New York, NY, December 15, 2021 – dxFeed, a leading data solutions and index management provider for the global financial industry, both traditional and crypto, challenged the guests of the Signature Art Basel VIP Networking Reception to distinguish art created by humans from art created by sophisticated Big Data-driven Artificial Intelligence algorithms.

How Exchanges and Data Providers are Prioritizing Cloud and AI for Internal Insights
In this webinar, we will review the latest trends on how exchanges, trading systems and data providers use cloud and AI to produce data insights for their own consumption. First, David Easthope will provide an overview about insights derived from a recent Coalition Greenwich and Google Cloud white paper on the topic. This will be followed by a fireside chat of industry leaders.
Topics covered will include: Current focus areas – internal insight workloads (e.g., data transmission, processing, analysis and long-term storage) vs. internal services (e.g., monitoring and surveillance). Planned public cloud workloads for the next 12 months – data mining, data insights, advanced analytics, and building a multicloud foundation on public cloud AI/ML plans for the next 12 months – faster analytics, risk reviews, and data quality maintenance
Alternative Data Lifestyle Capturing Alpha in APAC
We used to say “news moves markets.” But can you fill in the idea-generation gaps when there is no news, or economic releases? Is Alt Data in Asia/Pacific maturing to the point where one can process events – regularly – with a high degree of success (alpha)? Who in the region is providing Alt Data and the associated curation technology, how is the data sourced; what’s the take-up been like?
What’s the performance track record for Alt Data in Asia/Pacific? Who’s using it?
How has COVID-19 impacted Alt Data? Are Alt Data consumer spending products collecting e-commerce transactions?
Curation and processing alternatives: what is provided “as a Service”; can it be combined with other KPI data – easily?
Can Alt Data providers generate “panic indexes”?
Where can APAC Alt Data be acquired: Alt Data “boutiques”, Data Vendors, Data Marketplaces(DMs)?
