SPASS seminar: Claudio Macci
by Andrea Agazzi 25 Oct '24

25 Oct '24

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi (abstract below): *Large and moderate deviations for Gaussian neural network* by *Claudio Macci* (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) The seminar will take place on *TUE, 29.10.2024* at *14:00 CET *in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI 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 <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass&source…> -------------------------------------------- *Title: Large and moderate deviations for Gaussian neural network* *Abstract: We prove large and moderate deviations for the output of Gaussian fully connected neural networks. The main achievements concern deep neural networks (i.e., when the model has more than one hidden layer) and hold for bounded and continuous pre-activation functions. However, for deep neural networks fed by a single input, we have results even if the pre-activation is ReLU. When the network is shallow (i.e., there is exactly one hidden layer) the large and moderate principles hold for quite general pre-activations and in an infinite-dimensional setting.Joint work with Barbara Pacchiarotti (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) and Giovanni Luca Torrisi (IAC-CNR).*

OWABC evolves into OWABI - Kick off talk October 31st
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 23 Oct '24

23 Oct '24

Dear all, After 5 Seasons of the One World Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) Seminar<https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/news/upcoming-seminars/abcworldsem…>, launched in April 2020 to gather members and disseminate results and innovation during those weeks and months under lockdown, we have now decided to launch a "new" seminar series, the One World Approximate Bayesian Inference (OWABI) Seminar<https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/news/upcoming-seminars/abcworldsem…>, to better reflect the broader interest and scope of this series, which goes beyond ABC. In particular, simulation-based inference and ML related techniques will play a crucial role. We are also please to announce that Stefan Radev<https://faculty.rpi.edu/stefan-radev> <https://faculty.rpi.edu/stefan-radev> has joined the OWABI Organiser Team. The 1st OWABI talk will be given by Ullrich Koethe<https://hci.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/vislearn/people/ullrich-koethe/> (University of Heidelberg), who will talk about "Free-form flows for physics-informed generative modeling" on Thursday the 31st October at 11am UK time. Abstract: The talk first introduces a useful categorization of the (sometimes confusing) "generative model zoo" in terms of different change-of-variables formulas. It then shows how normalizing flows, a major architecture for generative neural networks, can be used for simulation-based Bayesian inference in the sciences. Finally, it proposes free-form flows to simplify the incorporation of physical prior knowledge, e.g. rotation and translation invariance or the restriction of the distribution to a manifold, into generative models. Keywords: normalizing flows; physical-informed neural networks; simulation-based inference The talk will be streamed on MS Teams: Join the meeting now<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3adhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KSh…> Meeting ID: 394 858 339 716 Passcode: qLKarj We are looking forward to seeing you all, best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the OWABI Organisers ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Reader (Associate Professor) and WIHEA Fellow Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino

Fwd: [dynlist] Mini-course Prof. Michael Yampolsky (first lecture)
by Stefano Marmi 22 Oct '24

