“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” – Abraham Lincoln
Mini Track Chair:
Data Science provides insight and understanding of large amount of unstructured and heterogeneous digital sources. Today’s business activities in the modern digital society produces masses of information that needs to be filtered, analysed and structured for prediction and modelling. Text mining, herding analysis and sentiment extraction are quantitative tools to augment forecasts in finance, banking and behavioral economics. Smart data analytics is the way to apply data science in a digital society.
In this track we aim at practitioners and academics that want to present tools and concepts of data science with a strong focus on applications and implementations.
We encourage submission of papers that address emerging needs and the impact of data science on the new digital society.
FinTech aims to improve the efficiency of financial systems using technology. FinTech bring several opportunities (competitive prices, better user experience, wider inclusion) but also risks (credit risks, market risks, cyber risks), amplified by the interconnectedness of FinTech platforms, which generates systemic risks.
We encourage submission of papers dealing with the following subject fields (but not limited to): Digital Banking, Internet Finance, Financial Inclusion, Asset Allocation, Impact Investment, Crypto Currency, Alternative Asset Management, Blockchain Technology, Robo Advising, Text Mining, P2P Financing, Financial Privacy Issues.
