The event was a wonderful opportunity to learn, network, and reconnect with old friends and colleagues. We extended the networking session by heading to a nearby bar, where we continued our discussions for a couple more hours.
Programme:
Talk 1: Applications of LLMs at Maven Securities
We were given the opportunity to get a sneak peek into Maven Securities' efforts with Large Language Models.
Talk 2: Machine Learning Tools for Asset Management: A Guided Tour
We got a guided tour of useful machine learning tools and how they can be used for asset management (systematic, semi-systematic, and discretionary).
Talk 3: Semantic Textual Similarity: Extracting Greater Value from Text Data
Abstract: Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) is a crucial task in natural language processing that quantifies the semantic relatedness between text fragments. This work presents an analysis of fundamental similarity functions and introduces a novel multiobjective approach for optimal threshold selection in STS tasks. The authors explore the strengths and limitations of commonly used similarity measures and propose a multiobjective optimization framework to determine the most suitable threshold to extract greater value from the text data.
