内容摘要：

Quantitative investment leverages mathematical and statistical models for decision-making in the realm of finance. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have profoundly reshaped the landscape of finance and investment. The rise of quantitative investment has garnered considerable attention from investors and has become an integral component of many financial investment systems. This presentation aims to introduce the fundamental concepts and methodologies of AI and ML, exploring their applications in quantitative investment. I will present the comprehensive workflow of developing a deep learning-based trading system for stock prediction, discussing performance evaluation metrics and limitations. The talk will delve into the opportunities and challenges inherent in quantitative investment, providing insights into the evolving dynamics of this sophisticated approach to financial decision-making.
