UnverifiedCounterfactual results refer to estimates obtained from model simulation rather than actual observation; the loss-reduction figures in this paper are counterfactual results rather than field-trial observations.71% similarUnverifiedAn adversarial data stream means that the data are generated by a malicious or strategic adversary who can observe the algorithm's past behavior and construct inputs that make the algorithm err; statistical methods that rely on randomness assumptions may be fooled.61% similarUnverifiedLook-ahead bias refers to using information that could only be obtained after a given point in time when computing a factor value at that point, which almost always makes backtest results better and does not trigger a code error.60% similarUnverifiedThe reverse validation table is a tool for recording unexecuted decisions and their subsequent price action: if a stock not bought subsequently rises, it indicates a deviation in judgment; if it falls, it indicates the discipline was effective.60% similarUnverifiedContext poisoning refers to an error entering the context window and then being treated as fact by the model, and unlike other failure modes it is irreversible—the erroneous information gets written back into the context, forming a self-reinforcing loop.59% similar
