I'm a PhD candidate in finance/machine learning(ML) at Alliance Manchester Business School (AMBS) under the supervision of
Ser-Huang Poon working on the theory and application of machine learning and deep learning in finance.
I finished working on three papers entitled Big Data Approach to Realised Volatility Forecasting Using HAR Model
Augmented With Limit Order Book and News (under review, JBF), Machine learning for Realised Volatility Forecasting (under review, RFS), and my job market paper Realised Volatility Forecasting: Machine Learning via Financial Word Embedding (under review, JFEC).
NEWS: FinText, a purpose-built financial word embedding for financial textual analysis, is available now for download. This is the outcome of a collaboration with the Oxford-Man Institute of Quantitative Finance, the University of Oxford under the supervision of Stefan Zohren.
