【2020 Solutions】 Robot financial management helps investors balance risks and profits

In the era of "if you don't manage your money, money will not care about you", how to avoid the risks of the investment market and grasp investment returns has become the biggest hope of investors. In order to overcome the human weaknesses of greed and fear, financial management robots developed through AI algorithms can help investors avoid disasters and enjoy fruitful profits in the treacherous and ever-changing financial market.

On March 17, 2020, affected by the global spread of the new coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19, also known as Wuhan pneumonia), the U.S. stock market continued to plummet after opening, triggering the third circuit breaker in the U.S. stock market, which was also the fourth in history. After the circuit breaker, investors in the securities market were in distress and could not even escape for their lives. Before that, the financial management robot had suggested adjusting the proportion of stocks and bonds, reducing the proportion of high-risk stocks, increasing the proportion of relatively safe bonds, and adding high risk aversion Gold and other combinations enable investors to effectively reduce investment risks and losses.

Robotic financial management has two service models: B2B and B2C

The robot financial management service provided by Leading Information Technology Company provides investors with a stable financial management tool. Peng Hansheng, co-founder and CEO of Leading Information Technology, said that Leading Information Technology currently provides two service models. The first is the Taiwan B2B model, which is to cooperate with domestic financial institutions to provide robot financial algorithm engines, Artificial intelligence market prediction engine, jointly launch robot financial management services; the other is an American B2C model, aiming to serve Chinese American customers, self-developed intelligent financial management APP Growin, using AI and quantitative models to provide customized investment and financial management in ETFs and individual stocks. Serve.

Among them, due to restrictions on regulations, the B2B financial management robot launched by Leading in Taiwan is cooperating with the domestic financial industry, including banks, insurance, etc. Currently Leading's partners include an investment advisory and credit company, and a life insurance company. The company and two banks provide customer financial management robots as a trading tool that consumers can rely on.

In addition, Taiwan's leader in the information service industry - Jingcheng Information provides diversified financial information services to financial institutions. Liding also provides investors with investment portfolio recommendations for smart financial management by connecting APIs to the Jingcheng Information system.

The financial regulations in the United States are relatively mature, allowing companies to set up online investment advisory companies. Liding connects with the U.S. brokerage system through APIs, and the partner is Interactive Brokers, the largest and No. 1 company in the United States. Broker), providing direct consumer services. Interactive Brokers customers can place orders directly through the APP and enjoy the services of the financial management robot. The iOS version is currently available for download. The robot financial management platform charges a management fee of 0.5%-1% of the investment amount every year. There are 10 investment portfolios for consumers to choose from. Stocks with high investment returns have higher management fees. If you choose relatively stable ETFs, the fees will be Less expensive.

The services of Liding Financial Management Robot are mainly focused on medium and long-term investment. Taking the United States as an example, the investment targets include 5,000 stocks and 2,000 ETFs in the U.S. market. Among them, the average investment return rate based on different risk investment portfolios is 4.5%. -18% or so, and ETF is between 4.5% and 9%. Introducing AI algorithms into investment and financial management can not only significantly reduce the impact of human emotions, but also enable disciplined execution of every investment decision, more effective prediction of the market, and immediate response to its trends.

Take the global stock market crash triggered by the impact of the new coronavirus as an example. The original investment portfolio of the financial management robot had a stock and bond ratio of 7 to 3 respectively. Shortly after the global stock market crash, it automatically reversed and adjusted to 3 to 7, that is, to increase the bond ratio. Proportion, reduce the proportion of stocks to avoid high investment risks. Peng Hansheng said that the financial management robot uses AI technology models to gather 18 important global market indicators and economic trend forecasts for the next 1-3 months. It can provide reversal suggestions when the market is about to fall sharply and avoid high investment risks. Therefore, in The losses were relatively minor amid a sharp decline in global stock markets. However, relatively speaking, when global stock markets rose sharply in April, the growth rate of financial management robots was relatively small, which is suitable for steady financial investors who pursue long-term performance.

Peng Hansheng said that investor financial management through AI algorithms can overcome the investment mistakes that ordinary investors are easily affected by emotions, news or irrational selling. At the same time, in the form of a basket investment portfolio, It can also effectively diversify risks and reduce investment losses.

Integrated learning concepts can achieve dynamic asset allocation effects

return on investment. The so-called "ensemble learning" solves a single prediction problem by building a combination of several models. Its working principle is to build multiple classifiers/models on the data set, each independently learn and make predictions, and these predictions are finally combined into a single prediction. The predictions are therefore better than those made by any single classifier.

In addition, using an "unsupervised" training and learning method, also known as "Hierarchical Clustering", the system will automatically classify the investment targets within the target range every month, allowing the machine to learn Financial report information, value investment, and then improve operational performance.

