本次讲座中,柯滨教授介绍了自己近期在财务会计领域的重要研究成果。主要内容为:Utilizing a proprietary dataset of grant applications from technology-based SMEs to China’s Innovation Fund for Small Technology-based Firms (Innofund), this study evaluates the utility of historical financial statements for assessing SMEs’ innovation potential. Our findings demonstrate that an advanced XGBoost model, using 55 financial statement data items only, predicts innovation performance more effectively than an XGBoost model based on human experts’ evaluation scores of the entire grant application. Additionally, merging financial data with expert scores does not improve prediction accuracy, indicating no incremental value from expert discretion. Analysis of Shapley values highlights distinct evaluation criteria differences between human experts and the XGBoost model. Our results demonstrate the promise of leveraging advanced machine learning with historical financial data in aiding government grant agencies to identify SMEs with high innovation potential.
讲座结束后,柯滨教授还与学院师生进行了深入交流,针对学院师生提出的各类问题进行耐心回答,现场学术交流气氛踊跃。
