Deep reinforcement learning and algorithmic risks in finance

Marcello Paris - Head of Math & IT research, R&D Dept. UniCredit

Abstract

Reinforcement learning, particularly if enhanced by deep networks, is now more than ever mainstream research. I will go through a very basic overview of reinforcement learning, to focus on financial applications and eventually discuss the concept of algorithmic risk.
