🚀 Fractional-Neural Jump-Diffusion Credit Risk Model

A cutting-edge quantum-enhanced neural framework for multi-regime credit risk assessment with path-dependent memory effects 🧠⚡

🌟 What is This Project?

This repository implements a revolutionary approach to credit risk modeling that combines five groundbreaking mathematical contributions into a unified framework. Think of it as the fusion of:

🧠 Neural Networks (for learning complex patterns)
🌊 Fractional Brownian Motion (for memory effects)
🔄 Regime Switching (for market state transitions)
⚛️ Quantum Computing (for portfolio optimization)
📈 Jump-Diffusion Processes (for sudden market shocks)

🎯 The Big Picture

Traditional credit risk models assume markets have no memory and follow simple patterns. We know that's not true!

This model captures:

Memory effects: Past events influence future risk (via fractional kernels)
Regime changes: Markets switch between normal, stress, and crisis states
Jump shocks: Sudden credit events that traditional models miss
Quantum optimization: Leveraging quantum computers for better portfolio allocation

1. Fractional Kernel 🌊

class FractionalKernel:
    """
    Implements K_H(t,s) = (t-s)^(H-1/2) / Γ(H+1/2)
    
    This is THE mathematically correct kernel for fractional Brownian motion.
    H > 0.5: Long memory (persistent)
    H < 0.5: Anti-persistent (mean reverting)
    H = 0.5: Standard Brownian motion (no memory)
    """

2. Neural SDE 🧠

class RegimeSwitchingNeuralSDE:
    """
    Solves: dX_t = μ_θ(X_t,t,S_t)dt + σ_θ(X_t,t,S_t)dB^H_t + dJ_t
    
    Where:
    - μ_θ: Neural network for drift (mean reversion)
    - σ_θ: Neural network for volatility (risk)
    - S_t: Hidden regime state
    - dJ_t: Compound Poisson jumps (credit events)
    """

3. Quantum Optimizer ⚛️

class QuantumPortfolioOptimizer:
    """
    Solves: min x^T Q x subject to x ∈ {0,1}^n
    
    Uses QAOA (Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm):
    - Encodes portfolio problem as QUBO

🔬 Behind the Scenes

🎭 Fun Facts

Mathematical Precision: The fractional kernel implementation uses the EXACT Mandelbrot-Van Ness representation (not approximations!)
Quantum Ready: Code automatically detects if quantum hardware is available and gracefully falls back to classical optimization
Memory Magic: The H=0.7 Hurst parameter means the model has "long memory" - events from weeks ago still influence today's risk!
Regime Detection: The neural network discovers market regimes WITHOUT being told what they are
Production Quality: Used proper software engineering practices with type hints, error handling, and comprehensive logging

🧪 Implementation Choices

Why Cholesky Decomposition for fBm? We use the mathematically rigorous approach rather than fast approximations. This ensures our fractional Brownian motion has the EXACT covariance structure theory predicts.

Why QAOA over Classical Optimizers? Portfolio optimization is fundamentally combinatorial (which assets to include?). Quantum computers have theoretical advantages for these NP-hard problems.

Why Layer Normalization in Neural Networks? Financial time series have varying scales and non-stationary statistics. Layer normalization makes training more stable.

🎪 Easter Eggs

Look for the "FIXED: Was..." comments in the quantum optimizer - we found and fixed several subtle bugs!
The regime colors in plots (green/yellow/red) represent normal/stress/crisis states
ASCII art in the neural architecture diagram took way too long to perfect 😅
