Risk of Transfer Learning and its Applications in Finance

Transfer learning is an emerging and popular paradigm for utilizing existing knowledge from previous learning tasks to improve the performance of new ones. In this paper, we propose a novel concept of transfer risk and and analyze its properties to evaluate transferability of transfer learning. We a

QuantaAlpha: An Evolutionary Framework for LLM-Driven Alpha Mining

Financial markets are noisy and non-stationary, making alpha mining highly sensitive to noise in backtesting results and sudden market regime shifts. While recent agentic frameworks improve alpha mining automation, they often lack controllable multi-round search and reliable reuse of validated exper

Functional Itô-formula and Taylor expansions for non-anticipative maps of càdlàg rough paths

We derive a functional Itô-formula for non-anticipative maps of rough paths, based on the approximation properties of the signature of càdlàg rough paths. This result is a functional extension of the Itô-formula for càdlàg rough paths (by Friz and Zhang (2018)), which coincides with the change of va
