元智大學資管系學生邱紹哲、應芝曦(現就讀中央資管所)，參加上海銀行Fintech未來競技場「滬港台金融科技創新Hackathon校園競賽」，總計有89組團隊報名參賽，在入圍的20支各大專院校隊伍中脫穎而出，榮獲第一名。
本次競賽主題涵蓋社交金融、數位金融、普惠金融、區塊鏈、人工智慧及物聯網，前三名隊伍將與香港、上海的前三名菁英團隊較勁，「決戰上海」。指導老師元智資管系禹良治教授表示，團隊以「金融社群媒體分析平台」參賽，運用自然語言處理、情感分析及深度學習技術，自動從網路新聞、財經雜誌及社群媒體中萃取熱門議題、情感指標、金融事件及產業鏈關係，可支援投資建模、金融監理、信用風險、智慧理專、社群客戶開發及產業分析等各項應用，最後在競賽過程中一路過關斬將，獲得來自學界、業界及創投等七位評審的青睞，榮獲第一名。
在社群媒體引領的大數據時代，非結構化文本處理技術顯得格外重要，透過該平台的輔助，大量的非結構化(質化)數據得以轉換成業界熟悉的結構化(量化)數據，兩者結合可協助業者開發具差異化之藍海新應用，提升企業競爭力。
