AI Frontiers in Finance:

With the AI Frontiers in Finance Seminar, we want to launch a monthly online seminar series dedicated to “opening the black box” as to the technical foundations of “AI in Finance” research and providing a bridge to its practical implications and business applications. We want to raise awareness of the AI applications used in academic research and their potential for broader application. This way, the seminar will differ from others by combining expertise and fostering a dialogue that enriches both the academic and professional communities.

Each session will feature a presentation by an academic researcher focusing on the AI aspects of a recent paper covering different areas in finance and economics. The presentation will dive deeper into the techniques, and innovations in AI used in the paper. Following the presentation, an industry professional and the author will have a (moderated) dialogue focusing on the technical part of the paper offering insights from an application-oriented perspective. The remaining time is left for broader discussion including questions from the audience, other potential fields of application, and a short wrap-up.

We organize monthly seminars featuring cutting-edge research in AI and big data in Finance and related fields. The seminars are scheduled online from 5pm to 6pm CET every second Tuesday of the month starting on September 10th, 2024. Don’t forget to register!
