Students are encouraged to focus on hot topics and specific pain points in financial industry, work as a team to propose practical FinTech solutions with commercial prospects, on either:
1. Any Financial IT related topics, or
2. One of ’Citi Challenges’ listed as below, with the opportunity to win the special prize.
1. Project Area-AI –
Risk Control
Citi Challenges
Sponsored by
With the rapid rise of companies such as OpenAI, artificial intelligence (AI) has recently attracted strong attention worldwide. Accelerating the integration of AI and industry can provide new momentum for high-quality development. The application of AI in the financial field has also attracted much attention, such as improving the accuracy and efficiency of risk management through AI is one of the directions. Please use AI data mining and machine learning technology to generate reports on designated listed companies. Choose one of the following:
1. Organization Chart of Listed Companies
In most cases, the generic Organization Chart currently available on the market cannot provide a clear and lucid picture of the shareholding structure and individual business segments of the group. Please use AI and related technologies to optimize this. A sample is shown in the figure below. The challenges mainly include:
• Taking the target company as an example, tracing down, all subsidiaries with 30% and above owned by the target need to be provided and classified according to business units. Generally, it needs to be analyzed and identified by leveraging on disclosures in financial reports or announcements, etc.
• The shareholder structure is traced upward, providing the first-level equity structure and shareholding ratio, controlling shareholder and actual controller information. Important information is generally involved in the public disclosure of information by listed companies.
• Differentiate the local and offshore entities in the diagram.
2. Assessment on crisis-hit Chinese Property Developers
Recently, some real estate companies have experienced bond defaults, and a liquidity crisis has erupted. The accounts receivable of upstream suppliers will also face the possibility of overdue or even bad debts. However, this information is relatively scattered, e.g., disclosures in the regular reports of upstream suppliers, investor Q&A, securities research reports, media reports and other channels. Please use AI data mining and machine learning related technologies to assess the scale of the impact of the liquidity crisis on real estate companies, in terms of generate a list of affected upstream suppliers, including company name, organization code, the basis for inclusion in the list (such as accounts receivable exposure, etc.) and source, etc.
Generative AI is a type of AI that can create new data, such as text, images, or even music. It does this by learning from existing data and then using that knowledge to generate new outputs that are similar to the original data. Generative AI is a powerful tool that has the potential to revolutionize financial services. Citi’s vision is to “integrate generative AI into the firm — and do so in a safe and responsible way”. This data can then be used to assess the potential impact of various risks on a financial institution's portfolio.
As Generative AI is a rapidly developing field, it is likely that we will see even more innovative applications in finance in the years to come. However, it is important to be aware of the challenges of generative AI models, one of which is the ‘hallucination’ – which is generation of invalid or misleading data.
This year, we ask the teams to find solutions that will help to reduce bias in the information that is received from AI systems. Bias can lead to unfair and inaccurate decisions, so it's important that we find ways to mitigate it. Choose one of the following:
1. Try to build a risk control system for the assessment, repair or improvement of the hallucination bias problem of large language models (LLM) in financial institutions (this can be carried out for the life cycle management of large language models, evaluation indicators and frameworks, verification data set management and other issues), it is necessary to take into account the strict requirements of financial institutions for data security and information accuracy.
2. Choose to use LLM to solve specific problems in the financial field (for example, two application scenarios involved in another Citi CCB Challenge), and detail in the project report how to systematically solve the problem of LLM illusory bias in the application.
Innovate and Improve. To guide students to focus on technology application in finance, and to resolve current challenges confronted during the development of the financial industry with knowledge acquired through innovative approaches.

Competition Introduction
With the continuous reform and opening up of China’s financial sector, Information Technology (IT) has increasingly become the fundamental driving force for the continuous innovation and healthy development of the financial service industry. At the same time, the majority of college students haven’t fully grasped the importance of IT to the financial industry, and lack the channels to acquire relevant practical knowledge and practical experience.
Aiming to support the development of China’s education and financial technology innovation through the cultivation of Financial IT interdisciplinary talents, Citigroup Services and Technology (China) Limited (hereinafter referred to as “CSTC”) formally established Citi Financial IT Education Fund Program in April 2004. Citi Financial Innovation Application Competition (formerly known as “Citi Financial IT Application Competition”, hereinafter referred to as “Citi Cup”) is an important part of the program, which aims to guide students to combine what they have learned with the development of the financial industry as well as social progress. Stimulate students' passion for science & technology as well as the financial industry, encourage teamwork, comprehensively use the knowledge they have learned, burst out financial innovations, and propose solutions with commercial prospects.
Since its establishment in 2005, Citi Cup has been recognized as a benchmark event in China's financial information technology sector, and has been supported by the Chinese government, education and industry for many years. More than 20,000 students and more than 2,000 teachers have participated in the competition. Every year, tens of thousands of teachers and students learn about the event online and in person. At the same time, through the accumulation of knowledge and experience in the competition, participants over the years have enjoyed positive development in their career in related industries such as Finance and IT after graduation.
