One world probability seminar on Thursday 14 December
by Ilya Chevyrev 08 Dec '23

08 Dec '23

Dear all, The next session of the One World Probability Seminar will be next week on Thursday (December 14) from 14:00 to 16:00 *UTC time*.The speakers of this session are Marcel Nutz (Columbia University) and Stephan Eckstein (ETH Zürich). Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be also found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. Kind regards, Julio Backhoff and Ilya Chevyrev. Title: Entropic Selection in Optimal Transport Abstract:The optimal transport problem can admit many solutions, for instance when the cost function is the Euclidean distance on R^d (Monge's problem). On the other hand, entropically regularized optimal transport (EOT) always has a unique optimizer. It is a longstanding open problem whether EOT selects some particular optimal transport coupling in the vanishing regularization limit, and what that coupling would look like. We provide a surprising answer for Monge's problem in dimension d > 1. (Joint work with Chenyang Zhong.) Speaker 1 (14:00-15:00 UTC): Marcel Nutz (Columbia University). Title: Exponential convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm and Hilbert's projective metric for unbounded functions Abstract: Entropic regularization of optimal transport has found numerous applications in various fields recently. A major reason for this surge in applications is the popularization of Sinkhorn's algorithm to efficiently solve the entropic optimal transport problem numerically. This talk studies the (rate of) convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm. In bounded settings, it is known that Sinkhorn's algorithm converges with exponential rate, which is a consequence of applying a commonly used version of Hilbert's metric corresponding to the cone of all non-negative functions. This talk shows how to define versions of Hilbert's metric so that we can show exponential convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm even in unbounded settings. This is done through the use of cones which are relaxations of the cone of all non-negative functions, in the sense that they include all functions having non-negative integral values when multiplied with certain test functions. Along the way, we establish that kernel integral operators are contractions with respect to suitable versions of Hilbert’s metric, even if the kernel functions are not bounded away from zero. Speaker 2 (15:00-16:00 UTC): Stephan Eckstein (ETH Zürich). Zoom-link: https://univienna.zoom.us/j/69978648939?pwd=WllwSmd4bW9EQlZJNlRqdlA3M0I1Zz09 Meeting ID: 699 7864 8939 Passcode: 713222

Bioinference - call for abstract
by Enrico Bibbona 06 Dec '23

06 Dec '23

Invio l’annuncio di una conferenza di cui sono coorganizzatore, chiedendo il piacere di farla circolare tra le persone potenzialmente interesste. Cordiali saluti, Enrico Bibbona BioInference 2024: save the date and call for abstracts The BioInference 2024 conference (https://bioinference.github.io/2024/) is taking place at the University of Warwick on the 5th-7th June 2024, and it will combine a data-driven meeting on day 1 (registration fee: £30) with the main two-day conference on the 6th and 7th June 2024 (registration fee: £70). Launched in 2022, BioInference aims to bring together researchers from across statistics and mathematical modelling who work with biological systems, and from all career stages, to foster discussions between the two communities and to prompt collaborations. The talks from the two previous BioInference conferences are available via our public YouTube channel (youtube.com/@bioinference5299<http://youtube.com/@bioinference5299>). The two-day conference will combine contributed talks and poster sessions. We now invite abstracts for oral/poster presentations on work either relating to statistical methods development (so long as those methods are applicable to biological systems) or on the application of statistical methods to solve biological problems. All presentations will be in-person. Abstracts can be submitted via a Google form (forms.gle/SBawnWD3k8iSS1Vt6<http://forms.gle/SBawnWD3k8iSS1Vt6>) and the deadline is on the 31st January 2024. It is our pleasure to confirm that this year's invited speakers are: · Alex Browning<https://alexbrowning.me/>, University of Oxford · Sarah Filippi<https://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/s.filippi>, Imperial College London · Hong Ge<https://mlg.eng.cam.ac.uk/hong/>, University of Cambridge · Hamid Rahkooy<https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/rahkooy/bio.html>, University of Oxford · Heba Sailem<https://www.hebasailem.com/>, King’s College London · Catalina Vallejos<https://www.ed.ac.uk/mrc-human-genetics-unit/research/vallejos-group>, University of Edinburgh The conference organising committee is committed to ensuring fair participation of individuals across all career stages, genders, races and ethnicities, ages, geographic locations, and universities. Data-driven meeting: problems and methodologies This year, we are also running an optional event on the 5th June at Warwick before the main conference starts. This aims to bring together mathematicians, statisticians and those who possess or generate datasets and would like to analyse them/answer some open questions. These may include biologists, clinicians etc in academia and industry. The idea of this meeting is to think about potential solutions to these data-based problems, gathering interest for possible collaborations between individuals across disciplines, institutions and career stages. The day would consist of a range of presentations by the experimental/business partners in the morning, and focus/discussion groups in the afternoon, aiming to start formulating an action plan to tackle the open challenges. The cost of attending day one is £30 in addition to the registration fee for the main conference.

postdoc position
by Marco Scarsini 05 Dec '23

05 Dec '23

Call for a postdoc position on the topic “A dynamic analysis of supply-chain networks and their disruption” Supply chains are the intricate networks of organizations, people, activities, information, and resources involved in the production and distribution of goods and services. They are vulnerable to disruptions, which can be caused by a wide range of factors and can have profound consequences. Organizations are increasingly aware of the need to build more resilient supply chains. In the face of disruption, supply chain management is a critical function. A supply chain is modeled as a network whose vertices are firms and whose edges represent their interactions. The network evolves dynamically, and may be affected by sudden disruptions. Many of the existing supply-chain models are static and, when dealing with disruptions, compare pre- and post-shock equilibria. In real life, the effects of disruption take time to spread across the network. Understanding this temporal element is fundamental for taking mitigating actions. The main goal of this project is to study dynamic models of supply-chain disruption. The formal analysis of this phenomenon will use tools from network theory, probability theory, game theory, operations management, optimization, dynamical systems, machine learning, data science. We are looking for a candidate who has a strong expertise in at least one of the above fields. Length of the position: 36 months Gross annual salary: € 36.480,57 Application deadline: 2024/01/08, 14:00 CET The list of available postdoc positions in the Department of Economics and Finance can be found here: https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/en/research/post-doc-fellowship/research-… The call can be found here: https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/sites/ef/files/content/Bando%20Assegno%20… The application has to be submitted online here: https://cloudserverjsa.luiss.it/LGCAssegni/index.zul?CDS=AS4209 ******************************************************* Marco Scarsini Dipartimento di Economia e Finanza Luiss University Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma, ITALY
