LiU SAI – Scene for AI

Welcome to LiU SAI #6 on Tuesday 21 of June at Linköping University. This time we
focus on financial AI. Isaiah Hull from Riksbanken is our speaker and you will also
get the opportunity to participate in discussion groups after the talk. An excellent
opportunity for exchanging information, networking and to broaden your
perspective about the subject. We’d like to see participants from the academia,
business world, public sector and anyone who’s interested in AI and finances.

Isaiah Hull is a senior economist at the research division of the Riksbank. He holds a
PhD in economics from Boston College and conducts research on computational
economics, machine learning, and quantum computing. He is also the instructor
for DataCamp’s “Introduction to TensorFlow in Python” course and the author of
“Machine Learning for Economics in Finance in TensorFlow 2.”
His talk will start with a broad overview of the use of machine learning in
economics and finance. It will then focus on two of his research projects, which
apply natural language processing to problems in macroeconomics and central
banking.
