Labeling for Supervised Learning in Finance

Sat 22 September 2018

Predicting future stock price movement is known difficult due to low signal-to-noise ratio and non stationary price distribution. Off-the-shelf successful ML algorithms often end up giving you disappointed results. Indeed, a lot of ML quant hedge funds show up and disappear every year.

Bayesian Optimization of Hyperparameters with Python

Sun 11 March 2018

Choosing a good set of hyperparameters is one of most important steps, but it is annoying and time consuming. The small number of hyperparameters may allow you to find an optimal set of hyperparameters after a few trials. This is, however, not the case for complex models like neural network ...

Data Explore and Visualization

Sun 26 March 2017

Data exploration is important. Before jumping into analysis, you will get some intuition as to how to use data and establish more sophisticated modeling. In some cases, how to use data improve even models robust to high dimensional input like Deep Learning.

Reinforcement Learning for Stock Trading

Sat 07 January 2017

Reinforcement learning has recently been succeeded to go over the human's ability in video games and Go. This implies possiblities to beat human's performance in other fields where human is doing well. Stock trading can be one of such fields. Some professional In this article, we consider application of reinforcement learning to stock trading. Especially, we work on constructing a portoflio to make profit. Since portfolio can take inifinite number, we tackle this task based on Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG). The behavior of stock prices is konwn to depend on history and several time scales, which leads us to use multiscale CNN for Q and actor network. We show that our algorithm has better performance than monkey trading(taking actions at random).
