Multimodal Financial Foundation Models - A Paper Review
This episode provides an overview of multimodal Financial Foundation Models (MFFMs), exploring their progress, potential applications, and associated challenges. It emphasizes the ubiquitous nature of multimodal financial data—including text, audio, images, and tabular information—in various financial applications like search, robo-advising, and trading. The paper review also addresses the development lifecycle of MFFMs, from pre-training to fine-tuning and alignment, while highlighting the need for robust benchmarks. Crucially, it discusses significant challenges such as data privacy, the risk of misinformation and hallucination, and the need for ethical AI readiness and governance within the financial sector.
