"Don't worry, miners are quite normal creatures on Earth, just involved in some Quantitative Modeling, which usually involves only two methods: Stochastic Calculus and Statistical Learning."
"Before the year 2000, Stochastic Calculus was the only important method in financial research. Our professor from Stanford, Kenneth J. Arrow, received the Nobel Prize because of his research in this area." note 1
"In recent years, Statistical Learning has gradually become mainstream. Mainly, it involves big data and machine learning."
"Most of the work is now solved using computer programming, and the amount of manual computation has become increasingly scarce." Qi Yi provided a relatively detailed introduction.
"You learned computer programming too?" Yan Yan had never heard Qi Yi mentioning this before.
