description In this work, we investigate the application of Deep Learning in Portfolio selection in a Markowitz mean-variance framework. We refer to a <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>l</mi><mn>1</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> regularized multi-period model; the choice of the <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>l</mi><mn>1</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> norm aims at producing sparse solutions. A crucial issue is the choice of the regularization parameter, which must realize a trade-off between fidelity to data and regularization. We propose an algorithm based on neural networks for the automatic selection of the regularization parameter. Once the neural network training is completed, an estimate of the regularization parameter can be computed via forward propagation. Numerical experiments and comparisons performed on real data validate the approach.
