Develops a new class of forward performance processes for investment pools.
We propose an extended public goods interaction model to study the evolution of cooperation in heterogeneous population. The investors are arranged on the well known scale-free type network, the Barabási-Albert model. Each investor is supposed to preferentially distribute capital to pools in its portfolio based on the …
We use the theory of large deviations to study the pricing of investment-grade tranches of synthetic CDO's. In this paper, we consider a heterogeneous pool of names. Our main tool is a large-deviations analysis which allows us to precisely study the behavior of a large amount of idiosyncratic randomness. Our calculatio…
Optimizes investment strategies for retirees with longevity risk.
Analyzes how many people can receive stable income in a pooled annuity fund.
We use the theory of large deviations to study the pricing of investment-grade tranches of synthetic CDO's. In this paper, we consider a simplified model which will allow us to introduce some of the concepts and calculations.
Examines climate financing for renewable energy projects using structured funds.
We consider the effect of recovery rates on a pool of credit assets. We allow the recovery rate to depend on the defaults in a general way. Using the theory of large deviations, we study the structure of losses in a pool consisting of a continuum of types. We derive the corresponding rate function and show that it has …
Maximizing withdrawal success in a pooled annuity fund with multiple annuitants.
G3M impermanent losses are a key issue in decentralized finance, affecting diversification benefits.
Optimal design of automated market makers for decentralized exchanges.
Paper proposes NNAFC for automatic financial factor construction.
In this paper we consider a variation of the Merton's problem with added stochastic volatility and finite time horizon. It is known that the corresponding optimal control problem may be reduced to a linear parabolic boundary problem under some assumptions on the underlying process and the utility function. The resultin…
Framework to generalize impermanent loss for decentralized exchanges.
Covered bonds are a specific example of senior secured debt. If the issuer of the bonds defaults the proceeds of the assets in the cover pool are used for their debt service. If in this situation the cover pool proceeds do not suffice for the debt service, the creditors of the bonds have recourse to the issuer's assets…
There is growing interest in the design of pension annuities that insure against idiosyncratic longevity risk while pooling and sharing systematic risk. This is partially motivated by the desire to reduce capital and reserve requirements while retaining the value of mortality credits; see for example Piggott, Valdez an…
This paper studies liquidity providers in decentralized exchanges.
Improved forecasting of investment dynamics across heterogeneous panels using a two-stage model.
An interbank market lets participants pool the risk arising from the combination of illiquid investments and random withdrawals by depositors. But it also creates the potential for one bank's failure to trigger off avalanches of further failures. We simulate a model of interbank lending to study the interplay of these …
Long-term investors, different from short-term traders, focus on examining the underlying forces that affect the well-being of a company. They rely on fundamental analysis which attempts to measure the intrinsic value an equity. Quantitative investment researchers have identified some value factors to determine the cos…
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved remarkable performance in many applications, especially in image recognition tasks. As a crucial component of CNNs, sub-sampling plays an important role for efficient training or invariance property, and max-pooling and arithmetic average-pooling are commonly used sub-…
Optimizes retirement income with MBGs and neural networks for longevity risk.
A new tontine design aims to protect longevity risk with non-indexed investments.
Global catastrophe risk pools increase financial resilience by diversifying risk and including more countries.
New methods for equity fund selection and portfolio construction using mutual fund top holdings.
In most convolution neural networks (CNNs), downsampling hidden layers is adopted for increasing computation efficiency and the receptive field size. Such operation is commonly so-called pooling. Maximation and averaging over sliding windows (max/average pooling), and plain downsampling in the form of strided convoluti…
Migration crisis, climate change or tax havens: Global challenges need global solutions. But agreeing on a joint approach is difficult without a common ground for discussion. Public spheres are highly segmented because news are mainly produced and received on a national level. Gain- ing a global view on international d…
New image classifier uses hierarchical max-pooling with local pooling.
Alpha-R1 uses LLMs to reason about economic factors and news for better alpha screening.
We seek to improve deep neural networks by generalizing the pooling operations that play a central role in current architectures. We pursue a careful exploration of approaches to allow pooling to learn and to adapt to complex and variable patterns. The two primary directions lie in (1) learning a pooling function via (…
Optimizes diversification in catastrophe risk pooling using asymptotic analysis.
An efficient algorithm identifies labels from sparse pooled data.
This paper investigates the impact of dark pools on price discovery (the efficiency of prices on stock exchanges to aggregate information). Assets are traded in either an exchange or a dark pool, with the dark pool offering better prices but lower execution rates. Informed traders receive noisy and heterogeneous signal…
This research simplifies lending pools in decentralized finance for better understanding and security.
Graph Neural Network (GNN) research has concentrated on improving convolutional layers, with little attention paid to developing graph pooling layers. Yet pooling layers can enable GNNs to reason over abstracted groups of nodes instead of single nodes. To close this gap, we propose a graph pooling layer relying on the …
Study reveals risks of investing in new crypto-tokens in decentralized exchanges.
New approach reduces malware detection memory requirements and speeds up training.
Develops a novel global pooling framework using optimal transport.
We consider interactive algorithms in the pool-based setting, and in the stream-based setting. Interactive algorithms observe suggested elements (representing actions or queries), and interactively select some of them and receive responses. Pool-based algorithms can select elements at any order, while stream-based algo…
In this work we compute lower Lipschitz bounds of pooling operators for as well as pooling operators preceded by half-rectification layers. These give sufficient conditions for the design of invertible neural network layers. Numerical experiments on MNIST and image patches confirm tha…
We propose a novel graph pooling operation using cliques as the unit pool. As this approach is purely topological, rather than featural, it is more readily interpretable, a better analogue to image coarsening than filtering or pruning techniques, and entirely nonparametric. The operation is implemented within graph con…
Proposes a graph pooling method leveraging node proximity for hierarchical graph representation learning.
EarnMore uses masked stock representations to train RL agents for customizable stock pools efficiently.
Global pooling, such as max- or sum-pooling, is one of the key ingredients in deep neural networks used for processing images, texts, graphs and other types of structured data. Based on the recent DeepSets architecture proposed by Zaheer et al. (NIPS 2017), we introduce a Set Aggregation Network (SAN) as an alternative…
Graph neural networks, which generalize deep neural network models to graph structured data, have attracted increasing attention in recent years. They usually learn node representations by transforming, propagating and aggregating node features and have been proven to improve the performance of many graph related tasks…
