AlphaPilot: Multi-Turn Tool-Using LLM Agents for Adaptive Alpha Mining with Reinforcement Learning

We introduce AlphaPilot, a reinforcement-learning framework that trains multi-turn tool-using LLM agents for adaptive alpha mining.

Key points

  • Formulaic alpha mining seeks interpretable expressions that rank assets by future returns.
  • The task is challenging because it demands simultaneous processing of unstructured market descriptions, historical data, and quantitative evaluation of candidate factors, yet most existing methods exploit only a subset of these signals.
  • The agent conditions on market descriptions, proposes factor expressions, queries real-data evaluator feedback, and updates a retained factor pool across turns.
  • At inference time, AlphaPilot performs day-by-day search and pool updates to adapt to shifting market regimes.
