Financial information, data abundance, and investment

Thierry Foucault ERC ADG 2020

Recent years have witnessed a massive growth in the volume and variety of data (""Data Abundance""). In parallel, thanks to progress in computing power, new techniques (“Artificial Intelligence”) have emerged to harness the information in these data. How does this evolution affect the quality and nature of information produced in financial markets? Is there a risk that it induces investors to trade on noisier signals about economic fundamentals? How does it change the horizon at which information is produced? How does it affect the signal-to-noise ratio in securities prices and capital allocation? This project will break new ground on these unanswered, yet fundamental, questions using a combination of analytical and empirical analyses. 

First, I will develop a theory of optimal data mining to disentangle the effect of Data Abundance (DA) from the effect of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the quality of predictors used by investors. I will then (i) use this theory to make predictions about the effects of AI and DA on the average quality of investors’ predictors, the dispersion of this quality across investors, and the informativeness of securities prices about economic fundamentals and (ii) test some of these predictions. 

Second, I will study theoretically and empirically (i) the effects of DA and AI on agents’ allocation of their resources for information production between two tasks: forecasting short-term cash-flows and forecasting long-term cash-flows and (ii) the consequence of these effects for the maturity of corporate investments. In particular, I will focus on whether there is a risk that DA and AI make securities prices more informative about conventional investment projects (whose cash-flows are realized quickly) rather than innovative investment projects (whose cash-flows are realized more slowly), thereby reducing capital available for innovation.

The Empirical Research on Volatility Measurement Model Based Multiplicative Error Model

Volatility is a very important factor of measuring financial risk. This paper introduces the measurement method of high frequency financial time series involving the nonnegativeMultiplicative Error Model. This paper takes the high frequency data of HS300 index of Chinese stock market as the research object, building the TARCH model according to leverage, and uses the realized volatility to build ARFIMA model, multiplicative error model respectively, then carries on the comparative analysis on accuracy after using the three models to predict with the mean square error method. The analysis results show that the multiplicative error model gives the best prediction effects, and ARFIMA model is the second.
Plight and breakout——The investigation about wage-earner economy in the minority villages

In the countryside of China nowadays,with the rise of economy,the trend of peasants entering the city can't be held back.However,in the forming course of wage-earner economy,as for the whole countryside structure,it not only dispelled the culture and custom of minority villages,but also had potential frangibility that should not be ignored.Peasants left their hometown to seek for their future,not only expecting to change their economic status,but also getting rid of a broken and empty countryside value under the circumstances of urban monopoly.To reconstruct countryside economy,we have to build up countryside value,attend to countryside culture,so as to retain peasants' dream in the countryside.This is the sticking point of the problem.
Statistical Method of Building Dialect Language Models for ASR Systems

This paper develops a new statistical method of building language models (LMs) of Japanese dialects for automatic speech recognition (ASR). One possible application is to recognize a variety of utterances in our daily lives. The most crucial problem in training language models for dialects is the shortage of linguistic corpora in dialects. Our solution is to transform linguistic corpora into dialects at a level of pronunciations of words. We develop phonemesequence transducers based on weighted finite-state transducers (WFSTs). Each word in common language (CL) corpora is automatically labelled as dialect word pronunciations. For example, anta (Kansai dialect) is labelled anata (the most common representation of ‘you’ in Japanese). Phoneme-sequence transducers are trained from parallel corpora of a dialect and CL. We evaluate the word recognition accuracy of our ASR system. Our method outperforms the ASR system with LMs trained from untransformed corpora in written language by 9.9 points.

Safety razor

231,177. Schlussler, A. March 22, 1924, [Convention date]. Razors, safety. In a safety razor in which the blade is clamped in a bent condition between a cover plate 1 and a guard plate 9 having grooves along its longitudinal edges under the blade edges, the cover plate is formed with recesses 2 at its longitudinal edges so that when the blade is tightly clamped on the guard 9 it is in contact with the inner edges of the recesses 2 but is free from the edges 3 of the cover plate and can spring upwards; when the blade is less tightly clamped, it contacts with the inner edges of the recesses and the outer edges 3 of the cover plate and is supported at its outer edges. The recesses 2 may be formed by a plate introduced beneath the cover plate. The teeth of the guard plate may be formed so as to leave a longitudinal edge to the guard for scraping. away excess lather. The cover plate and guard may also be formed with central longitudinal re-- cesses so that the guard has longitudinal projections co-operating with longitudinal surfaces or projections on the cover plate to clamp the blade.
Workplace safety and health legislations in the leather Industry

An effective regulatory and legal framework is indispensable for the proper and sustained growth of the company. In rapidly changing national and global business environment, it has become necessary that regulation of corporate entities is in tune with the emerging economic trends. Further, due to continuous increase in the complexities of business operation, the forms of corporate organizations are constantly changing. Various laws have been introduced and amended, from time to time, to bring more transparency and accountability in the provisions for tanneries. The laws have been simplified so that they are amenable to clear interpretation and provide a framework that would facilitate faster economic growth. This paper presents various provisions of U.P. Factories Manual which protect the interests of the labour and other investors and stakeholders.
Visual notify - improving deaf people's life

Visualfy is developing a suite of smartphone Apps, through which it enables people with hearing deficiencies to more seamlessly interact with their environment. Visualfy’s current minimum viable product (MVP) allows Smartphone events, such as incoming (Video)-Calls, E-mail, and Whatsapp, to be linked to different screen-flash and vibration patterns, to notify a deaf person. Therewith, the MVP solves one of several key problems. Validation of the MVP is currently under way, with early positive responses reflected through currently 5000 customers, with around 200 new customers joining per week.

