For this purpose we introduce a new class of state-dependent volatility operators that map the square integrable noise into the Filipovi\\'{c} space of forward curves. For calibration, we specify a fully parametrized version of our model and train a neural network to approximate the true option price as a function of the model parameters. This neural network can then be used to calibrate the HJM parameters based on observed option prices. We conduct a numerical case study based on artificially generated option prices in a deterministic volatility setting. In this setting we derive closed pricing formulas, allowing us to benchmark the neural network based calibration approach. We also study calibration in illiquid markets with a large bid-ask spread. The experiments reveal a high degree of accuracy in recovering the prices after calibration, even if the original meaning of the model parameters is partly lost in the approximation step.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.01911v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.01911v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"accuracy-of-deep-learning-in-calibrating-hjm","repo_url":"https://github.com/silvialava/HJM_calibration_with_NN","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"deep-learning","task_name":"Deep Learning"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
