6-year position in probability in Vienna
by Fabio Toninelli 03 Jan '20

03 Jan '20

Dear friends and colleagues, the Technical University of Vienna is advertising a 6-year post-doctoral assistant position <https://tiss.tuwien.ac.at/mbl/blatt_struktur/anzeigen/10378?locale=en#p472.3> in probability (the position is comparable to a non-tenure track "junior professor position" in the German system). The successful candidate will work in the Mathematical Stochastics group, that I will start leading in March 2020. I would be grateful if you could forward this message to any suitable candidates (the application deadline is January 15, 2020). Candidates are encouraged to contact me directly by e-mail for any question related to this position. With best wishes and many thanks Fabio Toninelli -- Fabio Toninelli Institut Camille Jordan, Universite' Lyon 1 43 bd du 11 novembre 1918 69622 Villeurbanne Cedex, France Office 105, tel: +33 (0) 4 26 23 44 41

Seminario Prof. Claudio Macci

Il Prof. Claudio MACCI dell'Università di Roma Tor Vergata mercoledì 4 dicembre 2019 alle ore 16 nell'Aula E al III livello del Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni dell'Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II terrà un seminario dal titolo: Large deviations for risk measures in finite mixture models ABSTRACT Due to their heterogeneity, insurance risks can be properly described as a mixture of different fixed models, where the weights assigned to each model may be estimated empirically from a sample of available data. If a risk measure is evaluated on the estimated mixture instead of the (unknown) true one, then it is important to investigate the committed error. In this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour of estimated risk measures, as the data sample size tends to infinity, in the fashion of large deviations. We obtain large deviation results by applying the contraction principle, and the rate functions are given by a suitable variational formula; explicit expressions are available for mixtures of two models. Finally, our results are applied to the most common risk measures, namely the quantiles, the expected shortfall and the shortfall risk measure. Joint work with Valeria Bignozzi and Lea Petrella.

Avviso di Seminario, università di Trento Stochastic homogenization in amorphous media and applications to interacting particle systems and random resistor networks Giovedì 5 dicembre 2019 Luogo: Polo Ferrari 1, via Sommarive, 5 - Povo (TN) - Aula A221 Ore: 16:00 Relatore: Alessandra Faggionato (Università La Sapienza, Roma) Abstract: We consider random walks on marked simple point processes with symmetric jump rates and unbounded jump range. Examples are given by simple random walks on Delaunay triangulations or Mott variable range hopping in doped semiconductors. We present homogenization results for the associated Markov generators. As a first application, we obtain the hydrodynamic limit of the exclusion process given by multiple random walks as above, with hard–core interaction. As a second application, we derive a limit theorem for the effective conductivity of some classes of random resistor networks. This result together with a percolation-type analysis allows to derive the low temperature scaling behavior of conductivity in some classes of strongly disordered media.

Seminar Berthet @Bocconi
by Giacomo Zanella 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

We announce the following DEC Statistics seminar: Thursday, November 28 12:30 Meeting room 3-e4-sr03, Bocconi University, Via Roentgen 1, 3rd floor Quentin Berthet (Google Research) Title: Optimal transport methods in statistics and machine learning: theory and applications Abstract: Optimal transport is one of the foundational problems of optimization, and a very important topic in analysis. It asks how one can transport mass with a given measure to have another measure, with minimal global transport cost. The associated Wasserstein distance is a useful statistical tool to compare distributions, taking into account geometric properties of the data. In this presentation, I will talk about two recent projects on this topic. In the first one, we propose a novel approach for unsupervised embedding alignment, and show applications to natural language processing. It is based on a new approach for Wasserstein loss minimization (joint work with E. Grave and A. Joulin). In the second one, we provide new methods and guarantees for estimation of distributions with smooth densities, in the Wasserstein distance. We show that these tools, inspired by techniques in nonparametric statistics, yield information-theoretic optimal results. We also develop ideas to handle our proposed estimators in a computationally efficient manner, and explore some of the associated computational trade-offs (joint work with J. Weed). Kind regards, Giacomo Zanella The DEC statistics seminars schedule is available at http://www.unibocconi.eu/statseminar Please note: if you are a guest and you do not have a Bocconi ID Card to access to the Bocconi Buildings, please communicate your participation by sending an email to elisa.picassi(a)unibocconi.it
