For business and financial applications, we have initiated the use of a dynamic value-at-risk constraint to portfolio risk control which gives insights to automated trading methods. We have also developed optimisation methods for inventory controls and switching controls. Recently, we have developed various AI techniques for different applications including layer segmentation of OCT images, traffic forecasting and speech enhancement.
