Interview of John Moody

March 1, 2004
John Moody, a senior researcher in the Algorithms Group, was interviewed live by Erin Burnett on the Bloomberg Financial News channel on Monday, March 1, 2004. Moody's academic research centers on machine learning algorithms and computational finance. He is also the founder of J E Moody & Company, LLC, an alternative investment management firm.

In the television interview, he discussed how his firm's approach to quantitative asset management differs from traditional approaches due to his academic background. Moody uses machine learning and statistics to more accurately predict market trends and avoid "data snooping".

In conjunction with the television interview, Moody was quoted extensively in an article entitled "From Harvard to Hedge Funds" which starts on page 48 of the April 2004 issue of Bloomberg Markets.
