The GPT-4 chatbot can analyze the conversation content and insurance policies to recommend the most suitable insurance plan for customers, saving time on training human agents while ensuring responses are in accordance with the training content. The chatbot can also mark citations to enhance enterprise and customer confidence and trust.

With its excellent language abilities, SleekFlow AI can instantly translate customer inquiries, enabling businesses to provide customer service without having to outsource overseas. Moreover, SleekFlow AI can understand and adapt to different cultural norms and communication styles, bridging cultural gaps and helping businesses expand their global reach. In addition to its customer service capabilities, SleekFlow integrates AI into its workflow to optimize internal business management. SleekFlow AI can generate concise reports from long chat threads, summarizing customer inquiries and team responses for internal recordkeeping, streamlining handover procedures and saving time on report production. The platform also allows businesses to upload documents to the database and use SleekFlow AI to assist in employee training. By quickly answering questions from a vast amount of text, SleekFlow AI enables businesses to efficiently train professional talent and shorten the learning cycle for new employees. "Over the past year, SleekFlow has experienced explosive growth, with our enterprise customers increasing sixfold, accumulating over 5,000 customers in 120 regions worldwide," says Tsai. "At the same time, we continue to optimize the platform to help businesses upgrade their customer service quality, increasing their sales converted with chat threefold and boosting the online to offline (O2O) sales by 18%. I believe that AI will be an indispensable part of business in the next three years and become the driving engine of various industries. SleekFlow AI helps businesses start using AI at a lower cost.

Long Live SOFR for Swaps

Tradeweb

It is officially the end of the line for LIBOR. After some 30+ years as “the world’s most important number,” and the last six years on an extended farewell tour, the London Interbank Offered Rate will officially be retired as a benchmark for U.S. dollar swaps transactions. CME Group completed its conversion to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as the standard benchmark reference for over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives trades in April and LCH will complete its conversion containing U.S. dollar LIBOR vs. fixed interest rate swaps on May 20. By June, roughly $60 trillion in U.S. dollar contracts will be secured to SOFR. Regulators first announced plans to phase out LIBOR in 2017, ushering in a protracted death march that saw the slow-but-steady migration away from the decades-old benchmark. Ultimately, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC) selected SOFR as the overnight benchmark rate to use in certain new U.S. dollar derivatives and financial contracts, and the financial industry—including regulators, central banks, trading venues and other market participants—have spent the last several years getting ready for the transition. Over the course of that multi-year migration, we’ve learned some important lessons: Big and complicated problems can be solved when the industry sets its collective mind to something. This transition was no small feat but market participants and regulators quickly rallied together to organize and coordinate efforts ahead of upcoming target deadlines. The end result was a relatively smooth process thanks to solid preparation, decisive action and regular communications. January 2022 was the moment of reckoning. Migration away from LIBOR was slow and steady before taking a drastic turn ahead of the January 2022 deadline for no new LIBOR origination. By February 2022, SOFR trading on Tradeweb made up 72% of all new risk, and across our business approximately 96% of our most active clients globally trading USD swaps were using SOFR. This playbook can be utilized elsewhere. We have been pleased to see that the insights and lessons learned from the U.S. dollar LIBOR transition have already extended beyond our markets and into non-LIBOR jurisdictions, further illustrating the permanent impact this movement has had on our global markets. Why LIBOR Was So Entrenched Getting there was no small achievement. LIBOR didn’t earn its reputation as “the world’s most important number” for nothing. As the benchmark evolved over the last three decades, it’s been sliced and diced into multiple durations and both backward-looking and forward-looking rates that are used for everything from projecting market expectations for the cost of borrowing to the underlying benchmark for U.S. dollar swaps contracts. Financial technology also grew up around LIBOR, with virtually every piece of financial services software and nearly every financial model incorporating some link to the benchmark. Thankfully, due to close collaboration between industry stakeholders including trading platforms, dealers and clients, clearinghouses and operators of order management systems, over the course of the transition period, this final step in the migration from LIBOR to SOFR in the swaps market is anticipated to be a smooth one. Orderly Transition to a New Standard In fact, much of the heavy lifting has already been done. As indicated in the chart below, the percentage of new U.S. dollar swaps trades benchmarked to SOFR and executed on the Tradeweb platform started to trend upward in August of 2021. That date followed the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) Market Risk Advisory Committee (MRAC) SOFR First recommendation, which introduced a phased approach to the SOFR transition. In the following months, SOFR trading activity on the Tradeweb platform increased as clients began to offset their existing U.S. dollar LIBOR risk, with new SOFR activity reaching parity with LIBOR by January 2022, in response to the upcoming deadline which imposed restrictions on new use of U.S. dollar LIBOR. By February 2022, trading volume benchmarked to SOFR on the Tradeweb platform increased over 50% versus the previous month. In 2022 alone, we had nearly $21 trillion traded in SOFR on the platform. Together, the steady forward march toward SOFR adoption for new trades, along with the industry’s diligent efforts to smooth the migration of existing contracts benchmarked to LIBOR, has helped pave the way for an incredibly orderly transition. Following the success of the LIBOR transition in the U.S. dollar market, we’ve seen similar work being done in non-LIBOR jurisdictions, including Canada. Led by the Canadian Alternative Reference Rate Committee (CARR), Canada is shifting away from the benchmark Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR) to Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA) as the key Canadian interest rate benchmark. Globally, the LIBOR transition has served as a shining example of industry collaboration overcoming institutional inertia and debunking the myth that things need to be done a certain way just because that’s how they’ve always been done. It took six years and there was no shortage of doubt and concern along the way, but the transition that the New York Federal Reserve called “arguably one of the most significant and complex challenges that financial markets will ever confront,” is about to be complete. It should come as a cause for celebration to the countless market participants who weren’t afraid to tweak the process, experiment with new standards and collaborate with peers to transform and modernize critical market infrastructure. Now, as a result of this effort by so many parties, our markets are running smoothly and efficiently and we have proven once again how resilient and innovative our industry can be when we set our sights on a common goal. For our part at Tradeweb, we look forward to continuing to refine our workflows along with the some of the most accurate and timely pricing and reference data available to ensure our clients are operating in a transparent, efficient marketplace.

