Cases

Worked solvers & case-studies.

End-to-end mini-applications built on the same techniques the courses teach — risk scoring, quant trading, knowledge graphs, macro pipelines. Each case ships with the dataset, the model, and a one-page write-up of the reasoning behind it.

Healthcare · Risk model

Clinical Risk Stratification

Patient-level risk scoring on tabular EHR data. Gradient-boosted ensemble with calibration, SHAP attributions, and a fairness audit across protected groups.

Stack · pandas · lightgbm · scikit-learn · SHAP

Quant finance · Equities

Cross-Sectional Momentum Algorithm

Classic cross-sectional momentum portfolio — formation / holding period sweep, transaction-cost-aware backtest, Newey-West t-stats, and a sub-period regime breakdown.

Stack · pandas · numpy · statsmodels

Quant finance · Stat-arb

Pairs-Trading System with Cointegration Filter

Pair selection by Engle-Granger cointegration, half-life-aware OU-process entry / exit thresholds, walk-forward live simulation with slippage and stop-loss controls.

Stack · numpy · statsmodels · backtester

Data & AI · Knowledge graph

Enterprise Knowledge Graph + GraphRAG

Schema → entity-resolution → graph store → retrieval-augmented generation over an organisation's internal docs. Includes a Neo4j + pgvector reference architecture and an evaluation harness.

Stack · NetworkX · rdflib · Neo4j · pgvector

Macro · Pipeline

Macro Dashboard with SDMX Pipeline

Live macro indicators (BIS, IMF, FRED) pulled via SDMX into a dashboard with consistent vintages, revision-aware time series, and nowcasting on key headline series.

Stack · pandasdmx · duckdb · plotly

Social analytics · NLP

Misinformation & Stance Pipeline

End-to-end social-media monitoring: ingest → claim extraction → stance classification → community detection on the share graph, with a small operator UI for triage.

Stack · spaCy · transformers · NetworkX

Energy · Forecasting

Grid-Congestion Forecasting

Short-horizon nodal-price spike forecaster. Combines weather, unit-commitment fundamentals, and a gradient-boosted residual to beat naive seasonal benchmarks on out-of-sample tests.

Stack · pandas · lightgbm · joblib

Experimentation · Statistics

A/B Test Sample-Size + Power Calculator

Live calculator for two-sample tests on proportions and means. Handles unequal allocation, sequential / fixed-horizon designs, and plots power curves you can paste straight into a planning doc.
