Generative Synthesis of Financial Time-Series Data for Data-Scarcity Mitigation

Two generative-model pipelines for producing synthetic stock-market data when real data is scarce or has a low signal-to-noise ratio. A sector-based method classifies stocks by sector and cleans their signal using non-local total-variation smoothing, Fourier bandpass filtering, and denoising diffusion implicit models; a recursive method synthesizes variable-length sequences for newly listed stocks using pattern recognition, Markov models, and sub-time-level augmentation. Students learn how deep generative modelling and classical signal processing can be combined to enrich thin financial datasets and improve downstream predictive models.
