arXiv:2607. 24131v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Classical alpha mining achieves strong risk-adjusted returns by combining many low-correlated predictive signals, yet deep learning stock-ranking methods typically produce a single alpha per stock, rely on increasingly complex architectures with diminishing gains, and obtain diversity only through separate models or implicit routing, without explicitly controlling inter-alpha correlation.

The paper explores tabular deep learning for equity signal generation, training five model classes on daily data from about 300 large‑cap US stocks over eleven years. By using Bayesian optimisation that targets trading performance across three distinct market regimes, the authors achieve regime‑robust hyperparameter selection, yielding out‑of‑sample signal precision above random and a Hybrid ensemble (XGBoost + TabNet) with an annualised return of 51.26% and a Sharpe ratio of 2.44. The study also finds that alternative data adds limited value beyond technical and fundamental features, and that the ensemble’s outperformance is driven by stock selection rather than market exposure.
arXiv:2605. 27887v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong performance across diverse financial tasks, yet portfolio management (PM), a critical financial decision-making task, remains poorly benchmarked.
