AlphaZeroBeta uses deep reinforcement learning for market-neutral portfolios, outperforming traditional methods.

problem Traditional portfolio management methods often fail during market regime shifts or when assumptions break down.
method Combines a composite reward function and CNN-GRU policy trained end-to-end via Recurrent PPO.
result Achieves higher Sharpe ratios than baselines while maintaining near-zero benchmark correlations.

CEFOL uses deep learning for dynamic programming with recursive utility.

problem Challenges in solving dynamic programming problems with recursive utility.
method Introduces a separate neural network for certainty equivalent, uses first-order optimality conditions to learn value and policy functions.
result CEFOL achieves high accuracy in learning value and policy functions, matching VFI benchmarks.

Proposes a method to learn adaptive ambiguity sets for robust optimization.

problem Misspecification in distributionally robust optimization (DRO).
method Learned predictive ambiguity sets (LPAS) using deep contextual models.
result Significantly improves portfolio optimization performance compared to baselines.

Deep learning solves dynamic programming with recursive utility.

problem Challenges in solving high-dimensional discrete-time dynamic programming problems with recursive utility.
method Certainty Equivalent Learning (CEL) algorithm that learns certainty-equivalent value directly with neural networks.
result Accurate value and policy approximations in high-dimensional problems, comparable to VFI in some cases.

Deep forecasting models show output heads significantly improve performance on fat-tailed financial returns.

problem Improving deep learning models for forecasting fat-tailed financial returns.
method Comparison of backbone architectures and output heads (point, Gaussian, Gaussian mixture) on S&P 500 monthly log-returns.
result Switching from point to Gaussian heads improves CRPS by about 1.3 percent, and from Gaussian to mixture adds another 2.4 percent.
