Deep Hedging under Rough Volatility

We investigate the performance of the Deep Hedging framework under training paths beyond the (finite dimensional) Markovian setup. In particular, we analyse the hedging performance of the original architecture under rough volatility models in view of existing theoretical results for those. Furthermo...
