Sirui Zhu obtained the Masters in Economics specializing in Finance at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg in Germany, on the March 2018. Before graduation, he was a stock trader in Shanghai for a while, working for Shanghai Hunlicar Investment Management Co.,Ltd. His early research interests are focusing on figuring out individual financial or economic behavior and their unique thinking process, he tends to write down codes in order to simulate their cognitive process and running backtests for its estimations and constructing normal trading strategies, involving with algorithm building and data system storing. From 2019 July to 2022 December, he was hired working at Shenzhen in China Guangfa bank as an Account manager.

Application and Study of Image Matching Strategies in Quantitative Stock Market Trading

From a behavioral point of view, under roughly similar circumstances, roughly the same volume, roughly the same price action, etc. Investors, will make the same decision to long or short a particular stock as they did at some point in history. Rational people, under similar circumstances and receiving similar external signals, should make similar decisions. The research methodology is to match and calculate the similarity of the candlestick images by different image recognition technologies.

A Study of Machine Learning in Law Firms -Machine learning analysis of structured data to predict case win rate and case time consuming

At this stage, law firms are still a textual field of work, and it seems to be a forbidden area when it comes to the application of data and the application of machine learning. We should try to incorporate machine learning techniques in law firms to analyse all kinds of case data and client data as well as lawyers' personal information data, and to predict the win rate and possible length of time spent on similar cases from historical big data, etc.
