AlphaDiverse: Post-Training Local Quantitative Research Agents for Diverse Exploration in Alpha Factor Mining
摘要
arXiv:2609.29014v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM)-based multi-agent systems can automate alpha factor mining, but their reliance on external APIs limits control over cost, availability, and confidentiality. Long research loops also tend to revisit a few successful economic mechanisms that lead to research path collapse. To address these limitations, we propose AlphaDiverse, a framework that integrates a multi-agent alpha research system, diverse research path collection, and post-training for local agents. We let the research system generate complementary plan portfolios and vary research environments across loops to collect diverse research paths. Using these diverse traces, we warm-start local Planner and Realizer agents with supervised fine-tuning. Then, we propose a joint GRPO method to optimize both of them using predictive quality and diversity of contributions. Research feedback is confined to inner period data, while a frozen final model is evaluated on a later outer period data, thereby avoiding test-set tuning. Experiments across four Chinese stock universes show that AlphaDiverse can combine competitive prediction with broader exploration.
