ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE in the field of FINANCE 
Artificial Intelligence is undergoing a second spring at the moment with Natural Language Processing finding ever wider applications in chatbots and other systems, while profiting from improving hardware and Deep Learning conquering the domain of Artificial Neural Networks. The Financial Industry has not ignored that trend, yet it cannot afford to miss a single opportunity of leveraging new developments to its advantage. 
 
Introducing the OBJECTIVES
Our main objectives are to discover and explore disruptive new approaches in the field of finance. We will do so by leveraging the expertise of our participants, mentors and speakers in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Finance. Some topics discussed at our event may include but are not limited to predicting corporate ratings, analysing central bank statements, predicting cryptocurrency prices, stock-picking algorithms, etc. 
 
The EVENT
The event will be hosted on the campus of the Vienna University of Economics and Business!
On FRIDAY we will get togehter at 5pm and listen to our opening keynote and to an introdution from the organizers. After that we will introduce our mentors to you that will provide guidance during the hackathon. Moreover, you are free to pitch your ideas in front of your peers and build a team if you have not joined one yet! >>> Finally the hacking starts.  
SATURDAY will be kicked off with a breakfast. After that you will get together with your team members and continue your work. During the hackathon our mentors will help you with any issues that might arise.
