Two classes of quantile diffusions are identified: the first, which we largely focus on, features a dynamic random quantile level that allows for direct interpretation of the resulting quantile process characteristics such as location, scale, skewness, and kurtosis, in terms of the model parameters. The second type are function--valued quantile diffusions and are driven by stochastic parameter processes, which determine the entire quantile function at each point in time. By the proposed construction method, quantile processes are obtained by transforming the marginals of a diffusion process under a composite map consisting of a distribution and a quantile function. Sub-classes of quantile diffusions are explored, with emphasis placed on the Tukey family of models whereby skewness and kurtosis are directly parameterised and thus the composite map is explicable with respect to such statistical behaviours. As an example of an application of quantile diffusions, we show how probability measure distortions, a form of dynamic tilting, can be induced. Though particularly useful in financial mathematics and actuarial science, examples of which are given in this work, measure distortions feature across multiple research areas. For instance, dynamic distributional approximations (statistics), non-parametric and asymptotic analysis (mathematical statistics), dynamic risk measures (econometrics), behavioural economics, decision making (operations research), signal processing (information theory), and not least in general risk theory including applications thereof.

Seminars in Statistics at Collegio Carlo Alberto - Sahani PATHIRAJA (UNSW SYDNEY) and Quan ZHOU (TEXAS AMU)
by Matteo Giordano 08 Mar '25

08 Mar '25

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/s…> Venerdì 14/03/2025, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente doppio seminario: ------------------------------------------------ 11.00-12.00 Speaker: Sahani PATHIRAJA (UNSW SYDNEY) Title: ON CONNECTIONS BETWEEN SEQUENTIAL BAYESIAN INFERENCE AND EVOLUTIONARY DYNAMICS Abstract: It has long been posited that there is a connection between the dynamical equations describing birth-death & evolutionary processes in biology (so-called ``replicator-mutator’’ dynamics) and sequential Bayesian learning methods. This talk describes new research in which this precise connection is rigorously established in the continuous time setting. Here we focus on a class of interacting particle methods for solving the sequential Bayesian inference problem which are characterised by a McKean-Vlasov Stochastic differential equation. Of particular importance is a piecewise smooth approximation of the observation path from which the discrete time filtering equations are shown to converge to a Stratonovich interpretation of the Kushner equation. This smooth formulation will then be used to draw precise connections between nonlinear filtering and replicator-mutator dynamics. Additionally, gradient flow formulations will be investigated as well as a particular form of replicator-mutator dynamics which is shown to be beneficial for filtering with misspecified models. It is hoped this work will spur further research into exchanges between sequential learning and evolutionary biology and to inspire new algorithms in filtering and sampling. 12.00-13.00 Speaker: Quan ZHOU (TEXAS AMU) Title: GENERATIVE MODELING USING SOFT-CONSTRAINED SCHRODINGER BRIDGE Abstract: Schrodinger bridge can be viewed as a continuous-time stochastic control problem where the goal is to find an optimally controlled diffusion process whose terminal distribution coincides with a pre-specified target distribution. We propose to generalize this problem by allowing the terminal distribution to differ from the target but penalizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the two distributions. We call this new control problem soft-constrained Schrodinger bridge (SSB). The main contribution of this work is a theoretical derivation of the solution to SSB, which shows that the terminal distribution of the optimally controlled process is a geometric mixture of the target and some other distribution. This result is further extended to a time series setting. One application is the development of robust generative diffusion models. We propose a score matching-based algorithm for sampling from geometric mixtures and showcase its use via a numerical example for the MNIST data set. Joint work with J. Garg and X.

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the upcoming StatPhys29 Satellite Conference: "Non-equilibrium statistical physics: mathematical and physical advances", Florence 21-25 July 2025: https://sites.google.com/view/nesp-2025 Research on non-equilibrium statistical physics has been developing rapidly and today represents a theme of growing interest worldwide. Fundamental ideas, methods and techniques have gradually made their way from statistical physics into probability theory and mathematical physics, where they lead to new problems and new solutions. This crossroad has developed into a very active research area over the past 10 years. In the proposed workshop the focus is on common concepts and tools and on the surprising new connections that have become available recently. Key topics that will be addressed at the conference are: (1) Non-equilibrium steady states of classical, quantum, and stochastic systems; (2) KPZ universality; (3) integrable quantum dynamics; (4) hydrodynamic limit and large deviations; (5) anomalous transport. The satellite meeting aims at gathering major experts in these fields, with the goal of exchanging ideas and setting the stage for further progress. Registration Details: This Satellite Conference is open to everybody. There is the possibility of a few contributed talks. • Deadline: April 30, 2025. • Please register via https://sites.google.com/view/nesp-2025 • There is no registration fee. Feel free to share this invitation with anyone who may be interested. Best regards, L. Avena, F. Colomo, C. Giardina', P. Goncalvez, F. Essler, T. Sasamoto, H. Spohn.

