Yoshihiro Tawada proposes using variational inference – a technique widely used in machine learning – to obtain foreign exchange implied volatilities with nonlinear constraints for strike-order consistency and for no arbitrage. The algorithm gives reasonable implied volatilities within bid-ask spreads of at-the-money, risk reversal and butterfly volatilities
The simplest way to obtain a set of implied volatilities is by using the midpoint of bid and ask
