针对有限评估预算,提升黑箱投资组合优化的稳定性和效率

Improving Bayesian Optimization for Portfolio Management with an Adaptive Scheduling

  • 引入自适应调度与重要性采样,动态平衡探索与利用
  • 在四种回测场景下显著降低优化波动,提升样本效率
  • 适合金融领域需高效、稳定调参的黑箱模型应用

现有黑箱投资组合管理系统因商业与安全约束在金融行业广泛应用,但其性能随市场环境变化剧烈。由于固定预算限制了可观测次数,评估这些不透明系统计算成本高昂。因此,在有限观测预算下实现稳定且高效的优化成为关键挑战。本文提出一种新型贝叶斯优化框架(TPE-AS),提升黑箱投资组合模型在受限预算下的搜索稳定性与效率。标准贝叶斯优化仅最大化预期收益,易导致搜索轨迹不稳且代理模型偏离真实目标,浪费有限评估资源。为此,我们提出加权拉格朗日估计器,结合自适应调度与重要性采样,通过同时优化模型性能与观测方差,动态调节探索与利用。该方法引导搜索从广泛探索逐步转向稳定优良区域。大量实验与消融研究证明,本方法在三个不同黑箱投资组合模型的四个回测设置中均表现最优。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Existing black-box portfolio management systems are prevalent in the financial industry due to commercial and safety constraints, though their performance can fluctuate dramatically with changing market regimes. Evaluating these non-transparent systems is computationally expensive, as fixed budgets limit the number of possible observations. Therefore, achieving stable and sample-efficient optimization for these systems has become a critical challenge. This work presents a novel Bayesian optimization framework (TPE-AS) that improves search stability and efficiency for black-box portfolio models under these limited observation budgets. Standard Bayesian optimization, which solely maximizes expected return, can yield erratic search trajectories and misalign the surrogate model with the true objective, thereby wasting the limited evaluation budget. To mitigate these issues, we propose a weighted Lagrangian estimator that leverages an adaptive schedule and importance sampling. This estimator dynamically balances exploration and exploitation by incorporating both the maximization of model performance and the minimization of the variance of model observations. It guides the search from broad, performance-seeking exploration towards stable and desirable regions as the optimization progresses. Extensive experiments and ablation studies, which establish our proposed method as the primary approach and other configurations as baselines, demonstrate its effectiveness across four backtest settings with three distinct black-box portfolio management models.
