Seminario 4 giugno e visita a Milano Bandyopadhyay Antar
by Giacomo Aletti 20 May '24

20 May '24

Nell’ambito dei progetti di eccellenza, il Prof. Bandyopadhyay Antar Theoretical Statistics and Mathematics Unit Head of Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi Centre, New Delhi, India sarà a Milano nella settimana 2-9 giugno. È stato organizzato un seminario per il 4 giugno 2024 dalle ore 14.30 alle ore 15.30 in Aula Maggiore, via Celoria 2, Milano, dal titolo A classical random reinforcement model viewed differently! Abstract: In this talk, we will start by explaining a classical random reinforcement model introduced by Pólya back in 1920 which is widely known as the Pólya's urn scheme. We will then indicate several unrelated examples can be thought as following Pólya's model provided we allow ourselves a novel infinite dimensional generalization. After indicating the difficulties which arise due to absence of good mathematical (mostly algebraic) techniques to deal with infinite dimensional matrices (or appropriate linear operators), we will explain a new probabilistic technique to handle the infinite dimensional generalization. We shall define a novel stochastic process which will turn out to be Markov with respect to a new type of "time'' parameter, which instead of deterministic and unidirectional, will be random and will have a tree-type structure. We shall show that this new process and the infinite dimensional generalization of Pólya's balanced urn scheme have the same law. This will enable us to derive fairly general scaling limits for the infinite dimensional scheme and show that classical results can be easily derived without much difficulties and completely avoiding algebraic techniques. Moreover, we will show that apparently unrelated problems arising from a variety of different fields such as combinatorics, statistical physics and statistics, can be solved by using this new generalization. Il seminario è pensato per un pubblico non specialistico ed è aperto a tutti.

talk Prof. Nacira Agram on May 23, 2024 - REMINDER
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 20 May '24

20 May '24

Dear all, you are all invited to participate to the following seminar on *Thursday 23th of May 2024 at 15:00* in Aula Seminari Demografica 2062 at University of Milano Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8, Milano - building U7, 2nd floor): Speaker: *Nacira Agram (KTH Stockholm)* Titolo: *Deep learning for conditional McKean-Vlasov Jump diffusions* Abstract: My talk focuses on using deep learning methods to optimize the control of conditional McKean-Vlasov jump diffusions. We begin by exploring the dynamics of multi-particle jump-diffusion and presenting the propagation of chaos. The optimal control problem in the context of conditional McKean-Vlasov jump-diffusion is introduced along with the verification theorem (HJB equation). A linear quadratic conditional mean-field (LQ CMF) is discussed to illustrate these theoretical concepts. Then, we introduce a deep-learning algorithm that combines neural networks for optimization with path signatures for conditional expectation estimation. The algorithm is applied to practical examples, including LQ CMF and interbank systemic risk, and we share the resulting numerical outcomes. Based on joint work with Jan Rems.

Seminario Padova - Marta Leocata
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 20 May '24

20 May '24

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (24 Maggio) alle ore 14:30 in aula 2AB45 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Marta Leocata (Luiss University) https://sites.google.com/view/martaleocata/ Title: A MFG approach for competing firms in the Emission Trading System Date: May 24, 2024, at 14:30, 2AB45 Abstract: In this talk I will consider the problem of reducing the carbon emissions of a set of firms over a finite time horizon. Firms can trade allowances in a way that minimizes the total expected costs from abatement and trading plus a terminal quadratic penalty, and they can also choose which type of energy to use (fossil or green) to produce their goods and thus maximize profits from production. Using mean-field game theory and mean field control theory, we aim to understand how different types of market competition can influence the energy transition. This is a joint work with Giulia Livieri (LSE) and Gianmarco Del Sarto (SNS). Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 24 Maggio 2024, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: Samuel Livingston (UCL UK) Title: *Robust gradient-based sampling algorithms using skew-symmetric numerical schemes* Abstract: State-of-the-art sampling algorithms for smooth continuous distributions are typically gradient-based, e.g. Langevin or Hamiltonian Monte Carlo. It is known, however, that particular features of the distribution to be sampled can cause them to be unstable/work poorly. The algorithms are typically based on a numerical simulation of some stochastic process (e.g. the overdamped Langevin diffusion), and the instability comes from the choice of numerical scheme. I will introduce a new explicit numerical scheme for diffusions, which has skew-symmetric increments, and can be used to design simple and fast sampling algorithms that are provably more robust. I will show that the resulting 'unadjusted Barker algorithm', so called because of its connection to the Barker Metropolis—Hastings algorithm of Livingstone & Zanella (JRSS B, 2022) is well-defined and converges at a geometric rate to an equilibrium which is close to the distribution of interest in many cases when the unadjusted Langevin algorithm is transient. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81530120491?pwd=YUV4Y2dtb1creEMvRkR5SkpmeW1sQT09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>
