Welcome welcome, how amazing to meet with you all again. Hope you’re all doing very well! I can’t believe January is almost finished! It’s been such a month with good changes, at least from my side.

Algorithmic Trading with Economics Driven Deep Learning // towards data science.

Lately, I’ve been quite interested in ML applications in Finance and Economics. This article dives into the Multi-Graph Tensor Network model and actually explains the technical background and the development very nicely. You can check the article here if you’d like to see how the model is developed.

Last week I purchased this Udemy course on R and I’ve been really enjoying it. The content is not overwhelming and everything is explained in a very clear way. I watch the lessons x1.5 speed, I find it way easier to focus, more efficient. So far I went through over 30 lectures out of 88 and I can already feel that I have a better understanding of the fundamentals of R. Solving the homework at the end of each section and seeing what I can implement is really great.

Besides these, I’ve been reading about Explanatory Data Analysis. So far I don’t have many resources to share but I hope to gather enough information to collect them in one article.

Reflection on this week

As one responsibility is completed, the other ones start. Just as finished all my exams, I learned that I need to finish a project (that I don’t have much technical knowledge about) in 3 days. Even though this makes me slightly anxious, I know that I can benefit from it by learning many new things in a short period.

What I’m planning to do next week?

I will go through at least 25 more tutorials from R, with that I’ll be 2/3 done with the program I purchased.

I will continue on Phyton masterclass. I will go through at least 1 video a day.

Lastly, I’d like to read more scientific papers. It’s not the easiest thing to read and digest but I believe in the value they provide for me.

Stay safe until the next one!