This classical approach is nevertheless challenged by empirical data for model validation, especially when the phenomenon of interest does not depend on well established physical laws. In particular the statistical inference of parameters (estimation and testing) requires a underlying stochastic model. This is usullay treated via some addition of noise, sometimes artificially and always a bit arbitrarily. Relying on some specific examples that appear in population biology (cell growth, human demography) or agent-based models in economy, we propose an alternative approach. Starting from a microscopic stochastic model that can be partially observed and for which the PDE of interest is a mean-field limit, the intrinsic statistical noise becomes the fluctuation between the empirical measure of the particle system and the solution of the PDE. We will outline a rigorous statistical program in this setting and will give some results on McKean-Vlasov models that shall emphasise the interest of our approach. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

Fwd: International Seminar on SDEs and Related Topics: Laurent Denis - March14
by Gianmario Tessitore - UNIMIB 06 Mar '25

06 Mar '25

Diffondo con piacere Mario ============================================================================ Dear Colleague, *on Friday, March 14,* (12:30 noon London, 1:30 pm Berlin, 2:30 pm Helsinki, 8:30 pm Beijing) in the *International Seminar on SDEs and Related Topics* in Zoom https://jyufi.zoom.us/j/61891007917 *Laurent Denis* (Université du Maine, France) will speak about */BSDE with singular terminal condition: the continuity up to terminal time problem/ * Abstract: We study the limit behavior of the solution of a backward stochastic differential equation when the terminal condition is singular, that is it can be equal to infinity with a positive probability. In the Markovian setting and in the case where the equation is driven by a Brownian motion, Malliavin's calculus enables us to prove continuity if a balance condition between the growth w.r.t. /y/ and the growth w.r.t. /z/ of the generator is satisfied. We apply our result to liquidity problem in finance and to the solution of some semi-linear partial differential equation ; the imposed assumption is also new in the literature on PDE. Finally, we prove that if there are jumps (i.e. the operator of the PDE is non local), we observe a propagation of the singularity, contrary to the continuous case (local operator). This talk is based on several joint works with D. Cacitti-Holland and A. Popier. References: Cacitti-Holland D., Denis L., Popier A. Continuity problem for BSDE and IPDE with singular terminal condition,/Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications/, Vol. 543, issue 1 (2025). Cacitti-Holland D., Denis L., Popier A. Growth condition on the generator of BSDE with singular terminal value ensuring continuity up to terminal time, to appear in /Stochastic Processes and their Applications/ (2025).

