In this paper we demonstrate both theoretically as well as numerically that neural networks can detect model-free static arbitrage opportunities whenever the market admits some.

Langevin dynamics based algorithm e-TH$\varepsilon$O POULA for stochastic optimization problems with discontinuous stochastic gradient

1 code implementation24 Oct 2022 Dong-Young Lim, Ariel Neufeld, Sotirios Sabanis, Ying Zhang

We introduce a new Langevin dynamics based algorithm, called e-TH$\varepsilon$O POULA, to solve optimization problems with discontinuous stochastic gradients which naturally appear in real-world applications such as quantile estimation, vector quantization, CVaR minimization, and regularized optimization problems involving ReLU neural networks.

1 code implementation30 Sep 2022 Ariel Neufeld, Julian Sester

We present a novel $Q$-learning algorithm to solve distributionally robust Markov decision problems, where the corresponding ambiguity set of transition probabilities for the underlying Markov decision process is a Wasserstein ball around a (possibly estimated) reference measure.

Forecasting directional movements of stock prices for intraday trading using LSTM and random forests
