• Abstract: We consider the viability of a modularised mechanistic online machine learning framework to learn signals in low-frequency financial time series data. The framework is proved on daily sampled closing time-series data from JSE equity markets. The input patterns are vectors of pre-processed sequences of daily, weekly and monthly or quarterly sampled feature changes. The data processing is split into a batch processed step where features are learnt using a stacked autoencoder via unsupervised learning, and then both batch and online supervised learning are carried out using these learnt features, with the output being a point prediction of measured time-series feature fluctuations. Weight initializations are implemented with restricted Boltzmann machine pre-training, and variance based initializations. Historical simulations are then run using an online feedforward neural network initialised with the weights from the batch training and validation step. The validity of results are considered under a rigorous assessment of backtest overfitting using both combinatorially symmetrical cross validation and probabilistic and deflated Sharpe ratios. Results are used to develop a view on the phenomenology of financial markets and the value of complex historical data-analysis for trading under the unstable adaptive dynamics that characterise financial markets.

  At Expedia, learning-to-rank models play a key role in sorting and presenting information more relevant to users. A major challenge in deploying these models is ensuring consistent feature scaling between training and production data. We introduce a scale-invariant LTR framework which combines a deep and a wide neural network to mathematically guarantee scale-invariance in the model at both training and prediction time. We evaluate our framework in simulated real-world scenarios with injected feature scale issues by perturbing the test set at prediction time, and show that even with inconsistent train-test scaling, using framework achieves better performance than

In experiments in multi-class classification we demonstrate the predictive ability of the model and its flexibility to capture non-stationarity.

  Recent has shown that machine learning (ML) models can be trained to accurately forecast the dynamics of chaotic dynamical systems. In the absence of mitigating techniques, this technique can result in artificially rapid error growth, leading to inaccurate predictions and/or climate instability. We introduce Linearized Multi-Noise Training (LMNT), a regularization technique that deterministically approximates the effect of many small, independent noise realizations added to the model input during training.

  We formalize a system where interactions with one model are recorded as history and scraped as training data in the future. We analyze its stability over time by tracking changes to a test-time bias statistic. We find that the degree of bias amplification is closely linked to whether the model's outputs behave like samples from the training distribution.
