IDEAS SoCal AI & Data Science Conference 2019

An introduction of computing has revolutionized the financial trading industry, making it possible to track market changes and execute an enormous number of orders at a speed of light. Today, AI-driven trading systems are launching the next wave of innovation that will result in the most significant transformation in finance history. In this talk, Vladyslav Ivanov is going to introduce the audience to the development and production level algorithmic trading pipelines and their primary components. The talk will cover how the three primary subsets of Artificial Intelligence: Machine Learning, NLP, and Vision are being used in an effort to gain better market insights and ultimately a trading advantage. Topics as fetching and storing the time-series financial data, application of alternative data, and aspects of the financial markets will also be discussed. Finally, we will conclude by talking about using AI in conjunction with traditional models for describing market volatility, such as GARCH.
