Suggested foundations for text and language models in finance and volatility models and surfaces. Specialist prerequisites vary by paper.
Understand how text is converted into numerical inputs.
Check whether labels measure the financial construct of interest.
Follow diffusion-based models and their assumptions.
Separate conditional volatility from observed returns.
Test whether a text-derived signal survives an honest financial evaluation.
Measure agreement when constructing or checking labels.
Study a correlated stochastic-variance model.
Start in discrete time, move to Brownian motion, then read the original pricing argument and simulate it.
