STN-TGAT: Top-K Portfolio Construction via Prior-Guided Graph Attention with Learnable Soft-Threshold Sparsification
Short summary
STN-TGAT combines a temporal Transformer with a Graph Attention Network and NMI-based prior graph for stock ranking and portfolio construction. It uses soft-threshold sparsification to filter noisy correlations while preserving informative connections. Evaluated on S&P 500 constituents with Top-5 selection and transaction cost adjustment, it consistently outperforms benchmark models in both predictive accuracy and portfolio returns.
- •STN-TGAT integrates temporal Transformer with Graph Attention Network for stock ranking and portfolio construction
- •NMI-based prior graph with soft-threshold sparsification mitigates noisy correlations
- •Outperforms benchmarks on S&P 500 data with realistic trading conditions including transaction costs
