Differential Machine Learning for 0DTE Options with Stochastic Volatility and Jumps

arXiv:2603.07600

summary

The paper introduces a differential machine learning framework that jointly learns option prices and Greeks for zero‑day‑to‑expiry options under stochastic‑volatility jump‑diffusion models, using a Black‑Scholes‑style formulation with variance corrections and a PIDE‑residual penalty.

Abstract

We present a differential machine learning method for zero-days-to-expiry (0DTE) options under a stochastic-volatility jump-diffusion model. To handle the ultra-short-maturity regime, we express the option price in Black-Scholes form with a maturity-gated variance correction, combining supervision on prices and Greeks with a PIDE-residual penalty. Prices and Greeks are derived from a single trained pricing network, while jump-term identifiability is ensured by a jump-operator network fitted jointly in a three-stage procedure. The method improves jump-term approximation relative to one-stage baselines while maintaining comparable pricing errors. Furthermore, it reduces errors in Greeks, produces stable one-day delta hedges, and offers significant speedups over Fourier-based benchmarks. Calibration experiments demonstrate the network's efficiency as a pricer and incorporating jump-intensity price sensitivity into the learning process further improves the overall model fit. We also consider a jump rough Heston model.
