Conference Big Data and Machine Learning in Finance
Politecnico di Milano, June 10-11, 2021
Big Data and Machine Learning are driving a significant transformation in the financial industry. Amazing examples include: robo-advisory; predicting frauds in payment systems; development of sophisticated algorithmic trading strategies; systemic risk assessment; rating of companies/financial products using a huge amount of information; development of chatbots for customers; nowcasting of financial time series; digital marketing; instant pricing of insurance products.
The transformation concerns the academia and the financial industry. The goal of the conference is to bring together academicians with different backgrounds (economists, finance experts, data scientists, econometricians) and representatives of the financial industry (banks, asset management, insurance companies) working in this field.
Papers on all areas dealing with Machine Learning and Big Data in finance (including Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence techniques) are welcomed. The conference targets papers with different angles (methodological and applications to finance).
Important notice.
For the time being, the conference is planned to be in presence. Depending on the COVID emergency, we may consider to switch to an on-line (or a blended) conference by the 20th of April. In any case the conference will be organized (either in presence, blended or on-line). The conference fees (including the social dinner) are
- 200 Euro (industry) - Early bird 150
- 150 Euro (academic) - Early bird 100
- 50 Euro (phD student)
The early bird payments are for people registering to the conference before March 30th. However, the payments will be possible only after April 20th - in case of online conference, there will be no fees to be paid.
Invited speakers:
- Tomaso Aste (University College London)
- Emanuele Borgonovo (Università Bocconi)
- Tucker Balch (JP Morgan AI research)
- Juri Marcucci (Bank of Italy)
- Georgios Sermpinis (Adam Smith Business School, University of Glasgow)
Submission of the papers deadline: March 30th, 2021

Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: A Transformative Symbiosis in Favour of Financial Technology
Abstract
The financial technology revolution is a reality, as the financial world is gradually transforming into a digital domain of high-volume information and high-speed data transformation and processing. The more this transformation takes place, the more consumer and investor behaviour shifts towards a pro-technology attitude of financial services offered by market participants, financial institutions and financial technology companies. This new norm is confirming that information technology is driving innovation for financial technology. In this framework, the value of big data, artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques becomes apparent. The aim of this chapter is multi-fold. Firstly, a multidimensional descriptive analysis is shown to familiarise the reader with the extent of penetration of the above in the financial technology road-map. A short non-technical overview of the methods is then presented. Next, the impact of data analytics and relevant techniques on the evolution of financial technology is explained and discussed along with their applications’ landscape. The chapter also presents a glimpse of the shifting paradigm these techniques bring forward for several fintech related professions, while artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques are tied with the future challenges of AI ethics, regulation technology and the smart data utilisation.
