Deep Learning in Finance
We explore the use of deep learning hierarchical models for problems in nancial prediction and classication. Financial prediction problems such as those presented in designing and pricing securities, constructing portfolios, and risk management often involve large data sets with complex data interactions that currently are dicult or impossible to specify in a full economic model. Applying deep learning methods to these problems can produce more useful results than standard methods in nance. In particular, deep learning can detect and exploit interactions in the data that are, at least currently, invisible to any existing nancial economic theory.