PathAI Announces IBD Explore, an AI-powered Histopathology Panel to Unlock Insights for Ulcerative Colitis from the Inflammatory Microenvironment

PathAI

PathAI, a global leader in AI-powered pathology, today announced the launch of IBD Explore 1, an artificial intelligence-powered panel of human interpretable features (HIFs) offering unprecedented resolution of the inflammatory microenvironment from H&E whole-slide images. IBD Explore uses more than 600 histopathology features to spatially characterize the inflammatory microenvironment, giving drug developers and clinical researchers the ability to unlock insights to inform the next phase of targeted drug development in ulcerative colitis (UC). According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), an increasing number of American adults have faced diagnosis of either UC or Crohn’s disease, known collectively as Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) over the past two decades. Over the past few decades the global prevalence of UC and Crohn's disease, known collectively as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has increased. A Lancet study 2 found that the prevalence increased from 1990 with 79.5 per 100,000 population with IBD to 84.3 per 100,000 population in 2017. Despite this, remission rates for UC drugs have not surpassed 30% 3 and more than 30% of UC patients stop biologic therapy within 12-18 months due to lack or loss of efficacy. 4 These observations underscore the need for biomarkers such as histologic signatures to aid in drug development and patient management. Previous research found histologic measures of response to be a better predictor of drug efficacy for relapse-free survival in UC patients than endoscopy alone. 5 IBD Explore allows researchers enhanced histologic visibility, with the ability to structure and analyze spatial measures on a scalable platform, allowing insights to inform future trials. “IBD Explore provides visibility down to each individual cell in the inflammatory tissue environment and HIFs, and a level of granularity that we’ve never had,” said Andy Beck, M.D., Ph.D., chief executive officer and co-founder of PathAI. “This level of detail helps researchers identify patient subtypes and develop customized therapeutics with the hopes of greater efficacy and increased remission for UC patients.” In addition to IBD Explore, PathAI also offers automated, AI-powered Geboes scoring with its tool AI Measurement of Histological Index for Ulcerative Colitis, or AIM-HI™UC. Combined, IBD Explore and AIM-HI UC provide IBD drug developers a complete histology solution for translational research and clinical development. “The utilization of AI-powered pathology has the potential to tremendously benefit researchers in drug discovery and clinical development by reducing trial risk and enhancing therapy differentiation,” said Mike Montalto, Ph.D., chief scientific officer at PathAI. “Our suite of AI-powered solutions can reduce the noise in histological-based endpoints for IBD clinical trials and therefore isolate true drug effect. In collaboration with our biopharma partners, we aim to accelerate precision medicine options for millions of patients with UC.” To learn more about IBD Explore, visit www.IBDExplore.com Footnotes 1 IBD Explore is for research use only.
