Fields CFI Conference on Recent Advances in Mathematical Finance and Insurance
Description
Stochastic control and stochastic games have wide applicability in many fields and many of the theoretical developments are driven by questions arising in finance and insurance. There is also a wealth of activity in developing computational tools, stemming from machine learning, but guided by theory, that find their applications in finance and insurance. The aim of this conference is to bring together international leaders from across the world to discuss recent results, open problems, and new directions in the fields. Particular emphasis will be paid to the intersections and interactions between stochastic control, games, and the burgeoning field of machine learning. We anticipate that the conference will spur cross pollination of ideas between finance and insurance and spark new academic collaborations. Additionally, the topic of the conference is of keen interest to industry practitioners in finance and insurance, and we anticipate a strong presence from industry participants. Ideally leading to industry-academic collaborations.