22 Oct '24

Dear all, a gentle reminder of the mini-course by Michael Yampolsky. It will be also possible to follow the lectures remotely at the link given in the message below. Kind regards Stefano Marmi Dear all, In the next few weeks Prof. Michael Yampolsky (University of Toronto Mississauga) will give a series of 4 lectures on*“Computability and Computational Complexity Questions in Dynamics”* at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa. The lectures will take place on Thursdays October 24 and 31 and November 7 and 14, at* 4:30* pm in* Aula Volterra*, Piazza dei Cavalieri 7 and will be streamed online. Please find below the title and abstract of the first lecture (Thursday October 24) and the relative zoom link. *October 24:* *Computability and computational complexity in dynamics: can we trust numerical predictions of limiting behavior of orbits?* The development of the modern subject of dynamical systems went hand-in-hand with numerical modeling. However, the theoretical basis of such modeling has remained largely unexplored and offers exciting challenges. What can and cannot be computed about the behavior of a dynamical system? I will give an overview of some of the recent results and directions of study. *Zoom link* : https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87207701292?pwd=cS85dXl0WC9udDhJNmkrd3FQVDJhdz09 Below you can find titles and abstracts of the next lectures. *October 31:* *Don’t believe your lying eyes: (non)-computability of Julia sets.* The talk will be a deep dive into the question of computability and computational complexity of Julia sets. Their fractal images are among the most-computed pictures in all of mathematics. But can we trust what these computations show? The results are surprising, and involve some beautiful complex analysis. The talk will be based on my work with M. Braverman, as well as more recent results obtained with A. Dudko, C. Rojas, and others. *November 7:* *How to lose at Monte Carlo: computing statistical behavior of dynamical systems.* Introduced by Ulam and von Neumann in the 1940s, Monte Carlo technique remains the most ubiquitous tool for statistical modeling. Surprisingly, our recent work with C. Rojas shows that such modeling probably fails for some very simple dynamical systems. I will present this theorem and discuss the resulting mathematical challenges. *November 14:* *Thurston versus Turing: algorithmic hardness of classifying finite dynamical systems.* Historically, the algorithmic aspects of classification problems have motivated much of the research in geometric topology (knot theory, classification of surfaces and 3-manifolds, etc). These questions are also very fruitful in dynamics. I will discuss the joint results with N. Selinger, K. Rafi and others on algorithmic decidability of Thurston equivalence and the connection with geometrization questions in dynamics.

Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass&source…> -------------------------------------------- *Stationary distribution of node2vec random walks on household models* *Abstract: node2vec random walks are tuneable random walks that come from the popular computer science algorithm node2vec which is used for feature learning on networks. The transition probabilities of the random walks depend on the previous visited node and on the triangles that contain the current and the previous node. Even though the algorithm is very popular in the field of computer science, mathematical properties of the random walks almost have not been explored. We will present results on the stationary distribution of these random walks on household models and compare it with the simple random walk.*

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Martedi 22 Ottobre 2024, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ *12.00-13.00* Speaker: Beatrice Acciaio (ETH Zurich) Title: *Stretched Brownian Motion and Bass local-volatility model* Abstract: The concept of stretched Brownian motion (SBM) has been introduced by Backhoff-Veraguas et al (2020) as the unique solution to a dynamic formulation of the martingale transport problem. The name originates from the characteristic of mimicking as closely as possible the movement of a Brownian particle, while fitting the prescribed marginals. Conze and Henry-Labordere (2021) suggested a fixed-point iteration scheme for the computation of the SBM. In this talk I will review fundamental results for the SMB and provide convergence results of the fixed-point iteration. This constitutes the building block for the computation of the Bass local volatility model, which is a Markov model perfectly calibrated to vanilla options for finite maturities, and an approximation of the Dupire local volatility model. [Based on a joint work with A. Marini and G. Pammer.] ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire entrambi i seminari anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85297679121?pwd=LBx0D9qCgMil8TYPZzR6bXKyAleCgR.1> I seminari sono organizzati 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/>

