Forecasting the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is an important yet challenging task in economics, where most existing approaches rely on low-frequency, survey-based data. With the recent advances of large language models (LLMs), there is growing potential to leverage high-frequency online text data for improved CPI prediction, an area still largely unexplored. This paper proposes LLM-CPI, an LLM-based approach for CPI prediction inference incorporating online text time series. We collect a large set of high-frequency online texts from a popularly used Chinese social network site and employ LLMs such as ChatGPT and the trained BERT models to construct continuous inflation labels for posts that are related to inflation. Online text embeddings are extracted via LDA and BERT. We develop a joint time series framework that combines monthly CPI data with LLM-generated daily CPI surrogates. The monthly model employs an ARX structure combining observed CPI data with text embeddings and macroeconomic variables, while the daily model uses a VARX structure built on LLM-generated CPI surrogates and text embeddings. We establish the asymptotic properties of the method and provide two forms of constructed prediction intervals. The finite-sample performance and practical advantages of LLM-CPI are demonstrated through both simulation and real data examples.

A Bloomberg terminal keyboard is seen in central London on April 17, 2015. Bloomberg terminals used ... [ ] by subscribers to make trades using real-time developments in business and finance were struck by a "global network problem" for several hours today, the company said. After users in financial centres around the world flocked to Twitter to complain of the unexpected outage of terminals, Bloomberg technicians began repair operations that started bringing some blanked terminals back on line at around 0945 GMT. Bloomberg is bringing to finance what GPT and ChatGPT brought to everyday general purpose chatbots. The paper that Bloomberg released reveals the great technical depth of its BloombergGPT machine learning model, applying the type of AI techniques that GPT uses to financial datasets.

Last week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Kevin Novak, founder of Rackhouse Venture Capital and Uber's first head of AI, and Alex Lee, founder and CEO, of Truewind, in front of a crowd of investors and LPs. The panel was titled, "AI and the battle to capture its value chain: base layer accrual vs the fine tuners." Here's a sample of the questions and topics we addressed. How has AI evolved since you started working in the field, and what is different about this current hype cycle compared to previous ones? According to the Economist, over 500 generative AI startups have collectively raised over $11B, not including OpenAI.

Forecasts from Persistence Market Research indicate that by the end of the forecast period in 2027, the worldwide deep learning market would be worth US$ 261,113.0 This indicates a 49.0% compound annual growth rate that was seen over the anticipated period. This development can be ascribed to the demand for improved processing hardware, an increase in global R&D activity in particular industries, and the quick global adoption of cloud-based technologies. A recent research from Persistence Market Research offers a complete review of the worldwide deep learning market. In-depth analysis of the deep learning concept and the performance of the global deep learning market across significant end-use industry sectors throughout seven significant geographies are provided in this study.

Machine learning enables the creation of algorithms that can learn from data, spot any unusual user behaviour, predict risks, and automatically notify financial companies of a threat. Employing data science within finance helps companies manage and store customers' data far more efficiently. Firms can boost profits using AI-driven tools and technologies such as natural language processing (NLP), data mining and text analytics, while machine learning algorithms analyse data, identify valuable insights and suggest better business solutions. Data science can analyse the market landscape and customer data in real time, enabling financial specialists to take action to mitigate risks. The use of data science in the financial sector goes beyond fraud, risk management and customer analysis.

The course aims at helping students to be able to solve practical ML-amenable problems that they may encounter in real life that include: (1) understanding where the problem one faces lands on a general landscape of available ML methods, (2) understanding which particular ML approach(es) would be most appropriate for resolving the problem, and (3) ability to successfully implement a solution, and assess its performance. A learner with some or no previous knowledge of Machine Learning (ML) will get to know main algorithms of Supervised and Unsupervised Learning, and Reinforcement Learning, and will be able to use ML open source Python packages to design, test, and implement ML algorithms in Finance. Fundamentals of Machine Learning in Finance will provide more at-depth view of supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning, and end up in a project on using unsupervised learning for implementing a simple portfolio trading strategy. The course is designed for three categories of students: Practitioners working at financial institutions such as banks, asset management firms or hedge funds Individuals interested in applications of ML for personal day trading Current full-time students pursuing a degree in Finance, Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or other related disciplines who want to learn about practical applications of ML in Finance Experience with Python (including numpy, pandas, and IPython/Jupyter notebooks), linear algebra, basic probability theory and basic calculus is necessary to complete assignments in this course.

The digital evolution of the financial services (FS) industry is heavily reliant on having quality information and analytics to deliver services to customers and manage operations in an efficient and risk-appropriate manner. With developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) transforming the information processing and data analytics landscape, and opening up potential benefits, such as business process simplification, cost reduction, efficiency improvements and enhanced customer engagement, many FS firms have become early adopters of AI. Building and operationalising a trustworthy AI framework within an FS firm takes time and effort, however the benefits can be significant. While regulators around the globe encourage and support innovation in the FS sector, questions have been raised on whether AI has been used in an ethical and trustworthy way for customers and our society. In this report, we explore the principles underpinning ethical use of AI issued by regulators and governments in the Asia Pacific region, and what FS firms need to consider when developing their own'trustworthy AI framework'.
