Event by DarwinAI, a deep learning startup in Waterloo
by Michael St Jules 21 Sep '18

21 Sep '18

Computer Chess as a Roadmap for Deep Learning Followed by a Grandmaster Simul Thursday, Sept 27th, 2018 @ 5:30pm * DC 1302/Fishbowl In the formative years, the founders of Artificial Intelligence (AI) focused almost all of their efforts on the game of chess. Creating a world class chess-playing machine, it was argued, would demonstrate conclusively that computers could think, could intuit, and might one day feel and emote like their creators. Why did chess appeal to the first AI developers? Mainly because the complexities of the game necessitated the first heuristic algorithms: a way of orienting a continuously changing situation with many factors that could not be subjected to mechanical analysis. In this talk, DarwinAI CEO Sheldon Fernandez will demonstrate how progress in this area – from the first, horribly weak programs to world class playing machines – echoes the trends we are now seeing in the realms of Machine Intelligence and Deep Learning. And, in keeping with the ‘chessic’ trend of an evening, we have arranged for a fun twist as following the talk, Mark Bluvshtein, the youngest grandmaster in Canadian history, will give a ‘simul’ in which he’ll play 12-15 opponents at the same time. So exercise your technical and game-playing muscle and join us for what promises to be an enjoyable evening! Register at goo.gl/PHFrZj<https://goo.gl/PHFrZj> and email info(a)darwinai.ca<mailto:info@darwinai.ca> to participate in the simul. Free pizza will be provided.

As a hands-on leader, Michael was instrumental in the development of many trading strategies as well as the underlying architecture and code. *Ben Blander* - former head of Citadel’s high frequency group and a key contributor in growing their P&L from $75 million in 2005 to $1.15 billion in 2008 (Source: http://www.cnbc.com/id/39099331) Previously Ben earned a PhD in Math from the University of Chicago. -------------------------- Our culture of openness* (you'd have complete access to our code, data, and strategies)* enables fast turnaround from idea inception to execution, and continuous enhancement of our cutting-edge proprietary technology and automated research platform. Having a technologist as an equal partner in the firm gives us an appreciation and understanding of how much impact technologists can have to the bottom line, so we're excited to throw a ton of responsibility at new grads, provide complete access to our entire stack, mentorship from industry leading technologists, and top tier compensation. Over the past two seasons, we've added a total of 13 grad students from Princeton, Columbia, Harvard, MIT, Penn, UChicago, Cambridge, and Georgia Tech. ------------------------------ WHY TRADING? ------------------------------ If you want to work on cutting-edge technology to solve really tough problems, while getting near-immediate feedback on your best ideas, the trading industry is hard to beat. Every day we’re competing with some of the smartest, most driven people in the world trying to take your money -- and if you don’t stay at the very top of your game in research, technology, and economics, they will. And while the highly-publicized wave of high-frequency or “flash” trading based on sheer speed of execution might have reached its limit, we see continued opportunities with our strategy of using statistical research to outsmart the competition. ------------------------------ JOB DESCRIPTION ------------------------------ As an incoming technologist, your goal is to enhance alpha generation and improve the research infrastructure through technology innovation. You'll also be expected to have a strong interest in understanding and contributing to our trading strategies. COMPENSATION – Competitive salary, plus quarterly bonus based on individual performance and contribution towards success of others and the firm. ------------------------------ QUALIFICATIONS ------------------------------ We’re looking for highly analytical people (computer science, math, electrical engineering, etc.) who want to help build the research-driven trading firm of the future. And to do that, you’ll need the following qualities: > Persistent Drive to Improve - Do you have an innate desire to rise to the next level, even after great accomplishment? Our people have been very successful in their careers elsewhere and are joining Radix to make even more impact. > Creative Problem Solving and Probabilistic Thinking - You must enjoy learning and implementing new concepts quickly, combining knowledge from different domains to create new ideas, and take a data-driven and probabilistic approach to testing and implementing new ideas. > Team Mindset - We want people who understand 1+1 > 2 and are as committed to making the team better through sharing ideas as they are driven to improve their individual performance. > Mental Flexibility & Self Awareness - You’ll have to frequently adapt based on new data, results, and feedback on your trading ideas and your performance. > Orientation for Making Money - Although we value academic training, our work is not an academic exercise. We take a hacker’s approach to testing ideas, dropping projects that consume time without high upside, and focusing our next efforts on what will create the most value for the firm. ------------------------------ SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT SKILLS TO HAVE OR DEVELOP ------------------------------ > Low-level computer languages like C or C++; awareness of strength in particular language and ability to solve more complex problems due to understanding nuances of the language > Understanding of data structures, algorithmic complexities, and numerical algorithms > Systems Architecture - knowledge and experience with distributed systems and communication > Software Architecture - knowledge and experience working with a large code base > Development Processes - experience delivering and deploying software in production environments ------------------------------ *Apply on WaterlooWorks ID: 78067* *Deadline 11PM FRIDAY, SEPT 21* Questions?