The choice of robot financial management as an entrepreneurial theme is mainly related to Peng Hansheng's financial engineering background. He graduated from the Department of Finance at Tsinghua University and later went to Columbia University to study financial mathematics. After graduation, he entered Wall Street to engage in quantitative trading 2-3 year time. Three years ago, after witnessing the sudden ups and downs of the stock market and investors' irrational pursuit of highs and lows, resulting in investment failures, Peng Hansheng decided to contribute what he had learned to Taiwanese society and founded Liding Information Technology Company, specializing in robot financial services. It is hoped that through the new smart financial management method driven by AI, it can help investors avoid bad luck and manage their finances steadily.

The most difficult thing about promoting AI financial management is that according to statistics, when financial management robots make investment portfolio recommendations, up to 40% of investors do not follow them, unable to overcome human weaknesses, and the final result is a losing position. getting bigger. In addition, in the B2B robot financial management market, the business logic of banks and insurance industries is different from that of financial management robots. For example, banks specialize in wealth management, and high-end customers usually prefer direct service from financial specialists and do not like to interact with machines. Therefore, promotion in the banking industry is difficult. In the future, bank financial professionals or securities traders will be targeted, making the financial management robot an investment advice auxiliary tool for financial professionals and stock traders.

AI Smart Health Prevention Plan

Herji Ltd held an interactive teaching session with AI storybooks at the 'Taiwan Early Childhood Development and Remedial Association Taitung Office', allowing children, teachers, and parents to engage in immersive educational experiences AI-generated children's educational storybook materials AI Learning Platform In recent years, changes in the social structure of Taiwan, combined with experiences in hospital emergency departments, have often led us to overlook the depressive symptoms exhibited by adolescents, resulting in tragic incidents of self-harm or even suicide among children A significant part of children's depression stems from their academic performance, with parents worrying about their children's future competitiveness, thus placing a lot of pressure on children who perform poorly academically In a family with two children with the same genetic background and provided with the same resources for growth, we often find that the second child's academic performance is not up to par, with poor grades, an inability to concentrate in class, and even lacking the patience and perseverance to finish reading a comic book or playing a video game We have been exploring why these differences occur and discovered that these issues often arise from undiagnosed learning disabilities during early childhood Due to environmental factors, children with delayed learning abilities are often not acknowledged by over 80 of parents who are reluctant to seek treatment for their children, primarily fearing that their child will be labeled as delayed As a result, the child's learning ability is hindered from an early age, with their academic struggles increasing as they enter primary and secondary school, leading to greater academic lag, frustration from parents, struggles from the child, and increased family disputes If tutoring does not yield effective results, expenditure without achieving positive outcomes often leads to further family conflicts, creating a vicious cycle that accumulates a lot of negative emotions in children during their developmental process, which in turn affects various factors impacting their health In reality, the main reasons behind a child's poor academic performance, inability to learn, lack of interest in learning new things, or even developing health-impacting psychological conditions, actually stem from accumulated learning delays during early childhood The period before the age of six is considered the golden window for treating learning delays If these can be identified and addressed during this time, there is a chance that the child's learning abilities can be greatly improved10The industry's current pain points are as follows 1Lack of methodologies for assessing learning abilitiesLack of databases for sample comparisons in the market 2Traditional parental misconceptionsFear of labeling and treatment delays for mild to moderate cases 3Lack of therapeutic materials and toolsShortage of therapeutic storybooks and series courses This project will develop a national talent development support system, utilizing AI Technological development of a system for assessing children's learning abilities that supports parents in safeguarding their children's health from the start of learning ability testing, offering early detection and treatment In the future, all Taiwanese children, regardless of background, will be able to establish a healthy foundation in early childhood, growing up to become valuable assets for national development 2、 As proposed in this planAIApplications and explanations 'Child Language Ability'AI'Analysis Model' This model quantitatively analyzes 'the condition of children's use of Mandarin' when 'expressing an event' Scenario Preschool teachers guide children in narrating storybook contentAITools analyze the sentences used by children to describe storybook content, applying statistical algorithms for quantitative analysis Analysis indicators include 'sentence type' and 'lexical items' Analysis aspects include correctness of sentence structures, diversity of vocabulary, quantity of vocabulary used, and accuracy of vocabulary usage Application Comparative analysis between an individual child and peers' language abilities can offer more detailed language skills teaching by preschool teachers Techniques used Chinese word segmentation, Chinese POS tagging, Chinese syntactic rules analysis algorithm, and quantitative analysis algorithms Tools usedChinese word segmentation tools, POS tagging toolsChinese POS Tagging Tool 3、 Expected Industrial Value Establish a learning ability assessment and support system, through therapeutic storybooks and courses Collaborate with kindergartens to develop learning ability bases, preventing children from being stuck at the starting point Alongside parents, protect children's health starting with learning ability testing, backed by a robust database, allowing parents to identify early any delays in learning, helping children regain their learning abilities 4、 Expected Industrial Benefits Economic Benefit and Future Spread and Impetus By supporting children with delayed learning abilities, enhancing their learning prowess through this project, these children serve as the future of our nation and can thus significantly contribute to national talent development Furthermore, the purpose of establishing a learning ability development base is to help reunite children with their parents, increasing their interaction time, allowing the children to move beyond mere one-dimensional interactions 3C This facilitates two-way interactions between the child and parents, potentially impacting children who may have been otherwise delayed in developing their capabilities due to environmental factors 「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference only Translation date:2024-11-15」

