Announcement
Please Circulate to Faculty and Researchers in Physics, Computer Science,
Economics, Mathematics, Business Schools
There are some interesting opportunities for university/industry
collaboration in the area of applying non-linear dynamical systems,
including but not limited to connectionist networks, to problems in
financial modeling within the banking sector.
The projects for which I am responsible including modeling of
fixed-income securities, forecasting of demand deposit accounts,
improvments to traditional duration/market value models, forecasting
select futures/commodities, and analysis of interest rate risks. We are
somewhat less interested in the traditional stock-price forecasting
applications for which there has been so much visibility of late and are
more interested in the use of techniques such as NNs, fuzzy logic, chaos
models and genetic algorithms for the identification and discrimination
of useful features and parameters that can be applied to forecasting some
rather indeterminate quantities.
Our work is not a short-order task and we are looking for an academic
partner with whom we might establish a long-term partnership. There are
plenty of precedents for good collaborations of this sort on which we
might model our joint effort. We envision building a set of tools that
can be refined in the course of studying one or two particular problems
from the above set and which as a toolset could be made available for use
on other problems besides those of interest to those in finance and
economics.
Our problems are such that they are both real-world, down-to-earth
applications in need of practical solutions and research-worthy in that
not too much has been done in some of these topics. There is good thesis
material, and good opportunity for breaking new ground. For instance, I
see strong parallels between the currency balances and flows that we are
trying to model and fluid dynamics... Cellular automata and parallel
processing are two other methods that could be applied to some of these
problems - it isn't just a matter of time series prediction (not to
imply that the latter is trivial).
A prior research track in the financial area is not as critical as an
ability to work together on some practical problems (but without losing
the spirit of scientific exploration and innovation). Being able to
cooperatively show results and demonstrations of practical success is
going to be very important.
This is an introductory announcement of interest on our part and I
welcome responses from individuals and groups that feel they have a
common interest and something to contribute. I believe that a highly
synergetic and mutually rewarding partnership is possible with the right
team.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Richmond VA Area SIG on NNs and NLDs Forming
An informal special interest group on neural and non-linear dynamical
systems is forming, oriented to people in the Richmond and east/central
Virginia area. There is currently no organizational affiliation and what
directions this group takes depends upon the response and participation
of interested persons.
The intent here is to bring together people who may otherwise be somewhat
isolated by virtue of working in diverse industries or centers, academic
or corporate, and who could benefit by reason of verbal and electronic
exchanges. My initial sense is that there is more going on in this part
of the country and state than appears at first glance, and while Richmond
may seem so close to Baltimore/Washington D.C. as a major technology arena, it
really isn't.
If you are interested, please contact me and we will see where this goes.
One idea is to have a monthly seminar with an invited talk; convenient
facilities can be easily provided.
