AIthena is an independent research group building rigorous AI methods for quantitative finance, economic modeling, and AI accountability in regulated systems. We publish. We build. We go deep.
Our work sits at the boundary of ML methodology and economic consequence. We care about whether models work when it actually matters.
Building ML methods that surface structure in financial and macroeconomic data: asset pricing, world models, access distortion, and decision quality under realistic information asymmetry.
Formalizing why model evaluation frameworks have structural blind spots, and what it takes to build AI systems whose outputs can be audited, justified, and trusted in regulated environments.
Applying ML to biological systems: modeling Alzheimer's pathology, MRI reconstruction failure modes, and the structural limits of evaluation in high-stakes medical AI.
Accepted and under review across venues in quantitative finance, economic policy, trustworthy ML, and medical AI.
A small group that moves fast and publishes rigorously. We find the problems worth owning and stay with them.
We are open to research collaborations at the intersection of ML methodology and finance, economics, or regulated AI. If the problem is real and the standard tools are not enough, reach out.
Collaborations with faculty, researchers, and practitioners working on quantitative finance, economic AI, or accountability infrastructure.