Buongiorno, ricevo e con piacere inoltro. Saluti Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Inhomegenous Random <inter(a)math.cnrs.fr> Date: Sun, 20 Oct 2024 at 16:29 Subject: January 28-29 IRS 2025 Conference Announcement To: <faggiona(a)mat.uniroma1.it> Dear Colleagues, This is the first announcement for the two-day conference on: INHOMOGENEOUS RANDOM SYSTEMS which will be held on Tuesday 28 and Wednesday 29 January 2025 at Institut Henri Poincaré, Paris. You will find in attachment a PDF file of the announcement with the same informations as below which you may print and post up. Looking forward to meeting you in Paris, Christian Maes, Kirone Mallick, Ellen Saada. --------------------------------------------------------------------- INHOMOGENEOUS RANDOM SYSTEMS Systemes Aleatoires Inhomogenes January 28-29, 2025 Institut Henri Poincaré 11-13, rue Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris The aim of this annual workshop is to bring together mathematicians and physicists working on disordered or random systems, and to discuss recent developments on themes of common interest. Each of the two days is devoted to a specific topic; the 2025 session is planned as follows. Tuesday 28 January: SPIN GLASSES AND RELATED TOPICS. Moderator: Jean-Christophe Mourrat (Lyon). Spin glasses are models of statistical mechanics characterized by disordered interactions and complex energy landscapes. They serve as fundamental examples of complex systems, providing insights into various scientific fields. This event will bring together different perspectives from mathematics, physics, and computer science, showcasing recent developments and promising research directions. Speakers: Leticia Cugliandolo (Paris), Brice Huang (Boston), Antoine Maillard (Paris), Remi Monasson (Paris), Guilhem Semerjian (Paris), Eliran Subag (Rehovot), Pierfrancesco Urbani (Saclay). Wednesday 29 January: ERGODICITY-BREAKING PHENOMENA IN QUANTUM MECHANICS. Moderator: Wojciech De Roeck (Leuven) Experimental marvels like cold atoms are allowing us to probe many-body Hamiltonian dynamics in a very detailed way, bringing into focus questions that might have seemed almost philosophical in earlier decades. One of the surprises from these experiments is that such systems often fail to thermalize. Phenomena like `localization', `quantum scars' and various types of glassy behaviour are ubiquitous in these simple quantum systems, whereas they do not seem so common in condensed matter platforms. This day brings together several specialists from this field. Speakers: Marin Bukov (Dresden), François Huveneers (London), Andrea De Luca (Cergy), David Luitz (Bonn), Markus Mueller (Vienna), Silvia Pappalardi (Koeln), Simone Warzel (Muenchen). --------------------- The conference is free and open to all.

A long-short strategy that sorts firms based on spatial exposure earns a market- adjusted alpha of 39 basis points per month. The metric is related to aggregate decreases in firm profitability, with asymmetric effects across industries. These outcomes are driven by reductions in consumer demand and labor productivity coupled with changes in investor and media attention. The geographically scalable statistical framework provides a reference for assessing the quantitative effects of physical climate risks, offering a metric for improving the disclosure of material climate risks. *Online participation* link: https://luiss.webex.com/luiss/j.php?MTID=mb1bba82226a8ed98cee062b608143886 user: w_guest(a)luiss.it pw: iWM6dnD4k0Q *Ciao, Sara* La presente e-mail proviene da Luiss Guido Carli e s'intende inviata per scopi lavorativi.

Seminario Padova - Andrea Bovo
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 11 Oct '24

11 Oct '24

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (18 Ottobre) alle ore 14:30 in aula 2BC30 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Andrea Bovo (Università di Torino) https://sites.google.com/view/andreabovo Title: An overview on recent results on Stopper vs. Singular-controller games Date: October 18, 2024, at 14:30, 2BC30 Abstract: We study various formulations of zero-sum games between a singular-controller and a stopper over finite-time horizon in which the underlying process is a multi-dimensional controlled stochastic differential equation evolving in an unbounded domain. We prove that such games admit a value and provide an optimal strategy for the stopper. In some cases we show that the value of the game is the maximal solution, in a suitable Sobolev class, of a variational inequality of min-max type with obstacle constraint and gradient constraint. Under stricter assumptions, we provide an optimal strategy for the controller and we obtain a connection between the space derivative of the value function and the solution of an optimal stopping problem with absorption. Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin Sito web del seminario: https://www.math.unipd.it/~chiarini/seminars/

