Machine Learning for Financial Risk Management with Python: Algorithms for Modeling Risk

Financial risk management is quickly evolving with the help of artificial intelligence. With this practical book, developers, programmers, engineers, financial analysts, and risk analysts will explore Python-based machine learning and deep learning models for assessing financial risk. You’ll learn how to compare results from ML models with results obtained by traditional financial risk models.

Author Abdullah Karasan helps you explore the theory behind financial risk assessment before diving into the differences between traditional and ML models.

• Review classical time series applications and compare them with deep learning models
