CAPITAL MARKETS

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE & DATA SCIENCE

1st - 2nd March 2017The Barbican, City of Londonaidataconf.com

Sponsorship Brochure

Machine learning of one sort or another has been happening within the financial arena for some time. Today, investment managers and trading operations can apply machine learning algorithms to a range of areas.

This might include mining big data and the challenge of extracting useful information from unstructured data, which could extend to social media content, and then how to find value using predictive analytics or trading. The expanding big data universe opens a whole area of alternative datasets - what is out there, what is hot, what is coming...

Other interesting areas include advanced quantitative methods of balancing portfolios and managing risk, or how

machine learning can be applied at the micro-market level to manage order flow and transaction costs.

At a higher level, the use of AI and deep learning raises ethical questions. Could the role of financial analysts be replaced by smarter algorithms, and how would this reshape the industry? From a regulatory perspective, what grey areas could be opened up when machine learning algorithms are used to police markets?

Newsweek’s AI and Data Science - Capital Markets conference will delve into each of these areas, providing insights from top level industry practitioners at banks and hedge funds, as well as chief technical officers, academics and regulators.

A so-called “artificial intelligence summer” has been ushered in by advancements in areas such as machine learning, deep learning and neural networks. This has been facilitated by a marked reduction in the cost of computing power and readily available access to very large data sets.
