Statistical machine learning for quantitative finance

M Ludkovski - Annual Review of Statistics and Its Application, 2023 - annualreviews.org
We survey the active interface of statistical learning methods and quantitative finance
models. Our focus is on the use of statistical surrogates, also known as functional …

Deep learning for limit order books

JA Sirignano - Quantitative Finance, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
This paper develops a new neural network architecture for modeling spatial distributions (ie
distributions on R d) which is more computationally efficient than a traditional fully …

Machine learning for pricing American options in high-dimensional Markovian and non-Markovian models

L Goudenege, A Molent, A Zanette - Quantitative Finance, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
In this paper we propose two efficient techniques which allow one to compute the price of
American basket options. In particular, we consider a basket of assets that follow a multi …

Kriging of financial term-structures

A Cousin, H Maatouk, D Rullière - European Journal of Operational …, 2016 - Elsevier
Due to the lack of reliable market information, building financial term-structures may be
associated with a significant degree of uncertainty. In this paper, we propose a new term …

Pricing high-dimensional Bermudan options with hierarchical tensor formats

C Bayer, M Eigel, L Sallandt, P Trunschke - SIAM Journal on Financial …, 2023 - SIAM
An efficient compression technique based on hierarchical tensors for popular option pricing
methods is presented. It is shown that the “curse of dimensionality” can be alleviated for the …

Variance reduction applied to machine learning for pricing Bermudan/American options in high dimension

L Goudenège, A Molent, A Zanette - arXiv preprint arXiv:1903.11275, 2019 - arxiv.org
In this paper we propose an efficient method to compute the price of multi-asset American
options, based on Machine Learning, Monte Carlo simulations and variance reduction …

Gaussian process regression for derivative portfolio modeling and application to CVA computations

S Crépey, M Dixon - arXiv preprint arXiv:1901.11081, 2019 - arxiv.org
Modeling counterparty risk is computationally challenging because it requires the
simultaneous evaluation of all the trades with each counterparty under both market and …

Gaussian process models for mortality rates and improvement factors

M Ludkovski, J Risk, H Zail - ASTIN Bulletin: The Journal of the IAA, 2018 - cambridge.org
We develop a Gaussian process (GP) framework for modeling mortality rates and mortality
improvement factors. GP regression is a nonparametric, data-driven approach for …

Evaluating Gaussian process metamodels and sequential designs for noisy level set estimation

X Lyu, M Binois, M Ludkovski - Statistics and Computing, 2021 - Springer
We consider the problem of learning the level set for which a noisy black-box function
exceeds a given threshold. To efficiently reconstruct the level set, we investigate Gaussian …
