Kolm Y1 - 2023/03/14 UR - https://pm-research.com/content/early/2023/03/14/jfds.2023.1.123.abstract N2 - Advances in machine learning (ML) are having profound influence on many fields. In this article, the authors present a curated version of a panel discussion that they moderated at Applied Machine Learning Days 2022 on the impact of recent advancements in ML on decision making, data-driven analysis, and time-series modeling in finance. The panel consisted of industry and academic panelists in the field of finance and ML: Robert Almgren, Matthew Dixon, Lisa Huang, Fabrizio Lillo, Mathieu Rosenbaum, and Nicholas Westray. In the discussions with the panelists, the authors focused on (1) the recent developments of deep learning such as transformer and physics-informed neural networks, (2) common misconceptions and challenges in applying ML in finance, and (3) opportunities and new research directions.
