Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

As the portfolio optimization field grows, classical techniques often notoriously find it difficult to efficiently model how investors decisions, risk tolerances, and asset attributes intertwine. This paper presents an innovation-based hybrid method, where Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) combined with Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS) for multi-criteria decision making, Goal Programming (GP) and a Genetic Algorithm (GA) for finding constraints are united. The proposed approach enhances the accuracy of ranking and effectiveness of allocation by incorporating asset evaluation, characterization of investors and probabilistic construction of portfolios. The system is tested in view of various performance implications, using the FAR-Trans dataset, a collection of genuine transaction statistics and asset pricing, as well as investor data. The first step involves project transaction capacities partitioning and risk categorization to create a bipartite TOPSIS-ARAS scoring mechanism. The GP part of the model matches investment decisions to the individual return and risk expectations of each investor, and the GA promotes the use of entropy-aware strategies. Important performance metrics are a Sharpe Ratio of 2.241, the annualized return of 4.6% and diversification score of 0.845. The study also reflects a 0.729 correlation between TOPSIS-ARAS rankings, and GP configurations leading to portfolio returns of over 30.0%. The system offers a realistic depiction of the behavior of investors, considering several transaction channels and different risk factors as well as geographies. The comprehensive integration is very flexible, computationally effective and based on realistic investment models while minimizing constraint deviation.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
