Moderated By: Jessica Rodriguez, Industry Engagement and Outreach Officer, The Data Science Institute
Decision making in financial services is often based on analysis of data of various modalities: timeseries, spreadsheets, natural language reports etc. Yet, practitioners often rely on visualizations such as charts and plots to reason about their predictions. Inspired by the end-users, we re-imagine topics such as timeseries forecasting and classification in a visual setting, similar to the way humans intuitively do. Join to learn about some of our recent work at JP Morgan AI Research, along with collaboration and job opportunities!
