We test the price momentum effect in the Korean stock markets under the momentum universe shrinkage to subuniverses of the KOSPI 200. Performance of the momentum strategy is not homogeneous with respect to change of the momentum universe. It is found that some submarkets generate the higher momentum returns than other …
This paper concentrates on the time series momentum or contrarian effects in the Chinese stock market. We evaluate the performance of the time series momentum strategy applied to major stock indices in mainland China and explore the relation between the performance of time series momentum strategies and some firm-speci…
The goal of this paper is to explore the relationship between momentum effects and liquidity in cryptocurrency markets. Portfolios based on momentum-liquidity bivariate sorts are formed and rebalanced on a varying number of cryptocurrencies through time. We find a strong momentum effect in the most liquid cryptocurrenc…
This paper explains why Adam generalizes worse than SGD by analyzing its components.
problem Understanding why Adam generalizes worse than Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD).
method Diffusion theoretical framework to disentangle the effects of Adaptive Learning Rate and Momentum.
result Adaptive Learning Rate helps escape saddle points but not select flat minima, while Momentum provides a drift effect to help pass through saddle points.
Study on weekly momentum strategies in Chinese stocks, comparing various risk metrics.
problem Investigate the performance and predictability of weekly momentum strategies in Chinese stocks.
method Used A-share individual stocks from 1997 to 2017, analyzing raw and idiosyncratic returns, and comparing IMOM portfolios with various risk metrics.
result IVol and IMD-based IMOM portfolios have better explanatory power and higher profitability.
Integrating adaptive learning rate and momentum techniques into SGD leads to a large class of efficiently accelerated adaptive stochastic algorithms, such as AdaGrad, RMSProp, Adam, AccAdaGrad, \textit{etc}. In spite of their effectiveness in practice, there is still a large gap in their theories of convergences, espec…
Asynchronous methods are widely used in deep learning, but have limited theoretical justification when applied to non-convex problems. We show that running stochastic gradient descent (SGD) in an asynchronous manner can be viewed as adding a momentum-like term to the SGD iteration. Our result does not assume convexity …
This paper investigates the time-varying risk-premium relation of the Chinese stock markets within the framework of cross-sectional momentum and contrarian effects by adopting the Capital Asset Pricing Model and the French-Fama three factor model. The evolving arbitrage opportunities are also studied by quantifying the…
Let a torus T act effectively on a compact connected cooriented contact manifold, and let Psi be the natural momentum map on the symplectization. We prove that, if dim T > 2, the union of the origin with the image of Psi is a convex polyhedral cone, the non-zero level sets of Psi are connected (while the zero level set…
This study examines the presence of the day-of-the-week effect on daily returns of biotechnology stocks over a 16-year period from January 2002 to December 2015. Using daily returns from the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index (NBI), we find that the stock returns were the lowest on Mondays, and compared to the Mondays the stoc…
We establish inequalities relating the size of a material body to its mass, angular momentum, and charge, within the context of axisymmetric initial data sets for the Einstein equations. These inequalities hold in general without the assumption of the maximal condition, and use a notion of size which is easily computab…
This paper presents generalized momentum mappings for covariant Hamiltonian field theories. The new momentum mappings arise from a generalization of symplectic geometry to LVY, the bundle of vertically adapted linear frames over the bundle of field configurations Y. Specifically, the generalized field momentum obs…
We give a detailed discussion about existence and uniqueness of Lu's momentum map. More precisely, we introduce the infinitesimal momentum map, and we study its properties. This allows us to describe the theory of reconstruction of the momentum map from the infinitesimal one. We provide the conditions for the uniquenes…
