Full description: |
In the academic year 2023/24 the seminar will concentrate on the application of neural networks in computational finance. We will analyze the mathematical properties of neural algorithms used in the calibration of financial models and the pricing of contingent claims. The main topic of the seminar will be neural solutions of PDEs similar to the Black-Scholes equation. |
