Does anyone understand how the Market Expert works? It takes in numerical OHLC data and converts it to embeddings for use by the LLM… but embedding are also numbers so I don’t see how that’s any easier for the LLM to process since it’s a language model.

> The Market Analyst LLM focuses on analyzing historical OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Vol- ume) data to predict stock movements. However, time series data is inherently continuous and lacks the discrete token structure that LLMs are designed to process. This misalignment poses a signifi- cant challenge in effectively utilizing LLMs on time series. To this end, we utilize a reprogramming mechanism Jin et al. (2024) to reprogram the input financial time series into text prototype repre- sentations.
