Mathematical models are extensively used by financial institutions for various purposes such as to run the business or to fulfill regulatory requirements. Among the most critical usage of mathematical models is the evaluation of a bank’s financial health and its ability to sustain adverse economic scenarios. Mathematical models are also used to perform credit underwriting, portfolio management, derivative valuation and pricing, risk measurement and to prevent financial crime.
Historically, banks have employed traditional mathematical and statistical models. More recently, machine learning algorithms have gained strong adoption particularly due to their ability to deal with very large structured and unstructured data sets. In this talk, I will discuss the breadth of mathematical modeling applications in financial institutions, the role of machine and deep learning, and current challenges.
