As renewable energy integration increases supply variability, battery energy storage systems (BESS) present a viable solution for balancing supply and demand. This paper proposes a novel approach for optimizing battery BESS participation in multiple electricity markets. We develop a joint bidding st
This paper studies a joint stochastic optimal control and stopping (JCtrlOS) problem motivated by aquaculture operations, where the objective is to maximize farm profit through an optimal feeding strategy and harvesting time under stochastic price dynamics. We introduce a simplified aquaculture mode
Robust asset allocation is a key challenge in quantitative finance, where deep-learning forecasters often fail due to objective mismatch and error amplification. We introduce the Signature-Informed Transformer (SIT), a novel framework that learns end-to-end allocation policies by directly optimizing
Wiesel and Zhang [2023] established that two probability measures $μ,ν$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with finite second moments are in convex order (i.e. $μ\preceq_c ν$) if and only if $W_2(ν,ρ)^2-W_2(μ,ρ)^2 \leq \int |y|^2ν(dy) - \int |x|^2μ(dx).$ Let us call a measure $ρ$ maximizing $W_2(ν,ρ)^2-W_2(μ,ρ)^2$ t
Text-to-SQL, the task of translating natural language questions into SQL queries, has long been a central challenge in NLP. While progress has been significant, applying it to the financial domain remains especially difficult due to complex schema, domain-specific terminology, and high stakes of err
We explore a link between stochastic volatility (SV) and path-dependent volatility (PDV) models. Using assumed density filtering, we map a given SV model into a corresponding PDV representation. The resulting specification is lightweight, improves in-sample fit, and delivers robust out-of-sample for
The Santa Fe model is an established econophysics model for describing stochastic dynamics of the limit order book from the viewpoint of the zero-intelligence approach. While its foundation was studied by combining a dimensional analysis and a mean-field theory by E. Smith et al. in Quantitative Fin
Dependence among multiple lifetimes is a key factor for pricing and evaluating the risk of joint life insurance products. The dependence structure can be exposed to model uncertainty when available data and information are limited. We address robust pricing and risk evaluation of joint life insuranc
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are a cornerstone of the energy transition, as their ability to shift electricity across time enables both grid stability and the integration of renewable generation. This paper investigates the profitability of different market bidding strategies for BESS in th
This study investigates the application of machine learning techniques, specifically Neural Networks, Random Forests, and CatBoost for option pricing, in comparison to traditional models such as Black-Scholes and Heston Model. Using both synthetically generated data and real market option data, each
This paper investigates the impact of the adoption of generative AI on financial stability. We conduct laboratory-style experiments using large language models to replicate classic studies on herd behavior in trading decisions. Our results show that AI agents make more rational decisions than humans
This study aims to detect pump and dump (P&D) manipulation in cryptocurrency markets, where the scarcity of such events causes severe class imbalance and hinders accurate detection. To address this issue, the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) was applied, and advanced ensemble learni
Motivated by optimal re-balancing of a portfolio, we formalize an optimal transport problem in which the transported mass is scaled by a mass-change factor depending on the source and destination. This allows direct modeling of the creation or destruction of mass. We discuss applications and positio
Domain-specific quantitative reasoning remains a major challenge for large language models (LLMs), especially in fields requiring expert knowledge and complex question answering (QA). In this work, we propose Expert Question Decomposition (EQD), an approach designed to balance the use of domain know
Cross-market portfolio optimization has become increasingly complex with the globalization of financial markets and the growth of high-frequency, multi-dimensional datasets. Traditional artificial neural networks, while effective in certain portfolio management tasks, often incur substantial computa
We study a continuous-time portfolio optimization problem under an explicit constraint on the Deviation Conditional Value-at-Risk (DCVaR), defined as the difference between the CVaR and the expected terminal wealth. While the mean-CVaR framework has been widely explored, its time-inconsistency compl
With European Union initiatives mandating gender quotas on corporate boards, a key question arises: Is greater board gender diversity (BGD) associated with better emissions performance (EP)? To answer this question, we examine the influence of BGD on EP across a sample of European firms from 2016 to
In this paper, we propose an alternative valuation approach for CAT bonds where a pricing formula is learned by deep neural networks. Once trained, these networks can be used to price CAT bonds as a function of inputs that reflect both the current market conditions and the specific features of the c
We propose an approach to applying neural networks on linear parabolic variational inequalities. We use loss functions that directly incorporate the variational inequality on the whole domain to bypass the need to determine the stopping region in advance and prove the existence of neural networks wh
Financial news is essential for accurate market prediction, but evolving narratives across macroeconomic regimes introduce semantic and causal drift that weaken model reliability. We present an evaluation framework to quantify robustness in financial NLP under regime shifts. The framework defines fo