OWPS is back next week!
by Luisa Andreis 05 Mar '25

05 Mar '25

Dear colleagues, We are delighted to announce that the One World Probability Seminar is returning for the Spring 2025 semester with a refreshed schedule! The seminar will be held every other Wednesday at 14:00 UTC. The season will kick off on Wednesday, March 12 at 14:00 UTC via Zoom (link<https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92945513591?pwd=zjtRwpHoO9kRyQuPPj4o186jXrvg1v.1>). We are thrilled to welcome our first two speakers: Shankar Bhamidi (University of North Carolina) and David J. Aldous (UC Berkeley) Please find titles and abstracts of their talks below and on our website<https://www.owprobability.org/about>, which also contains future speakers for the semester. Originally launched during the early days of the pandemic to keep the probability community connected, our seminar has since hosted over 100 research talks from around the globe. It remains open to anyone eager to learn about the latest developments in probability theory. We encourage you to share this announcement as we embark on this new chapter. If you want updates on future OWP seminars, consider joining our mailing list: here<https://www.owprobability.org/mailing-list> the instructions. We look forward to seeing many of you online! Best wishes, Luisa Andreis and Roger Van Peski Aldous’s fringe convergence of random trees and its applications Shankar Bhamidi (UNC Chapel Hill) Local weak convergence starting with the work of Aldous and Benjamini and Schramm has turned out to be one of the standard work horses in modern probabilistic combinatorics, to understand asymptotics of large discrete random structures and dynamics of processes such as random walks on such processes. The goal of this talk is to describe the impact of one of the less well known “OG” (original great) papers in this area: Aldous’s work on fringe convergence of random trees developed in a paper in the mid 90s. This technique, coupled with stochastic approximation techniques allows one to relatively easily prove local weak convergence of a number of modern random tree models proposed by domain scientists, including network evolution with limited choice, network dynamics where new individuals have access to only a partial temporal snapshot of the network and network evolution models where individuals have different attributes. Obscure results and open problems: some of my favorites David J. Aldous (UC Berkeley) These are some problems that I would like some smart young person to work on! (1) What probability distributions on $[0,\infty)$ arise as the distance between two i.i.d. points in some complete separable metric space? (2) Probability distributions on routed planar networks. (3) Combinatorics of fringe trees in a phylogenetic model. (4) Nearest neighbor of nearest neighbor, on the complete network -- Are you smarter than an AI? (5) Find a qualitatively realistic model for a generic subway network. (6) Percolation of empires.

ABS25 (Applied Bayesian Statistics) summer school in Genova, Italy, 3-6/6/2025
by Elisa Varini 05 Mar '25

05 Mar '25

We are pleased to inform you that registration and fee payment are now possible for the next Applied Bayesian Statistics summer school - ABS25 to be held from 3 to 6 June 2025 in the beautiful historic city of Genova, overlooking the Ligurian Sea in Italy. Website: https://abs25.imati.cnr.it/ <https://abs25.imati.cnr.it/> The school is organized by CNR IMATI (Institute of Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies at the Italian National Research Council in Milano), in cooperation with the Department of Mathematics of the University of Genova. The topic will be SPATIO-TEMPORAL METHODS IN ENVIRONMENTAL EPIDEMIOLOGY The lecturer will be Prof. ALEXANDRA SCHMIDT (McGill University, Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health, Canada), with the support of Dr. CARLO ZACCARDI (University G. d'Annunzio Chieti-Pescara, Department of Economics, Italy). As in the past (since 2004), there will be a combination of theoretical and practical sessions, along with presentations by participants about their work (past, current and future) related to the topic of the school. OUTLINE: This course aims to explore the interface between environmental epidemiology (EE) and spatio-temporal modelling (ST). The aim of EE is to understand the adverse health effects of environmental hazards and to estimate the risks associated with those hazards. Such risks have traditionally been assessed either over time at a fixed point in space or over space at a fixed point in time. ST modelling characterizes the distribution of those hazards and associated risks over both geographical locations and time. Understanding variation and exploiting dependencies over both space and time greatly increases the power to assess those relationships. The course will cover a wide range of topics from an introduction to spatio-temporal and epidemiological principles along with the foundations of ST modeling, with specific focus on their application, to new directions for research. Topics to be covered: - Types of epidemiological studies: cohort, case–control, ecological - Measures of risk: relative risks, odds ratios, absolute risk, sources of bias, assessing uncertainty - Bayesian statistics and computational techniques: Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) - Regression models in epidemiology: Logistic and Poisson generalized linear models, hierarchical models - Dynamic linear models, temporal autocorrelation - Spatial models: area and point referenced methods, mapping, geostatistical methods, spatial regression - Spatial-temporal models: separable models, non-separable models, modelling exposures in space and time.

Seminario Matteo Brachetta - Politecnico di Milano - 13 Marzo 2025
by Luca Scarpa 04 Mar '25

04 Mar '25

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Giovedì 13 Marzo 2025, ore 11:45. Aula Seminari VI Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Matteo Brachetta, Università di Genova. Title: Risk measures and optimal reinsurance: finding a connection via BSDEs. Abstract: The aim of this talk is to connect utiility maximization problems and the optimization of dynamic risk measures, which are usually considered as two different branches or approaches to financial problems. A reinsurance contract allows an insurance company to transfer part of the risk to another company, namely the reinsurer, in order to reduce the future losses, which are usually modeled as a marked point process. Finding the optimal reinsurance agreement translates into a stochastic control problem for the insurer. Recently, some authors showed that the optimal value process for the utility maximization problem can be characterized as the solution of a BSDE with jumps. In other works, it is proved that some BSDEs induce dynamic risk measures, which can be financially interpreted as a default time and an associated mark. In this talk we aim to explore the properties of the risk measure induced by the optimal reinsurance policy under dierent risk models with jumps. The talk is based on a work in progress with Fulvia Confortola (Politecnico of Milan).

