QD-PINN:A Physics-Informed Neural Network Approach to Bayesian Quickest Detection in High-Dimensional Diffusions

Read the original on arXiv Statistics ML →

The paper introduces QD-PINN, a physics-informed neural network framework for estimating optimal stopping boundaries in quickest detection problems involving high-dimensional diffusion processes. It establishes a theoretical equivalence between the free-boundary PDE and an infinite-dimensional stochastic optimization problem, justifying the use of finite-dimensional neural networks. The authors demonstrate the method’s robustness by quantifying uncertainty with deep ensembles and Monte Carlo dropout, showing low variability and close agreement with reference numerical solutions.

Deep Neural Operator Learning for Probabilistic Models

The paper introduces a deep neural-operator framework for a broad class of probabilistic models, proving a universal approximation theorem under global Lipschitz conditions and explicit network-size bounds. It requires only integrability and general tail-probability conditions on the underlying stochastic processes, which are verified for European and American option-pricing problems within the forward-backward SDE framework. A numerical example with a basket of American options demonstrates that the learned model can generate optimal stopping boundaries for new strike prices without retraining.

Rigorous Error Certification for Neural PDE Solvers: From Empirical Residuals to Solution Guarantees

The paper presents a theoretical framework for certifying the accuracy of physics‑informed neural networks (PINNs) used to solve partial differential equations. It derives generalization bounds that link the residual loss minimized during training to the actual error in the solution space, showing that if the neural approximation stays within a compact subset, a vanishing residual guarantees convergence to the true solution. Deterministic and probabilistic convergence results are provided, offering explicit error guarantees based on residual, boundary, and initial condition errors.
