STAC-ML Working Group

The STAC-ML Working Group develops benchmark standards for key machine learning (ML) workloads in finance. These benchmarks enable customers, vendors, and STAC to make apples-to-apples comparisons of techniques and technologies.

A major focus is real-time inference of signals from event-driven financial data, an essential workload in trading and investment. The group’s first benchmark, STAC-ML (Markets) Inference, addresses this challenge.

Beyond inference, ML plays a crucial role in financial workflows, from fraud detection and risk assessment to accelerating model development and optimizing execution strategies. The rapid evolution of ML frameworks, architectures, and cloud-based services makes standardized benchmarks critical for firms evaluating new technologies.