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Giovedì 13 Marzo 2025, ore 11:00. Aula Seminari VI Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Elena Montanaro, Università La Sapienza. Title: An epidemic model using GW trees and coupon collectors. Abstract: We describe a model for information or viral transmission on the complete graph $\mathbb{K}_n$. Each node is an individual which may be susceptible, infected or recovered. This model has been introduced by Comets et al. with the main goal of studying the asymptotic behavior, as $n$ goes to infinity, of the duration of the infection and of the proportion of infected individuals in the population. The results rely on two interesting stochastic processes: the GW process and the coupon collector process.

Seminario PRISMA lunedì 3 marzo 2025 - G. Cannizzaro & F. Toninelli
by Sonia Mazzucchi 03 Mar '25

03 Mar '25

Buongiorno, ricordiamo che *oggi lunedì 3 marzo dalle 16:30 alle 17:45* si terrà il seminario on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA ( http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium" per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb I relatori di oggi saranno *Giuseppe Cannizzaro* (University of Warwick) e *Fabio Toninelli* (Technical University of Vienna) che parleranno di: Teorema del Limite Centrale superdiffusivo per l'equazione di Burgers stocastica alla dimensione critica. con il seguente orario: 16:30 Primo seminario 17:00 Pausa e discussione 17:15 Secondo seminario 17:45 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/81175434050?pwd=hCozT8gqnlu49Io6LawZWAwLDrnaJ7.1 Meeting ID: 811 7543 4050 Passcode: 871716 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Sonia Mazzucchi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Giuseppe Cannizzaro (University of Warwick) e Fabio Toninelli (Technical University of Vienna) TITOLO: Teorema del Limite Centrale superdiffusivo per l'equazione di Burgers stocastica alla dimensione critica RIASSUNTO: L'equazione di Burgers Stocastica (EBS) è stata introdotta da van Beijren, Kutner and Spohn per modellizzare sistemi diffusivi asimmetrici con una singola quantità conservata (e.g. il modello di esclusione semplice asimmetrico). Nella dimensione sub-critica d=1, EBS coincide con la derivata dell'equazione KPZ il cui comportamento a grandi scale è superdiffusivo con crescita polinomiale e le cui fluttuazioni coincidono con il KPZ Fixed Point, mentre nelle dimensioni super-critiche d>2, è diffusivo e converge a un'equazione del calore stocastica anisotropica. Alla dimensione critica, è stato congetturato che la EBS sia superdiffusiva con crescita logaritmica con un esponente preciso ma ciò è stato mostrato solo modulo correzioni di ordine inferiore. Il presente seminario è basato su un lavoro assieme a Quentin Moulard https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.00344, in cui indentifichiamo la superdiffusività e deriviamo le asintotiche della matrice di diffusione in modo esatto. Inoltre, dimostriamo che nel limite di scala corretto, ovvero che tiene presente della crescita logaritmiche alla diffusività, la soluzione di EBS soddisfa un teorema del limite centrale. Il nostro è il primo limite di scala superdiffusivo per un'equazione alle derivate parziali stocastica critica, al di là dell'ambito di applicabilità della teoria delle strutture di regolarità di Hairer. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Seminario Padova - Marc Hoffman
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 01 Mar '25

