What the paper says

In this paper we present a machine learning technique that can be used in conjunction with multi-period trade schedule optimization used in program trading. The technique is based on an artificial neural network (ANN) model that determines a better starting solution for the non-linear optimization routine. This technique provides calculation time improvements that are 30% faster for small baskets (<i>n</i> = 10 <i>stocks</i>), 50% faster for baskets of (<i>n</i> = 100 <i>stocks</i>) and up to 70% faster for large baskets (<i>n</i> ≥ 300 <i>stocks</i>). Unlike many of the industry approaches that use heuristics and numerical approximation, our machine learning approach solves for the exact problem and provides a dramatic improvement in calculation time. <b>TOPICS:</b>Big data/machine learning, portfolio construction, performance measurement
