arXiv:2608. 06618v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current portfolio construction methods are either agnostic to the effects of idiosyncratic shocks (standard factor models) or to the latent data structure driving systematic returns (recent graph-based approaches).
arXiv:2607. 19385v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper tackles the problem of stock ranking and portfolio construction under realistic investment settings by jointly modeling temporal dynamics and cross-sectional dependencies.
arXiv:2606. 13024v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Granger Causal Discovery (GCD) is fundamental for analyzing temporal dependencies in complex systems.
arXiv:2606. 25811v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Commodity futures can be represented hierarchically, with underlying assets at the upper level and individual futures contracts at the lower level.
arXiv:2607. 12067v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Institutional equity holdings disclosed in SEC Form 13F filings provide a rich temporal record of portfolio decisions by large investment managers.
arXiv:2606. 27014v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Joint Embedding Predictive Architectures (JEPAs) have recently emerged as a promising paradigm for world modeling by learning predictive dynamics in a latent space rather than generating future observations at the input level.
arXiv:2605. 16836v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Hypergraphs provide a principled framework for modeling polyadic interactions, with applications in recommendation systems, social networks, and molecular modeling.
arXiv:2510. 17088v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Financial anomalies arise from heterogeneous mechanisms - price shocks, liquidity freezes, contagion cascades, and momentum reversals - yet existing detectors produce uniform anomaly scores without revealing which mechanism is failing or where risks concentrate.
arXiv:2607. 24518v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Symmetric non-negative matrix factorization (SymNMF) recovers latent group structure from a dependence matrix, but its dense, quadratic-memory objective has confined prior work to moderate sizes.
arXiv:2402. 06635v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We show that a deep neural network (DNN) trained to construct a stochastic discount factor (SDF) admits an additive decomposition separating nonlinear characteristic discovery from the pricing rule that aggregates them.
arXiv:2606. 27917v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Contextual bandits with graph-structured arms arise in recommendation, citation retrieval, and social advertising, where arms connected on a graph tend to share reward signal.
The paper introduces Future‑Aligned Soft Contrastive Learning (FASCL), a representation learning framework that uses pairwise future return correlations as continuous supervision to improve asset retrieval. FASCL’s soft contrastive loss aligns retrieved assets with correlated future returns, and the authors propose a new evaluation protocol to directly assess future trajectory similarity. Experiments on 5,631 US‑listed securities outperform 14 baselines in future return correlation, rank information coefficient, trend consistency, and gross Sharpe ratio across various retrieval depths and basket sizes.
The paper introduces Agentic Empirical Asset Pricing (AEAP), a framework where autonomous LLM agents conduct the entire scientific discovery process for asset pricing. It outlines AEAP’s core components, critiques current evaluation methods that only test outputs, and proposes a new reference architecture with rigorous standards for factor discovery and out‑of‑sample backtesting. Using this framework, the authors evaluate SEADS against five baselines on US equity panels, finding no single metric consistently ranks the systems and highlighting the need for multi‑axis evaluation and rolling re‑execution to assess reliability of the discovery process.
