Abstract
Most publications in Financial ML seem concerned with forecasting prices. While these are worthy endeavors, Financial ML can offer so much more. In this presentation, we review a few important applications that go beyond price forecasting:
1. Portfolio construction
2. Structural breaks
3. Bet sizing
4. Feature importance
5. Detection of false investment strategies (backtest overfitting).
Keywords: Machine learning, artificial intelligence, backtest overfitting
