Sentiment analysis has developed as a technology that applies machine learning and makes a rapid assessment of the sentiments expressed in news releases. News events impact market sen-timent and financial news moves stock prices through a direct impact on a company’s expected future cash flows. This conference presents the current state of the art. It also explains how to ap-ply Sentiment Analysis to the respective models of trading, fund management and risk control. The conference will present in a summary form the research results in this fast-emerging field.

The main goal of the ICE 2013 is to provide an opportunity for academics and professionals from a variety of fields to meet and exchange ideas and expertise.

The goal of this three-day intensive hands-on course is to take a bird-eye look at the design of the QuantLib library as well as its rationale, to examine its implementation, and thus to learn how one's own code can be fitted on top of QuantLib to reuse and benefit from provided functionality.  The course will focus on QuantLib proper, i.e., on the C++ library and won't cover extensions such as the Excel addin. 

This is a practical course for financial market participants.

Money fractures marriages, drives wars, inspires art, motivates some people to great achievements, leads others to despair. Fear, desire, love, hate, jealousy, anger, anxiety, relief, shame and many more shades of emotion may attach to money in the course of an ordinary day.
