Hi Ken Jee. You videos are awesome! Thanks. Can I ask you a question? Do you think it's difficult to get a computer vision job/position having just an MBA in Data Science. I see that a lot of job positions asks for PhD and Research experience. What do you think?

[@grumpyae86]

Thanks Ken, I’m just starting to get into data science after 10 years in finance industry. Your videos and especially this one was very very helpful. Thanks

[@richardsuwandi2723]

Always waiting for new videos in this series. Thanks for emphasizing the importance of domain specialization, Ken! I’ll definitely need to work more on that.

[@KenJee_ds]

Looking forward to seeing you improve in that area Richard!

[@lionkhan2135]

Thanks for the awesome video content like regular, Ken. You've really been starting to upload very frequently about practical data science content, and your subscriber count has become indicative of that. It really helps newbies like me try to get into data science.

[@KenJee_ds]

Thanks for watching like usual! Glad you are continuing to find the content useful!

[@Algovibes]

The code for getting all tickers is very nice! I had to go through this some months ago as well and didn't find helpful resources on that. Additionally the code is understandable commented. Thank you both Ken and Shile for sharing!

[@KenJee_ds]

Thanks for watching!!

[@DataProfessor]

Thanks Ken for another awesome video! Clean and nice looking resume 👍

[@KenJee_ds]

Thanks for watching as usual data prof!

Hi Data professor , what tools and libraries I should use to become a financial data scientist and can you recommend some good resources for learning.

Damn, I got a long way to go before I can start applying. Well done Shile!

[@KenJee_ds]

I think this is an example of a pretty strong one. You can start applying before this state!

[@GOAT352u]

@@KenJee_ds Good that you clarify that, because getting at this level so young looks like he started at 16 or something haha

[@Abdalla-E-Mohamed]

Wow 😳 this is exactly what I needed to see

[@KenJee_ds]

Awesome!

3:10 does coursera courses add up to it?

Here's playlist of workshops from a school club if anyone was interested in catching up to what I know kzbin.info/aero/PLMSih0au9SsDWnhClQbJLIYnJW9rgILfx

Hi Everyone! Let me know if you have any questions.

This is awesome! Thank you Shile!

As a fresher who wants to go into Quant finance / Algorithmic trading. What sort of projects do you recommend ?

[@picklestirfry]

@@randomdude79404 I'd say implement some papers from SSRN or arXiv on finance/trading

[@randomdude79404]

@@picklestirfry thanks bro , could you give your personal telegram ID so we can talk about this ?

I want to do a risk related project but I’m having trouble finding inspiration

[@KenJee_ds]

I think you should try it! This was pretty good inspiration for me!

[@AlexTalksTwo]

What kind of risk would you want to measure? The idea of risk is so incredibly interesting - even just in a philosophical sense. You should go for it.

[@RougeSam]

@@AlexTalksTwo portfolio risk if anything (whether its stocks or bonds is where I start to get indecisive). you guys are definitely right though. I might just make it my next project

[@AlexTalksTwo]

@@RougeSam portfolio risk is definitely an interesting topic. Bonds might be a better place to start. Bond valuation is down to a relative science at this point whereas an assumption you'd have to make with stocks is that they are priced accordingly (according to EMH they are but that's a different debate lol). Then you could carry over the theory you work up on bonds over into stocks. If you are looking at modern portfolio theory, you could get your feet wet with doing some analysis of beta as a metric of market risk and models that use it as an underlying assumption (like CAPM). Not sure how versed you are with alternate portfolio strategies but if you've heard of the Kelly Criterion, that would also be a fun thing to explore as well. I'm sure any of the rabbit holes you find yourself going through will lead to an interesting and fun project.

[@premsaimadani7599]

what are the courses we should do which related to finance and tools we should learn

[@KenJee_ds]

There is one on 365 Data science that I know of. I have a discount code in the description if that is interesting to you

[@brianmartinez5903]

Hello, What is a reputable online certification program for Data Science? Thanks.

[@michaelrobinson8382]

Im interested in this domain. I am considering taking UPenn's Coursera specialization on business foundation which includes some finance courses. They also have one on modeling. Also, I have found a Udemy course on quant finance concepts. Do you think this is a good approach to build my resume along with projects and networking

[@KenJee_ds]

Yep!

[@rehansiddique1875]

Hi Ken , what tools and libraries I should use to become a financial data scientist and can you recommend some good resources for learning.

[@KenJee_ds]

I really don't have that much experience in the finance sector. I'm probably not the best to ask here haha.

[@rehansiddique1875]

@@KenJee_ds is there any other fellow youtuber who can guide me to become a financial data scientist.

[@shilewen6803]

I suggest learning pandas, a lot of data analysis can be done solely on pandas. Going from there, I suggest learning statistical/ML libraries, such as sklearn. Once you have a good foundation, there are specific data science finance libraries, such as mlfinlab

[@dineshlakshmanan7104]

Hey ken! Would you prefer julia over python?

[@KenJee_ds]

I haven't done any work with julia yet. I think python has far more support at this current time

array length 889 does not match index length 418"-i am getting this error while executing the following code in titanic project . I used the same code as @Ken Jee used 'votingclf.fit(xtrainscaled,ytrain) yhatbasevc = votingclf.predict(xtestscaled).astype(int) basicsubmission = {'PassengerId':testdata.PassengerId,'Survived':yhatbasevc} basesubmisson = pd.DataFrame(data=basicsubmission) basesubmisson.tocsv('basesubmisson.csv',index=False)' coe can anyone please help me with that

Please comment this on the titanic video so someone may be able to help you out. I recommend stack overflow though
