三、核心课程及简介
1)New Materials Design & Machine Learning
Course Description:
Computational Materials Science involves and enables the visualization of concepts and materials processes which are otherwise difficult to describe or even imagine. Among other things, this field of allows materials to be designed and tested efficiently.
Computational and analytical techniques are necessary for materials science and engineering topics, such as material structure, symmetry, and thermodynamics, materials response to applied fields, mechanics and physics of solids and soft materials. Presents mathematical concepts and materials-related problem-solving skills alongside symbolic programming techniques. Symbolic algebraic computational methods, programming, and visualization techniques; topics include linear algebra, quadratic forms, tensor operations, symmetry operations, calculus of several variables, eigensystems, systems of ordinary and partial differential equations, beam theory, resonance phenomena, special functions, numerical solutions, statistical analysis, Fourier analysis, and random walks.
Academic Syllabus:
The course begins with basic reviews of the foundations of Computational Materials Science before moving on to a more rigorous development of the theories and methodologies that underlie this novel field. Students will also have the chance to explore the applications of the theoretical portions of the program through lectures and site-visit opportunities.
Academic Module:
Module 1: Introduction of New Materials
Module 2: Advanced Machine Learning for Materials Science
Module 3: New Materials Intelligence
Module 4: Computer-driven design of molecular materials
2)MIT Artificial Intelligence for Financial Engineering
Course Description:
In order to compete in the rapidly developing financial sector, it is becoming increasingly necessary to make use of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence technologies to analyze massive amounts of data and predict trends.
Financial Engineering is a multidisciplinary field drawing from finance and economics, mathematics, statistics, engineering and computational methods. Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence play a significant role in the creation of models and trading ideas from Renaissance and similar funds.
The main goal of this program is to provide the knowledge and practical skills necessary to develop a strong foundation on core paradigms and algorithms of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, with a particular focus on applications of Machine Learning to various practical problems in Finance.
Students will learn the foundational methods in this field of study as well as have extensive opportunities to understand its implementation in real financial contexts.
Academic Syllabus:
With a focus on the organizational and managerial implications of these technologies, rather than on their technical aspects, this course will arm students with the knowledge and confidence students need to pioneer its successful integration in finance. The emphasis of this program will be on the use of simple stochastic models to price derivative securities in various asset classes including equities, fixed income, credit and mortgage-backed securities. This program will also consider the role that some of these asset classes played during the financial crisis.
Methodologies in artificial intelligence and data analysis will be introduced, after which students will gain an in-depth understanding through studies of applications of these technologies in innovative workshops and company visits.
Academic Module:
Module 1: Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Finance
Artificial intelligence in finance is transforming the way we interact with money. AI is helping the financial industry to streamline and optimize processes ranging from credit decisions to quantitative trading and financial risk management.
Module 2: Financial Engineering and Arbitrage-based Pricing Models
The objective of the module is to introduce students to the modern framework for pricing of financial securities, including fixed income assets and derivatives. We cover the fundamental valuation concepts, pricing models, and methodological tools and applications.
Module 3: Financial Engineering and Risk Management
Financial Engineering is a multidisciplinary field drawing from finance and economics, mathematics, statistics, engineering and computational methods. The emphasis of FE & RM Part I will be on the use of simple stochastic models to price derivative securities in various asset classes including equities, fixed income, credit and mortgage-backed securities. We will also consider the role that some of these asset classes played during the financial crisis.
