CFEM and UBS AI & Data Research Seminars: Nicole Königstein (quantmate)
Welcome back to the Spring 2025 edition of the CFEM and UBS AI & Data Research Seminars! We are kicking off this semester with Nicole Königstein of quantmate, who will discuss the topic of “Beyond Chatbots: Financial Innovation and Data Analysis with Agentic LLMs.” Join us for this special occasion on Tuesday, Feb. 18th, at 6pm ET!
This event is free and open to all. Registration is required (RSVP). You will receive the webinar link upon registration.
Abstract: This session explores the transformative potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) in finance, moving beyond basic chatbot applications. Innovative architectures, including multi-agent systems, LangGraph frameworks, and advanced reasoning techniques like Language Agent Tree Search (LATS), will be covered to demonstrate how LLMs unify reasoning, acting, and planning to enhance decision-making in financial domains.
Practical use cases, such as sentiment analysis, technical analysis, and investment report generation, will illustrate the application of supervisor-agent architectures tailored for complex asset evaluations. Attendees will leave with actionable insights to implement cutting-edge LLM technologies for data-driven financial strategies.
