15th LCDS meeting connects data science and finance
Data science plays an increasingly important role in the world of finance. During the 15th LCDS meeting, organized by the Leiden Centre of Data Science, several interesting topics in this area were discussed.
Data science and finance are related in many ways: from Financial Shared Services to government finance statistics and taxpayers’ supervision. Speakers from Leiden University, CBS and Belastingdienst elaborated on these topics during the LCDS meeting Big Data & Finance on 26 October 2016.
