SUMMARY:IDSS Workshop on Data\, Analytics\, and Risk in Finance
DESCRIPTION:This workshop focused on opportunities for big data and predictive analytics in finance and economics\, including new approaches to modeling\, measuring\, and understanding risk. \n\nRead the summary report (pdf)\nWatch the videos\nCheck out the reading list\n\nOverview\nTechnological advancements have transformed financial markets into increasingly complex and dynamic systems. Organizations including banks\, asset management firms\, information technology firms\, and regulatory agencies are all: increasingly interconnected; managing transactions at sub-millisecond time scales; and generating\, storing\, and managing masses of data. This creates challenges and opportunities when it comes to understanding and managing risk in financial systems — for example: How can we leverage big data to develop better analytical methods for predicting bubbles and collapses in financial systems? Can we use data to map and model interconnections across financials systems toward better understanding systemic risk and how disruptions propagate? What are the opportunities for creating new financial forecasting tools and risk metrics? \nThis workshop brought together stakeholders from across industry\, government and academia to discuss these opportunities and priorities for research and innovation in this area. The workshop focused on the following: \n\npriorities for financial firms and regulators in assessing and managing risk;\nopportunities for big data and machine learning in better understanding behavior and modeling the interconnections and complex dynamics in financial systems;\nusing statistical models and algorithms to improve decision-making and design policies;\nnovel applications for emerging technologies\, including blockchain and encryption techniques;\napplying new techniques to enable data sharing while managing privacy;\nopportunities to collaborate on developing resources\, open source tools and platforms\, and new predictive analytic metrics that enable a deeper understanding of risk and new approaches to monitoring risk and improving stability in financial markets.\n\nInvited participants brought perspectives from across disciplines including finance\, economics\, statistics and data science\, and social sciences. We used this workshop to explore innovative ideas at the intersection of these fields and generate an output document that summarizes challenges and priorities for research. \nAgenda and Videos\nOpening Remarks\nIntroductory remarks: Professor Munzer Dahleh\, Director of IDSS and Elizabeth Bruce\, Executive Director\, IDSS \n \nSession 1: Financial Systems: Risk and Resiliency\nThis session focused on understanding risk and resiliency in financial systems — key challenges and new opportunities. Issues of systemic risk\, interconnections\, and interdependencies across global financial networks and what is important for the future stability of these systems. \n  \nIntroduction to Panel by Professor Asu Ozdaglar (Director\, LIDS) \n\n\n  \n“Systemic Risk” by Professor Daron Acemoglu (Department of Economics\, MIT) \n\n  \nVIDEO NOT AVAILABLE\n“Big data challenges and opportunities in financial stability monitoring” by Dr. Mark Flood (Office of Financial Research) \n  \n“Five Questions about Systemic Risk” by Professor Simon Johnson (Sloan\, MIT) \n\n  \n“Why did we get it wrong?

SUMMARY:On Complex Supervised Learning Problems\, and On Ranking and Choice Models
DESCRIPTION:The Stochastics and Statistics Seminar is a weekly meeting organized by the Statistics and Data Science Center (SDSC). It consists of a series of one-hour presentations by worldwide leaders making cutting edge contributions to methodological and theoretical advances in data science. These fields include probability\, statistics\, optimization\, and applied mathematics. The seminar also regularly features experts in applications domains such as biology or engineering. This intellectual diversity has contributed to the organic assembly of a dynamic and diverse audience articulated around a core group composed of faculty\, postdocs and graduate students from different department and affiliated with IDSS. Every week\, this audience is supplemented by a large number—often more than doubled—of attendees from all of MIT reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the stochastics and statistics seminar.
