The Robert H. Smith School of Business is partnering with the Office of Financial Research on a challenge for research teams to link four disparate financial datasets.
The Financial Entity Identification and Information Integration (FEIII) Challenge poses a complex problem for research teams: develop technologies that automatically align diverse financial entity identification schemes from four key regulatory datasets. The multiyear program is intended to elicit techniques and methodologies that improve the ways parties in financial transactions are identified and linked. These techniques and methods could be used by both federal regulators and financial institutions to create a global identifier system for risk management and regulatory oversight of the millions of financial transactions that occur each day.
Further information and rules for challenge participants can be found at http://financialresearch.gov/grants/feiii-challenge/.
