Controllable Generation of Implied Volatility Surfaces with Variational Autoencoders

This paper presents a deep generative modeling framework for controllably synthesizing implied volatility surfaces (IVSs) using a variational autoencoder (VAE). Unlike conventional data-driven models, our approach provides explicit control over meaningful shape features (e.g., volatility level, slop

GPU acceleration of the Seven-League Scheme for large time step simulations of stochastic differential equations

Monte Carlo simulation is widely used to numerically solve stochastic differential equations. Although the method is flexible and easy to implement, it may be slow to converge. Moreover, an inaccurate solution will result when using large time steps. The Seven League scheme, a deep learning-based nu

Fast Learning in Quantitative Finance with Extreme Learning Machine

A critical factor in adopting machine learning for time-sensitive financial tasks is computational speed, including model training and inference. This paper demonstrates that a broad class of such problems, especially those previously addressed using deep neural networks, can be efficiently solved u