Seminar Alessandra Bianchi at Tor Vergata 16.10
by Michele Salvi 09 Oct '24

09 Oct '24

Dear all, On Wednesday, October 16th, at 14h00 in Aula D'Antoni of Tor Vergata Math Department, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php) will host Alessandra Bianchi (University of Padova) with the seminar "Mixing cutoff for simple random walks on the Chung-Lu directed graph” Abstract: In this talk, we consider a simple random walk defined on a Chung-Lu directed graph, an inhomogeneous random network that extends the Erdos Renyi random digraph by including edges independently according to given Bernoulli laws. In this non-reversible setting, we will focus on the convergence toward the equilibrium of the dynamics. In particular, under the assumption that the average degree grows logarithmically in the size n of the graph (weakly dense regime), we will establish a cutoff phenomenon at the entropic time of order log(n)/loglog(n). We will then show that on a precise window the cutoff profile converges to the Gaussian tail function. This is qualitatively similar to what was proved in a series of works by Bordenave, Caputo, Salez for the directed configuration model, where degrees are deterministically fixed. In terms of statistical ensembles, this analysis provides an extension of these cutoff results from a hard to a soft-constrained model. Joint work with G. Passuello. We encourage in-person partecipation.

Seminario di Bertram Duering in Sapienza
by Enrico Scalas 08 Oct '24

08 Oct '24

Car* collegh*, Il 19 novembre 2024, in aula 24 del Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, Sapienza, Università di Roma, alle ore 14, il Prof. Bertram Düring della University of Warwick, Mathematics Institute terrà un seminario dal titolo From interacting agents to emerging patterns in economics and sociology Riassunto: Real-world systems in economics and sociology often consist of a large number of interacting agents that may form patterns or develop a collective behaviour. Typical applications include wealth and income distribution in an economy and opinion formation in a society. Mathematical techniques originating from statistical mechanics can be successfully developed further to model such systems and obtain mesoscopic and macroscopic descriptions of the microscopic dynamics. Such approaches frequently lead to generalisations of the classical Boltzmann equation for gas dynamics and associated limit partial differential equations. In this talk I will discuss different kinetic models for wealth distribution and opinion formation, and present analytical and numerical results. Tutte le persone interessate sono invitate a partecipare. Chi fosse interessato a partecipare a distanza, per favore, mi scriva a: enrico.scalas(a)uniroma1.it Cordiali saluti, Enrico Scalas

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) Ricordiamo che oggi, martedì 8 ottobre 2024, Giovanni Conforti (Università di Padova) e Giacomo Greco (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) parleranno di Una passeggiata sui ponti di Schrödinger: dalla meccanica statistica all’algoritmo di Sinkhorn con il seguente orario: 16:00 Primo seminario 16:30 Pausa e discussione 16:45 Secondo seminario 17:15 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/88679569146 Meeting ID: 886 7956 9146 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Giovanni Conforti (Università di Padova) e Giacomo Greco (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) TITOLO: Una passeggiata sui ponti di Schrödinger: dalla meccanica statistica all’algoritmo di Sinkhorn. RIASSUNTO: Nel 1931, E.Schrödinger si interessò al problema di calcolare l’evoluzione più probabile di una nube di particelle Browniane indipendenti condizionatamente all’osservazione della loro configurazione agli istanti iniziale e finale. In linguaggio moderno, questo problema, detto problema di Schrödinger, viene formulato rigorosamente attraverso la teoria delle grandi deviazioni come un problema di minimizzazione entropica con vincoli marginali. Molti anni dopo, T.Mikami scoprì che il problema di Schrödinger converge verso il problema del trasporto ottimo, detto di Monge-Kantorovich, nel limite di rumore piccolo. Questo collegamento, che permette di vedere il problema di trasporto entropico come una regolarizzazione del problema deterministico, è stato largamente sfruttato negli ultimi anni nel contesto dello statistical machine learning. Il motivo principale di questo interesse è che il problema del trasporto entropico si può risolvere con un algoritmo veloce e di facile implementazione, l’algoritmo Sinkhorn. Tale algoritmo, introdotto negli anni '60, richiede solamente alcune semplici operazioni tra matrici, come la moltiplicazione componente per componente: in particolare, non è necessaria alcuna inversione di matrice. Dal punto di vista teorico, l’attrattiva principale risiede nella convergenza esponenziale nel numero di iterazioni. Tuttavia, la comprensione di questo fenomeno è ancora incompleta, per esempio nel caso base del costo quadratico, e più in generale per problemi di trasporto con costi non limitati e marginali a supporto non compatto. Anche per misure discrete, ci sono ancora numerose questioni aperte, per esempio riguardo alla dipendenza del tasso di convergenza dal parametro di regolarizzazione. L’obiettivo della prima parte di questo seminario è di introdurre il problema di Schrödinger come problema di meccanica statistica, esporre il collegamento con il problema di Monge Kantorovich, e introdurre l’algoritmo di Sinkhorn. Nella seconda parte il seminario si concentrerà sul problema della convergenza esponenziale, offrendo una panoramica su risultati più o meno recenti e le diverse tecniche di dimostrazione, e presentando alcune domande aperte. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 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.

