:align: center
``Qlib`` is an AI-oriented quantitative investment platform, which aims to realize the potential, empower the research, and create the value of AI technologies in quantitative investment.
With ``Qlib``, users can easily try their ideas to create better Quant investment strategies.
Framework
===================
.. image:: ../_static/img/framework.png
:align: center
At the module level, Qlib is a platform that consists of above components. The components are designed as loose-coupled modules and each component could be used stand-alone.
======================== ==============================================================================
Name Description
======================== ==============================================================================
`Infrastructure` layer `Infrastructure` layer provides underlying support for Quant research.
`DataServer` provides high-performance infrastructure for users to manage
and retrieve raw data. `Trainer` provides flexible interface to control
the training process of models which enable algorithms controlling the
training process.
`Workflow` layer `Workflow` layer covers the whole workflow of quantitative investment.
`Information Extractor` extracts data for models. `Forecast Model` focuses
on producing all kinds of forecast signals (e.g. _alpha_, risk) for other
modules. With these signals `Portfolio Generator` will generate the target
portfolio and produce orders to be executed by `Order Executor`.
`Interface` layer `Interface` layer tries to present a user-friendly interface for the underlying
system. `Analyser` module will provide users detailed analysis reports of
forecasting signals, portfolios and execution results
======================== ==============================================================================
- The modules with hand-drawn style are under development and will be released in the future.
- The modules with dashed borders are highly user-customizable and extendible.
