Reinforcement Learning and Interpretability

Patrick Zoro speaks with Dr Neal Snow on his recently published co-authored work on an examination on search-based peer (SBP) groups proposed by Lee, Ma, and Wang (2015) and their relationship with commonality in liquidity. Their results confirm that SBP affiliation is a significant determinant of commonality in liquidity and, unlike market- and industry-commonality, SBP-commonality has been increasing over the past 15 years. Their results show that retail investors are responsible for roughly 85% of the EDGAR searches that generate SBP groups. Overall, their study provides new evidence of a significant demand-side commonality associated with SBP affiliations.https://academic.oup.com/rof/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/rof/rfab033/6456321?redirectedFrom=fulltextPatrick Zoro is the director of the MFE program at Lehigh U. and a professor of practice, and leads the capstone program for the MFE course workDr. Neal Snow is a professor and researcher in the college of Business at Lehigh University.

With more than 40 programs to pick from the US along, students have a daunting task.  While the rewards can be had with possible starting salaries in excess of $150k, so are the pitfalls.   This extensive podcast addresses several salient topics such as: Rigor of programs, Cohort dynamics, Financial Engineering history, Risk Management, Machine Learning, Hedge Funds, Fake vs real programs, Use of electives, Salaries.  They make the point that the following points should be looked into by participants: How long has program been in existence?, Find out what jobs graduates actually get, understand our expected salary is derived, the importance of the development of interpersonal skills and professional development, online vs live vs brick and mortar. Many more topics are explored and discussed.
