TAPES: Terminal Adjoint-Propagated Error Scheduling for Financial Diffusion Samplers

Yilie Huang

原文摘要

Financial diffusion samplers are often reused with a small number of function evaluations (NFE) inside scenario and risk pipelines, where numerical time-grid error can distort terminal quantities such as covariances, tails, and drawdown proxies. We study offline grid construction for a frozen probability-flow ODE: the score network, conditioning, Euler solver, report normalization, and deployment NFE remain fixed. TAPES (Terminal Adjoint-Propagated Error Scheduling) estimates signed local defects by Richardson comparisons, transports them through the remaining discrete flow and a terminal-report adjoint, and optimizes the squared norm of their sum before a capped direct refinement. We show that this transported signed sum is the first-order terminal-report error and quantify, under an aligned-defect model, the inefficiency of diagonal criteria. Across six budgets on a regime-switching simulation and chronologically held-out Mag7 contexts, TAPES gives the lowest design- and audit-report errors in all 24 dataset--budget--report rows within the reported five-pipeline panel. Cross-budget mean relative audit-error reductions are about 10--11% on Regime-SV and about 1% on Mag7, with Bonferroni intervals excluding zero; all displayed winners persist under a doubled-resolution reference, and a small Regime-SV Heun probe preserves the TAPES-first audit ordering. TAPES changes only the offline schedule and retains the prescribed deployment NFE; claims concern numerical fidelity to frozen generators.

Accuracy Is Not Welfare: Evaluating AI Buyers under Strategic Price Complexity in a Synthetic Duopoly

Ning Jiaqu

原文摘要

AI buying agents may alter sellers' incentives as well as consumers' decisions. In a synthetic duopoly, we evaluate price-comparison pipelines on a fixed menu and in empirical correlated-equilibrium games. Calculator assistance selects an optimal offer 84.00% of the time, versus 68.57% under verified-total disclosure, yet disclosure has a 20.14-unit higher consumer-worst equilibrium surplus. A frozen-strategy holdout comparison favors disclosure, while re-solving equilibria under scenario resampling produces a range spanning zero. These model-based results show why accuracy, loss severity, seller incentives, and welfare incidence require separate measurement.

Tabular Foundation Models in Financial Predictions

Ed deHaan, Allen H. Huang

原文摘要

This technical note introduces tabular foundation models (TFMs) to accounting research and evaluates their performance in one common benchmark task: predicting firms' next-year earnings changes. TFMs produce numeric predictions and learn in context, without post-release training or tuning, making them natural and easy to use for forecasting. The TFMs we study are pretrained on synthetic tabular data, so they avoid look-ahead bias from memorizing firms' outcomes. We compare Google Research's TabFM with a fine-tuned open-weight large language model developed in recent accounting research and with several tree-based models. TabFM is more accurate than all comparison models. It is also faster and less computationally intensive than the large language model. Several tree-based specifications produce predictions more quickly than TabFM, so choosing between them involves a trade-off between accuracy and speed. We conclude that TFMs have promise as a new tool for forecasting in accounting and finance. However, our evaluation is based on a single benchmark task, and no class of models is likely to dominate in all settings.

Generative AI, Managerial Expectations, and Economic Activity

Manish Jha, Jialin Qian, Michael Weber, Baozhong Yang

原文摘要

Using generative AI, we extract managers' economic expectations from over 120,000 corporate conference call transcripts. The resulting AI Economy Score predicts GDP growth, production, employment, and wages five or more quarters ahead, beyond survey forecasts and other existing measures. Industry- and firm-level scores capture sector- and firm-specific activity, and a composite of firm, industry, and macroeconomic expectations further improves forecasting power and horizon. Predictability concentrates among historically more accurate, less biased managers, consistent with an information rather than a noise channel. Managerial expectations thus offer incremental insights into economic activity, with implications for macro- and microeconomic decision-making.

