Research

Lumos Alpha’s Algorithmic Research Team is dedicated to advancing state-of-the-art machine learning and AI algorithms and applying these algorithms to equity trading, portfolio construction, and risk management. Our researchers also participate in algorithm competitions at leading international conferences and on Kaggle, consistently earning top-tier placements.

Beyond finance, we investigate signal processing techniques across the biomedical engineering, communications, speech processing, and computer vision domains. We believe algorithms from these areas—especially for weak-signal extraction, denoising, and data mining—will largely benefit algorithmic trading and risk control.​
