by Mateusz Wilinski 22 Mar '20

22 Mar '20

*CALL FOR ABSTRACTS* *NETSCI2020 - SATELLITE CONFERENCE* *"STATISTICAL MECHANICS METHODS FOR NETWORKS**”* *https://sites.google.com/view/smmn <https://sites.google.com/view/smmn>* The NetSci 2020 conference was postponed to September. The situation is dynamic and it is still unclear what will be the final outcome. Nevertheless, we would like to draw your attention to a satellite session, which will surely follow the main conference. The objective of the Satellite conference on "Statistical Mechanics Methods for Networks” is to bring together academics, young researchers and PhD students working in the area of statistical models of both static and dynamic networks. A particular focus is then given to the study of methods based on Statistical Mechanics of networks, which permit the learning of mechanisms driving the formation and the evolution of the networked systems. The Satellite will provide an opportunity for participants engaged in research at the forefront of this area to discuss the novel results and may, in turn, suggest fruitful and relevant directions for future research. *How:* Submit your one page abstract by email to *mateusz.wilinski(a)sns.it <mateusz.wilinski(a)sns.it>* *Important dates**:* * Abstract/Paper submission deadline: 20.04.2020 * Notification of acceptance: 27.04.2020 *- **subject to change, depending on the final NetSci 2020 timeline* *Where and When:* TBA *INVITED SPEAKERS:* Rossana Mastrandrea (IMT Lucca) Andrey Lokhov (Los Alamos National Laboratory) *TOPICS:* - Graphs Ensembles - Network Reconstruction - Statistical Inference - Phase Transitions in Network Models - Percolation in Networks - Maximum Entropy for Networks - Statistically Validated Networks *ORGANIZING COMMITTEE:* Piero Mazzarisi (Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa) Mateusz Wilinski (Uniwersytet Warszawski) *PROGRAM COMMITTEE:* Paolo Barucca (University College London) Agata Fronczak (Politechnika Warszawska) Fabrizio Lillo (Università di Bologna) Leto Peel (Université Catholique de Louvain) Tiago Peixoto (Central European University) Katarzyna Sznajd-Weron (Politechnika Wroclawska) Daniele Tantari (Università di Bologna)

21 Mar '20

Dear all, we strongly hoped that the spread of Covid-19 would quickly attenuate, but it is now clear that, even if the situation were to become stable in Italy, there would be difficulties in reaching the conference venue for participants from abroad. For this reason, we regret to announce that the 14th International Conference on Ordered Statistical Data (OSD2020) has been postponed by one year, i.e., to May 2021 (same location - Vietri sul Mare, Italy). New announcements with the new dates of the conference will be send to all of you in October. We hope that the coronavirus outbreak will end soon, and we expect to see you next year.

Dear all, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Bayesian Young Statistician Meeting (BaYSM 2020) will be postponed by one year, i.e. to the two days 25-26 June 2021. BaYSM 2021 will be held at the same location (Kunming, China) and right before the postponed ISBA 2020 world meeting. We will invite you to visit the webpage of the event-- https://baysm2020.uconn.edu/-- that will be updated with the new dates and deadlines. We will send a new call for abstract after the summer. Note that we will consider only abstracts that will be sent in the new submission window. We hope that the coronavirus pandemic will end soon, and to see you all at the BaYSM meeting next year. On behalf of the BAYSM2021 organizing committee, best regards, Federico Camerlenghi -- Federico Camerlenghi Department of Economics, Management and Statistics University of Milano Bicocca, Milano, Italy. web-page: https://www.unimib.it/federico-camerlenghi

12 Mar '20

Ricevo e inoltro: assegno di ricerca in Deep Reinforcement Learning per candidati di settori diversi, anche senza esperienza, all'Università di Chieti-Pescara, Dipartimento di Economia, all'interno di un gruppo di ricerca di matematici. Dovrebbe essere la sede di Pescara. Scadenza 3 aprile 2020. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Maurizio Parton <parton(a)unich.it> Date: Tue, Mar 10, 2020 at 5:13 PM Subject: Assegno di ricerca MAT/03, MAT/06 e INF/01, con preghiera di diffusione Carissimi, potete per cortesia inoltrare questo messaggio nelle liste e alle persone che ritenete più opportune? Tre i settori interessati: MAT/03, MAT/06, INF/01. Scadenza 3 aprile 2020. Grazie mille, Mau ---------------------------------------------------------------- Apologies for multiple posting - English version below ---------------------------------------------------------------- Assegno di ricerca 1 anno + 1 anno, settori di interesse MAT/03, MAT/06 e INF/01. Bando: http://www.albo-pretorio.it/albo/archivio4_atto_0_356914_0_3.html Scadenza: 3 aprile 2020. È stato pubblicato il bando per un assegno di ricerca di un anno, rinnovabile, a tema Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), con sede Pescara. Richiesta laurea magistrale o equivalenti. Si cerca un candidato in grado di inserirsi in un gruppo di ricerca su problemi di varia natura. -) Problemi teorici. Ad esempio, ci sono vari algoritmi in DRL che sono molto usati perché funzionano bene, ma dei quali non si hanno ancora risultati teorici di convergenza o ottimalità. Competenze utili: probabilità, geometria. -) Problemi sperimentali. Ad esempio, estendere algoritmi tipicamente usati in giochi a due giocatori e informazione perfetta a giochi a più giocatori con informazione imperfetta. Competenze utili: algoritmi, teoria dei giochi, Python e TensorFlow o framework affini. -) Problemi applicati. Ad esempio, applicazioni nel mondo della finanza, che ben si presta a essere affrontata tramite DRL grazie alla grande quantità di dati a disposizione in questo settore. Competenze utili: probabilità, finanza. Seppur utile, una conoscenza di Deep Learning e/o Reinforcement Learning non è indispensabile, in quanto è prevista una prima fase di formazione e inserimento nel gruppo di ricerca. Per maggiori informazioni scrivere a parton(a)unich.it. ---------------------------------------------------------------- English version ---------------------------------------------------------------- Research grant 1 year + 1 year. Apply at: http://www.albo-pretorio.it/albo/archivio4_atto_0_356914_0_3.html Deadline: 3 April 2020. University of Pescara is opening a one-year position extendable to one more year, for research on Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL). Applicants must have a master degree in informatics or mathematics, but are not requested to have previous expertise in Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning, since a training period is foreseen. Knowledge of probability or geometry or finance or computer science, and expertise in Python or TensorFlow or similar frameworks are preferred. The research team is active on a wide range of topics. -) Theoretical problems: for instance, convergence or optimality for DRL algorithms. -) Experimental problems: for instance, extension of algorithms for two-players perfect information games to multi-player settings with imperfect information. -) Applied problems: for instance, applications to finance. For additional information, don't hesitate to contact parton(a)unich.it. ---------------------------------------------------------------- -- Francesco Morandin -- frmor.net Department of Mathematical, Physical and Computer Sciences Parma University -- sfmi.unipr.it To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the experiment died of.
