• Abstract: This paper uses topological data analysis (TDA) tools and introduces a data-driven clustering-based stock selection strategy tailored for sparse portfolio construction. Our asset selection strategy exploits the topological features of stock price movements to select a subset of topologically similar (different) assets for a sparse index tracking (Markowitz) portfolio. We introduce new distance measures, which serve as an input to the clustering algorithm, on the space of persistence diagrams and landscapes that consider the time component of a time series. We conduct an empirical analysis on the S\&P index from 2009 to 2020, including a study on the COVID-19 data to validate the robustness of our methodology. Our strategy to integrate TDA with the clustering algorithm significantly enhanced the performance of sparse portfolios across various performance measures in diverse market scenarios.

  We identify a novel Topological Imbalance Issue', which arises from the skewed distribution of edges across different classes. We introduce Topological Entropy (TE), a novel topological-based metric that measures the topological imbalance for each edge. We develop two strategies - Topological Reweighting and TE Wedge-based Mixup - to focus training on (synthetic) edges based on their TEs.

  Multi-task learning (MTL) is a powerful machine learning paradigm designed to leverage shared knowledge across tasks to improve generalization and performance. We propose an MTL approach at the intersection between task clustering and feature transformation based on a two-phase iterative aggregation of targets and features. In both phases, a key aspect is to preserve the interpretability of the reduced targets and features through the aggregation with the mean, which is motivated by applications to Earth science.
