If you are looking to trade based on the sentiments and opinions expressed in the news headline through cutting edge natural language processing techniques, this is the right course for you. Learn to quantify the news headline and add an edge to your trading using powerful models such as Word2Vec, BERT and XGBoost.

• Train a machine learning model to calculate a sentiment from a news headline
• Implement and compare the word embeddings methods such as Bag of Words (BoW), TF-IDF, Word2Vec and BERT
• Predict the stock returns and bond returns from the news headlines
• Describe the applications of natural language processing
• Automate and paper trade the strategies covered in the course
• Fetch the recent news headline data
• Implement strategies in the live markets and analyze the performance
