2nd ACM International Conference on AI in Finance (ICAIF’21)

Call for Participation

Advances in Artificial Intelligence – including Machine Learning – are being felt throughout society and our economy, with some of the most significant impacts in Finance: including financial markets, financial services, and the global financial system, more broadly. This scholarly peer-reviewed conference, in its second year, aims to bring together researchers from a variety of disciplines, to share technical advances and insights on the effects of AI & ML on the Finance world. 

ICAIF’21 follows on a successful 2020 event hosted virtually in October 2020, with over 950 participants. The ICAIF’21 is an ACM conference organized in collaboration with Oxford University and the Turing Institute. 

We invite participation from academia, government, regulatory agencies, financial institutions, NGOs and other stakeholders in the AI and Finance community. Please join us for this event in November 2021!

Presently the event is planned as a virtual conference. If an in person event becomes feasible, we will announce it well ahead of time.

Call for Workshops

ICAIF organizing committee invites proposals for ICAIF Workshops from academia, government, regulatory agencies, financial institutions, NGOs and other researchers and practitioners in the AI and Finance community. We particularly encourage proposals from women and individuals from underrepresented minorities. Workshop organizers are responsible for the full execution and planning of the workshop. 

Workshop Goals:

  • ICAIF Workshops provide a platform for bringing together people with common interests to form communities. Good workshops can help to evaluate and contrast competing perspectives.
  • ICAIF Workshops aim to tackle emerging topics, explore industry-wide challenges, strategic opportunities, novel tools and techniques, and start industry-wide conversations.
  • ICAIF Workshop schedules should encourage lively debates, stimulate the production of new ideas and the discussion of controversial issues.
