Improves industry classification for diversified companies.

problem Traditional industry classification struggles with multi-sector conglomerates.
method Bayesian Non-Parametrics, Markov Updating, and hierarchical modeling.
result MIS-2 provides a measurable improvement over GICS in predicting future correlations.

Inverse classification is the process of perturbing an instance in a meaningful way such that it is more likely to conform to a specific class. Historical methods that address such a problem are often framed to leverage only a single classifier, or specific set of classifiers. These works are often accompanied by naive…

In this paper, we consider the pricing of derivative products that involve dynamic hedging strategies and payments within the planning horizon. Equity-indexed annuities (EIAs), Guaranteed investment certificate (GIC), American and Barrier options are typical examples of these products. Our exploration involves evaluati…

Paper proposes a closed-form formula for geometric Istanbul call options.

problem Pricing geometric Istanbul call options under the Black-Scholes model.
method Second-order Taylor expansion to derive a closed-form approximation.
result The proposed formula accurately approximates GIC values compared to Monte-Carlo simulations.

Develops MIS, a probabilistic model for multi-industry classification.

problem GICS's limitation of assigning each firm to exactly one industry, especially for diversified firms.
method Topic modeling to probabilistically assign firms to multiple industries based on business descriptions.
result Demonstrates MIS's ability to flexibly assign firms to multiple industries with relevance probabilities.

Learning representation on graph plays a crucial role in numerous tasks of pattern recognition. Different from grid-shaped images/videos, on which local convolution kernels can be lattices, however, graphs are fully coordinate-free on vertices and edges. In this work, we propose a Gaussian-induced convolution (GIC) fra…

Determining how to appropriately select the tuning parameter is essential in penalized likelihood methods for high-dimensional data analysis. We examine this problem in the setting of penalized likelihood methods for generalized linear models, where the dimensionality of covariates p is allowed to increase exponentiall…

Graph InfoClust learns node representations by capturing cluster-level information, improving graph mining tasks.

problem Leveraging cluster-level node information for unsupervised graph representation learning.
method Graph InfoClust (GIC) uses a differentiable K-means method to compute clusters and jointly optimizes mutual information between nodes of the same cluster.
result GIC outperforms state-of-the-art methods in various downstream tasks with a 0.9% to 6.1% gain.

Market sectors play a key role in the efficient flow of capital through the modern Global economy. We analyze existing sectorization heuristics, and observe that the most popular - the GICS (which informs the S&P 500), and the NAICS (published by the U.S. Government) - are not entirely quantitatively driven, but rather…

The study distills news sources to analyze stock reactions, finding sentiment has asymmetric and sector-specific effects.

problem Analyzing the influence of financial text sources on stock reactions.
method Mixed text sources from professional platforms, blogs, and message boards were distilled using different lexica to analyze sentiment variables.
result Sentiment has an asymmetric and sector-specific effect on stock reactions.

Study finds price-based clustering outperforms AI and human methods in stock market analysis.

problem Investigates if AI can improve stock clustering compared to traditional methods.
method Compares price-based, human-informed, and AI-driven clustering methods using synthetic factor models.
result Price-based clustering reduces RMSE by 15.9% relative to GICS and 14.7% relative to LLM embeddings.

In this paper, we apply tools from the random matrix theory (RMT) to estimates of correlations across volatility of various assets in the S&P 500. The volatility inputs are estimated by modeling price fluctuations as GARCH(1,1) process. The corresponding correlation matrix is constructed. It is found that the distribut…

Financial markets have been extensively studied as highly complex evolving systems. In this paper, we quantify financial price fluctuations through a coupled dynamical system composed of phase oscillators. We find a Financial Coherence and Incoherence (FCI) coexistence collective behavior emerges as the system evolves …

We present a novel algorithm that predicts the probability that the time derivative of the horizontal component of the ground magnetic field dB/dtdB/dt exceeds a specified threshold at a given location. This quantity provides important information that is physically relevant to Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GIC), whic…

This paper considers a portfolio trading strategy formulated by algorithms in the field of machine learning. The profitability of the strategy is measured by the algorithm's capability to consistently and accurately identify stock indices with positive or negative returns, and to generate a preferred portfolio allocati…
