What is it about?
The paper explores how financial expertise enhances option pricing accuracy by dividing pricing tasks, refining neural network structures, and adjusting training data. These techniques ensure rational predictions, even in highly illiquid markets.

Why is it important?
We decompose the option value into the analytically solvable intrinsic value and the time value, focusing the neural network's prediction solely on the time value, significantly reducing pricing errors. A key innovation is our derivation of the financial properties of time value, which serves as the foundation for the neural network architecture and data augmentation strategies. Combined with a learnable data cleaning technique tailored for illiquid market conditions, this approach marks a significant advancement in improving option pricing accuracy and practical applicability.
Perspectives
This paper applies extensive financial engineering expertise to the field of AI in finance. While topics like asset valuation, risk management, and investor behavior have been heavily explored in finance, they have rarely attracted significant attention from AI researchers. This makes integrating neural network technology with financial know-how a critical and promising direction for the future. In my view, this paper highlights the potential for AI to enhance traditional financial methods, and I believe it paves the way for more interdisciplinary collaborations that can address complex financial problems with modern AI techniques.
