AI models struggle to infer risk-neutral densities from option prices

Researchers have developed and evaluated novel methods for learning risk-neutral densities from irregular option quotes, a task that proves challenging even with accurate pricing. Two benchmarks were used: a controlled synthetic dataset and a chronological NIFTY market dataset. While a two-component lognormal mixture model performed well on the synthetic data, learned operators like DeepONet and quote transformers showed specific strengths in reducing certain errors. The study highlights the importance of target-dependent inductive biases, as no single method universally outperformed others across all metrics and datasets. AI

IMPACT This research explores advanced machine learning techniques for financial modeling, potentially improving risk assessment and derivative pricing.

    Inverse Learning of Latent Risk-Neutral Densities from Irregular Option Quotes

    arXiv:2607.27188v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate option prices do not imply accurate recovery of the latent risk-neutral density. We study this distinction with two complementary benchmarks. A controlled benchmark exposes simulator-truth densities for latent evaluation, w…
