Overview
Join us for a hands-on workshop in New York City on March 5 that will take you through the complete lifecycle of GenAI models – from development to validation and testing, led by Agus Sudjianto and Arpit Narain.
Transform your understanding of Generative AI model development and validation in this intensive, hands-on workshop designed for quants, data scientists, technical professionals, and risk managers who are interested or involved in model development or validation.
Learning Outcomes will include:
- Practical experience in developing GenAI models
- A thorough understanding of model validation techniques
- The ability to assess and improve model reliability
- Hands-on experience with GenAI tools and methodologies
Participants should bring their own laptops to the workshop to participate fully in the hands-on learning. Professionals who complete this intensive technical workshop will gain the skills needed to develop and validate GenAI models with confidence.
This workshop is followed by the 2025 Financial Risk Symposium, Balancing Act: Addressing Today's Financial and Non-Financial Risks. Symposium registrants first receive a 50% discount to this workshop. More information on the Symposium can be found here.