01 Mar '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (7 Marzo) in aula 2BC30 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Marc Hoffman (Université Paris-Dauphine) <https://www.ceremade.dauphine.fr/~hoffmann/> https://www.ceremade.dauphine.fr/~hoffmann/ Title: Some questions in mathematical statistics linked to evolution PDEs Date: March 7, 2025, at 14:30, room 2BC30 Abstract: Evolution models in applications are often analysed via PDEs, interpreted as a macroscopic decription of the phenomenon of interest. This classical approach is nevertheless challenged by empirical data for model validation, especially when the phenomenon of interest does not depend on well established physical laws. In particular the statistical inference of parameters (estimation and testing) requires a underlying stochastic model. This is usullay treated via some addition of noise, sometimes artificially and always a bit arbitrarily. Relying on some specific examples that appear in population biology (cell growth, human demography) or agent-based models in economy, we propose an alternative approach. Starting from a microscopic stochastic model that can be partially observed and for which the PDE of interest is a mean-field limit, the intrinsic statistical noise becomes the fluctuation between the empirical measure of the particle system and the solution of the PDE. We will outline a rigorous statistical program in this setting and will give some results on McKean-Vlasov models that shall emphasise the interest of our approach. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

Ait-Sahalia seminar in Verona, 14/3/2025
by Cecilia Mancini 28 Feb '25

28 Feb '25

Professor Yacine Ait-Sahalia will give the seminar So Many Jumps, So Little News At the Department of Economics of the University of Verona, on Friday, March 14, 2025, at noon (12 pm) Via Cantarane 24, Vaona Room, 1st floor It will be possible also to attend on Zoom here https://univr.zoom.us/j/93150650381 All the interested people are warmly invited to attend Abstract This paper relates jumps in high frequency stock prices to firm-level, industry and macroeconomic news, in the form of machine-readable releases from Thomson Reuters News Analytics. We find that most relevant news, both idiosyncratic and systematic, lead quickly to price jumps, as market efficiency suggests they should. However, in the reverse direction, the vast majority of price jumps do not have identifiable public news that can explain them, in a departure from the ideal of a fair, orderly and efficient market. We show that jumps without news do not correlate with observable proxies for asymmetric or private information, and that microstructure-driven variables have only limited power to help predict the occurrence of jumps without news.

Seminar Brunero Liseo @Luiss
by Alessia Caponera 28 Feb '25

28 Feb '25

Dear all, The Department of Economics and Finance at Luiss University in Rome (*https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it <https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/>*) is pleased to announce the following seminar: *Speaker*: Brunero Liseo, Sapienza University of Rome *Title*: A Multivariate Copula-Based Conformal Bayesian Framework for Doping Detection *When*: March 6th, 14:30 *Where*: Viale Romania, 32 00197 Rome *Meeting room*: 405 *Abstract*: Doping control is an essential component of anti-doping organizations for protecting sports competitions. Since 2009, this mission has been complemented worldwide by the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP), which monitors athletes’ profiles over time. The practical implementation of the ABP is based on a Bayesian framework, called ADAPTIVE, intended to identify individual reference ranges outside of which an observation may indicate doping abuse. Currently, this method follows a univariate approach, relying on simultaneous analysis of different markers. This work extends the ADAPTIVE method to a multivariate testing framework, making use of copula models to couple the marginal distribution of biomarkers with their dependence structure. After introducing the proposed copula-based hierarchical model, we discuss our approach to inference, grounded in a Bayesian spirit, and present an extension to multidimensional predictive reference regions. We guarantee exact coverage of the regions through the use of a conformal prediction approach. Focusing on the hematological module of the ABP, we evaluate the proposed framework in both data-driven simulations and real data. Based on joint work with Nina Deliu. *Webpage*: https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/research-seminar/a-multivariate-copula-ba… *Should you be interested, please kindly send me an e-mail.* Best wishes, Alessia Caponera

