Time Dependent Data: from Financial Analytics to Large Language Models

About

This course is a basic introduction to the dynamics of time dependent data.

We will start by discussing the type of data to be analysed. A part from typical single number time series such as temperatures or stock prices, we will also consider the evolution of geospatial variables, 3D and text data.

This will be followed by the some basic Exploratory Data Analysis in the context of time dependent data.
The couse will then provide insights on how time dependent data can be analysed based on real world examples and applications. Areas of applications that might be considered are speech, stock market evolution, music, geospatial data such as MRI scans, and medical time series data used in diagnostics.
