    Abstract: We examine how to approximate the solution of semi-linear parabolic PDE with terminal conditions using deep neural network. We will link the solution to a certain SDE, from which we can sample the trajectories, and the terminal condition used in order to define a loss function. The solution is parametrized by Deep Neural Network (DNN). The loss is minimized over sample paths to optimize the parametrization. The talk is based on the paper by Han, Jentzen and E : https://arxiv.org/pdf/1707.02568.pdf. Time permitting, we may also take a look at a related paper on using DL to solve optimal stopping problem: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.05394.pdf.
