Abstract:
Finance has been one of the most active domains with increasingly bigger data, faster innovations and
more prosperous applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and data science, including algorithmic
trading, cryptocurrency, blockchains, P2P lending, digital and mobile payments, digital assets,
crowdfunding, robo‐advising, and regtech transformation. AI and data science are driving newgeneration
financial technology (FinTech), which profoundly disrupts existing theories of money,
investment, credit, market and regulation and empowers new‐generation financial innovations,
products, services, operations, processes and ecosystems. This Special Issue on AI and Fintech will
collect the latest advancements in FinTech driven by advanced AI and data science that model complex
interactions, relations, and their dynamics and impact on big financial data and complex financial
behaviors across financial markets, products, systems and networks, as well as enable smart financial
innovations, services, markets, operations, processes, products, and regulation and risk management.
Scope of Interest:
The SI will solicit the recent theoretical and practical advancements in AI and FinTech including:
- Construction of financial data DNA and digital genes in financial systems, enterprise and regions
- Representation learning of complex financial and socio‐economic problems and networks
- Modelling complex couplings, relations, dependencies, interactions, and networking in finance
- Modelling regional and global financial activities, behaviors, events and their impact and risk
- Cross‐market, product, indicator, platform and network modelling, hologram and risk analysis
- Modelling natural, online, social, economic, cultural and political factors in finance
- Modelling financial scenarios, emergence, uncertainty and ill‐ to un‐structured systemic risk
- Novel theories and tools for digital assets and their valuation, risk analysis and management
- New blockchain theories and tools for cryptocurrency, digital asset pricing, trading, mechanism
design, smart contract, open banking and investment - Innovation in credit loans and risk genes for SMEs and individual financing
- Innovations in P2P lending, crowdfunding, robo‐advising, digital payment and dynamic credit
rating and asset pricing - Other important aspects, issues and progress associated with both AI and FinTech
