Financial Informatics Research in Glasgow
Success in Financial Markets is driven by complex interactions between core business fundamentals, investor perception and world events. Traders, financial analysists, regulators and governments need to collate and analyse this information to effectively perform their roles. However. In our modern globalized economy, it is no longer possible for one person to fully understand all of these factors and interactions, due to the increased complexity, the number of stakeholders involved, as well as increasing attempts to obscure or misconstrue information. At the School of Computing Science we believe that the future of financial markets lies in the development of sophisticated AI assistive agents, which can collate, analyse and apply financial data in real-time and at scale for customers, where our core research is focused on how to effectively create, train, evaluate and explain such agents.
