AQuA: Recursively Self-Improving Quantitative Trading Research Agents

arXiv:2608. 12841v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study recursive self-improvement at the level of quantitative-investment research: whether an autonomous system can use evidence from earlier experiments to improve the hypotheses and candidates proposed in later iterations.

AlphaDiverse: Post-Training Local Quantitative Research Agents for Diverse Exploration in Alpha Factor Mining

AlphaDiverse is a framework that enhances large language model–based multi‑agent systems for alpha factor mining by addressing cost, availability, and confidentiality constraints. It generates diverse research paths through varied environments and post‑training local agents, then fine‑tunes these agents with supervised learning and optimizes them jointly using a GRPO method that balances predictive quality and diversity. The approach limits research feedback to inner‑period data and evaluates a frozen model on outer‑period data to avoid test‑set tuning, demonstrating competitive prediction and broader exploration across four Chinese stock universes.
