LMM gets an Assist from ChatGPT!

The emergence of Generative AI is a game changer for LMM Labs. We all have our aspirations, beliefs, fears, and doubts about where AI is going, but for us it is simply and primarily a productivity play. We have ideas and a fair amount of knowledge that we just do not have time to develop or explore. Generative AI is providing us the workforce multiplication capability to expand our horizons and make much more progress than we otherwise would be able to.

LMM Looks at Blockchain

While crypto currencies get most of the attention surrounding Blockchain, there is increasing attention being paid to Blockchain as a core, enabling technology in many industries.  Financial services, telecommunications and security are a few examples.  The notion of a secure, highly distributed, immutable ledger has the potential to disrupt and change many current business practices and organizations.  As such, it deserves a deep dive into its potential.

LMM Goes Algo for Alpha

LMM adopts Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) to build well diversified and optimized portfolios.  Covariance, correlation, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), the Security Market Line (SML), Sharpe Ratio along with other quant methods will be utilized to assess portfolios.  The intent here is not to take sides in the passive versus active portfolio management debate but to use cutting edge techniques and algorithms to reduce risk and maximize return.  The core belief is that it is possible to find significant alpha and to beat the market over defined time intervals, if not necessarily in the long run.  This is in line with the LMM goal to use of Machine Learning algorithms in the financial vertical.

The Iterative Organization

The potential for existing and emerging technologies to radically change what is considered a state of the art organizational structure is enormous.  The notion of a constantly iterating, self-learning, fully automated organization that has a flat and ever changing network structure is upon us.  This type of organization will challenge the fairly static hierarchical structures of today and provide those who adopt it a clear strategic and competitive advantage.  LMM Labs hopes to advance the thinking and technology in this area.

Machine Learning Initiative

LMM Labs launches a Machine Learning initiative.  The stretch goal is to develop solutions in two business verticals by the second half of 2019.  Between now and then the team will survey and test existing Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms.  Finance, Marketing, Cyber Security and Electoral Politics are the focal points of this effort.  Aside from developing a core competency in Machine Learning algorithms, the central assertion here is that there is a large and growing addressable market for a wide variety of Machine Learning appliance software.  In other words, simple to complex Machine Learning appliances are a good idea.