INEUS: Iterative Neural Solver for High-Dimensional PIDEs

Jean-Loup Dupret, Davide Gallon, Patrick Cheridito

原文摘要

In this paper, we introduce INEUS, a meshfree iterative neural solver for partial integro-differential equations (PIDEs). The method replaces the explicit evaluation of nonlocal jump integrals with single-jump sampling and reformulates PIDE solving as a sequence of recursive regression problems. Like Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), INEUS learns global solutions over the entire space-time domain, yet it offers a more efficient treatment of nonlocal terms and avoids the computationally expensive differentiation of full PIDE residuals. These features make INEUS particularly well suited for high-dimensional PDEs and PIDEs. Supported by a contraction-based convergence proof for linear PIDEs, our numerical experiments show that INEUS delivers accurate and scalable solutions for various high-dimensional linear and nonlinear examples.

Risk-Sensitive Reinforcement Learning for an Options Market Maker: An Empirical Study with Real S&P 500 Options

Jacky Chen, Ing-Haw Cheng, John Hull, Landis Li, Zissis Poulos, Justin Shi, Andreas Veneris, Zeyu Wang

原文摘要

Options market makers absorb client order flow and must hedge the resulting inventory risk under trading frictions. We study whether an option hedging reinforcement learning (RL) agent trained on historical market data outperforms three alternatives in tail-risk protection: (i) traditional delta hedging, (ii) simple hedge-ratio rules, and (iii) the same agent trained in simulated markets. Most RL hedging agents are trained in model-generated markets that do not capture the crashes and volatility regimes present in real data. We introduce an empirical replay environment using S&P 500 option data from 1996 to 2017 and compare against a matched geometric Brownian motion (GBM) environment, a stochastic-volatility (SABR) simulator, and a hybrid that values historical paths with Black-Scholes, all sharing the same portfolio mechanics, stochastic arrivals, costs, and test period. We train a distributional Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (TD3) agent and evaluate it out of sample over 2018-2023. The agent trained on empirical data reduces Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) tail loss by 3.1% compared to delta hedging and outperforms every hedge-ratio rule chosen during the training period and every alternative training environment. The reduction reaches 8.9% in volatile and falling markets, but reverses to a cost of 7-10% in rising markets. Empirical training induces a state-dependent short net delta: the policy under-hedges negative-delta books, most strongly after prices have fallen. This tilt disappears with GBM training and is weaker with SABR or hybrid training. These findings suggest that exposure to historical market dynamics can materially change a tail-risk hedging policy, although the evidence rests on a single test path and the edge is regime-conditional.

Trained, Frozen, or Absent: Identifying What a Quantum Layer Contributes to Cross-Sectional Equity Ranking

Chi-Sheng Chen, Xinyu Zhang, En-Jui Kuo, Rong Fu, Qiuzhe Xie, Fan Zhang

原文摘要

Hybrid quantumclassical models are increasingly proposed for nancial prediction, but reported gains are rarely separated from the classical components around them. We study a hybrid quantum temporal convolutional network for daily cross-sectional ranking of 2000 Tokyo Stock Exchange equities under a protocol built to make the quantum contribution identiable: six conditions (circuit trained, frozen or absent, a parameter-matched classical surrogate, and the circuit alone, trained or frozen) through one code path; four walk-forward folds with ve seeds; bootstrap intervals, Deated Sharpe Ratios, backtest-overtting probabilities and family-wise error control; ve classical baselines including a gradient-boosted tree; and a locked holdout. On 500 out-of-sample days two one-sided tests place the trained-versus-frozen dierence inside 0.03 annualised Sharpe (p = 0.0055, minimum detectable eect 0.02): the circuit is equivalent to a frozen one, not merely indistinguishable from it. With the circuit as the head's only input the two are equivalent inside 0.25; against the network with no circuit the design resolves only 0.50. No condition is distinguishable from zero (best De-ated Sharpe Ratio 0.17). The holdout reproduces the ablation on a protable window, and 2000 US equities reproduce it where every condition loses money.

