A summer school on data science and its applications in industry and financial technologies was held at Allameh Tabataba’i University.

Data science, artificial intelligence, and financial technology (FinTech) have played an essential role in advancing modern economies, society, technology, and many other fields. Smart FinTech is the new generation of FinTech, which is mainly inspired and empowered by financial mathematics, data science, and next-generation artificial intelligence (DSAI) techniques. Smart FinTech integrates and transforms the economic and financial sectors to drive intelligent, automated, whole businesses and personalized businesses, services, and economic and financial systems. In 2021, the volume of collected data increased by 37% compared to 2020 and reached 74 trillion gigabytes. The numbers are pretty impressive.

Based on this, the scientific pole of financial mathematics, in cooperation with the Faculty of Statistics, Mathematics and Computer Science of Allameh Tabataba'i University and the UiTM University of Malaysia, has organized a summer school consisting of ten sessions in which professors of data science, machine learning and financial mathematics from abroad and inside the country have presented their materials, in this summer school to those who are interested in theoretical and practical materials and how to use data science, machine learning and financial mathematics in economic advancement and launching fintech (fintech start-up technology), which is the important slogan of the year by The position of Supreme Leader is presented.

The audience of this summer school were university professors and students of financial mathematics, data science, and artificial intelligence, as well as managers, experts, and activists of the stock exchange, bank, and insurance were present in this summer school.

The most important thing taught to those who are interested in this summer school is the theoretical issues related to data science, machine learning, and financial mathematics, as well as how to use this great knowledge to promote and create a dynamic economy inside the country using global experiences and the existing national situation.

The scientific research meeting " Advanced methods of financial data analysis with emphasis on machine learning" was held.

The second scientific research meeting, "Advanced methods of financial data analysis with emphasis on machine learning" was held virtually today, December 2, 1400, in order to educate and improve the scientific level of faculty members, students, and activists in related fields.

According to the public relations report, the opening ceremony of the second scientific research meeting "advanced methods of financial data analysis with emphasis on machine learning" in order to educate and improve the scientific level of faculty members, students, and activists in related fields was held virtually with the presence of Dr. Abdolsadeh Neisy, head of Center of Excellence in Financial Mathematics and faculty member of Allameh Tabataba'i University's, Dr. Mohammad Reza Asghari Oskoei, faculty member of the computer department, Dr. Amir Hamouni, CEO of Iran Foreign Exchange, Dr. Ali Naqavi, CEO of Iran Energy Exchange, and Dr. Seyed Jalal Dehghani Firouzabadi, Vice-President for Research of Allameh Tabataba'i University.

In this scientific meeting, which is planned with the presence of capital market and university activists, in addition to studying new methods in machine learning, mathematical models for risk hedging were presented and tested by providing examples of the effectiveness of these methods. Also, in addition to creating a constructive and useful interaction between the university and the capital market, scientific methods in the study of market data and their appropriate modeling were discussed and investigated. At the beginning of the meeting, Dr. Nisi, while appreciating Allameh Tabataba'i University and all those who helped to share a part of the border of science and knowledge between mathematics and capital markets, said: "Certainly, any work in the scientific community will come to a conclusion when it is supported, and the most support was provided by the Faculty of Statistics, Mathematics and Computers of Allameh Tabataba'i University and many meetings were held until the contents of the second meeting and this The course was prepared and adjusted. "

He stated that the times have changed and must be changed with the changes, adding: The world's view of science has changed. Nothing can be done without a university degree. Of course, university degrees, while necessary, are not enough. What completes university degrees is the use of information from additional courses like this one. Complementary materials that students and researchers must learn are presented in these courses.

The director of the scientific center of financial mathematics continued: The scientific center of financial mathematics has started working with this approach and organizes supplementary courses for students, professors, and activists of related capital markets. Our users are students of financial mathematics, financial engineering, financial economics, financial management, computing, and statistics, who can penetrate the science.

Emphasizing that the institution that can enter into the details of science is the university, he added: Master's and Ph.D. students should not be happy to get degrees. We should be able to make a fortune from science. We must learn how to use science in our service and use it for the benefit of society. We must enter the field of technology and know the future of science. In another part of this meeting, Dr. Dehghani Firouzabadi pointed out that the future world is the world of machines and artificial intelligence and continued: The important program is to generate wealth from science. In the fields of natural sciences and medicine, generating wealth from science does not need much explanation and justification, but in the field of humanities, we must also explain and justify this phenomenon. How to generate wealth through humanities.

Stating that there are many ways to generate wealth from science in the field of humanities, he added: One of the ways is to use interdisciplinary studies so that we can apply humanities and social sciences. Also, one of the other things that can be done is holding interdisciplinary meetings in order to promote the use of artificial intelligence and smart machines in other fields that are not yet familiar with the use of these sciences.

Research Vice President of Allameh Tabataba'i University stated: One of the harms of our educational system is the lack of attention to the practical knowledge, or in other words, the non-optimal application of social sciences. Therefore, learning practical knowledge is crucial and artificial intelligence can help with this. He called the lack of attention to skill training and skill enhancement another problem of the educational system and said: these meetings and courses can increase the skills training and skill enhancement of academics, especially in related fields, in parallel with the official educational programs. To solve the problems of society and people, we need to produce problem-solving science. Pure science is necessary, but part of science must be practical in order to solve part of the problems and challenges of society.

Dr. Dehghani Firouzabadi stated: One of the aims of science is to create all-round development, economic and human development, which is expected from all sciences. Therefore, publicizing, expanding, and promoting the knowledge of financial data analysis through artificial intelligence can help solve people's problems, optimize decisions, and reduce investment risk. In the end, he said: In order to optimally use artificial intelligence and machine learning, we must first know this knowledge and its products so that based on sufficient knowledge, we know what opportunities and challenges this knowledge or technology produced from it creates for us. We should be able to reduce or overcome the challenges created by using the opportunities to the maximum and optimally.
