Wall Street Meets AI

Wed, Nov 25, 11:30 PM

From AI, Quant & Finance NYC

Where Artificial Intelligence Meets Quantitative Finance Wall Street has always been a place where mathematics, technology, and financial markets intersect. Today, artificial intelligence is reshaping that intersection — from machine learning and systematic trading to reinforcement learning, portfolio optimization, and autonomous financial agents. We’re launching AI Finance, a new professional community bringing together the people building the future of quantitative finance. Join us for our inaugural networking social at a sophisticated Wall Street hotel lounge for an evening of cocktails, conversations, and new connections with New York City’s quantitative finance and AI community. No presentations. No pitches. No formal agenda. Just an opportunity to meet the researchers, engineers, traders, and innovators working at the intersection of AI and financial markets. The Conversation Financial markets have become increasingly driven by data, algorithms, and intelligent systems. As AI capabilities advance, new opportunities — and new questions — are emerging across quantitative research, investment management, and financial technology. What happens when reinforcement learning meets systematic trading? How are LLMs and autonomous agents changing investment research? Can machine learning uncover meaningful signals in increasingly competitive markets? How do we validate these systems and manage their risks? Bring your research, experiences, perspectives, and ideas. Whether you’re developing trading algorithms, researching new architectures, building financial AI platforms, or exploring quantitative finance for the first time, you’ll find others interested in the same challenges. What to Expect An informal, professionally focused networking evening with drinks, conversation, and opportunities to connect across New York’s financial and technology communities. Meet quantitative researchers, AI engineers, data scientists, systematic traders, portfolio managers, and fintech founders. Share what you’re building, discuss emerging research, exchange perspectives on financial markets, and establish connections beyond your immediate industry. We’ll also be discussing the direction of Quant Builders NYC — future research sessions, technical talks, industry speakers, and opportunities to collaborate. Who Should Attend? Quantitative researchers, algorithmic traders, portfolio managers, hedge fund professionals, AI and machine learning engineers, financial engineers, data scientists, fintech founders, academics, and anyone interested in the convergence of artificial intelligence and finance. All experience levels are welcome, from established industry professionals to aspiring quantitative researchers.

Hybrid Event: Chao Zhang - Large-Scale Corporate Default Modeling

Tue, Nov 17, 11:00 PM

From The Thalesians

4.6

**Please Note! Speaker Change:** IAQF & Thalesians Seminar Series: A Kernel Machine for Large-Scale Corporate Default Modeling. A Seminar by Chao Zhang 6:00 PM Seminar Begins 7:30 PM Reception Fordham University McNally Amphitheater 140 West 62nd Street New York, NY 10023 Hybrid Event Free Registration! For Virtual Attendees: Please email web@iaqf.org for the link. **Abstract:** We present a scalable kernel logistic regression framework for estimating forward-looking, real-world corporate default probabilities using features derived from financial variables and structural credit-model outputs. This kernel machine is used in the Bloomberg Corporate Default Risk Model (DRSK). The model learns a globally defined nonlinear log-odds function in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. The chosen hybrid linear–Gaussian radial-basis-function kernel is universal and capable of approximating a broad class of nonlinear dynamics. Under standard conditions and an appropriate regularization scheme, the associated learning procedure is universally consistent, with prediction risk converging to the Bayes risk as the sample size increases. The application involves large-scale, highly imbalanced default data spanning multiple regions, sectors, and credit cycles. To address the computational cost of conventional kernel machine training, we combine majority-class down-sampling with selection-bias correction and select model complexity through cross-validation and Bayesian optimization. Empirical results demonstrate improved calibration and out-of-sample predictive performance relative to conventional logistic regression. The results show that universal kernel methods can be successfully deployed for large-scale, rare-event corporate default modeling. **Bio:** Chao Zhang is a Quantitative Researcher on Bloomberg’s Quant Risk Analytics team. His work focuses on the development of machine learning and quantitative models for a wide range of applications in finance and risk analytics, including credit, market, and climate risk. He earned his PhD in Mathematical Statistics from the University of California, Santa Barbara, where his research encompassed functional and distributional data analysis, as well as statistical and machine learning.

CFO AI Leverage Report: AI Budgets, ROI and Finance Sign-Off

Sun, Nov 15, 4:30 PM

From The Executive Community by Open Future Forum

Enterprise AI is moving from experimentation into the finance office. Open Future Forum has released the **CFO AI Leverage Report, Edition 1**, introducing the **Enterprise AI Buying & Budget Index** and the **CFO AI Leverage Index**. The report examines how CFOs and senior finance leaders are evaluating AI budgets, buying authority, ROI, productivity, governance and the question now sitting at the center of enterprise AI adoption: **Can AI help companies grow output without growing headcount at the same rate?** Read the report here: [https://openfutureforum.com/research/cfo-ai-leverage-report](https://openfutureforum.com/research/cfo-ai-leverage-report) This private executive discussion will focus on what the report means for CFOs, founders, finance leaders, AI operators, investors and enterprise executives. We will look at how AI buying is shifting, who signs off on AI purchases, what finance teams are measuring, and why AI ROI is becoming a CFO-level issue rather than only a technology issue. According to the report, enterprise generative AI spending reached approximately **$37 billion in 2025**, more than tripling from the prior year. At the same time, the share of AI spend funded from experimental innovation budgets fell from **25% to 7%** in one year, showing that AI is moving into core operating budgets. The report also draws on Open Future Forum’s 2026 executive community activity, including **200+ executive registrations across 20+ events**, with **60+ finance leaders and operators**, **50+ security leaders**, and **100+ founders**. In an early directional read, **3 in 5 finance leaders asked said the CFO or finance organization signs off on AI purchases**, rather than the CEO or IT. This discussion is connected to the **CFO Executive Forum**, Open Future Forum’s invitation-only community for CFOs and senior finance leaders of high-growth companies. The CFO Executive Forum hosts small, off-the-record gatherings across Silicon Valley focused on AI, capital allocation, governance, growth, risk, productivity and the changing role of the finance function. Learn more about the CFO Executive Forum here: [https://openfutureforum.com/cfo-executive-forum](https://openfutureforum.com/cfo-executive-forum) **What we will discuss** How CFOs are evaluating enterprise AI spend Why AI budgets are moving from innovation budgets into operating budgets Who signs off on enterprise AI purchases How finance leaders are measuring AI ROI Whether AI can create real headcount leverage Where AI improves productivity, margin and capital efficiency Why founders selling AI tools need to understand the finance buyer How boards and investors are starting to ask harder questions about AI value **Who should attend** This event is designed for CFOs, VPs of Finance, controllers, finance operators, CEOs, founders, investors, enterprise AI leaders and executives responsible for AI budgets, AI transformation, productivity, governance or capital allocation. **Why this matters** The first phase of enterprise AI was about adoption. The next phase is about leverage. Executives are no longer asking only whether AI works. They are asking whether AI creates measurable business value, improves productivity, reduces operating drag, supports growth and helps teams do more without simply adding more tools, more vendors and more headcount. That is a finance question. The CFO AI Leverage Report and Enterprise AI Buying & Budget Index are designed to track that shift over time. **Key links** CFO AI Leverage Report: [https://openfutureforum.com/research/cfo-ai-leverage-report](https://openfutureforum.com/research/cfo-ai-leverage-report) CFO Executive Forum: [https://openfutureforum.com/cfo-executive-forum](https://openfutureforum.com/cfo-executive-forum) Open Future Forum: [https://openfutureforum.com](https://openfutureforum.com/)
