4th International Conference on Computational and Data Sciences in Economics and Finance (CDEF 2026)
Overview
With the recent development of informatics and AI technologies, they now play a key role in financial markets and economics. For example, for analyzing a large amount of financial information, computational informatics is necessary to handle them. Moreover, artificial market simulations, computational economics, natural language processing including large language models for finance and economics, and deep learning applications for many financial-related and economics-related challenges are also popular. More recently, alternative data exploration for wider informatics approaches is also gaining popularity in the financial and economic industries. Those new technologies have been developed not only by academic researchers but also by market participants. For more development, the collaboration of many participants having various backgrounds is now necessary. In this conference, we aim to give them the specialized opportunity to gather and discuss new challenges in finance and economics.
