Our research publications lay out the design philosophy behind the Arctan product family — how each architectural choice responds to the fundamental challenges of applying machine learning to financial markets.

White Paper

On the Use of ML and AI in the Investment Process

Machine learning in quantitative finance faces three structural challenges: too many candidate factors, too little data — a single historical timeline — and pervasive non-stationarity. This paper explains why these challenges cannot be dissolved, only managed, and details Arctan's three architectural responses: curated features, regime conditionality, and continuous monitoring.

It also situates the Arctan approach within the history of artificial intelligence — as a neuro-symbolic synthesis combining encoded domain expertise with statistical learning — and is explicit about what the framework does, and does not, claim.