It is clear that deafness can cause all kind of problems in daily life, like not being able to note alarm sounds, or simply problems with inter human communication. It is less well known that people with pre-lingual deafness (deafness before the acquisition of language) have difficulties to develop a spoken language and even to read and write, as these capabilities are tightly intervened with the formation of language (think of the spoken word forming in your brain while reading). According to the World Health Organization, partial hearing loss affects about 360 million people worldwide, 0.1% being pre-lingual. Considering at the same time a dramatically growing Smartphone penetration, even in poorer societies, establishes a growing market environment.

Initial sales of the MVP are qualitatively validating one key customer problem, and the market seems ripe for disruptive innovation, allowing the introduction of Visualfy’s Smart Space Concepts to “Improve Deaf People’s Life”.

Energy potential from residual biomass towards meeting the EU renewable energy and climate targets. The Italian case

Abstract The biomass sector has a strategic role in energy renewables policy, according to the National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs), elaborated in compliance with the Directive 2009/28/EC. Planning a suitable use of biomass for energy purposes call for the clear definition of the biomass potential, that has to be periodically updated by inventories for all EU countries. The aim of this paper has been the assessment of the available residual biomass, particularly lignocellulosic, in the Italian territory, to evaluate the potential for bioenergy, particularly for electricity and heat generation. The greenhouse gas savings according to the European target and indicators have been estimated on the national scale. Particularly, the total final energy which could be generated from 22,208,455 t/y of residual biomass assessed in Italy, is equal to 4.57 Mtoe, nearly 2.7% of the gross Italian energy consumption in 2013 and the total savings of GHG emissions coming from this bioenergy generation, are close to 52 Mt CO 2 eq for the entire Italian territory per year. The conclusions underline that an appropriate bioenergy policy can help decarbonise the economy, enhance the reliability of the energy supply and additionally it can revitalise rural areas.
Multi-objective optimization model based on steady degree for teaching building evacuation

In this paper, the process of evacuation in teaching building is considered. The concept of steady degree based on cellular automata and potential field is introduced and it can describe the behavior tendency of evacuees during the evacuation process. With the help of steady degree, the model simulates the indoor evacuation behavior. To reduce the congestion and evacuation time, a multi-objective optimization model considering steady degree and evacuation clearance time is proposed. Finally, an experiment in the Teaching Building No.1 of Wuhan University of Technology is carried out. The results show that this model can reduce the clearance time of emergency evacuation in teaching building compared to other models.
INNOCOMMERCE - L´INNOVATION APPLIQUÉE AU DÉVELOPPEMENT DU PETIT COMMERCE DANS L´UE

The commercial sector faces great challenges for the future. Small business requires training and research that is more appropriate to its specific needs. The sector needs support from the public administration in order to continue its activity, which is currently endangered by the aggressive expansion of large retail outlets, and the different parties involved should work together more. The problems of adaptation that the sector faces are serious, as are the consequences. It should not be forgotten that trade can help to integrate urban areas. If there is no trade, there will no longer be town centres and, if there is no activity, towns will cease to exist. In this context, this project aims to provide the necessary tools to small traders to prevent them from losing commercial activity and to increase their competitiveness. Overall objective / Objectif général The main objective is to strengthen competitiveness in a major sector for job creation while contributing to land planning for urban areas and for town centres. Since different regions have different objectives, we have a lot to learn from each other. The INTERREG IIIC programme in the South zone should provide added impetus to commerce. Another important objective is to involve different institutions and organisations in this common project in which inter-regional cooperation is a key element. Expected results / Résultats attendus Two methodologies will be used to analyse supply and demand for trade as well as innovative elements. Moreover, about ten surveys will be conducted on both regional and local levels in order to make comparisons and reach joint conclusions. Two documents will be drawn up for submission to Brussels to explain the needs of the commercial sector: Innovation in commercial training, and a Guide to Good Practices. Five pilot projects will be set up in Toulouse, Carrefour Liguria, Alicante, Murcia and TCM Brussels, and an association for innovation in commerce will be created.
Analysis of forest potential fire environment based on GIS and RS

