Adaptive Finite-Budget Training for CVaR Risk-Aware Q-Learning

arXiv:2608. 04305v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Risk-aware Q-learning (RaQL) provides a model-free, two-timescale estimator for dynamic risk objectives, but its finite-budget behavior remains fragile: fixed inner-loop hyperparameters can produce unstable value estimates, persistent Bellman residuals, and inefficient sample reuse.

DreamQAS: Learning a Decision-Useful World Model for VQE-Efficient Quantum Architecture Search

arXiv:2607. 29491v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement-learning-based quantum architecture search (RL-QAS) repeatedly optimizes a variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) after extending a circuit, although circuit construction and action legality are deterministic and known.

EVOQUANT: Self-Evolving Verifier-Guided Strategy Optimization for Robust Quantitative Trading

Quantitative strategy optimization remains largely manual, requiring domain experts to identify weak signals, tune risk-control rules, and repeatedly validate iterative revisions. Large language models can accelerate this process, but directly relying on them to rewrite trading strategies often introduces hallucinated edits, strategy drift, and backtest overfitting.
