Investigations into semantic patterns and topological structures across complex domains.

Study

Market Topology

Markets generate dense networks of information. Topology reveals how this information organizes, clusters, and flows.

  • Market information self-organizes into semantic clusters
  • Topology reveals the shape; semantics reveals the meaning
  • Gaps between clusters represent opportunity spaces

Study

Semantic Clustering Methods

Not all clustering algorithms handle semantic embeddings equally. Density-based methods consistently outperform centroid methods for text data.

  • Density-based clustering (DBSCAN, HDBSCAN) outperforms k-means for semantic embeddings
  • Semantic clusters have irregular shapes that centroid methods cannot capture
  • Dimensionality reduction improves results; 10-50 dimensions is often optimal

Study

Topology in Finance

Financial markets generate complex, high-dimensional data. Topological data analysis reveals structural patterns invisible to traditional statistics.

  • Topological methods reveal market structure invisible to traditional statistics
  • Persistent homology identifies features that persist across time and scale
  • Topology captures regime changes earlier than mean/variance measures
