New framework enhances volatility model calibration with uncertainty and explainability

Researchers have developed a new framework for calibrating rough Heston models using neural information-theoretic posterior approaches. This method aims to capture the uncertainty in implied volatility surfaces, which traditional neural point calibration methods overlook. The framework provides calibrated posterior samples that can be used with neural surrogate pricers to generate uncertainty-aware price intervals for exotic options, combining residual parameter uncertainty with surrogate uncertainty. Additionally, a novel explainability method called Hellinger-SHAP is introduced, which uses Kernel SHAP to identify regions of the volatility surface that contribute most to posterior information gain for individual Heston parameters.

    Uncertainty and Explainability in Deep Rough Volatility: A Neural Information-Theoretic Posterior Approach

    arXiv:2609.31570v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep learning has substantially accelerated the calibration of complex stochastic-volatility models, but neural point calibration alone does not capture the uncertainty remaining after an implied-volatility (IV) surface has been obs…