mini-course on "Computability and Computational Complexity Questions in Dynamics"
by Stefano Marmi 07 Oct '24

07 Oct '24

Prof. Michael Yampolsky (University of Toronto) will give a series of 4 lectures on "Computability and Computational Complexity Questions in Dynamics" at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa. The lectures will take place on Thursday October 24 and 31 and November 7 and 14, at 2:30 pm in Aula Volterra, in Piazza dei Cavalieri 7. The titles and abstracts of each of the 4 lectures are given below. Please contact me if you have any questions. Stefano Marmi stefano.marmi(a)sns.it 1) October 24: Computability and computational complexity in dynamics: can we trust numerical predictions of limiting behavior of orbits? The development of the modern subject of dynamical systems went hand-in-hand with numerical modeling. However, the theoretical basis of such modeling has remained largely unexplored and offers exciting challenges. What can and cannot be computed about the behavior of a dynamical system? I will give an overview of some of the recent results and directions of study. 2) October 31: Don’t believe your lying eyes: (non)-computability of Julia sets The talk will be a deep dive into the question of computability and computational complexity of Julia sets. Their fractal images are among the most-computed pictures in all of mathematics. But can we trust what these computations show? The results are surprising, and involve some beautiful complex analysis. The talk will be based on my work with M. Braverman, as well as more recent results obtained with A. Dudko, C. Rojas, and others. 3) November 7: How to lose at Monte Carlo: computing statistical behavior of dynamical systems Introduced by Ulam and von Neumann in the 1940s, Monte Carlo technique remains the most ubiquitous tool for statistical modeling. Surprisingly, our recent work with C. Rojas shows that such modeling provably fails for some very simple dynamical systems. I will present this theorem and discuss the resulting mathematical challenges. 4) November 14: Thurston versus Turing: algorithmic hardness of classifying finite dynamical systems Historically, the algorithmic aspects of classification problems have motivated much of the research in geometric topology (knot theory, classification of surfaces and 3-manifolds, etc). These questions are also very fruitful in dynamics. I will discuss the joint results with N. Selinger, K. Rafi and others on algorithmic decidability of Thurston equivalence and the connection with geometrization questions in dynamics.

First Lucia Workshop on Fractional Calculus and Processes in Växjö, Sweden
by Lorenzo CRISTOFARO 03 Oct '24

03 Oct '24

Dear colleagues, The Lucia celebration on December 13 is one of the most important Swedish traditions. Processions of white-clad Lucias and their followers bear candles and sing songs to bring light in the Scandinavian winter. Saffron buns and mulled wine (glögg) are also part of the celebration. From December 9-December 13, 2024 we will organize the First Lucia Workshop on Fractional Calculus and Processes at the Linnæus University in Växjö, Sweden. Please visit the conference webpage for more information: https://lnu.se/en/meet-linnaeus-university/current/events/2024/lufcap2024/ The main goal of the workshop is to bring together the best specialists in various fields of fractionality and fractality. The results of the workshop will be published in a special issue of MSTA. If you are inclined to participate it would be great if you can let us know until October 15. Please indicate if you want to contribute a talk (email to (wolfgang.bock(a)lnu.se<mailto:wolfgang.bock@lnu.se>)). The participation of the workshop will be free of charge. Though some funding is available and we are working hard to acquire more it would be very helpful for our planing if you could indicate whether you would be needing some support from our side. We can of course not guarantee a travel support at the moment. With warm regards, Wolfgang Bock, Chirstian Engström, Elmira Nabizadeh and Yuliya Mishura

