Abstract: Neural network (NN) de-Americanization produces fast and accurate pseudo-European option prices from listed American option prices, facilitating the calibration of derivative models. The industry approach binomial de-Americanization takes a flat volatility surface as input for each strike and expiration. In contrast, the NN de-Americanization method takes the detailed shape of the volatility surface as an input; this is critical for accurately evaluating the early exercise premium (EEP) when interest rates are not close to zero.
