Chapter 2, Time Series Analysis, covers time series analysis. This chapter explains time series analysis in detail with examples and explains how the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) concept can be helpful in the implementation of time series analysis.
Chapter 3, Using Features and Reinforcement Learning to Automate Bank Financing, covers reinforcement learning. It also covers different AI modeling techniques using examples, as well as the business functions of the bank in the context of examples.
Chapter 4, Mechanizing Capital Market Decisions, discusses the basic financial and capital market concepts. We will look at how AI can help us optimize the best capital structure by running risk models and generating sales forecasts using macro-economic data. The chapter also covers important machine learning modeling techniques such as learning optimization and linear regression.
Chapter 5, Predicting the Future of Investment Bankers, introduces AI techniques followed by auto-syndication for new issues. We will see how capital can be obtained from interested investors. In the latter section of the chapter, we will cover the case of identifying acquirers and targets—a process that requires science to pick the ones that need banking services.

Chapter 9,Mass Customization of Client Lifetime Wealth, explains how to combine data from the survey for personal data analysis. The chapter also discusses Neo4j, which is a graph database. In this chapter, we will build a chatbot to serve customers 24/7. We will also look at an example entailing the prediction of customer responses using natural language processing, Neo4j, and cipher languages to manipulate data from the Neo4j database.
Chapter 10, Real World Considerations, serves as a summary of the AI modeling techniques covered in the previous chapters. The chapter also shows where to look for further knowledge of the domain.
