With data stored and processed in databases expected to double by 2025, many organizations are reevaluating their backend infrastructure in order to reduce costs, extend agility, and improve performance at scale. "As data volumes continue to scale, we've found that customer needs have also shifted," said Research Analyst Alexander Wurm. "Now customers evaluate a wider range of capabilities in competitive deals, and vendors compete to deliver elastic scalability, serverless compute, integrated data governance, and in-database analytics to capture emerging adoption." To address emerging customer needs, leading vendors are investing in artificial intelligence and machine learning in order to extend governance and automate administrative tasks such as performance tuning and resource provisioning. Leaders in this year's Value Matrix deliver advanced functionality without sacrificing ease-of-use at scale.

The objective of this paper is to explore how financial big data and machine learning methods can be applied to model and understand financial products. We focus on residential mortgage backed securities, resMBS, which were at the heart of the 2008 US financial crisis. These securities are contained within a prospectus and have a complex waterfall payoff structure. Multiple financial institutions form a supply chain to create prospectuses. To model this supply chain, we use unsupervised probabilistic methods, particularly dynamic topics models (DTM), to extract a set of features (topics) reflecting community formation and temporal evolution along the chain. We then provide insight into the performance of the resMBS securities and the impact of the supply chain through a series of increasingly comprehensive models. First, models at the security level directly identify salient features of resMBS securities that impact their performance. We then extend the model to include prospectus level features and demonstrate that the composition of the prospectus is significant. Our model also shows that communities along the supply chain that are associated with the generation of the prospectuses and securities have an impact on performance. We are the first to show that toxic communities that are closely linked to financial institutions that played a key role in the subprime crisis can increase the risk of failure of resMBS securities.

People who are skeptical of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) often harbor fears of robots stealing jobs and human workers being replaced by automatons. But the reality is that AI is increasingly being applied across sectors not to replace our jobs but to enhance them. AI and ML applications are augmenting every facet of how we do business, giving knowledge workers superpowers to be more productive, capable and effective than ever before. As a founding partner at an investment firm specializing in technology, I have a ringside view of the ways that companies are integrating new intelligent software into their business practices, bringing breakthrough solutions to major problems and opening up new opportunities for revenue growth. With the ability to avoid hours of menial labor and solve problems that were previously insurmountable, companies can elevate human potential in unprecedented ways.
