单次训练生成多个低相关性选股信号,提升投资组合收益风险比
MAPLE: Efficient and Diverse Multi-Alpha Generation for Portfolio Construction

- 用统一头+排序损失+相关性惩罚,单次训练产出多组选股信号
- 在中美日四市场平均夏普和卡玛比率超越9个基线,参数量少55倍
- 适合量化交易研究者,尤其关注高效多样选股方法的团队
传统因子挖掘通过组合大量低相关性预测信号获得优异风险调整收益,但深度学习选股方法通常每只股票仅生成单一因子,依赖日益复杂的架构且增益递减,多样性主要靠独立模型或隐式路由实现,缺乏显式控制。本文提出MAPLE(多因子位置感知列表集成)框架,无需特定主干网络,可在一次训练中恢复多样性原则。MAPLE结合容量可扩展的统一预测头、极端排名加权列表排序损失及显式惩罚因子间相关性的正则化项。在覆盖美国、中国、日本四个权益市场的实验中,MAPLE在九个基线中取得最佳平均夏普比率和卡玛比率,参数量最多减少55倍,训练时间减少2.5倍,并在五种主干架构上实现10-23%的夏普比率提升和17-43%的卡玛比率提升。行为分析表明:统一头本身即能降低因子间相关性;极端排名损失使多样性正则化不损害单因子排序质量,容量扩展维持了平衡。结果表明,合理的损失设计与容量分配,而非架构复杂度,才是高效多样多因子生成的关键。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Classical alpha mining achieves strong risk-adjusted returns by combining many low-correlated predictive signals, yet deep learning stock-ranking methods typically produce a single alpha per stock, rely on increasingly complex architectures with diminishing gains, and obtain diversity only through separate models or implicit routing, without explicitly controlling inter-alpha correlation. We introduce MAPLE (Multi-Alpha Position-aware Listwise Ensembling), a backbone-agnostic framework that recovers this diversity principle within a single training pass. MAPLE combines a unified, capacity-scaled prediction head with an extreme-rank weighted listwise ranking loss and a diversity regularizer that explicitly penalizes pairwise correlation across alphas. Across four equity markets spanning the US, China, and Japan, MAPLE achieves the best average Sharpe and Calmar ratios among nine baselines, using up to 55x fewer parameters and 2.5x less training time, and generalizes across five backbone architectures with Sharpe and Calmar Ratio gains of 10-23% and 17-43%, respectively. Behavioral analysis further shows why each component works: the unified head already reduces inter-alpha correlation before any diversity loss is applied, and the extreme-rank loss lets diversity regularization improve rather than erode per-alpha ranking quality as capacity scaling sustains this balance at scale. These results show that principled loss design and capacity allocation, rather than architectural complexity, drive diverse and effective multi-alpha generation.