seminar Irene Gijbels @ CNR Naples
by Daniela De Canditiis 27 Feb '25

27 Feb '25

Cari tutti per il ciclo *"Seminari Generali IAC 2025"* *martedì 4 marzo 2025 *alle ore *14:30* Irène Gijbels, Department of Mathematics, University of Leuven (KU Leuven), Belgium, terrà il seminario: *Measures of asymmetry for multivariate distributions* *Abstract* - In univariate settings the notion of measuring skewness of a distribution is well established. Extending this to measuring skewness (or asymmetry) in a multivariate setting is less obvious. In this talk we start by briefly reviewing some notions of asymmetry measures. We next propose a novel functional asymmetry measure (index) which is based on the natural idea of reflective symmetry around the mode. The proposed index is extended to the multivariate setting and a summarizing scalar (or vector based index in multivariate settings) is derived from it. Some illustrative examples are provided, and estimation of the proposed asymmetry index is discussed in parametric and nonparametric (multivariate) settings. Il seminario si svolgerà presso la sede *CNR-IAC di Napoli*, *sala conferenze “Vaccaro”*, in modalità mista: in presenza e in streaming al link *https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEPimm1_aww <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEPimm1_aww>* Si ricorda che i seminari del ciclo si terranno di *martedì alle 14:30*, *a settimane alterne*, *salvo eccezioni* a partire da martedì 14 gennaio 2025. *Qui la pagina web dei seminari*: *https://www.iac.cnr.it/seminari-generali-iac-2025* <https://www.iac.cnr.it/seminari-generali-iac-2025> *VI ASPETTIAMO!* (organizzatori: Nicola Apollonio, Roberta Bianchini, Claudia Capone, Giuliana Ramella) -- Daniela De Canditiis, PhD Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo "M.Picone" (CNR) via dei Taurini, 19 -- 00185 Roma, Italy tel: +39 06 49937342 fax: +39 06 4404306 https://www.iac.cnr.it/personale/daniela-de-canditiis

QFinLab Seminar - Katia Colaneri (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) - 5/3/2025, 12:00 @ Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandro Calvia 26 Feb '25

26 Feb '25

Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Wednesday, 5 March 2025, 12.00-13.00 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus) Katia Colaneri (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) Title: Expect the worst! Optimal emission abatement under tax policy uncertainty and stochastic differential games. Abstract: We study the problem of a profit maximizing electricity producer who has to pay carbon taxes and who decides on investments into technologies for the abatement of CO emissions in an environment where carbon tax policy is random and where the investment in the abatement technology is divisible, irreversible and subject to transaction costs. We consider two approaches for modelling the randomness in taxes. First we assume a precise probabilistic model for the tax process, namely a pure jump Markov process (so-called tax risk); this leads to a stochastic control problem for the investment strategy. Second, we analyze the case of an uncertainty-averse producer who uses a differential game to decide on optimal production and investment. We carry out a rigorous mathematical analysis of the producer's optimization problem and of the associated nonlinear PDEs in both cases. Numerical methods are used to study quantitative properties of the optimal investment strategy. We find that in the tax risk case the investment in abatement technologies is typically lower than in a benchmark scenario with deterministic taxes. However, there are a couple of interesting new twists related to production technology, divisibility of the investment, tax rebates and investor expectations. In the stochastic differential game on the other hand an increase in uncertainty might stipulate more investment. Next seminar: Claudio Fontana (Università di Padova), 2 April 12.00. All news can be found on the QFinLab webpage<https://www.qfinlab.polimi.it/seminars-and-meetings/>. The organizers: Michele Azzone and Alessandro Calvia

Special issue of "Mathematical Finance" on "Climate and Nature Risk in Mathematical Finance" (fwd)
by Tiziano Vargiolu 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

Apologies for cross-postings. ----------------------- Special Issue on Climate and Nature Risk in Mathematical Finance Guest Editors: Andrea Macrina & Peter Tankov New extended deadline for submissions: 30 April 2025 The urgency and complexity of the climate crisis call for contributions from many scientific domains. In finance, modelling challenges posed by the environmental transition and by the climate change and nature-related risks call for inter- and transdisciplinary approaches, based on a multitude of data sources and long-term projections taking into account deep uncertainty. The mathematical finance community, which has developed robust systematic approaches to financial modelling and risk management, is well placed to address these challenges and has already made numerous quantitative contributions to the field of green finance. Mathematical Finance will dedicate a Special Issue to Mathematical Finance for Climate and Nature to further emphasise this area of research. Submissions to the Special Issue should develop and apply novel mathematical and statistical methods to financial and economic problems arising in the field of green finance and meet the editorial standards of Mathematical Finance as detailed in the aims and scope statement of the journal. Submissions with a policy or industry perspective are encouraged. We invite in particular the submission of original research articles on the following topics: * Assessment of climate and nature-related risks and uncertainties in financial systems; climate stress testing. * Study of transmission channels of physical risks, transition risk and nature-related risks to asset prices, portfolios and the stability of the financial system. * Optimal policies and incentives for environmental transition and adaptation of the economy, from the central planner perspective and in decentralised systems. * Optimal design and study of financial and insurance products, including derivative products, for managing climate and nature-related risks and for financing the environmental transition and adaptation. * Design and study of transition scenarios; quantification of scenario uncertainty * Net zero investment: quantitative methodologies for constructing net-zero-aligned portfolios and portfolios with positive impact on nature and biodiversity. * Study of innovative datasets and numerical methods, including AI-based methods, in support of the above topics. * Design of medium and long-term risk management methods accounting for potential policy changes and systemic alterations of market structures and stability. * Impact of climate and nature risks on emerging markets and developing economies. Please submit your contributions through the journal’s web submission portal before 30 April 2025. Please indicate in your submission that it is intended for the ‘Special Issue on Climate and Nature Risk in Mathematical Finance’. All submissions will undergo the usual review process for the journal. -- Peter Tankov Professor of quantitative finance, ENSAE, IP Paris Phone: +33 1 70 26 68 73 Email: peter.tankov(a)ensae.fr https://sites.google.com/site/petertankov https://www.parc-research.org/ https://pladifes.institutlouisbachelier.org/

