Machine Learning & AI in Finance Machine Learning & AI in Finance

The Tech Finance Executive Certificate is a cutting-edge program designed for those looking to explore finance through artificial intelligence and machine learning. In today’s fast-changing business environment, understanding finance and mastering AI methods is essential, especially with Article 4 of the EU AI Act mandating proper training for those working with AI systems. This program offers a solid foundation in AI, focusing on Machine Learning (ML) and Large Language Models (LLMs). Participants learn key techniques such as regression, classification, and neural networks, applied to challenges like stock prediction, credit scoring, and fraud detection. Insights from experts ensure a deep understanding of transformative technologies. Finance applications offer two key benefits: ML methods often need to be interpretable to meet regulatory demands, and they must handle the complexity of financial markets effectively. The program also covers RegTech (regulation and compliance) and FinTech (blockchain and cryptocurrencies), providing a comprehensive view of finance’s future.

Learning methods & evaluations

Learning methods: Most courses in the TechFin program are delivered by alternating between lectures, case studies, exercises, simulations, applications, group work, and in-class presentations. Most courses require preparation before class: reading case studies or articles, answering preparatory questions, or solving a pre-class assignment. In the second module of the program (Applications), participants work in groups on problem solving that involve Python programming on Google’s Colab platform. These problems give participants the opportunity to get hands-on experience with problem solving and applying what they have learned during the previous courses on a group project. 

Evaluations: Participants are evaluated along multiple dimensions: group work write-ups or presentations on projects or case studies, quizzes, in-class or take-home exercises, multiple-choice questionnaires, final exams, post-class analyses, and class participation. The weights instructors choose among all these dimensions vary with each class.
