We consider a ramification of the deep BSDE loss functional designed to apply for BSDEs on bounded domains, i.e. with random (unbounded) time horizons. We derive a general convergence rate of the loss functional; precisely for a class of…

In many applications of relational learning, the available data can be seen as a sample from a larger relational structure (e.g. we may be given a small fragment from some social network). In this paper we are particularly concerned with…
