Doubly Robust Mean-CVaR Portfolio

In this study, we address the challenge of portfolio optimization, a critical aspect of managing investment risks and maximizing returns. The mean-CVaR portfolio is considered a promising method due to today's unstable financial market crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. It incorporates expected returns into the CVaR, which considers the expected value of losses exceeding a specified probability level. However, the instability associated with the input parameter changes and estimation errors can deteriorate portfolio performance. Therefore in this study, we propose a Doubly Robust mean-CVaR Portfolio refined approach to the mean-CVaR portfolio optimization. Our method can solve the instability problem to simultaneously optimize the multiple levels of CVaRs and define uncertainty sets for the mean parameter to perform robust optimization. Theoretically, the proposed method can be formulated as a second-order cone programming problem which is the same formulation as traditional mean-variance portfolio optimization. In addition, we derive an estimation error bound of the proposed method for the finite-sample case. Finally, experiments with benchmark and real market data show that our proposed method exhibits better performance compared to existing portfolio optimization strategies.

Domain Discrepancy Measure for Complex Models in Unsupervised Domain Adaptation

Appropriately evaluating the discrepancy between domains is essential for the success of unsupervised domain adaptation. In this paper, we first point out that existing discrepancy measures are less informative when complex models such as deep neural networks are used, in addition to the facts that they can be computationally highly demanding and their range of applications is limited only to binary classification. We then propose a novel domain discrepancy measure, called the paired hypotheses discrepancy (PHD), to overcome these shortcomings. PHD is computationally efficient and applicable to multi-class classification. Through generalization error bound analysis, we theoretically show that PHD is effective even for complex models. Finally, we demonstrate the practical usefulness of PHD through experiments.

Unsupervised Domain Adaptation Based on Source-guided Discrepancy

Unsupervised domain adaptation is the problem setting where data generating distributions in the source and target domains are different, and labels in the target domain are unavailable. One important question in unsupervised domain adaptation is how to measure the difference between the source and target domains. A previously proposed discrepancy that does not use the source domain labels requires high computational cost to estimate and may lead to a loose generalization error bound in the target domain. To mitigate these problems, we propose a novel discrepancy called source-guided discrepancy (S-disc), which exploits labels in the source domain. As a consequence, S-disc can be computed efficiently with a finite sample convergence guarantee. In addition, we show that S-disc can provide a tighter generalization error bound than the one based on an existing discrepancy. Finally, we report experimental results that demonstrate the advantages of S-disc over the existing discrepancies.
