Prevention of Financial Crisis with Artificial Intelligence: a Public Policy Perspective Presenter: Ana Cristina Becker, MSc student at LSE GC LH Seminar Room 2 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM, 24th June 2025
Abstract:
Artificial intelligence has become indispensable in finance, with over 80% of companies using it to drive decision-making and manage risk. For governments, however, the adoption of AI in financial crisis prevention remains limited, leading to information asymmetries and outdated data management that hinder timely responses to emerging risks. This presentation will explore how public policy can support the integration of AI in governmental frameworks to monitor exogenous risks—like global market shocks—and endogenous threats stemming from internal economic imbalances. By advancing AI-driven tools for real-time risk assessment, governments can create a proactive crisis-prevention strategy, aligning public sector capabilities with those of the private sector to safeguard economic stability.
Speaker Biography: Ana is a political scientist, Master in Public Policy (MPP) candidate at LSE, and Chevening Scholar from Argentina, where she worked as a Chief of Staff and Advisor in the National Congress. She is passionate about bridging the gap between science and government and implementing technology and innovation to reduce inequality. You will also find her enjoying tennis, football, yoga or exploring how art connects us to social issues and human nature. Originally from northern Argentina, she moved to Bs As to graduate from the University of San Andrés.
Applications of ML/AI in public policy Presenter: Camelia Abdelgelil & Emilio Gonzalez, students at LSE GC Small Common Room 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM, 1st April 2025
PCNportal: an online app for normative modelling of brain imaging for accelerating mental
health research, Presenter: Pieter Barkema, PhD student at UCL GC Churchill Room 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM, 4th Feb 2025
Abstract:
Webpage -->
Our Predictive Clinical Neuroscience group at the Donders Institute and RadboudUMC develops normative models to predict and stratify brain disorders on the basis of neuroimaging data, and you can now make use of those models for your research in the click of a button with PCNportal (Barkema et al., 2023).
Port Talk: Geometry and Illumination in Computer Vision Presenter: Dr. Tuanfeng Y. Wang, Research Scientist at Adobe Research GC Churchill Room 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM, 5th Nov 2024
Abstract:
The reason we see a colorful world is due to the magnificent interaction between geometry, surface material, and the paths of light. Join me in exploring how we digitally model this by understanding the geometry, reflection, and illumination, from 2D images, through the power of machine intelligence.
Applications in computational light Presenter: Ziyang Chen, PhD student at UCL GC LH Small Commom Room 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM, 4th Nov 2024
Abstract:
My research bridges computational science and optical physics to advance the fields of computational imaging and computer-generated holography (CGH). I'll present two key projects that demonstrate this intersection: First, my completed work on leveraging speckle patterns for precise pose tracking, which exemplifies how computational methods can extract meaningful information from complex optical phenomena. Second, I'll discuss my current research addressing the etendue limitations in computer-generated holography—a fundamental challenge that sits at the crossroads of optical physics and computational display technology. This work highlights how merging computational and optical approaches can help overcome traditional limitations in imaging and display systems.
