importance for Asset Management.In these notes, the illustration of the theory of Finance is paired with practical applications to real-life asset allocation problems. A hands-on approach is proposed to construct and manipulate databases to build portfolios, assess their performance and manage their risk. The course begins with a section on the fundamentals on individual choice to market valuation, covering the traditional Markowitz mean-variance approach, market-based asset pricing and Arbitrage-based pricing theory.Empirical modelling in finance is then introduced by illustrating its working and its historical evolution. The translation of financial theory into action on data is driven by building predictive models for asset prices and returns. Basic models are explored, and programming emerges as an essential prerequisite for data manipulation. Readers can acquaint themselves with the statistical software R and exhibit the application of theoretical concepts to financial data, illustrated by sample programs, exercises, and corresponding solutions.

【簡介】
Creating Transparent AIFrom agriculture to transportation, entertainment to medicine, and banking to social media, artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how humans do practically everything. We experience AI in our daily lives through our fitness trackers, home digital assistant systems, and curated news services, to name a few examples. For talent development, this is no different.The fields of artificial intelligence and talent development have been on a collision course for decades, and their convergence has already occurred. It has just taken many in our profession some time to recognize this fact. On the horizon, AI-powered innovations are transforming the workplace and the role of the talent development professional, affecting recruiting to training to compensation. As such, there are actions TD professionals should take now to prepare ourselves and our organizations for the evolving AI revolution.In AI in Talent Development, Margie Meacham describes the benefits, uses, and risks of AI technology and offers practical tools to strengthen and enhance learning and performance programs. In layman's terms, Meacham demonstrates how we can free time for ourselves by employing a useful robot "assistant," create a chatbot for specific tasks (such as a new manager bot, a sales coach bot, or new employee onboarding bot), and build personalized coaching tools from AI-processed big data. She concludes each of the six chapters with helpful tips and includes a resource guide with planning tools, templates, and worksheets.Meacham dispels fear of AI's black box--the term used to describe its unknowability and opacity--and points out ways AI can help us be better at creativity and critical thinking, what we humans do best.
