Big data has both high volume and high velocity – one way this manifests is as silos of in-situ data representing departments in banks that are very difficult to move and integrate to obtain a single coherent customer view. Further, the ability to perform data analytics – dynamically and in near real-time – of rapidly changing […]
In the era of Finance Big Data, how can one conquer something so big and so vast? Management and learning in Finance Big Data should thus follow the holistic “Divide & Conquer” philosophy. We will develop a novel platform that supports all aspects of this philosophy, including workflow-based tools for content ingest and description, […]
This research project aims to transform unstructured textual content in multiple languages and formats into a structured form suitable for traditional analytic techniques in financial decision-making. The challenge is to extract semantically annotated facts in the form of relationships between concepts and entities mentioned in a stream of documents and social media. The task fits […]
The research project aims to study investor behaviour and the dynamics of corporate ownership, especially during financial crises via complex network analysis and big data techniques. The researcher will study in depth large financial data sets, including a unique dataset of complete trading records from all Finnish investors on publicly traded domestic stocks along […]
This project seeks to analyse systemic risk from a network perspective, combining theoretical modelling, empirical analysis, and practical (policy) applications. First, the project aims at contributing to the debate on fundamental questions such as: Is there a resilient architecture to the financial system? Should we put restrictions on institutions that are too big or too […]
The main objective is to develop a prototype framework for pricing and risk management using machine learning algorithms and a large variety of heterogeneous and high-volume data, including tick-by-tick quotes of bond prices, market data underlying economic indicators (such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, inflation rates, and commodity prices) and news feeds. This predictive analytics […]
