Abstract

Machine learning (ML) is changing virtually every aspect of our lives. Today ML algorithms accomplish tasks that until recently only expert humans could perform

Keywords: machine learning, algorithmic trading, predictive analytics, data science, fintech, Multi-Asset / Quantitative Strategies

Complexity vs Empirical Score

• Math Complexity: 3.5/10
• Empirical Rigor: 2.0/10
• Quadrant: Philosophers
• Why: The excerpt presents a high-level critique of econometric methods compared to machine learning, but it focuses on theoretical arguments and conceptual pitfalls rather than advancing novel mathematical techniques or presenting concrete backtesting results.
