Deep learning interpretability for rough volatility
Deep learning methods have become a widespread toolbox for pricing and calibration of financial models. While they often provide new directions and research results, their `black box' nature also results in a lack of interpretability. We provide a detailed interpretability analysis of these methods in the context of rough volatility - a new class of volatility models for Equity and FX markets. Our work sheds light on the neural network learned inverse map between the rough volatility model parameters, seen as mathematical model inputs and network outputs, and the resulting implied volatility across strikes and maturities, seen as mathematical model outputs and network inputs. This contributes to building a solid framework for a safer use of neural networks in this context and in quantitative finance more generally.

Emergent Latent-State Computation under Stochastic Volatility
Mechanistic interpretability has largely focused on language models and deterministic toy tasks. Much less is known about how sequence models internally represent latent stochastic dynamics under noisy, partially observe…
SpotV2Net: Multivariate Intraday Spot Volatility Forecasting via Vol-of-Vol-Informed Graph Attention Networks
This paper introduces SpotV2Net, a multivariate intraday spot volatility forecasting model based on a Graph Attention Network architecture. SpotV2Net represents assets as nodes within a graph and includes non-parametric …
Graph AttentionLocal volatility under rough volatility
Several asymptotic results for the implied volatility generated by a rough volatility model have been obtained in recent years (notably in the small-maturity regime), providing a better understanding of the shapes of the…
Volatility has to be rough
First, we give an asymptotic expansion of short-dated at-the-money implied volatility that refines the preceding works and proves in particular that non-rough volatility models are inconsistent to a power law of volatili…
Roughness of the Implied Volatility
The measures of roughness of the volatility in the litterature are based on the realized volatility of high frequency data. Some authors show that this leads to a biased estimate, and does not necessarily indicate roughn…
