    WaVeFuse: Regime-Adaptive Equity Index Forecasting via Channel-Wise Wavelet Denoising and Vertical Attention Fusion

    we backtested it — Sharpe 0.03 · quant relevance 0.98

    The paper proposes a daily equity-index directional forecasting and trading system based on OHLCV-derived technical indicators, wavelet denoising and a dual-branch deep-learning model. The reported results cover the paper’s own index universe, and causal feature construction is required to avoid look-ahead bias.

    Nature-inspired multi-objective artificial intelligence for short-horizon volatility-regime early warning and defensive asset allocation

    we backtested it — Sharpe 0.89 · quant relevance 0.96

    The paper develops a daily volatility-regime early-warning classifier and jointly optimizes probability calibration, feature selection, the decision threshold and a defensive SPY allocation policy. On the holdout, its complex metaheuristics do not generalize better than random search or a simple ridge-logistic/VIX baseline.

    Investor sentiment and stock portfolio construction: A study based on the black-litterman model

    quant relevance 0.98

    The paper combines Eastmoney forum sentiment, BERT-based sentiment classification, LSTM return forecasts and Black-Litterman optimization to allocate across eight Chinese large-cap stocks. It reports substantially improved prediction accuracy and backtested portfolio performance for the BERT-sentiment Black-Litterman specification.
