Some topics covered are relevant to the Advanced Topics in Predictive Analytics (ATPA) exam of the Society of Actuaries.  Topics in deep learning are also relevant to the statistical learning portion of the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) curriculum, and the quantitative methods section of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Institute curriculum.

Familiarity with machine learning models covered in the Data Science in Finance and Insurance (ACTU PS5841) course is helpful.  Prior exposure to linear algebra, calculus, statistics, and a working knowledge of python and spreadsheets are necessary.
