School of Mathematics and Natural Sciences

  • Create state of the art QF library with ML ready applications
    • Easy to use and, thus, leveraging your (daily) work/research
    • Flows smoothly with Tensorflow (TF), PyTorch and Python
    • Applied for practical purposes in financial institutions, teaching and research
    • Has common system interfaces and could re-use already libraries, eg. Prof. Fries’ FinMathLib
  • Aiming to become a leading modern analytics, research and teaching brand
    • Teaching and research (Conferences, Papers, Books)
    • Cooperation (creating models for leading banks, asset managers, insurers; leading
    • universities)
  • Establish Python/ML based solutions as industry standard – Open Source RaaS
    • Financial institutions look for solutions based on “understandable”, easy to use open source software – especially for areas that do not generate revenue in the first place (risk control, middle-/ backoffice, …)
    • Trend to combine classic “quant shops” with data analytics/data science units
    • RaaS – Risk as a Service (Well documented, open source risk models – regulatory proof)
  • The QuantLab - ML aims to provide cutting edge numerical techniques that fit into the new era of combining classical QF with ML and work with the current ML set-up.
  • The results are applied in practice, education and research. We emphasize the work on industry best practices and industry relevance.
