Machine learning for financial engineering
This volume investigates algorithmic methods based on machine learning in order to design sequential investment strategies for financial markets. Such sequential investment strategies use information collected from the market's past and determine, at the beginning of a trading period, a portfolio; that is, a way to invest the currently available capital among the assets that are available for purchase or investment.

Financial Signal Processing and Machine Learning
The modern financial industry has been required to deal with large and diverse portfolios in a variety of asset classes often with limited market data available. <i>Financial Signal Processing and Machine Learning</i> unifies a number of recent advances made in signal processing and machine learning for the design and management of investment portfolios and financial engineering. This book bridges the gap between these disciplines, offering the latest information on key topics including characterizing statistical dependence and correlation in high dimensions, constructing effective and robust risk measures, and their use in portfolio optimization and rebalancing. The book focuses on signal processing approaches to model return, momentum, and mean reversion, addressing theoretical and implementation aspects. It highlights the connections between portfolio theory, sparse learning and compressed sensing, sparse eigen-portfolios, robust optimization, non-Gaussian data-driven risk measures, graphical models, causal analysis through temporal-causal modeling, and large-scale copula-based approaches. <p>Key features:</p> <ul> <li>Highlights signal processing and machine learning as key approaches to quantitative finance.</li> <li>Offers advanced mathematical tools for high-dimensional portfolio construction, monitoring, and post-trade analysis problems.</li> <li>Presents portfolio theory, sparse learning and compressed sensing, sparsity methods for investment portfolios. including eigen-portfolios, model return, momentum, mean reversion and non-Gaussian data-driven risk measures with real-world applications of these techniques.</li> <li>Includes contributions from leading researchers and practitioners in both the signal and information processing communities, and the quantitative finance community.</li> </ul>

Enabling the internet of value : how blockchain connects global businesses
This book shows how blockchain technology can transform the Internet, connecting global businesses in disruptive ways. It offers a comprehensive and multi-faceted examination of the potential of distributed ledger technology (DLT) from a new perspective: as an enabler of the Internet of Value (IoV). The authors discuss applications of blockchain technology to the financial services domain, e.g. in real estate, insurance and the emerging Decentralised Finance (DeFi) movement. They also cover applications to the media and e-commerce domains. DLTs impacts on the circular economy, marketplace, Internet of Things (IoT) and oracle business models are also investigated. In closing, the book provides outlooks on the evolution of DLT, as well as the systemic governance and privacy risks of the IoV. The book is intended for a broad readership, including students, researchers and industry practitioners.

Big data in healthcare: management, analysis and future prospects
‘Big data’ is massive amounts of information that can work wonders. It has become a topic of special interest for the past two decades because of a great potential that is hidden in it. Various public and private sector industries generate, store, and analyze big data with an aim to improve the services they provide. In the healthcare industry, various sources for big data include hospital records, medical records of patients, results of medical examinations, and devices that are a part of internet of things. Biomedical research also generates a significant portion of big data relevant to public healthcare. This data requires proper management and analysis in order to derive meaningful information. Otherwise, seeking solution by analyzing big data quickly becomes comparable to finding a needle in the haystack. There are various challenges associated with each step of handling big data which can only be surpassed by using high-end computing solutions for big data analysis. That is why, to provide relevant solutions for improving public health, healthcare providers are required to be fully equipped with appropriate infrastructure to systematically generate and analyze big data. An efficient management, analysis, and interpretation of big data can change the game by opening new avenues for modern healthcare. That is exactly why various industries, including the healthcare industry, are taking vigorous steps to convert this potential into better services and financial advantages. With a strong integration of biomedical and healthcare data, modern healthcare organizations can possibly revolutionize the medical therapies and personalized medicine.

Natural language based financial forecasting: a survey
Natural language processing (NLP), or the pragmatic research perspective of computational linguistics, has become increasingly powerful due to data availability and various techniques developed in the past decade. This increasing capability makes it possible to capture sentiments more accurately and semantics in a more nuanced way. Naturally, many applications are starting to seek improvements by adopting cutting-edge NLP techniques. Financial forecasting is no exception. As a result, articles that leverage NLP techniques to predict financial markets are fast accumulating, gradually establishing the research field of natural language based financial forecasting (NLFF), or from the application perspective, stock market prediction. This review article clarifies the scope of NLFF research by ordering and structuring techniques and applications from related work. The survey also aims to increase the understanding of progress and hotspots in NLFF, and bring about discussions across many different disciplines.

Engineering Sustainable Data Architectures for Modern Financial Institutions
Modern financial institutions now manage increasingly advanced data-related activities and place a growing emphasis on environmental and energy impacts. In financial modeling, relational databases, big data systems, and the cloud are integrated, taking into consideration resource optimization and sustainable computing. We suggest a four-layer architecture to address financial data processing issues. The layers of our design are for data sources, data integration, processing, and storage. Data ingestion processes market feeds, transaction records, and customer data. Real-time data are captured by Kafka and transformed by Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) pipelines. The processing layer is composed of Apache Spark for real-time data analysis, Hadoop for batch processing, and an Machine Learning (ML) infrastructure that supports predictive modeling. In order to optimize access patterns, the storage layer includes various data layer components. The test results indicate that the processing of market data in real-time, compliance reporting, risk evaluations, and customer analyses can be conducted in fulfillment of environmental sustainability goals. The metrics from the test deployment support the implementation strategies and technical specifications of the architectural components. We also looked at integration models and data flow improvements, with applications in finance. This study aims to enhance enterprise data architecture in the financial context and includes guidance on modernizing data infrastructure.
