My research delves into devising groundbreaking approaches for Quantitative Finance and agricultural dilemmas, utilizing causal AI and NLP to unravel the nuances of decision-making paradigms.

I spearhead a team dedicated to creating a versatile, scalable, and self-sufficient trading platform. We utilize cutting-edge machine learning methodologies to refine and automate distinct facets of quantitative trading strategies. Our primary focus lies in market-making and exploiting arbitrage windows across both equity and digital currency markets. I am currently seeking driven students with a focus on Causal AI and NLP to collaborate on this pioneering venture. Should this resonate with your academic and research aspirations, I encourage you to reach out to me and attach your CV via email.

Skills and Knowledge Prerequisites: This project demands a robust command of programming languages, notably C++ and Python, complemented by a comprehensive grasp of probability and statistics. A high academic standing would be advantageous.

News:

One paper titled "Semantic Role Labeling Guided Out-of-Distribution Detection"  for NLP systems was accepted by the International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING-2024).

One paper "A Generative Approach for Comprehensive Financial Event Extraction at the Document Level" was accepted by the International Conference on AI in Finance (ICAIF-23). https://ai-finance.org/icaif-23-accepted-papers/