Soft-Radial Projection for Constrained End-to-End Learning

Philipp J. Schneider, Daniel Kuhn

原文摘要

Constrained end-to-end learning trains neural networks whose outputs must satisfy feasibility constraints, such as resource, budget, or operational limits. While projection and optimization layers guarantee constraint satisfaction, boundary-based projections can introduce unfavorable optimization geometry: regions of the unconstrained output space are mapped to the same active face of the feasible set. This makes the resulting map locally rank-deficient, suppressing gradients in constrained directions and potentially impairing optimization - a bottleneck known as gradient saturation. We propose Soft-Radial Projection (SRP), a differentiable reparameterization layer that maps unconstrained network outputs into the relative interior of a convex feasible set by smoothly rescaling rays from a strictly feasible anchor point. Unlike hard radial or orthogonal projections, the resulting map is one-to-one and has a full-rank Jacobian almost everywhere, while guaranteeing strict feasibility. We prove that constrained networks equipped with SRP retain universal approximation guarantees. For polytopes and balls, the layer admits a closed-form forward pass, while for general convex sets, the ray-boundary intersection reduces to a one-dimensional search. Experiments on decision-focused learning benchmarks demonstrate strong solution quality at low computational cost, with particularly favorable results in portfolio optimization and substantially lower inference latency than differentiable optimization layers in the evaluated settings.

Towards Robust Reinforcement Learning Market Making: Lessons from Loss Function Experimentation

Siddharth Nand, Bora Guney

原文摘要

Market makers play a vital role in ensuring efficient trade within financial markets. Recent literature has delved into training market-making systems using reinforcement learning. This paper delves into the impact of various loss function formulations on risk management behavior within reinforcement-based market making. Through empirical evaluation, we contrast profit-maximizing strategies with risk-averse approaches, finding that penalties for inventory and cash management foster more resilient and adaptable market-making strategies. Our results underscore the significance of striking a balance between profit maximization and risk management in algorithmic trading, providing actionable insights for refining strategies in practical settings.

Deep Neural Operator Learning for Probabilistic Models

Erhan Bayraktar, Qi Feng, Zecheng Zhang, Zhaoyu Zhang

原文摘要

We propose a deep neural-operator framework for a general class of probabilistic models. Under global Lipschitz conditions on the operator over the entire Euclidean space-and for a broad class of probabilistic models-we establish a universal approximation theorem with explicit network-size bounds for the proposed architecture. The underlying stochastic processes are required only to satisfy integrability and general tail-probability conditions. We verify these assumptions for both European and American option-pricing problems within the forward-backward SDE (FBSDE) framework, which in turn covers a broad class of operators arising from parabolic PDEs, with or without free boundaries. Finally, we present a numerical example for a basket of American options, demonstrating that the learned model produces optimal stopping boundaries for new strike prices without retraining.

FINCOSMOS: An Open-World Evaluation Paradigm for Agents in Finance

Yupeng Cao, Xueqing Peng, Lingfei Qian, Haohang Li, Yangyang Yu, Anke Xu, Wenbo Cao, Yan Wang 等 17 位作者

原文摘要

Language agents increasingly work for users on the open Web, and finance is where trusting them is hardest. The data must come from the Web, the strategy lives in the user's head, and correctness depends on time, so an agent can fail silently: a strategy the user never asked for, unverified data, or a backtest that uses the future yields a report as convincing as a correct one. Existing benchmarks close the world somewhere, fixing the task, the data, or the timeline, and thereby remove these failures instead of measuring them. We introduce FINCOSMOS, an open-world evaluation paradigm for agents doing financial work. A simulated user holds a hidden strategy sampled from a compositional grammar and reveals it only when asked. The agent receives no data, so it must acquire data from the Web, build its own backtest under a data cutoff, and deliver verifiable results. Grading needs no reference answer. Programs verify point-in-time correctness and recompute every reported metric, the delivered strategy is checked against the hidden specification, and a run is accepted only when the user is satisfied and none of 15 veto checks fails. Across four coding agents and a model without tools in 150 sessions, no session is accepted: every session that the simulated user signed off fails a program check, and agents raise only 54--64\% of the details they were not told. Human experts attribute 88.33\% of failures to the agents. With FINCOSMOS feedback, an agent with persistent memory learned all ten tasks.

