Seminar Blanka Horvath in Padova (16/04/'19)
by Giorgia Callegaro 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

Dear all, I invite you to the seminar "Deep learning volatility", that will be given by Dr. Blanka Horvath (King's College - Londra), next Tuesday at 11.30, in room 2BC30 of the Mathematics Department in Padova. The abstract follows: * Abstract: We present a consistent neural network based calibration method for a number of volatility models-including the rough volatility family-that performs the calibration task within a few milliseconds for the full implied volatility surface. The aim of neural networks in this work is an off-line approximation of complex pricing functions, which are difficult to represent or time-consuming to evaluate by other means. We highlight how this perspective opens new horizons for quantitative modelling: The calibration bottleneck posed by a slow pricing of derivative contracts is lifted. This brings several model families (such as rough volatility models) within the scope of applicability in industry practice. As customary for machine learning, the form in which information from available data is extracted and stored is crucial for network performance. With this in mind we discuss how our approach addresses the usual challenges of machine learning solutions in a financial context (availability of training data, interpretability of results for regulators, control over generalisation errors). We present specific architectures for price approximation and calibration and optimize these with respect different objectives regarding accuracy, speed and robustness. We also find that including the intermediate step of learning pricing functions of (classical or rough) models before calibration significantly improves network performance compared to direct calibration to data. The talk is based on joint work with A. Muguruza an M. Tomas, available here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3322085 See you there (if interested!), Giorgia -- Giorgia Callegaro Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics - University of Padova Via Trieste 63 , I-35121 Padova - ITALY Tel: +39-0498271481 Fax: +39-0498271499 E-Mail: gcallega(a)math.unipd.it <https://webmail.math.unipd.it/horde3/imp/message.php?mailbox=Sent&index=598#> Personal web-page: https://sites.google.com/site/giogiocallegaro/Home

Luned' 15 Aprile avremo il seguente seminario in Aula di Consiglio (Dipartimento di Matematica, La Sapienza, Roma), alle ore 16.00: Speaker: Marco Romito (Universita' di Pisa). Title: Fluctuations for point vortices Abstract: The first part of the presentation is a short review of a statistical mechanics model of point vortices for the 2D Euler equations and their mean field limit. In the second part we outline a proof of Gaussian fluctuations from the mean field limit. The result holds on the torus, on the sphere and on bounded domains.

The meeting is organized both by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science and the Department of Economics of the University of Perugia. As in the AMASES established tradition, the purpose of the meeting is to stimulate discussion among scholars and ... Topic of the session Far more than in the past, policy makers, investors, and data scientists are required to take decisions based on sparse and noisy data. Observations from heterogeneous sources, typically sampled at different frequencies, and contaminated by noise, need to be aggregated and analyzed jointly. This is customary in several economic applications, including macroeconomics, high-frequency finance, climate economics, and data science. Traditional mathematical and statistical methods can lead to misleading conclusions when these features are not properly accounted for. The objective of this session is to present the latest methodologies and to foster discussions among researchers from different fields. Theoretical and empirical papers are welcome. Topics include but are not limited to: - high-frequency time series modelling - mixed-frequency data modelling in economic and social sciences - dimensionality reduction and factor analysis - sparse data modelling - noisy data filtering and smoothing It is a great pleasure to invite you to submit an extended abstract. To be considered for the stream, please submit your abstract by specifying the stream code (MSND) in the file name (MSND-[surname of author who will present the paper].pdf).

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Venerdì 12 Aprile 2019, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Daniel PAULIN (University of Oxford) CONNECTIONS BETWEEN OPTIMIZATION AND SAMPLING In this talk, I am going to look at some connections between optimization and sampling. In “Hamiltonian descent methods’’, we introduce a new optimization method is based on conformal Hamiltonian dynamics. It was inspired by the literature on Hamiltonian MCMC methods. The use of general kinetic energies allows us to obtain linear rates of convergence for a much larger class than strongly convex and smooth functions. “Dual Space Preconditioning for Gradient Descent” applies a similar idea to gradient descent. We introduce a new optimization method based on nonlinear preconditioning of gradient descent, with simple and transparent conditions for convergence. “Randomized Hamiltonian Monte Carlo as Scaling Limit of the Bouncy Particle Sampler and Dimension-Free Convergence Rates” studies the high dimensional behaviour of the Bouncy Particle Sampler (BPS), a non-reversible piecewise deterministic MCMC method. Although the paths of this method are straight lines, we show that in high dimensions they converge to a Randomised Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (RHMC) process, whose paths are determined by the Hamiltonian dynamics. We also give a characterization of the mixing rate of the RHMC process for log-concave target distributions that can be used to tune the parameters of BPS. ------------------------------------------------ Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

One of the two courses focusses on different models of random graphs (model G(n,p), configuration model, preferential attachment model, random graph processes, ...) together with techniques in these models (switching techniques, differential equation method,...), whereas the other course will focus on concepts and techniques related to random walks and Markov chains (mixing times, hitting times, random spanning trees, cutoff phenomena, ...). The school is aimed at advanced master students, PhD students, or researchers in an early stage of their career working in the broad field of discrete probability and its applications. Further details can be found at: https://math.unice.fr/~dmitsche/Summerschool/Summerschool.html Being a popular summer holiday destination, lodging in Nice in summer is expensive. However, the school is supported by different sponsors: Universite Cote d'Azur, UCA Academie 1, Universite Nice, google, PIMS. Registration fees (including 2-week stay in a single bedroom close to the university, lunches and coffee breaks during lecture days): 400 Euro. Discounts for people without need for lodging. However, the number of participants being limited, we might have to make a selection. If you want to participate, send an email to dmitsche(a)gmail.com. Attach a CV as well as a short motivation letter for your participation. Deadline for registration: May 1, 2019. You will be informed shortly afterwards whether your application was successful.

Cari tutti, Ricordo il seminario che si terrà venerdì 5 aprile alle ore 16.30 in aula D’Antoni, Dipartimento di Matematica, Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata. Speaker: Paolo Di Tella (Technische Universität Dresden) Title: On The Weak Representation Property in Progressively Enlarged Filtrations with an Application in Exponential Utility Maximization Abstract: In this talk we show that the weak representation property of a semimartingale X with respect to a filtration F is preserved in the progressive enlargement G by a random time τ avoiding F-stopping times and such that F is immersed in G. As an application of this, we can solve an exponential utility maximization problem in the enlarged filtration G following the dynamical approach, based on suitable BSDEs, both over the fixed-time horizon [0, T], T > 0, and over the random-time horizon [0, T ∧ τ]. — This talk is part of the activity of the MIUR Excellence Department Project CUP E83C18000100006 — Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
