Semi-structured multi-state delinquency model for mortgage default

We propose a semi-structured discrete-time multi-state model to analyse mortgage delinquency transitions. This model combines an easy-to-understand structured additive predictor, which includes linear effects and smooth functions of time and covariates, with a flexible neural network component that

Transfer Learning for Loan Recovery Prediction under Distribution Shifts with Heterogeneous Feature Spaces

Accurate forecasting of recovery rates (RR) is central to credit risk management and regulatory capital determination. In many loan portfolios, however, RR modeling is constrained by data scarcity arising from infrequent default events. Transfer learning (TL) offers a promising avenue to mitigate th

Variational Quantum Circuit-Based Reinforcement Learning for Dynamic Portfolio Optimization

This paper presents a Quantum Reinforcement Learning (QRL) solution to the dynamic portfolio optimization problem based on Variational Quantum Circuits. The implemented QRL approaches are quantum analogues of the classical neural-network-based Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient and Deep Q-Network al

Incorporating data drift to perform survival analysis on credit risk

Survival analysis has become a standard approach for modelling time to default by time-varying covariates in credit risk. Unlike most existing methods that implicitly assume a stationary data-generating process, in practise, mortgage portfolios are exposed to various forms of data drift caused by ch