Seminar Ziyi Song @ Unimib
by Federico Camerlenghi 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

Dear all, we are glad to announce the next DEMS seminar in Statistics: *Wednesday, 5th March 2025* *Time 12.00*, Seminar room 2104, Department of Economics, Management and Statistics (DEMS) Building U7, second floor, University of Milano - Bicocca The speaker is Ziyi Song (University of California, Irvine). *TITLE:* Clustering computer-mouse tracking data with informed hierarchical shrinkage partition priors *ABSTRACT:* Mouse-tracking data, which record computer mouse trajectories while participants perform an experimental task, provide valuable insights into subjects’ underlying cognitive processes. Neuroscientists are interested in clustering the subjects’ responses during computer mouse-tracking tasks to reveal patterns of individual decision-making behaviors and identify population subgroups with similar neurobehavioral responses.These data can be combined with neuroimaging data to provide additional information for personalized interventions. In this article, we develop a novel hierarchical shrinkage partition (HSP) prior for clustering summary statistics derived from the trajectories of mouse-tracking data. The HSP model defines a subjects’ cluster as a set of subjects that gives rise to more similar (rather than identical) nested partitions of the conditions. The proposed model can incorporate prior information about the partitioning of either subjects or conditions to facilitate clustering, and it allows for deviations of the nested partitions within each subject group. These features distinguish the HSP model from other bi-clustering methods that typically create identical nested partitions of conditions within a subject group. Furthermore, it differs from existing nested clustering methods, which define clusters based on common parameters in the sampling model and identify subject groups by different distributions. We illustrate the unique features of the HSP model on a mouse tracking dataset from a pilot study and in simulation studies. Our results show the ability and effectiveness of the proposed exploratory framework in clustering and revealing possible different behavioral patterns across subject groups. The paper has been published on Biometrics. <https://academic.oup.com/biometrics/article/80/4/ujae124/7850951?login=true> Best wishes, Federico Camerlenghi

Abstract: Simulation-based inference (SBI) is the preferred framework for estimating parameters of intractable models in science and engineering. A significant challenge in this context is the large computational cost of simulating data from complex models, and the fact that this cost often depends on parameter values. We therefore propose cost-aware SBI methods which can significantly reduce the cost of existing sampling-based SBI methods, such as neural SBI and approximate Bayesian computation. This is achieved through a combination of rejection and self-normalised importance sampling, which significantly reduces the number of expensive simulations needed. Our approach is studied extensively on models from epidemiology to telecommunications engineering, where we obtain significant reductions in the overall cost of inference. Keywords: simulation-based inference, approximate Bayesian computation, neural posterior estimation, neural likelihood estimation, importance sampling Best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the OWABI Organisers ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Reader and WIHEA Fellow Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino

[CfP] - International Workshop on Trustworthiness and Reliability in Neurosymbolic AI - IJCNN2025
by Lorenzo Di Rocco 21 Feb '25

