Dear colleagues,
you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano.

Title: Market Making with fads, Informed and Uninformed traders.
Abstract: We characterize the solutions to a continuous-time optimal liquidity provision problem in a market populated by informed and uninformed traders. In our model, the asset price exhibits fads -- these are short-term deviations from the fundamental value of the asset. Conditional on the value of the fad, we model how informed traders and uninformed traders arrive in the market. The market maker knows of the two groups of traders but only observes the anonymous order arrivals. We study both the complete information and the partial information versions of the control problem faced by the market maker. In such frameworks, we characterize the value of information, and we find the price of liquidity as a function of the proportion of informed traders in the market. Lastly, for the partial information setup, we explore how to go beyond the Kalman-Bucy filter to extract information about the fad from the market arrivals.
Next seminar: Marzia De Donno (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore), 19 February 12:15.
All news can be found on the QFinLab webpage<https://www.qfinlab.polimi.it/seminars-and-meetings/>.

Dear all,
the next One World Approximate Bayesian Inference (OWABI) Seminar<https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/news/upcoming-seminars/abcworldsem…> is quickly approaching, being scheduled on Thursday, the 30th January at 11am UK time.
Our next speaker is Paul Bürkner<https://paulbuerkner.com/> (TU Dortmund University), who will talk about "Amortized Mixture and Multilevel Models" with an abstract reported below.
Abstract: Probabilistic mixture and multilevel models are central building blocks in Bayesian data analysis. However, they remain challenging to estimate and evaluate, especially when the involved likelihoods or priors are analytically intractable. Recent developments in generative deep learning and simulation-based inference have shown promising results in scaling up Bayesian inference through amortization. Against this background, we have developed specialized neural inference frameworks for estimating Bayesian mixture and multilevel models. The involved neural architectures are closely mirroring the probabilistic symmetries and conditional (in-)dependencies assumed by these models. This not only speeds up neural network training, but also enables amortized inference for new datasets of varying number of groups and sample sizes.
Keywords: Amortized Bayesian Inference; Neural Posterior Estimation; Probabilistic Factorization
This and all talks are hosted on the OWABI Ms Teams Channel, which is available here https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3AdhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KShEETkd_w….

Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly
organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi:
*The random Markov property for random walks in random environments*
by *Rangel Baldasso* (*PUC-Rio*)
The seminar will take place on TUE, 21.01.2025 at *14:00 CET* in Aula
Tricerri, Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica "Ulisse Dini",
Università degli Studi di Firenze, and streamed online at this link
<https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>.
The organizers,
A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco
https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass
--------------------------------------------
*Abstract: We consider random walks evolving in dynamic random environments
and propose a criterion which, if satisfied, allows to decompose the random
walk trajectory into i.i.d. increments, and ultimately to prove limit
theorems. This criterion, dubbed the random Markov property, involves the
construction of a random field built from the environment that has to
satisfy a certain Markovian-like property along with some mixing estimates.
We apply this criterion to correlated environments such as Boolean
percolation and renewal chains featuring polynomial decay of correlations.
Based on a joint work with Julien Allasia, Oriane Blondel, and Augusto
Teixeira.*

BioInference aims to bring together researchers from across statistics and mathematical modelling who work with biological systems, to foster discussions and prompt collaborations between the two communities across all career stages.
After the previous three editions hosted in the UK, the BioInference 2025 conference (https://bioinference.github.io/2025/) is now going abroad to Italy.
This year’s BioInference conference will take place in Bardonecchia, a town in the Alps near Turin on the 28-30 May 2025. Differently from previous editions, this year's conference is going to be a residential 3-days event that will include more talks and networking opportunities compared to previous years. A hike activity will take place on the second day!
The three-day conference will combine contributed talks and poster sessions. We now invite abstracts for oral/poster presentations on work on mathematical modelling and/or statistical methods (either development or application) for (widely defined/interpreted) biological problems. All presentations will be in-person with no-parallel sessions.
The abstract can be submitted here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdxF-b-Q_TY0o0F8T_fRmgY6_SAC72w71O… by the 31st January 2025.
