Open Source Generative AI

On over 800 pages, this revised and expanded 2nd edition demonstrates how ML can add value to algorithmic trading through a broad range of applications. Organized in four parts and 24 chapters, it covers the end-to-end workflow from data sourcing and model development to strategy backtesting and evaluation. Covers key aspects of data sourcing, financial feature engineering, and portfolio management. The design and evaluation of long-short strategies based on a broad range of ML algorithms, how to extract tradeable signals from financial text data like SEC filings, earnings call transcripts or financial news. Using deep learning models like CNN and RNN with financial and alternative data, and how to generate synthetic data with Generative Adversarial Networks, as well as training a trading agent using deep reinforcement learning.

Initially, this project started as the 4th edition of Python Machine Learning. However, after putting so much passion and hard work into the changes and new topics, we thought it deserved a new title. So, what’s new? There are many contents and additions, including the switch from TensorFlow to PyTorch, new chapters on graph neural networks and transformers, a new section on gradient boosting, and many more that I will detail in a separate blog post. For those who are interested in knowing what this book covers in general, I’d describe it as a comprehensive resource on the fundamental concepts of machine learning and deep learning. The first half of the book introduces readers to machine learning using scikit-learn, the defacto approach for working with tabular datasets. Then, the second half of this book focuses on deep learning, including applications to natural language processing and computer vision.

An open-source convolutional neural networks platform for medical image analysis and image-guided therapy. NiftyNet is a TensorFlow-based open-source convolutional neural networks (CNNs) platform for research in medical image analysis and image-guided therapy. NiftyNet’s modular structure is designed for sharing networks and pre-trained models. Using this modular structure you can get started with established pre-trained networks using built-in tools. Adapt existing networks to your imaging data. Quickly build new solutions to your own image analysis problems. NiftyNet currently supports medical image segmentation and generative adversarial networks. NiftyNet is not intended for clinical use.
