Tackling the Knapsack problem: evolutionary algorithms in asset allocation

We are excited to invite you to an insightful tech talk where Nikolay Penchev, Senior Software Engineer at Pwrteams Bulgaria, will address the challenge of portfolio optimisation by modelling asset allocation as a knapsack problem to achieve cost efficiency.
During his talk, Nikolay will demonstrate how evolutionary algorithms - genetic algorithms, memetic algorithms and evolution strategies - can navigate vast search spaces and deliver strong solutions. By comparing these methods with a Dynamic Programming baseline, he’ll explore key trade-offs in scalability, execution time and solution quality.
Join us to gain practical insights on selecting and fine-tuning optimisation techniques to balance risk and return, even under tight computational constraints.