FinMultiHopQA: A KG-Grounded Multi-Hop Financial QA Benchmark for Evidence-Driven Reasoning

Abhinav Arun, Reetu Raj Harsh, Bhaskarjit Sarmah, Stefano Pasquali

原文摘要

Multi-hop financial question answering often requires composing evidence distributed across filing sections, fiscal years, and peer companies. Prior financial QA benchmarks address parts of this problem individually, but none jointly support controlled multi-hop taxonomies, document topologies, motif-level reproducibility, and provenance-linked auditability at scale. We introduce FinMultiHopQA, a benchmark of 15,600 qualitative and quantitative questions, grounded in FinReflectKG, a temporally indexed financial knowledge graph derived from SEC 10-K filings with 17.5M+ triples. The pipeline instantiates statistically salient 2-3 hop typed KG motifs across intra-document, inter-year, and cross-company regimes. Beyond closing this gap, the same construction lets us hold each question's underlying evidence constant while varying only its presentation - embedding it in noisy surrounding context or changing its order - giving a controlled instrument to study a secondary question at scale: using six such presentations, we test whether reasoning LLMs' performance depends on evidence structure. Results confirm this: despite their reasoning capacity, judged correctness remains consistently lower under less-structured presentations of the same evidence - most sharply for quantitative cross-company reasoning and 3-hop branch motifs - indicating that reasoning alone does not fully offset how evidence is structured; KG-linked presentation also uses fewer input tokens by design. We release the benchmark, provenance annotations, model outputs, evaluation records, and supporting technical documentation.

Safe Portfolio Learning from Untrusted Predictions: Signed Trust, Abstention, and Cross-Universe Polarity Failure

Amirhossein MohammadpourAzari, Mohammad Zarei, MohammadAmin Fazli

原文摘要

Portfolio use of machine predictions must often proceed while the predictions' economic direction, reliability, and timing remain untrusted, and while feedback from overlapping multi-period positions arrives with delay. A controller chooses among Safe, Follow, and Reverse portfolio actions, so signal orientation is learned rather than assumed. A share-adaptive master updates action probabilities from matured Safe-relative rewards, an evidence gate can abstain by transferring unsupported directional probability to Safe, a delayed collateral budget reserves worst-case loss capacity before exposure is funded, and a protected split account caps the capital adaptive decisions may touch. The architecture carries a dual certificate, tracking regret against switching action sequences under delay and one-sided intervention, together with a pathwise collateral safety bound that holds when predictions fail. On a 24-stock development universe a conservative prediction-assisted overlay stays near equal-weight performance at a fraction of the turnover. On a frozen 82-stock holdout, the pre-specified Reverse orientation fails to outperform Equal Weight; a separately labeled post-holdout diagnostic shows that permanently flipping the sign to Follow also does not recover a return edge. Under the post-holdout controller, protected wealth remains within 15.9 basis points of the Safe benchmark throughout. The contribution is safe adaptive use of untrusted predictions, not demonstrated alpha.

CosmosAlpha: Multi-Relational Graph Search with Pareto-Guided Exploration for LLM-Driven Alpha Mining

Zhan-He Wang, Zi-Yang Lang, Yi-Yang Li, Qing-Yu Lan, Yun-Song Piao

原文摘要

Discovering predictive alpha factors from noisy financial data is a fundamental yet challenging problem in quantitative finance. LLM-driven formulaic alpha mining offers an attractive paradigm by combining interpretable symbolic expressions with iterative generation and refinement guided by quantitative feedback. However, existing generation-centric and tree-based search strategies primarily organize factors through generation lineage, leaving structural and statistical relationships across search branches underutilized. Consequently, information remains localized along parent--child trajectories, which can confine exploration to redundant regions. Moreover, effective factor discovery must account for multiple distinct objectives that cannot be adequately captured by a single search criterion. We introduce CosmosAlpha, a graph-based LLM factor-mining framework that represents discovered factors as a multi-relational graph encoding generation lineage, expression-structure similarity, and cross-sectional exposure correlation. A Graph Flow mechanism propagates search utilities across the graph, allowing each factor to be assessed using relational evidence from nearby factors rather than in isolation. Pareto-guided selection jointly considers quality, fertility and diversity, explicitly modeling their trade-offs within a multi-objective search framework. Across CSI 300 and CSI 500, CosmosAlpha-Graph achieves the best mean rank over seven predictive and portfolio metrics and outperforms its controlled CosmosAlpha-MCTS counterpart on every reported metric, showing a consistent advantage for relational graph search in LLM-driven factor mining.

