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
