Mike Ludkovski (UCSB): "Gaussian Process Models: From Option Greeks to Stochastic Impulse Control"
Abstract: In the first half of the talk I will survey Gaussian Process (GP) models which offer a flexible probabilistic framework for functional approximation and interpolation. GP training, kernel selection and observation noise modeling will be covered. The second half will consist of two applications: (i) statistical learning and uncertainty quantification of derivative contract sensitivities using GP gradients; (ii) GP surrogates for value- and policy-approximation within the Regression Monte Carlo framework for stochastic control problems.
Speaker Bio: Mike Ludkovski is a Professor of Statistics and Applied Probability at University of California Santa Barbara where he co-directs the Center for Financial Mathematics and Actuarial Research. Among his research interests are Monte Carlo techniques for optimal stopping/stochastic control, modeling of renewable energy markets, Gaussian process models for quantitative finance, and mortality analysis. His research has been supported by NSF, DOE, ARPA-E and CAS. He holds a Ph.D. in Operations Research and Financial Engineering from Princeton University and has held visiting positions at London School of Economics and Paris Dauphine University.

Переглядів 2855 місяців тому
Abstract: This talk addresses the problem of optimization of contributions of a financial planner such as a working individual towards a financial goal such as retirement. The objective of the planner is to find an optimal and feasible schedule of periodic installments to an investment portfolio set up towards the goal. Because portfolio returns are random, the practical version of the problem ...

Переглядів 3259 місяців тому
Abstract: Yield farming is a decentralized finance strategy in which liquidity is provided in exchange for rewards in the form of transaction fees paid by liquidity takers. This article analyzes transaction costs, returns, and risks using on-chain data from major decentralized exchanges. To understand the economic mechanisms of yield farming, we present a mathematical model that incorporates st...

Abstract: The Federal funds rate is a cornerstone of asset pricing that has a significant impact on asset valuation and portfolio performance. However, estimating it reliably can be a challenging issue given that the FOMC makes monetary policy decisions based on complex economic conditions. The authors leveraged existing literatures’ findings on factors and combined those major factor categorie...

Переглядів 605Рік тому
Abstract: Recently there has been concern among regulators and legal theorists about the possibility that pricing algorithms can learn to collude with one another to inflate prices and harm social welfare. These concerns have largely been motivated by numerical simulations, which may be useful for illustrative purposes but lack theoretical rigor. In this talk, I will present the Algorithmic Lea...

Abstract: Conditional Portfolio Optimization is a portfolio optimization technique that adapts to market regimes via machine learning. Traditional portfolio optimization methods take summary statistics of historical constituent returns as input and produce a portfolio that was optimal in the past, but may not be optimal going forward. Machine learning can condition the optimization on a large n...

Agostino Capponi (Columbia): "Do Private Transaction Pools Mitigate Frontrunning Risk?"
Переглядів 513Рік тому
Abstract: Blockchain users who submit transactions through private pools are guaranteed pre-trade privacy but face execution risk. We argue that private pools serve the intended purpose of eliminating frontrunning risk, only if such risk is high. Otherwise, some validators may decide to avoid monitoring private pools to preserve rents extracted from frontrunning bots. Private pools intensify th...

Abstract: Causal regularization solves several practical problems in live trading applications: estimating price impact when alpha is unknown and estimating alpha when price impact is unknown. In addition, causal regularization increases the value of small A/B tests: one draws more robust conclusions from smaller live trading experiments than traditional econometric methods. Requiring less A/B ...

    So ml model takes in ... market regime features + trading strategy parameter(if any)+ allocation weights ... spits out sharpe ratio i could easily see this overfit and not having predictive power. If this worked, we would optimize parameter for single strategy. Rebalance parameter each month. But this is no different than walk forward optimization... Also... regimes can change before the weights are rebalanced.

    man he did leave a lot to the imagination but this idea is so insane with AI actually having a neaural'ish network. I wonder if their approach is bruteforcing different set of conditions across asset classes till they find out the conditions that actually affect the markets and in what ratio, and then improve the current model. Coz thats fckin epic

  • @metamorphosis8813

    that's a terrible presentation. He did not give any definition of regime, nor did he describe a method how to measure regimes. A lot of talking though

      I'm not very familiar with Quant Finance, but I thought the implicitly defined regimes makes sense. Sorta like HMM but with kinda very large number of hidden states

    • @loukah4401
      @loukah4401 5 місяців тому

      I initially felt the same way, however I believe the key area to pay attention to is 20:37 where he talks about the features used. If you dig a little deeper into time-series features this explains how the regimes are modeled IMO.

  • @wanga10000
    @wanga10000 9 місяців тому

    After finishing the video, the thing that immediately come to my mind is to apply this method on the parameter selection of a single strategy. Like doctor said in the beginning, walk forward rolling window method doesn't consider the current market infomation into the decision, but only the past performance of the strategy/portfolio itself, which might also be suffered from a lot of noise overfit issue or the plateaus area is hard to identify......etc I wonder if I change to use this kind of machine learning way to dynamically change the parameter while backtesting, maybe those strategies that I already throwed away could revive. Gread content!
