Webinar FaIR Deep Learning in Finance: From Implementation to Regulation – Replay
Replay AI-based Asset & Risk Management - 27 September 2021
The ILB FaIR webinar took place on 27 September, in partnership with EDF, ACPR and The Alan Turing Institute. AI computation of trading and hedging strategies has opened up new opportunities, including the ability to solve high-dimensional problems, management of constraints (liquidity, transaction costs, proxy hedging), and a more flexible choice of the criterion to be optimised. In this session, we will present the latest improvements to these methods and their operational use.
Replay Generative Methods for Simulations and Risk Management - 28 September 2021
Generative methods (GANs, VAEs, etc.) applied to time series simulations allow the model to be updated in a flexible way without having to spend time designing a new stochastic model. However, the direct application of generative adversarial networks (GANs) to time series is not straightforward. We present recent advances in time series generation and discuss the issues they raise.
Replay Confidence and Regulation of AI-based Algorithms - 29 September 2021
AI brings many improvements to the financial sector: faster and more flexible, AI algorithms tend to provide better forecasts, simulations or internal controls. However, there is a lack of confidence when it comes to the industrial implementation of AI: insufficient unit testing, lack of theoretical guarantees, data sensitivity. We will discuss how to increase the explainability and trust in AI algorithms, both from the regulators’ and the industry’s perspective.
