Automatic IFT for Live Risk Transition
QuantMinds presentation demonstrating how Automated Implicit Function Theorem enables transition from overnight batch risk to real-time Live Risk without multi-year IT transformation.
Key Takeaways
- Transform overnight batch risk into real-time Live Risk
- Automatic differentiation of calibration routines using AIFT
- No hidden variable tracking or large Jacobian computation required
- QuantLib integration achieving 20ms pricing + Greeks for 1000 swaps
Technical Highlights
- Automated Implicit Function Theorem (AIFT) for solver differentiation
- Works with exact-fit and nearly-exact calibrations
- No codebase refactoring required
- Checkpointing approach without going into solvers
