15 years of Adjoint Algorithmic Differentiation (AAD) in finance

Luca Capriotti and Mike Giles

Quantitative Finance, 2024, vol. 24, issue 9, 1353-1379

Abstract: Following the seminal ‘Smoking Adjoint’ paper by Giles and Glasserman [Smoking adjoints: Fast monte carlo greeks. Risk, 2006, 19, 88–92], the development of Adjoint Algorithmic Differentiation (AAD) has revolutionized the way risk is computed in the financial industry. In this paper, we provide a tutorial of this technique, illustrate how it is immediately applicable for Monte Carlo and Partial Differential Equations applications, the two main numerical techniques used for option pricing, and review the most significant literature in quantitative finance of the past fifteen years.