Forest fires cause a significant damage for public property by destroying a large tract of forest. Forest fire risk assessment, which based on an integrated index, becomes an important tool for forest fires management. The integrated index includes the information about fuel, topography and weather condition which constitute potential fire environment together. The fuel and weather condition are essential for forest fire occurrence, so the main potential fire environment parameters in the process of the forest fire risk assessment are temperature, fuel moisture content and vegetation status. The environment parameters data for traditional forest fire risk assessment were always obtained from the weather station, but these data are kind of point data. We must interpolate these point data into two-dimension continuous data, but existing interpolating methods produce larger error which we cannot accept if the number of the weather stations is very sparse in study area. Otherwise, not only the current environment status affects the assessment result but the cumulative effect of potential fire environment over longer period before fire event also contributes to the current potential fire environment, which has not been discussed in detail. RS and GIS technology, which can provide time series of continuous data and advanced data processing methods, becomes a viable avenue for providing accurate potential fire environment parameters data for forest fire risk assessment. In this paper, Land Surface Temperature (LST), Fuel Moisture Content (FMC) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) were used to indicate the potential fire environment. We analyzed the cumulative effect of potential fire environment over one-month period before each of the typical historical forest fires occurrence from the year of 2000 to 2006. The analysis showed that the cumulative effect of the potential fire environment plays positive role on the fire occurrence, especially the cumulative effect of LST. 73% of the Accumulated Land Surface Temperature Departure (ALSTD) is plus over one-month period. Therefore, the variation character of potential fire environment parameters before forest fire occurrence will provide much useful reference information for forest fire risk assessment.
Panatomy

Panatomy: Revolutionizing radiology through digital diagnoses
Panatomy is a breakthrough support software program for medical imaging specialists, providing the first interactive image-based diagnostic reference system for radiology. By increasing diagnosis speed, Panatomy boosts doctors’ capacities and saves lives.
Across all medical fields there is an increasing demand for visual diagnostics including CT and MRI scans, resulting in waiting lists for radiologic services. But while most medical professions have a digital reference system, radiology does not. Instead, radiologists must rely on print-based books or text-based web databases to research and diagnose.
Panatomy fills this void by providing an interactive viewer software tool connected to a state-of-the-art database with the most extensive library of pathological images to date. Using Panatomy, radiologists can simply compare a patient’s MRI or CT scan against images of anatomical structure and pathological case images. This enables radiologists to make faster and more accurate diagnoses, with an increased capacity of up to 15% in trials.
Panatomy has been developed by a highly qualified team that includes medical doctors, lawyers, technologists and business experts based at the renowned Charite University Hospital in Berlin, home to the biggest radiology department in Europe.
Panatomy will now undertake a feasibility study to prove the technical and commercial viability of the existing product, verify business assumptions, and plan for pan-European expansion. As a result, Panatomy will be positioned to exploit the full potential of its highly innovative product, and enhance the quality of radiologic health care across Europe and beyond.
Fusion-To-Fossil heat exchanger for supercritical power plants

Established in 1971, our company LEADING METAL MECHANIC SOLUTIONS S.L. is a Spanish specialist in design, development and manufacturing of precision components (machined, welded, forged or casted). In recent years, we have directed our business strategy to technology and knowledge-intensive sectors – Oil & Gas, Power plants, Airspace and Defense – where we have been continually striving to get involved in highly innovative projects, large-scale scientific initiatives and new materials. 

We have successfully participated in the ITER project to manufacture the First Wall panels and their associated Super-Efficient Heat Exchanger. After several years of R&D work in efficient heat exchangers, we have developed an innovative “Fusion-to-Fossil heat exchanger” prototype to be integrated in Boiler Circulating Pumps (BCPs). BCPs are indeed a key component for Supercritical Coal Power Plants, which have become the system of choice in most industrialized countries due to their high efficiency (40-45%). BCPs are required in all coal power plants in order to circulate water within the boiler to enhance boiler operation. They are designed for high temperatures and high pressure, and they have the highest power demand (3.5-3.9% of the rated generator capacity) of all the auxiliary devices in a coal power plant. 

Listening to the power plant and energy market and the evolution of its requirements via our customers, we have identified a clear need in higher efficiency and cost optimization for their products. With our “Fusion-to-Fossil heat exchanger” F2F project, we are offering our existing BCP customers and potential customers in other sectors (e.g. petrochemical) an innovative technology achieving a 10-15% increase in system efficiency and a cost savings of up to 30%. With F2F, we will be able to significantly consolidate our market share in the energy sector (+€24Million of revenues within 5 years of exploitation) while increasing the competitiveness of our EU customers.

NaNet: a configurable NIC bridging the gap between HPC and real-time HEP GPU computing

NaNet is a FPGA-based PCIe Network Interface Card (NIC) design with GPUDirect and Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) capabilities featuring a configurable and extensible set of network channels. The design currently supports both standard—Gbe (1000BASE-T) and 10GbE (10Base-R)—and custom—34 Gbps APElink and 2.5 Gbps deterministic latency KM3link—channels, but its modularity allows for straightforward inclusion of other link technologies. The GPUDirect feature combined with a transport layer offload module and a data stream processing stage makes NaNet a low-latency NIC suitable for real-time GPU processing. In this paper we describe the NaNet architecture and its performances, exhibiting two of its use cases: the GPU-based low-level trigger for the RICH detector in the NA62 experiment at CERN and the on-/off-shore data transport system for the KM3NeT-IT underwater neutrino telescope.
