Machine learning is an important branch of Artificial intelligence which includes designing and construction of algorithms. It allows computers to behave in a way based on the empirical dat. It automatically trains the system for pattern recognition which helps in decision making based on input...

In this work, we apply cutting edge machine learning algorithms to one of the oldest challenges in finance: Predicting returns. For the sake of simplicity, we focus on predicting the direction (e.g. either up or down) of several liquid ETFs and do not attempt to predict the magnitude of price...

Machine Learning algorithms are becoming widely deployed in real world decision-making. Ensuring fairness in algorithmic decision-making is a crucial policy issue. Current legislation ensures fairness by barring algorithm designers from using demographic information in their decision-making. As...