21 Feb '25

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Call for Papers - International Workshop on Trustworthiness and Reliability in Neurosymbolic AI @ IJCNN2025 July 5th, 2025, Rome, Italy https://sites.google.com/view/trns-ai ABOUT Neurosymbolic AI is a new growing trend that has been able to merge the recent advances in AI through deep learning with logic and rule-based methods. The application of neurosymbolic AI seems to be spreading across many contexts, from image classification to Visual Question Answering. It has an expressive and semantic power that is not usually provided by classical deep learning. In addition, it has great potential in explainability, due to the logic-based methodologies that are a strong component of this context. These capabilities are only a starting point in XAI, they need to be explored in detail to facilitate the interpretability of whole models, in any part of them and not only in terms of the natural relationships that can be discovered. This workshop will focus on two main aspects: 1. Gives the possibility to extend the exploration of the explainability in multiple contexts, developing and adapting techniques that can be useful to relate classical deep learning approaches to their symbolic extensions. 2. Opens to the possibility to extend the understanding of neurosymbolic models to deep aspects of AI. These two concepts lead to the trustworthiness and reliability of the new trend of Neurosymbolic AI, increasing the confidence of end-users in choosing and believing in these methodologies for computer-aided applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Soft Computing methodologies * Symbolic and Neurosymbolic AI * Logic and Rule-based methods * AI methods for explainability, interpretrability and reliability * Resilient AI models * From wide to task-specific methodologies * Machine Learning and Deep Learning based AI methodologies * Data-driven decision-making * Multimodal Learning strategies * Scalability and optimization of intelligent systems * Generative AI and applications GREAT EVENT! XAI CHALLENGE FOR PASSIONATE! The workshop is growing fast and organizers are happy to announce that a challenge has been launched for all passionate students and researchers!

Ph.D. Mini-Course@Sapienza | An introduction to changepoint detection
by Pierpaolo Brutti 21 Feb '25

21 Feb '25

Dear all, apologies for cross-posting. Quick note on an upcoming PhD course course on multiple changepoint analysis that will take place next week @Sapienza-DIAG (Rome, Via Ariosto 25). Here's the details: *Schedule*: 1. 24 Feb: 10:00-12:00 | Aula B203 @ DIAG 24 Feb: 13:45-17:00 | Aula B101 @ DIAG 2. 25 Feb: 9:30-12:00 | Aula B203 @ DIAG 25 Feb: 13:45-17:00 | Aula B203 @ DIAG 3. 26 Feb: 9:30-12:00 | Aula B203 @ DIAG 26 Feb: 13:45-17:00 | Aula B203 @ DIAG 4. 27 Feb: 9:30-11:30 | Aula B203 @ DIAG *Zoom links*: - AM: https://inrae-fr.zoom.us/j/96946255684?pwd=Gm04CV5Dw8AZ2bdcRbHHreG9hHaakH.1 - PM: https://inrae-fr.zoom.us/j/92052483887?pwd=4tuFd0TS6HAxIgYLMRmIkaYPm55LgF.1 *Abstract* In recent years, there has been a proliferation of methods for detecting changepoints (also known as breakpoints or structural breaks) in data streams. This surge has been driven by the wide range of applications where changepoint methods are needed, including genomics, neuroscience, climate science, finance, and econometrics, among others. This course serves as an introduction to multiple changepoint detection methods. This course will first address the simpler task of detecting a single changepoint in the mean of a univariate data stream. This is crucial for understanding several state-of-the-art approaches designed for detecting multiple changepoints. Subsequently, we will delve into the fundamentals of two classical approaches for multiple changepoint detection: (1) binary segmentation and (2) dynamic programming. We will review their statistical and computational properties and explain some of their recent improvements. We will illustrate the application of these approaches to genomic datasets using the Python/R programming language. *Additional teacher* Arnaud Liehrmann *Short-bio * Guillem Rigaill is a senior researcher (aka DR) at INRAE in France. He is a member of the GNet Team at the Institute of Plant Sciences Paris-Saclay and the Stat & Genome team at the Laboratoire de Mathématiques et Modélisation d'Évry. He received his PhD from AgroParisTech in 2010 for the development of algorithms and statistical methods for the analysis of breast cancer data. His research interests focus on developing efficient algorithms and appropriate statistical methodologies for analyzing high-dimensional genomic and transcriptomic data. He has been developing new models for changepoint detection and proposed inference procedures for these models that are both statistically and algorithmically efficient. He has applied those new tools in many interdisciplinary projects involving cancer and plant biologists, bioinformaticians, and statisticians. Data Science PhD Program
