1Measurement precision
If traditional volatility surface models are used, then model simplicity is maintained, but prediction accuracy of volatility surface dynamics deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical/mathematical volatility surface models with an artificial intelligence deep learning model. This substitution enables the system to capture complex non-linear patterns in volatility surface dynamics that traditional models miss, achieving superior prediction accuracy while maintaining real-time computational performance through optimized neural network architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the volatility surface representation by learning deformation data that captures the evolution of volatility surfaces over time. The deep learning model processes input features including spot price, strike price, time to expiration, and historical volatility surface data, transforming these parameters into predictive outputs for future volatility surface states through learned parameter relationships.
2Speed
If real-time prediction is implemented, then response speed is improved, but computational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-training the deep learning model on extensive historical volatility surface data to learn complex patterns and relationships. This pre-training enables the model to make real-time predictions with minimal computational overhead during inference, as the heavy computational work is completed during the offline training phase.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a dynamic prediction system that adapts to changing market conditions. The deep learning model processes real-time input data including current spot price, strike price, time to expiration, and recent volatility surface observations, dynamically adjusting predictions based on the latest market state while maintaining consistent real-time performance.
