Designing adaptive trading agents

This extended abstract summarizes the research presented in Dr. Pardoe's recently-completed Ph.D. thesis [Pardoe 2011]. The thesis considers how adaptive trading agents can take advantage of previous experience (real or simulated) in other markets while remaining robust in the face of novel situations in a new market. Its contributions are at the intersection of machine learning and electronic commerce, with particular focus on transfer learning and fully autonomous trading agents.
