The core of this method lies in designing an appropriate neural network structure (such as [[fully connected network|fully connected networks]] or [[recurrent neural networks]]) and selecting effective optimization algorithms. The primary steps of the deep BSDE algorithm are as follows:

# Initialize the parameters of the neural network.

# Generate Brownian motion paths using Monte Carlo simulation.**

# At each time step, calculate <math> Y_t </math> and <math> Z_t </math> using the neural network.**

# Compute the loss function based on the backward iterative formula of the BSDE.**

# Optimize the neural network parameters using stochastic gradient descent until convergence<ref name="Han2018" /><ref name="Beck2019" />.**

==Application==

Deep BSDE is widely used in the fields of financial derivatives pricing, risk management, and asset allocation. It is particularly suitable for:

# High-Dimensional Option Pricing:** Pricing complex derivatives like [[basket options]] and [[Asian options]], which involve multiple underlying assets<ref name="Han2018" />.

# Risk Measurement:** Calculating risk measures such as [[Conditional Value-at-Risk]] (CVaR) and [[Expected Shortfall]] (ES)* <ref name="Beck2019">{{cite journal | last1=Beck | first1=C. | last2=E | first2=W. | last3=Jentzen | first3=A. | title=Machine learning approximation algorithms for high-dimensional fully nonlinear partial differential equations and second-order backward stochastic differential equations | journal=Journal of Nonlinear Science | volume=29 | issue=4 | pages=1563-1619 | year=2019 }}</ref>.
