Abstract:
I present a deep learning method for optimal stopping problems which directly learns the optimal stopping rule from Monte Carlo samples. As such it is broadly applicable in situations where the underlying randomness can efficiently be simulated. The approach is tested on different problems. In all cases it produces very accurate results in high-dimensional situations with short computing times.
