Context-aware Dynamic Assets Selection for Online Portfolio Selection based on Contextual Bandit
share
Online portfolio selection is a sequential decision-making problem in financial engineering, aiming to construct a portfolio by optimizing the allocation of wealth across a set of assets to achieve the highest return. In this paper, we present a novel context-aware dynamic assets selection problem and propose two innovative online portfolio selection methods named Exp4.ONSE and Exp4.EGE respectively based on contextual bandit algorithms to adapt to the dynamic assets selection scenario. We also provide regret upper bounds for both methods which achieve sublinear regrets. In addition, we analyze the computational complexity of the proposed algorithms, which implies that the computational complexity can be significantly reduced to polynomial time. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our algorithms have marked superiority across representative real-world market datasets in term of efficiency and effectiveness.
