# TF Quant Finance: TensorFlow based Quant Finance Library
**Making [TF Quant Finance](https://github.com/google/tf-quant-finance) working again**: since the official repo has not been mantained for year and achieved, the following fork is making this library alive again. Feel free to contribute to the library fixing bugs and implementing new features.

## Introduction
This library provides high-performance components leveraging the hardware
acceleration support and automatic differentiation of TensorFlow. The
library will provide TensorFlow support for foundational mathematical methods,
mid-level methods, and specific pricing models. The coverage is being
expanded over the next few months.
The library is structured along three tiers:
1. **Foundational methods**.
Core mathematical methods - optimisation, interpolation, root finders,
linear algebra, random and quasi-random number generation, etc.
2. **Mid-level methods**.
ODE & PDE solvers, Ito process framework, Diffusion Path Generators,
Copula samplers etc.
3. **Pricing methods and other quant finance specific utilities**.
Specific Pricing models (e.g., Local Vol (LV), Stochastic Vol (SV),
Stochastic Local Vol (SLV), Hull-White (HW)) and their calibration.
Rate curve building, payoff descriptions, and schedule generation.
We aim for the library components to be easily accessible at each level. Each layer will be accompanied by many examples that can run independently of
higher-level components.
## Installation
The easiest way to get started with the library is via the pip package.
Note that the library requires Python 3.10 and Tensorflow >= 2.18.
First, please install the most recent version of TensorFlow by following
the [TensorFlow installation instructions](https://tensorflow.org/install).
For example, you could install TensorFlow
```sh
pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow tf_keras
```
Then run
```sh
pip3 install --upgrade tf-q-finance
```
You maybe also have to use the option ```--user```.
## TensorFlow training
If you are not familiar with TensorFlow, an excellent place to get started is with the
following self-study introduction to TensorFlow notebooks:
* [Introduction to TensorFlow Part 1 - Basics](https://colab.research.google.com/github/google/tf-quant-finance/blob/master/tf_quant_finance/examples/jupyter_notebooks/Introduction_to_TensorFlow_Part_1_-_Basics.ipynb).
* [Introduction to TensorFlow Part 2 - Debugging and Control Flow](https://colab.research.google.com/github/google/tf-quant-finance/blob/master/tf_quant_finance/examples/jupyter_notebooks/Introduction_to_TensorFlow_Part_2_-_Debugging_and_Control_Flow.ipynb).
* [Introduction to TensorFlow Part 3 - Advanced Tensor Manipulation](https://colab.research.google.com/github/google/tf-quant-finance/blob/master/tf_quant_finance/examples/jupyter_notebooks/Introduction_to_TensorFlow_Part_3_-_Advanced_Tensor_Manipulation.ipynb).
## Development roadmap
We are working on expanding the coverage of the library. Areas under active development are:
* Ito Processes: Framework for defining [Ito processes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%C3%B4_calculus#It%C3%B4_processes).
Includes methods for sampling paths from a process and for solving the
associated backward Kolmogorov equation.
* Implementation of the following specific processes/models:
* Brownian Motion
* Geometric Brownian Motion
* Ornstein-Uhlenbeck
* One-Factor Hull-White model
* Heston model
* Local volatility model.
* Quadratic Local Vol model.
* SABR model
* Copulas: Support for defining and sampling from copulas.
* Model Calibration:
* Dupire local vol calibration.
* SABR model calibration.
* Rate curve fitting: Hagan-West algorithm for yield curve bootstrapping and the Monotone Convex interpolation scheme.
* Support for dates, day-count conventions, holidays, etc.

## Contributing
We're eager to collaborate with you! See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for a guide on how to contribute. This project adheres to TensorFlow's code of conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code.
## Development
This section is for developers who want to contribute code to the
library. If you are only interested in using the library, please follow the
instructions in the [Installation](#installation) section.
### Development dependencies
This library has the following dependencies:
1. Python 3 (Bazel uses Python 3 by default)
3. TensorFlow version >= 2.19
4. TensorFlow Probability version >= 0.25.0
5. Numpy version 2.1.3
6. Attrs
7. Dataclasses (not needed if your Python version >= 3.7)
You can install TensorFlow and related dependencies using the ```pip3 install```
command:
```sh
pip3 install --upgrade tf-nightly tensorflow-probability==0.12.1 numpy==1.21 attrs dataclasses
```
### Commonly used commands
Clone the GitHub repository:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/paolodelia99/tf-quant-finance.git
```
After you run
```sh
cd tf_quant_finance
```
you can execute tests using the ```run_tests``` script in the scripts folder. For example,
```sh
source scripts/run_tests.sh
```
will run tests in
[sobol_test.py](https://github.com/paolodelia99/tf-quant-finance/blob/master/tf_quant_finance/math/random_ops/sobol/sobol_test.py)
.
Tests run using Python version 3. Please make sure that you can
run ```import tensorflow``` in the Python 3 shell. Otherwise, tests might fail.
### Building a custom pip package
The following commands will build custom pip package from source and install it:
```sh
# sudo apt-get install bazel git python python-pip rsync # For Ubuntu.
git clone https://github.com/paolodelia99/tf-quant-finance.git
cd tf-quant-finance
source scripts/build_wheel.sh # scripts/build_wheel.ps1 if you are on windows
pip install --user --upgrade dist/*.whl
```
