Fast paced tutorials (20 minutes each) on computational topics.
- Michael Wellman, University of Michigan (Thursday) - Strategic Reasoning and Agent-Based Modeling
Financial scenarios are characterized by complex interactions among forward-looking self-interested agents. I discuss an emerging methodology for strategic reasoning that bridges the gap between computational modeling and economic analysis by combining fine-grained simulation with game-theoretic solution concepts. These methods have shed light on several scenarios in automated trading, and may be suitable for understanding the implications of high-frequency trading in various market mechanisms.
- Phil Bernstein, Microsoft Research - Metamodels.
- What's at stake in choosing a metamodel in a modeling environment? - How do you deal with models expressed in heterogeneous metamodels?
- Mike Bennett, EDM Council and David Newman, Wells Fargo - Conceptual Modeling and
Ontologies and Semantic Web Technologies LEI Semantic Solutions for Financial Industry Systemic Risk Management
- The value and role of a conceptual model in systems development. - The role in ontology development. - Faceted representation using an example of an interest rate swap - Comprehensive view of the transaction terms, rights and obligations, contract terms, etc. - An overview of the value of using operational ontologies based upon the Financial Industry Business Ontology (vs. conventional technologies). - Data standardization, instrument classification, identifying impact of contractual provisions and identifying legal entity linkage and exposures. - Relationship to enhanced institutional and macroprudential risk management.
- Lucian Popa, IBM Almaden - Information Extraction and Modeling
Midas is a research infrastructure to extract, clean, link, and integrate entities from public unstructured data sources. A major focus area is in the financial domain and is based on the regulatory filings that publicly traded companies periodically submit to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). By extracting and analyzing data spread over millions of documents, we built an entity-centric repository for the network of major financial institutions, where the main entities are financial companies, their loans and securities, their key executives and directors, as well as relationships with other companies. We show how the resulting entities can be visualized and further analyzed. We show extensions of these methods to social media data collections.
- H.V. Jagadish - Data modeling and analysis.
- Leora Morgenstern and Benjamin Grosof - Reasoning.
- Ben Schneiderman and William Ribarsky - Visual analytics
