arXiv:2408.02694v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Inspired by recent advances in Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs), we introduce a novel approach to latent factor conditional asset pricing models. While previous machine learning applications in asset pricing have predominantly used Multilayer Perceptrons with ReLU activation functions to model latent factor exposures, our method introduces a KAN-based autoencoder which surpasses MLP models in both accuracy and interpretability. Our model offers enhanced flexibility in approximating exposures as nonlinear functions of asset characteristics, while simultaneously providing users with an intuitive framework for interpreting latent factors. Empirical backtesting demonstrates our model's superior ability to explain cross-sectional risk exposures.…

arXiv:2408.03033v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This article details our participation (L3iTC) in the FinLLM Challenge Task 2024, focusing on two key areas: Task 1, financial text classification, and Task 2, financial text summarization. To address these challenges, we fine-tuned several large language models (LLMs) to optimize performance for each task. Specifically, we used 4-bit quantization and LoRA to determine which layers of the LLMs should be trained at a lower precision. This approach not only accelerated the fine-tuning process on the training data provided by the organizers but also enabled us to run the models on low GPU memory. Our…
