Synthetic Data Generation with GANs - Quant Researcher Interview Question
Difficulty: Hard
Category: machine_learning
Practice quant interview questions from top firms including Jane Street, Citadel, Two Sigma, DE Shaw, and other leading quantitative finance companies.
Topics: machine_learning, risk_model, statistics, numpy
Problem Description
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are essential tools in quantitative finance for creating synthetic market data, enabling the stress testing of trading strategies and the training of reinforcement learning agents on simulated scenarios. By orchestrating a zero-sum game between a generator and a discriminator, these models learn to approximate complex asset return distributions.
Task
Implement a simultaneous Gradient Descent update step for a simple 1D GAN consisting of a linear generator