Herding or Racing? Decomposing Cross-Account Order-Flow Persistence in On-Chain Markets

Yichong Bai, Dingyue Kan

原文摘要

Most of the autocorrelation in trade signs on decentralized exchanges comes from pairs of trades sent by different wallets. For Uniswap v3, this has been read as herding dominating order splitting -- the reverse of what equity markets show. We show that this herding share mixes two quantities: the probability $p$ that consecutive orders come from the same account, which is small when thousands of wallets are trading, and the ratio $κ$ of cross-account to same-account sign correlation. For any $p$, $κ$ equals one under the public-signal benchmark of Tóth et al. and zero under independent order splitting. On Uniswap v3 USDC-WETH (one week each in 2023 and 2024), the herding share is 0.65-0.86, but $κ$ is only 0.05-0.10. On a fully on-chain EVM limit order book, the herding share is similar (0.61-0.87), but $κ$ is 0.72-0.76; among Uniswap swaps above USD 100k, it is 0.34-0.52. Where $κ$ is high, cross-account co-movement is mostly a race for the price on a centralized exchange. It is concentrated in orders a few blocks apart, and a cross-fitted gradient-boosted filter that sees only Binance data removes about three quarters or more of it. This race flow accounts for most of the losses of liquidity providers. We recommend reporting $κ$ alongside the herding share and modeling on-chain order flow as splitting traders plus arbitrageurs who respond to the centralized-exchange price.

Beyond Binary Detection: Type-Aware Hallucination Analysis and Hierarchical Detection in Financial Question Answering

Xiongyu Chen, Sizhen Zhu, Zhuoer Wang

原文摘要

Large language models are increasingly used to answer questions over financial filings, where an unfaithful answer can mislead investment, compliance, or client decisions. Hallucination detectors are a common safeguard, but they are usually evaluated with a single binary score that reveals neither which kinds of errors analysesed nor why. This paper studies hallucination detection on PHANTOM, a long-context benchmark built from SEC filings, at the level of hallucination type. We first analyze 15,443 paired hallucinated and faithful answers without any detector and find that hallucinated answers are more than twice as long as faithful ones, and that lexical grounding separates the two classes only because faithful answers are bimodal. We then generate hallucinations in nine financially motivated categories, confirm each with a separate verification pass, and diagnose an LLM-based detector on 4,086 usable examples. Generation success varies from 66.3% to 100% across categories. The detector reaches 80.2% binary accuracy but only 44.7% subtype accuracy, never assigns two of the nine categories, and misses between 5.3% and 46.8% of hallucinations depending on category; these misses are unrelated to input length but rise with how far an answer departs from the correct one. Guided by this diagnosis, we propose a two-stage hierarchical detector that first decides whether an answer is hallucinated and then assigns a subtype, raising binary accuracy to 95.6% and subtype accuracy to 56.1%. The results show that type-level evaluation exposes detector weaknesses that aggregate metrics conceal.

Long-term yields of short-rate models as Feynman-Kac ground states: a variational quantum eigensolver with single-setting energy estimation on two NISQ platforms

Doyeol "David" Ahn

原文摘要

We show that the long-term yield of a short-rate model is the ground-state energy of a Schrodinger operator obtained from the Feynman-Kac bond-pricing equation, so that it can be computed by a variational quantum eigensolver (VQE). We treat the Vasicek, Cox-Ingersoll-Ross and Black-Karasinski models; the last has no closed form. Calibrated monthly to the U.S. Treasury curve from 1985 to 2026, the long-term yield follows the 30-year yield with an in-sample correlation of 0.98. The Hamiltonian is stoquastic, so its ground state is positive and the energy can be estimated from computational-basis samples with a single measurement setting. On ibm_cleveland, gate noise appears mainly as bit flips of the high-order qubits. A bit-flip deconvolution with a tail set fixed by a WKB criterion, combined with readout mitigation and zero-noise extrapolation, gives four-qubit estimates within 33-125 bp of the grid ground-state energies for all three models, and within 23-67 bp for Treasury-calibrated parameters. On IonQ Forte Enterprise the same analysis reduces the error in the same proportions. On the same circuits, a Pauli-measurement VQE deviates by 791-1,129 bp, so the single-setting estimator gives about ten times smaller errors with one setting instead of nine. An on-device VQE converges from 4,939 bp to 130 bp.

