AlphaPADI searches for stock-ranking formulas by reconstructing masked parts of a pool using its other formulas as context, then applying pool-level predictive and redundancy feedback to refine candidates and train the generator. On the CSI300 test set, it achieves a RIC of 0.0659, versus 0.0544 for AlphaQCM, a 21.1% improvement; the historical backtest does not establish future returns or live-trading performance.
