Amazon.com description: Product Description: Unlike other books on artificial intelligence which emphasize theory, Artificial Intelligence in the Capital markets is eminently practical. Not only does it describe actual applications, it provides a wealth of information about systems design, software products, and leading consulting firms in the industry. Comprehensive and authoritative, the book covers the entire AI field from the perspective of an existing or prospective user of AI technologies. Some of the applications highlighted in the breakthrough book include: fidelity investments applying neural networks to stock selection; hedge fund manager James O'Sullivan using neural networks to filter information and identify investment opportunities; Lehman Brothers designing an "intelligent infrastructure" for its front office.
