Information technologies in financial applications

Information technologies are playing an important role in enhancing traditional financial activities as well as creating novel financial applications, such as cryptocurrencies, crowdfunding, and P2P lending. We are specifically interested in studying how computational techniques such as data and text mining can provide insights on financial markets and how people's behaviors influence the success of Fintech applications.