Intelligence provides a solution that integrates software and hardware - BailAI image inspection solution to assist traditional manufacturing industries in improving process efficiency and product quality, thereby achieving the initial goal of transformation After the government declared 2017 to be Taiwan's "First Year of AI," AI startups have sprung up in Taiwan Established in 2018, Claireye Intelligence targets smart manufacturing and provides a platform for AI image analysis and process optimization, using the power of deep learning to detect product defects and abnormalities in the assembly process It assists companies in building infrastructure from terminals to the cloud, which enables automated monitoring of factory production to improve process efficiency and quality Focusing on AI image inspection based on its familiarity with the production line quality control process Shirley Liu, founder and CEO of Claireye Intelligence, is a young entrepreneur She entered the manufacturing industry after graduating from college and held a quality control position in the plastic injection process of hard disk parts "She was already on the production line at the time, and is familiar with the production line process of production machinery" She later switched career paths to marketing and planning, and then worked as an AI product manager When the time came, Shirley Liu decided to start a business, focusing on AI image recognition in the manufacturing industry "The difficulty for enterprises is the lack of an AI development team Even if an enterprise has an AI team, development projects will take a lot of time, at least 6-12 months" said Shirley Liu, who is well versed in the market's pain points The problem that needs to be solved by platforms is to provide services that allow traditional manufacturing industries to build their own AI models without needing employees with a programming background, and to remotely assist production lines with troubleshooting and subsequent system maintenance, helping companies save development time and labor costs BailAI image inspection platform usage scenarios Facing the large number of competitors that provide AI image recognition in the market, what are the technical advantages of Claireye Intelligence Shirley Liu said that many companies currently have AOI equipment, but the bottleneck in the application of AOI is that it can only be used for defect inspection in fast production of large quantities, and parameters need to be adjusted after each inspection or production Based on her understanding of the industry, most SMEs are limited by their financial resources due to AOI equipment often costing over NT1 million, but they also want to use automated inspection This is where Claireye Intelligence comes in Shirley Liu went on to say that it is impossible for traditional manufacturing industries to maintain a technical team that includes AI engineers, data engineers, cloud architects, and terminal architects Claireye Intelligence specializes in software and hardware integration Enterprises can use the BailAI image inspection platform to easily solve inspection problems on the production line In other words, customers only need to provide images or samples for Claireye Intelligence to carry out model training, model deployment, and system integration, and they can easily use AI technology to optimize and monitor production line processes Participated in the AI New Talent Selection and achieved a recognition rate of over 90 in assembly behavioral image recognition For example, a certain connector manufacturer only has 1-2 AI engineers in its technical team The main problem that needs to be solved is that most operators are on the production line, while quality control and senior managers are not on site, and the company wants to understand the actual situation of the production line through remote monitoring Claireye Intelligence uses industrial cameras to capture production line images, and transmits AI image analysis to the remote end Supervisors and quality control personnel can observe if there are any errors in the production line assembly, such as whether the connectors and lines are connected properly, through the monitor Claireye Intelligence's AI image inspection operates on Microsoft's Azure cloud platform, and also utilizes terminal equipment, such as NVIDIA's edge computing equipment placed around the inspection station, to assist traditional manufacturing industries with improving production line efficiency and detecting problems early through an integrated solution from the cloud to terminals Claireye Intelligencersquos customers currently include aviation, electronic peripherals, connectors, and metal industries Assembly process solution for human behavior recognition in assembly lines achieves an accuracy of over 90 In order to demonstrate the depth of technology, Claireye Intelligence participated in the 2021 AI New Talents Selection of the Industrial Development Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs, and provided Lite-On Technology with the "assembly process solution for human behavior recognition in assembly lines" The solution determines effective working hours and ineffective working hours of operators on the production line through cameras and AI image recognition It recognizes hand posture and position through images to determine the operator's assembly behavior, achieving an accuracy of over 90 Shirley Liu added that the assembly process of electronic components is complex, mostly carried out manually, and cannot be replaced by robotic arms Claireye Intelligence used cameras to film the assembly process of operators at Lite-On's assembly station The algorithm is then trained and corrected based on the video, and the final trained model can directly determine whether there are any errors in the assembly process to improve the overall process Project development time is expected to be shortened to 1 month by using the BailAI image inspection platform Since its establishment more than three years ago, Claireye Intelligence has accumulated a considerable amount of project experience and hopes to commercialize the project experience Shirley Liu pointed out that the trial version of BailAI image inspection will be completed this year 2022 Customers can choose industrial cameras or video cameras based on the detail of the object being inspected It can even use X-rays to capture images, and then the images are automatically marked by the platform Claireye Intelligence will provide customers with AI application models suitable for the field Inferences can also be made in the cloud or terminals for launch in the manufacturing industry The metals industry, metal casings of industrial computers, connectors, electronic peripherals, and mechanical parts can all use the platform for defect detection and object identification Claireye Intelligence will continue to improve its technical capabilities, accumulate customer experience to complete commercialization, and also accelerate the implementation of AI inspection applications In the mid-term, it will build terminal and cloud infrastructure and shorten the development time of enterprise AI projects from 6-12 months to 1 month, reducing usage time and lowering the threshold for

