Artificial Intelligence in the Capital Markets: State-of-the-Art Applications for Institutional Investors, Bankers & Traders

Roy S. Freedman, Robert A. Klein, and Jess Lederman, Editors

ISBN 1-55738-811-3, 750 pp., 1995. 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 virtually the entire AI field of interest to investors.

Some of the applications highlighted in this 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 and "intelligent infrastructure" for its front office

Featuring contributions from the top practitioners, the book explains the advantages and disadvantages of every major AI technology from the perspective of an existing or prospective user of AI technologies.