HARN: Hierarchical Associative Resonance Network for Event-Driven Multi-Timeframe Forecasting

Nabeel Ahmad Saidd

原文摘要

Live financial forecasting must synchronize asynchronous bar completions across timeframes without using stale or unavailable information. We introduce HARN (Hierarchical Associative Resonance Network), an event-driven architecture that anchors each event to the finest configured timeframe and maintains persistent states and matrix-valued associative memories across temporal levels. Its timestamp-masked transition updates a level only when its completed-bar timestamp matches the current anchor, preserving inactive representations. HARN integrates causal multi-scale encoding, residual-driven gated associative writes, all-to-all cross-level resonance, and ordered bottom-up evidence aggregation to produce forecasts at each temporal level. Predictions are expressed as basis-point changes and reconstructed on the price scale for evaluation. We evaluate HARN on four assets spanning equities, foreign exchange, and gold (AAPL, EURUSD, USDCHF, and XAUUSD), using chronological 70/15/15 splits, 32-bar lookbacks, one-step horizons, and three random seeds. HARN obtains lower anchor-timeframe test mean absolute errors (MAEs) than the evaluated single-timeframe PatchTST and TimeXer baselines on all four assets. HARN's MAEs are 0.508, 0.000306, 0.000263, and 2.552, respectively; PatchTST records 2.074, 0.000759, 0.000638, and 9.563, while TimeXer records 2.882, 0.010838, 0.014144, and 15.297. These descriptive comparisons do not isolate architectural effects from differences in inputs, target formulations, or training procedures. Single-run component ablations on AAPL and EURUSD show small, non-monotonic differences. The results demonstrate HARN's feasibility for asynchronous multi-timeframe forecasting, while motivating controlled comparisons and broader ablations to establish its relative advantages and component contributions.

Same Error, Different Function: The Optimizer as an Implicit Prior in Financial Time Series

Federico Vittorio Cortesi, Giuseppe Iannone, Giulia Crippa, Tomaso Poggio, Pierfrancesco Beneventano

原文摘要

Neural networks applied to financial time series operate in a regime of underspecification, where predictors achieve comparable out-of-sample error. Using large-scale volatility forecasting for S&P 500 stocks--twelve architecture-optimizer configurations, thirteen seeds each, evaluated on 564,795 held-out observations--we show that comparable test loss conceals measurably different predictors. In eleven of twelve comparisons, models trained from identical initialization and identical data order diverge $1.3$ to $7.8$ times further than repeated runs of either optimizer alone, ruling out initialization noise as the explanation. On a common scale, predictions differ by 5--17\% of the typical forecast error while the models' error magnitudes differ by less than 0.7\% of it. The divergence reshapes nonlinear response profiles, temporal dependence, and ultimately decisions: volatility-ranked portfolios trace a Sharpe-turnover frontier with up to 58\% turnover dispersion at comparable gross Sharpe ratios. In underspecified settings, optimization is a consequential source of inductive bias, and model evaluation must extend beyond scalar loss to functional and decision-level behavior.

FinAutoRubric: Expert-Guided Automatic Rubric Generation for Evaluating Financial Research Agents

Hoyoung Lee, Suyeol Yun, Jack Haverty, Yunju Cho, Meesong Kim, Daekyung Park, Sumin Kim, Jihoon Kwon 等 20 位作者

原文摘要

Evaluating finance research agents requires rubrics that reflect expert standards and fix the values correct as of an information cutoff. Expert-reviewed finance benchmarks rely on fixed, per-item rubrics, which are costly to extend and cannot encode each institution's own standard. In FinAutoRubric, experts specify reusable evaluation guidance, while agents and code carry out query-specific rubric generation, review, and validation. This expert guidance governs every agent, as prompts and as rules that code enforces, and a Task Bank of reusable criteria carries it across tasks. In long-horizon loops that follow the expert guidance, a writer agent researches every expected value and a reviewer agent verifies it, and failures escalate to a human. On three expert-authored finance benchmarks, its rubrics track expert scoring as closely as the strongest evaluated generator while stating the expert rubric's expected value for more criteria, their scores agree with human grading, and in-house analysts prefer them in a blind review. The released 100-query FinAutoRubric Benchmark, built from in-house analysts' key questions across 78 tasks and eight asset classes, shows that rubrics from an earlier model generation still leave headroom for a later one.
