Is there a way to fine-tune or customize the platform for specific use cases?
Yes, we offer advisory and training services for on-premises InvestLM deployment and customized model fine-tuning to meet specific institutional needs. Please contact the InvestLM research team at investlm@ust.hk for further details.
What is your definition of a local financial institution?
We define a local financial institution based on the information provided during registration, such as company name, industry type, address, and website. This helps us determine if a registrant belongs to the target user group.
Why can you not open the service to all registrants who are local financial institutions? How many user accounts are available?
Due to limited computing resources, the platform’s response speed depends on factors like concurrent users and network traffic. To ensure a good user experience, we are rolling out access in phases. Initially, a limited number of user accounts will be available, with potential expansion based on demand.
If registrations exceed available accounts, how will you select successful registrations?
Our goal is to support local financial institutions, with a focus on small- to medium-sized firms. Selection will be based on factors such as industry type and limiting multiple registrations from the same institution to ensure fair access.
When will applicants know the results of their registration after submitting the registration form online?
We will try to get back to you within one week.
