課程簡介
金融科技(Financial Technology, FinTech)是目前全球金融業與科技業的焦點,它所引發的破壞式創新,正挑戰既有金融服務的供給方式和消費行為。本課程由資工、數學教授群共同開設,旨在釐清 FinTech 本質、相關的創新科技、以及關鍵的趨勢。同時我們也會在課程當中邀請相關學者專家進行演講,並在金融機構(或金融科技新創公司)的協助之下完成期末的AI程式競賽。歡迎想參與或是有志於跨金融與科技領域的同學們,來共同一窺金融科技殿堂之美。
課程目標
- 瞭解與 FinTech 相關的概念與理論
- 實做與 FinTech 相關的專題與系統
上課時間地點
上課方式及先備知識
- 上課方式:以翻轉教學為止,學生在上課前必須看完 pre-class reading,老師在上課時只負責回答學生問題,或是提供補充教材或習題。
- 先備知識
- Calculus, Linear Algebra, Probability
- Machine Learning:你必須知道如何以程式碼來實做基本機器學習的任務
- Python programming: 本課程以方法論為主,不會實際教授程式語言,但會提供相關線上教材讓同學自行學習
教師分工
- 張智星:
基礎數學、技術指標、資產配置最佳化、量化交易、文件檢索、機器學習在金融科技的應用
- 陳君明︰
區塊鏈 (Block Chain) 原理及應用、比特幣 (Bitcoin) 與其他密碼貨幣 (Cryptocurrency)、密碼學背景知識
評分標準
- Percentages
- Homework: ~30%
- Term project: ~35%
- Final exam: ~35%
- Grade computation
- Raw score computation in double precision ==> Rounding to nearest integers ==> Final letter grades
- Final grades are based on scores and ranking. The instructors reserve the rights to
- Adjust percentage of each categories if necessary
- Determine the way to combine scores and ranking
- No-change policy: We will not change the final grades once they are sent to the academic affairs office, unless it is due to mistakes on our part.
- Grade statistics: Usually we have 25% of A+ and A
