LLMs Write and Evolve Code to Redefine Quantitative Factor Mining – The CogAlpha ACL Paper
The CogAlpha framework upgrades Alpha discovery from static formulas to executable Python code, organizes a 7‑layer, 21‑agent research hierarchy, iteratively evolves factor candidates, and on CSI300 10‑day prediction outperforms 21 baselines with a 16.39% annual excess return and an IR of 1.8999, demonstrating that large models can actively participate in the discovery process.