Complete checkout in 1 second, Viscovery AI image recognition assists smart retail

Artificial intelligence AI has gradually changed the way various industries operate in recent years However, most of the work is still done by humans, with AI playing a supporting role This has led to emergence of the term "AI Copilot," which stands for "AI-driven tools or assistants" that aim to assist users in completing various tasks and improve productivity and efficiency The concept of AI Copilot comes from the role of "co-pilot" During flight, the co-pilot assists the main pilot in completing various tasks to ensure flight safety and efficiency In fact, there have been signs of various "machines" beginning to play the role of "copilot" in different fields since the Industrial Revolution, assisting humans in completing heavy physical and repetitive tasks, greatly improving factory production efficiency, and driving rapid economic development Following the advancement of computing equipment and breakthroughs in machine learning, deep learning, and image recognition technologies, the concept of AI Copilot has gradually taken shape The development of AI Copilot marks the transition from "machine-assisted to AI-assisted" Early robots could only complete preset repetitive tasks, but today's AI copilot can learn and adapt to new environments and tasks, and continuously optimize its performance in practical applications This transformation not only changes human-machine interactions, but also has a profound impact on various industries The application scope of AI copilot covers various industries, including finance, healthcare, manufacturing, education, retail, etc, and are everywhere to be seen Application of AI copilot in the retail industry AI image recognition checkout In the retail industry, the application of AI copilot has begun to show concrete results Take Viscovery's AI image recognition checkout system as an example This system is a type of AI copilot model that helps store clerks speed up checkout or assists consumers in simplifying the self-service checkout process The store clerk needs to scan the product barcodes one by one in the regular checkout method If a product does not have a barcode, such as bread and meals, the clerk needs to first visually confirm the items, and then input them into the POS checkout system one by one Based on actual measurements at a chain bakery, it takes 22 seconds for an experienced clerk from "visual recognition" to "entering product information of a plate of 6 items into the checkout system" New clerks may need even more time In addition, according to a Japanese bakery operator, it takes 1 to 2 months to train employees to become familiar with products Now with AI image recognition technology, store clerks let AI handle the "product recognition" step, and AI will play the role of copilot, quickly identifying items within 1 second, speeding up checkout to save 50 of checkout time, and optimizing customers'shopping experience The time cost of training employees to identify bread can also be effectively shortened Even for products with barcodes, AI can quickly identify multiple items in one second, which is more efficient than scanning barcodes one by one The self-checkout system "assisted" by AI image recognition allows consumers to successfully complete shopping without the help of store clerks, eliminating the trouble of swiping barcodes or searching for items on the screen, which improves the shopping experience In a time when store clerks are hard to hire due to labor shortage, this also helps stores reduce operating costs AI quickly identifies multiple checkout items in just one second Source of image Viscovery Recently, startups dedicated to developing AI image recognition checkout solutions have emerged in various countries The most lightweight solution currently known is in Taiwan It can be immediately used by installing a Viscovery lens and a tablet installed with Viscovery AI image recognition software at the checkout counter to connect to the store's existing POS checkout system There are various integration methods, including plug-and-play and API solutions integrated with the store's POS system Viscovery AI image recognition system can be painlessly integrated with the store's existing POS system Source of image Viscovery Example of AI image recognition checkout Currently, the Viscovery AI image recognition system is being used in bakery chains in Taiwan, Chinese noodle shops in Singapore, micromarkets in department stores in Sendai, Japan, and Japanese bakeries and cake shops Over 7 million transactions were completed through this AI system, which identified more than 40 million items These use cases demonstrate the extensive application of the Viscovery AI image recognition system in the retail industry In the future, the company will continue to explore the various possibilities of using Vision AI in retail and catering nbsp The Viscovery AI image recognition system is already being used in bakeries, cake shops, restaurants, and convenience stores in Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan Source of image Viscovery
