Dealing with Overfitting when Crowdsourcing Financial Alpha, Delaney Mackenzie, Quantopian.  One of the excellent lectures available from AI Learning Accelerator.

From the introduction:  The financial services sector has traditionally been a very secretive environment. The barriers to entry are incredibly high, and people sign many NDAs and non-competes to join. Quantopian is attempting to change that by allowing anybody to research and design trading strategies. The flip side is that identifying which strategies are good is a very difficult problem. We’ll walk through some research we’ve done and show some insights about whether traditional metrics of financial performance are useful when considering strategies.

Putting Things in Order: On the Fundamental Role of Ranking in Classification and Probability Estimation, Peter Flach.  Peter discusses ranking as an alternative to simply classifying.  The video requires Flash.  My experience is that FireFox supports Flash better than other browsers.
