The rise of artificial intelligence (A.I.) is unstoppable. Adoption of alternative data, machine learning and "natural language processing" is happening many times faster than historical tech developments. How relevant are still the traditional theories of Fama French and CAPM for investors, when next-generation alpha information is becoming increasingly available? These topics and more will be addressed by various experts, including Robeco's Head of Next Gen Research, Mike Chen, Head of Robeco’s Next Gen Research and Lecturer at MIT Sloan, and Simon Trimborn (UvA) as we explore the cutting-edge world of Machine Learning and Next-Gen Quant Investing.
In addition, hear from the distinguished winners of the International Quantitative Finance Awards: Maurits van Altvorst (Optiver), Anne Coll Franck (PhD student at Pontificia Comillas) and Xuyang Lin (Sorbonne). They will showcase the real-world applicability of their award-winning research, providing insights into the latest advancements in quantitative finance.
This is a unique opportunity to gain exclusive knowledge from industry leaders and rising stars in the field. No quant background required. Something you don't want to miss!
