GoAnt: Quality-Diversity Multi-Agent Search for Alpha Factor Discovery
A revised arXiv paper introduces GoAnt, a quality-diversity multi-agent search method for automatically discovering alpha factors from price-volume panels and order-book data. The authors frame the problem as symbolic program search under a fixed evaluation budget, where existing single- and multi-agent approaches can overfit predictive proxies that break down in live trading.
