The complete and practical guide to one of the hottest topics in quantitative finance

Deep learning, that is, the use of deep neural networks, is now one of the hottest topics amongst quantitative analysts. Deep Learning in Quantitative Finance provides a comprehensive treatment of deep learning and describes a wide range of applications in mainstream quantitative finance. Inside, you’ll find over ten chapters which apply deep learning to multiple use cases across quantitative finance. You’ll also gain access to a companion site containing a set of Jupyter notebooks, developed by the author, that use Python to illustrate the examples in the text. Readers will be able to work through these examples directly.

This book is a complete resource on how deep learning is used in quantitative finance applications. It introduces the basics of neural networks, including feedforward networks, optimization, and training, before proceeding to cover more advanced topics. You’ll also learn about the most important software frameworks. The book then proceeds to cover the very latest deep learning research in quantitative finance, including approximating derivative values, volatility models, credit curve mapping, generating realistic market data, and hedging. The book concludes with a look at the potential for quantum deep learning and the broader implications deep learning has for quantitative finance and quantitative analysts.
