FinGPT is an open-source project for financial large language models by the AI4Finance Foundation, introduced in a 2023 paper as an alternative to proprietary systems like BloombergGPT.
Fingrid
Fingrid is Finland's state-majority-owned transmission system operator, founded in 1996, which operates the roughly 14,900-kilometer high-voltage main grid, maintains power system balance, and participates in ENTSO-E.
Finial
A finial, also called a hip-knob, is a small ornamental terminal placed at the top of a gable, spire, roof ridge, or furniture, defined by position rather than shape.
Finite element limit analysis
Finite element limit analysis (FELA) is a numerical method combining finite elements with plasticity limit theorems to compute rigorous bounds on the collapse loads of soils and structures.
Finite element model
A finite element model is a numerical representation of a physical structure or system, discretized into elements connected at nodes, built to predict stress, deformation, heat transfer, or fluid behavior.
Finite impulse response
A finite impulse response (FIR) filter is a digital filter that computes each output as a weighted sum of current and past input samples, with no feedback.
Finite model theory
Finite model theory is the branch of mathematical logic studying the expressive power of logical languages over finite structures, with applications in databases, complexity theory, and formal languages.
Finite strip method
The finite strip method (FSM) is a semi-analytical numerical technique for analyzing prismatic structures like folded plates and bridge decks, first applied by Y. K. Cheung in the late 1960s.
Finite-state machine
A finite-state machine (FSM), also called a finite-state automaton, is an abstract mathematical model of computation with a finite set of states and a transition function.
Finite-state transducer
A finite-state transducer (FST) is a finite-state machine that reads an input string and emits an output string, widely used in computational linguistics, speech recognition, and text processing.
Fink truss
The Fink truss is a bridge and roof truss patented by engineer Albert Fink in 1854, in which paired wrought-iron tension diagonals support the feet of vertical compression posts.
Finland Railway Bridge (Финляндский железнодорожный мост)
The Finland Railway Bridge (Финляндский железнодорожный мост) is a bascule railway bridge over the Neva in Saint Petersburg, opened in 1913 and actually two parallel single-track bridges.
Finnair
Finnair, originally Aero Oy, is the flag carrier of Finland, founded in Helsinki in 1923 and headquartered in Vantaa with its main hub at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport.
Finnish Academy of Technology
The Finnish Academy of Technology (Teknillisten Tieteiden Akatemia, TTA) is a Finnish learned academy for the technical sciences, founded in 1957 and based in Helsinki.
Finnish Transport and Communications Agency
The Finnish Transport and Communications Agency, known as Traficom, is Finland's national authority for licensing and supervision in transport and communications, formed in 2019 and promoting cybersecurity.
Fiocchi
Fiocchi is an Italian manufacturer of small-caliber ammunition for hunting, sport shooting, and defense, founded by Giulio Fiocchi in 1876 and headquartered in Lecco, Italy.
Fiorenzo G. Omenetto
Fiorenzo G. Omenetto is a materials scientist and bioengineer, the Frank C. Doble Professor of Engineering at Tufts University, who pioneered silk as a material platform for photonics and nanotechnology.
FIPA
FIPA, the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents, is a standards organization founded in Geneva in 1996, best known for its agent communication language, FIPA ACL.
FIPS 140-2
FIPS 140-2 is a US federal standard published by NIST in 2001 defining security requirements for cryptographic modules across four security levels, validated through the CMVP until superseded by FIPS 140-3.
FIRA HuroCup
The FIRA HuroCup, part of the FIRA Robot World Cup since 2002, is the oldest intelligent humanoid robot competition, with one robot competing across a decathlon of events.
Fire alarm control panel
A fire alarm control panel (FACP), also called a fire alarm panel, is the central component of a building fire alarm system, monitoring inputs and controlling outputs like notification appliances.
Fire alarm system
A fire alarm system, also known as fire alarms, senses fire or smoke and warns people in a building, automatically signaling a monitoring station where configured.
Fire and sinking of the SS Morro Castle
The SS Morro Castle, a Ward Line passenger liner, caught fire off New Jersey on September 8, 1934, killing 137 people and driving major shipboard fire safety reforms.
Fire clay
Fire clay is a kaolinite-rich clay low in iron and alkali fluxes that withstands high temperatures without deforming, the traditional raw material of firebrick and other refractory ceramic products.
Fire department
A fire department is a public agency, staffed by career or volunteer personnel, that responds to fires and other emergencies and works to reduce community fire risk.
Fire door
A fire door is a door assembly tested to resist fire, heat, and toxic gases for a rated period, installed in a fire wall to protect the opening.
Fire engine
A fire engine, also called a fire truck, is a vehicle carrying a fire pump, water tank, hose, and ladders, used by fire departments to fight fires.
Fire extinguisher
A fire extinguisher, or portable fire extinguisher, is a device that sprays water, foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical onto fires; no single type works on all fire classes.
