Abstract

Firstly, this paper summarizes the current mainstream machine learning algorithms; secondly, it analyzes the related application research of machine learning algorithms in stock investment; finally, it finds that the current academic research mainly focuses on the following two aspects: the first aspect is to compare a variety of machine learning algorithms, or to improve the original algorithm, trying to prove that some algorithm or improved algorithm will be useful for the future. The second aspect is to use machine learning algorithm to construct a trading strategy or portfolio, and to try to achieve higher yield and Sharp ratio than other trading strategies or portfolios. Common trading strategies include stock selection strategy, timing strategy and optimizing order placement strategy.
