Machine Learning
Machine Learning is an integral part of G-Research’s work. We use applied ML techniques
to develop successful investment management strategies; it is one of the core drivers of our
overall performance and success. ML has long been a key tool at G-Research and we count
among our number a range of ICML and NeurIPS published researchers.

Incentivised to explore the state-of-

the-art
Our ML researchers have huge amounts of (clean) data and massive compute at their
fingertips, with which they predict the future of financial markets. Because this is a very
mature prediction problem, finding the 1% of difference, working at the very cutting edge of
developments, is the place where success happens. We are, in effect, incentivised to explore
the state-of-the-art. We do not work on cool problems for the sake of it, we work on them
because we know one small discovery tilts the balance in our favour. While we start with the
standard ML toolkit, to make a model work our researchers really need to understand what’s
going on, not just throw an out-of-the-box solution at a dataset.

Quantitative feedback
Unlike pure problems, our researchers get near-instantaneous feedback on their work in the
form of absolute numbers. There is no dotting i’s and crossing t’s (unless that improves your
work): you build a model, back-test it extensively, then put it into production. It either works
or it doesn’t – there is no debate or politics, just quantitative outcomes.

Collaborate on a common code base

A typical project lifecycle starts with the pencil and paper stage, and instead of selling your
work, we run back tests. If it’s profitable, that’s enough. Our equivalent of sending off to peer
review in academia is going to out-of-sample stage. Rather than publish we put research into
production. As well as thousands of GPUs and tens of thousands of CPUs, our researchers
share a common code base, tools, and techniques, collaborating on these to the benefit of
everyone. We are also actively exploring next-generation forms of computing to maintain our
edge.
Machine Learning College
Machine learning has long been a key part of our Research function. We are proud to hire
some of the best ML practitioners and are now proud to be developing the next generation of
ML talent through the G-Research Machine Learning College.
