AFTAs 2022: Most innovative third-party technology vendor (AI and machine learning)—CompatibL
Project: Autoencoder Market Models (AEMMs)
Overview
The inclusion of multifactor Autoencoder* Market Models (AEMMs) in the latest release of the CompatibL Platform v8.0 represents a new capability in addition to the range of conventional interest rate models available within the software. Users can choose AEMMs for all calculations within the software, from valuations and XVA in a risk-neutral measure to counterparty credit risk and limits in a real-world measure.
* An autoencoder is a form of artificial neural network designed to learn data encodings in an unsupervised manner.
Innovation
The philosophy driving CompatibL’s products is continuous development without losing sight of present market requirements/drivers. As part of the firm’s R&D initiative, it encourages new ideas in order to respond to current market conditions and meet its clients’ needs. This includes discovering, inventing and developing new features and services to address their growing demands and evolving expectations.
“With the unprecedented upheaval of financial markets caused by recent world events, portfolio valuation and risk require forward-looking scenarios that must cover all the possible market regimes. We believe Autoencoder Market Models can succeed in representing these diverse risk scenarios required by today’s market landscape and envision a future where reduced reliance on conventional models, as well as an increased automation of interest-rate modeling, can be adopted on a broader scale.”
Alexander Sokol, founder and executive chairman, CompatibL
Examples of innovation
- AEMMs: A new type of interest rate model based on autoencoders, used to optimally represent historical yield curves and volatility surface shapes.
- Autoencoders for the visualization of market data regimes: Generated maps that illuminate the interest rate regimes covered by historical time-series for each currency.
- Market generators: Machine-learning algorithms for generating realistic samples of market data when historical time-series have insufficient length or gaps.
Future developments
CompatibL was the first vendor to deploy autoencoders for interest rate models in a production environment, underlining its commitment to innovation. The firm is actively working to extend AEMMs to other asset classes with high-dimensional market data represented by curves and surfaces, including credit and commodities. According to Alexander Sokol, founder and executive chairman of CompatibL, this functionality will be released sometime next year.
Why they won
Innovation is at the heart of what CompatibL does: introducing new methods of addressing complex problems for its capital markets clients. This win follows last year’s success in the best new technology introduced over the last 12 months (trading and risk) category in these awards, thanks to the release of its machine learning-based market generators underpinning the firm’s credit risk model. Given CompatibL’s propensity for pushing the AI-based risk model envelope, who would bet against it picking up another category in these awards next year?
