Check out the new article: Neural Networks in Trading: The Adaptive Graph Diffusion Model (SAGDFN).
Traditional models like ARIMA or VAR worked reasonably well with individual time series, but as soon as you’re dealing with hundreds of instruments, they start to falter. Next-generation machine learning methods (support vector machines (SVMs), Gaussian processes) have expanded the horizons of analysis, but their architecture has rarely taken into account the rich network of interconnections. Even modern recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and transformers, which have demonstrated impressive results in sequence processing, have proven to be limited in a multivariate context: they lacked the flexibility needed to handle dynamic correlation networks.
Against this backdrop, graph neural networks (GNNs) emerged; they were originally designed for tasks involving highly structured graphs, such as transportation networks, social interactions, and supply chains. But in the world of finance, constructing such a graph is a task bordering on art. Two companies in the same industry may behave in completely opposite ways, while two distant markets (such as the United States and Japan) may react in unison to the same macroeconomic stimuli.
The solution was adaptive-weight graph neural networks (adaptive-weight GNNs), which construct a graph directly from the data rather than from assumptions. They train a matrix of relationships between assets, identifying real correlations rather than formal ones. A classic example: gold and the Japanese yen, which often behave as safe-haven assets. Under normal circumstances, the connection between them may not be obvious, but during periods of global upheaval, the model will detect the synchrony in their movements and adjust the forecast accordingly.
