These grants will support my PhD student and SSHRC Doctoral Fellow, Brett Barnes, during his 6-month visit to the Bank of Canada, where he will develop state-of-the-art NLP models to extract economic signals from English and French Canadian news. These signals will be key inputs into our broader research on multi-quantile deep learning models with feature engineering, aimed at improving the accuracy and interpretability of Canadian macro-financial tail risk forecasts. This broader project was previously funded by a SSHRC Partnership Engage Grant and will build on the multi-quantile neural network from my paper, “Quantile Machine Learning and the Cross-section of Stock Returns”, which will be presented at:
- The Wolfe Research 2nd Annual Canadian Quantitative and Macro Investment Conference (Toronto, September), and
- The Financial Management Association Conference (Vancouver, October).
?? PhD Opportunity:
If you're applying to PhD programs and are interested in financial machine learning with rich data and real-world applications, I am available to supervise several students for our fully funded PhD in Economics at the University of Guelph.
