Dirac Processes and Default Risk
We introduce Dirac processes, using Dirac delta functions, for short-rate-type pricing of financial derivatives. Dirac processes add spikes to the existing building blocks of diffusions and jumps. Dirac processes are Generalized Processes, which have not been used directly before because the dollar value of non-Real numbers is meaningless. However, short-rate pricing is based on integrals so Dirac processes are natural. This integration directly implies that jumps are redundant whilst Dirac processes expand expressivity of short-rate approaches. Practically, we demonstrate that Dirac processes enable high implied volatility for CDS swaptions that has been otherwise problematic in hazard rate setups.

Non-Negative Matrix Factorization Using Non-Von Neumann Computers
Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is a matrix decomposition problem with applications in unsupervised learning. The general form of this problem (along with many of its variants) is NP-hard in nature. In our work, …
Numerical analysis of an extended structural default model with mutual liabilities and jump risk
We consider a structural default model in an interconnected banking network as in Lipton [International Journal of Theoretical and Applied Finance, 19(6), 2016], with mutual obligations between each pair of banks. We ana…
A structural approach to default modelling with pure jump processes
We present a general framework for the estimation of corporate default based on a firm's capital structure, when its assets are assumed to follow a pure jump L\'evy processes; this setup provides a natural extension to u…
A Multimodal Approach to SME Credit Scoring Integrating Transaction and Ownership Networks
Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are known to play a vital role in economic growth, employment, and innovation. However, they tend to face significant challenges in accessing credit due to limited financial hist…
Dirac--Bianconi Graph Neural Networks -- Enabling Non-Diffusive Long-Range Graph Predictions
The geometry of a graph is encoded in dynamical processes on the graph. Many graph neural network (GNN) architectures are inspired by such dynamical systems, typically based on the graph Laplacian. Here, we introduce Dir…
