About the Presentations
This session has project presentations by two of our esteemed EPAT alumni. First on “Implementing pricing (or market-making) model using Kalman filtering adaptive to market regimes” by Evgeny Tishkin and second on “Dynamic Asset Allocation using Neural Networks” by Mrinal Mahajan.
Project 1: Implementing pricing (or market-making) model using Kalman filtering adaptive to market regimes
This project is aimed to share an example about how to use quantitative techniques of online machine learning in trading strategies development and improvement.
Online learning allows for deeper automation of algorithmic trading in comparison with traditional regular model retraining with subsequent cross-validation. This is because such models can adapt their parameters on the fly while being used in real-time trading simultaneously.
The real production strategies are far more complex than the ones which are used in the project as examples and include much deeper automation of a wider range of parameters. Nevertheless, incorporated online models have universal application and could be applied to different kinds of trading strategies from passive investing to high-frequency trading.

Project 2: Dynamic Asset Allocation using Neural Networks
The project aims at building an asset allocation strategy for stocks comprising the nifty bank index by leveraging daily returns prediction from a set of dynamic linear neural network used in trading.
The neural network models are dynamic and updated daily at the end of each trading day providing for reactivity to changes in market and stock trends in general. Besides that, the linearity of models accounts for an easy explanation of the results.
