AI reshaping financial modeling
A new survey finds artificial intelligence, especially natural language processing, is reshaping financial modeling by improving classic models like the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), Markowitz Mean-Variance Optimization, and Black-Litterman Model. AI uses data from news and social media to adjust variables such as expected returns and risk. Notably, sentiment analysis creates models that reflect investor mood and market anomalies. The study urges more research on ethical issues and broader AI integration beyond sentiment analysis.
What it examines
This survey explores how artificial intelligence, especially natural language processing, can improve traditional financial models like CAPM, MVO, and BLM. Instead of replacing these models, AI is used to add new data sources and recalibrate key variables, making financial predictions more accurate and interpretable.
What it concludes
AI-enhanced financial models offer better predictions and risk management by using new data like news and social media. These methods help investors make smarter decisions and adapt to changing markets. Future research should address ethical issues, data quality, and expand AI applications beyond sentiment analysis for broader financial use-cases.
