Hi! I build LLMs that read financial text and turn it into investment decisions, and I study the biases that bend their judgment.

1Data

Benchmarks the field is missing, built from the documents investors actually read.

  • CrossAlpha EMNLP'26
    Do annual reports from one market predict returns in another?
  • EX-Graph ICLR'24
    The first public dataset linking Ethereum wallets to X accounts.
Papers →
2Agents

Agents that reason over market information and trade on it.

  • CryptoTrade EMNLP'24
    A reflective agent fusing on-chain and off-chain signals.
  • FS-ReasoningAgent ICLR'25 FinAI Workshop
    Separating facts from opinions makes trading decisions better.
Papers →
3Bias

Finding and removing the biases that sway an LLM's judgment.

Papers →

Beyond finance, I work on LLM multi-agent systems (MegaAgent, ACLโ€™25: a 590-agent fully autonomous system) and foundation model analysis (LLM DNA, ICLRโ€™26 Oral). My work has appeared at ICLR, NeurIPS, ICML, ACL, EMNLP, COLM, and LOG, with several Oral presentations and an Outstanding Reviewer Award (EACL 2026).

I am always happy to chat about research, collaborations, PhD applications, or life choices. Reach me at persdre@gmail.com.
