If you have a question about this talk, please contact Zoubin Ghahramani.

I will introduce the problem of order dispersion in dark pools, a relatively new kind of equities exchange in which traders seek to “invisibly” trade large volumes at market prices. I will present a provably efficient algorithm for near-optimal order placement in dark pools. This algorithm is based on methods from reinforcement learning and the Kaplan-Meier estimator from survival analysis. Some experimental evaluation of the algorithm will be presented.

Joint work with Kuzman Ganchev, Yuriy Nevmyvaka, and Jennifer Wortman Vaughan.
