The largest hub in the collection, covering neural networks, tree ensembles, transformers, and hybrid models applied to return prediction, price forecasting, and market-state classification. The volume reflects the field’s popularity; the score distribution reflects its problem — a large share of papers demonstrate in-sample pattern-fitting rather than out-of-sample edge.
A practical filter when reading: the base rate for daily directional accuracy on liquid instruments hovers near 50%, so headline accuracies of 60%+ usually signal look-ahead bias, survivorship bias, or an illiquid universe rather than alpha. The papers ranked highest below are those that publish full train/validation/test splits, compare against naive baselines, and account for costs. Tree ensembles on engineered features remain stubbornly competitive with deep architectures on tabular financial data — a finding that replicates across this hub repeatedly.
