We introduce the notion of Point in Time Economic Scenario Generation (PiT ESG) with a clear mathematical problem formulation to unify and compare economic scenario generation approaches conditional on forward looking market data. Such PiT ESGs should provide quicker and more flexible reactions to sudden economic changes than traditional ESGs calibrated solely to long periods of historical data. We specifically take as economic variable the S&P500 Index with the VIX Index as forward looking market data to compare the nonparametric filtered historical simulation, GARCH model with joint likelihood estimation (parametric), Restricted Boltzmann Machine and the conditional Variational Autoencoder (Generative Networks) for their suitability as PiT ESG. Our evaluation consists of statistical tests for model fit and benchmarking the out of sample forecasting quality with a strategy backtest using model output as stop loss criterion. We find that both Generative Networks outperform the nonparametric and classic parametric model in our tests, but that the CVAE seems to be particularly well suited for our purposes: yielding more robust performance and being computationally lighter.

We consider the problem of neural network training in a time-varying context. Machine learning algorithms have excelled in problems that do not change over time. However, problems encountered in financial markets are often time-varying. We propose th
e online early stopping algorithm and show that a neural network trained using this algorithm can track a function changing with unknown dynamics. We compare the proposed algorithm to current approaches on predicting monthly U.S. stock returns and show its superiority. We also show that prominent factors (such as the size and momentum effects) and industry indicators, exhibit time varying stock return predictiveness. We find that during market distress, industry indicators experience an increase in importance at the expense of firm level features. This indicates that industries play a role in explaining stock returns during periods of heightened risk.
We derive a formula for the adjoint $overline{A}$ of a square-matrix operation of the form $C=f(A)$, where $f$ is holomorphic in the neighborhood of each eigenvalue. We then apply the formula to derive closed-form expressions in particular cases of i
nterest such as the case when we have a spectral decomposition $A=UDU^{-1}$, the spectrum cut-off $C=A_+$ and the Nearest Correlation Matrix routine. Finally, we explain how to simplify the computation of adjoints for regularized linear regression coefficients.
Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) are two risk measures which are widely used in the practice of risk management. This paper deals with the problem of computing both VaR and CVaR using stochastic approximation (with decreasing
steps): we propose a first Robbins-Monro procedure based on Rockaffelar-Uryasevs identity for the CVaR. The convergence rate of this algorithm to its target satisfies a Gaussian Central Limit Theorem. As a second step, in order to speed up the initial procedure, we propose a recursive importance sampling (I.S.) procedure which induces a significant variance reduction of both VaR and CVaR procedures. This idea, which goes back to the seminal paper of B. Arouna, follows a new approach introduced by V. Lemaire and G. Pag`es. Finally, we consider a deterministic moving risk level to speed up the initialization phase of the algorithm. We prove that the convergence rate of the resulting procedure is ruled by a Central Limit Theorem with minimal variance and its efficiency is illustrated by considering several typical energy portfolios.
Modelling joint dynamics of liquid vanilla options is crucial for arbitrage-free pricing of illiquid derivatives and managing risks of option trade books. This paper develops a nonparametric model for the European options book respecting underlying f
inancial constraints and while being practically implementable. We derive a state space for prices which are free from static (or model-independent) arbitrage and study the inference problem where a model is learnt from discrete time series data of stock and option prices. We use neural networks as function approximators for the drift and diffusion of the modelled SDE system, and impose constraints on the neural nets such that no-arbitrage conditions are preserved. In particular, we give methods to calibrate textit{neural SDE} models which are guaranteed to satisfy a set of linear inequalities. We validate our approach with numerical experiments using data generated from a Heston stochastic local volatility model.
Deep Learning (DL) models can be used to tackle time series analysis tasks with great success. However, the performance of DL models can degenerate rapidly if the data are not appropriately normalized. This issue is even more apparent when DL is used
for financial time series forecasting tasks, where the non-stationary and multimodal nature of the data pose significant challenges and severely affect the performance of DL models. In this work, a simple, yet effective, neural layer, that is capable of adaptively normalizing the input time series, while taking into account the distribution of the data, is proposed. The proposed layer is trained in an end-to-end fashion using back-propagation and leads to significant performance improvements compared to other evaluated normalization schemes. The proposed method differs from traditional normalization methods since it learns how to perform normalization for a given task instead of using a fixed normalization scheme. At the same time, it can be directly applied to any new time series without requiring re-training. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated using a large-scale limit order book dataset, as well as a load forecasting dataset.
