  • Neural Dynamic Portfolio Control with Provable Learning Guarantees | Yizhe Huang, Rui Gao, Shuang Li, Luhao Zhang (Submitted/Under Review)

    Are there neural approaches to portfolio control that incorporate historical returns with provable end-to-end global guarantees? See more… »

  • Nonsmooth Riemannian Optimization with Inexact Information | Mateo Díaz and Benjamin Grimmer (In-Preparation)

    Can nonsmooth convex Riemannian optimization admit nonasymptotic convergence rates using only subgradients, first-order retractions, and vector transports? See more… »

  • Wasserstein Barycenters on Unknown Submanifolds of Wasserstein Space | Mauro Maggioni (In-Preparation)

    Given only a local sampler of a non-convex submanifold of Wasserstein space, is there an algorithm to compute the empirical intrinsic mean up to arbitrary accuracy? See more… »
