Charles-Albert Lehalle and Agostino Capponi (editors) have sent earlier this week to Cambridge University Press the manuscript of Machine Learning And Data Sciences For Financial Markets: A Guide To Contemporary Practices. The book should be available in min-2022.
It includes 800 pages by 60 contributors on how to use machine learning (ML) either to improve the quality of the service, the risk management, or the link with the real economy in Financial Markets.
The editors wanted to show the continuity between quantitative finance and machine learning in this field because leveraging on existing scientific progress is far better than restarting from scratch a data only-driven approach.
The contents of the book are as follows:
