Chebyshev for IMA-FRTB

In this talk we present results obtained within the systems of a tier-1 bank for a capital calculation within FRTB IMA, using Chebyshev tensors to massively accelerate and economise the calculation while retaining a high level of accuracy required by the regulation.

This video is similar to the one titled “Machine Learning + Chebyshev for Risk calculations”, but making more emphasis on the IMA-FRTB results at at a Tier-1 bank.

Chebyshev Tensors & Machine Learning in Dynamic Initial Margin

In this presentation we see how Chebyshev Tensors and Machine Learning techniques can be used in the calculation of Dynamic Initial Margin (DIM). We start by giving an overview of the main mathematical properties behind Chebyshev Tensors. Then we see how these can be used to approximate pricing functions within risk calculations to alleviate the huge computational burden associated with them. Finally we explain how Chebyshev Tensors can be used in the calculation of DIM and present DIM calculations obtained with Chebyshev Tensors, Deep Neural Networks and other regression types.

Machine Learning + Chebyshev for Risk calculations

We describe how to use Chebyshev Tensors in combination with Machine Learning techniques to compute risk calculations efficiently.

 

This video is similar to the one titled “Computational Challenge of IMA FRTB”, but making more emphasis on the Machine Learning part of the algorithms.
