Topic

Financial Loan Risk Analysis Using Keras Deep Learning

Abstract

Can we use AI/Deep Learning to predict if a loan will be repaid?  Spoiler alert: yes.  In this session we'll examine some of the current tools for doing deep-learning.  We joke that 80%+ of machine learning is data preparation.  This would be a joke except that it is true. After preparing a dataset we'll run a few different techniques to see which provides the best predictive model.  Rest assured, if we predict a loan will fail, no cars or homes will be repossessed base on our machine learning algorithms.