Seminario Dieter Mitsche, Martedì 8 Ottobre, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Silvestri, Vittoria 02 Oct '24

02 Oct '24

Segnalo il seguente seminario, che si terrà Martedì prossimo in Sapienza. *Martedì 8 Ottobre, ore 14:00* Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker:* Dieter Mitsche (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile) *Title: *Component sizes in spatial random graphs *Abstract:* We consider a large class of spatially-embedded random graphs that includes among others long-range percolation, continuum scale-free percolation and the age-dependent random connection model. We assume that the parameters are such that there is an infinite component. We identify the stretch-exponent $\zeta$ of the subexponential decay of the cluster-size distribution. That is, with $|\CC(0)|$ denoting the number of vertices in the component of the vertex at $0\in \R^d$, we prove $ P (k\le |\CC(0)|<\infty)=\exp\big(-\Theta(k^{\zeta})\big), $ as $k$ tends to infinity. The value of $\zeta$ undergoes several phase transitions with respect to three main model parameters: the Euclidean dimension $d$, the power-law tail exponent $\tau$ of the degree distribution and a long-range parameter $\alpha$ governing the presence of long edges in Euclidean space. Joint work with Joost Jorritsma and Julia Komjáthy. ******************************** Vittoria Silvestri Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome ********************************

Seminar Andriy Olenko at Tor Vergata 09.10
by Michele Salvi 02 Oct '24

02 Oct '24

Dear all, On Wednesday, October 9th, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo of Tor Vergata Math Department, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php) will host Andriy Olenko (La Trobe University Melbourne) with the seminar "Limit theorems for multifractal products of random fields” Abstract: We will discuss the asymptotic properties of multifractal products of random fields. The obtained limit theorems provide conditions for the convergence of cumulative fields in $L_q$ spaces. New results concerning the rate of convergence of cumulative fields will also be presented. Simple, unified conditions for the limit theorems and the calculation of the Rényi function are provided, which are even less restrictive than those found in existing one-dimensional results. The developed methodology is further applied to multidimensional multifractal measures. Finally, a new class of examples based on geometric sub-Gaussian random fields will be introduced. In this case, the general assumptions take a simple form and can be expressed solely in terms of covariance functions. This presentation is based on joint work with I. Donhauzer (La Trobe University). We encourage in-person partecipation. Should you be unable to come, here is the link to the Teams streaming: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3arfsL73KX-fw86y1YnXq2nk5VnZFw… The seminar is part of the Excellence Project MatMod@TOV.

9 Oct 2024 - Seminar Anna Fiori
by Enea Bongiorno 02 Oct '24

02 Oct '24

Carissimi colleghi, scusandomi per eventuali invii multipli, vi inoltro il seguente annuncio di seminario. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordialmente, Enea Bongiorno -------------------------------- - when: 9 October 2024, at 16.15 - where: room 206, campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara. Università del Piemonte Orientale. - on-line: meet.google.com/eic-tuux-rzh Title: *Compositional methods and capital allocation: a proposal * *Speaker: **Anna Fiori, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca* *Abstract*: The capital allocation problem of an insurance company relates to the decomposition of an aggregate risk capital into additive contributions corresponding to different risk sources (e.g., individual agents, business units, specific guarantees included in a set of contracts). The proportions of risk capital allocated to each part can be viewed as quantitative descriptions of the components of a whole, subject to a fixed sum constraint (full allocation). This interpretation suggests interesting connections between capital allocation principles and Compositional Data (CoDa) analysis. The purpose of this work is to introduce a novel allocation framework that prioritizes the compositional perspective. In particular, we propose an optimality criterion based on a (modified) compositional distance between relative losses and capital shares allocated to them. In this way, we explicitly recognize that the relevant information associated with risks arising from –and resources assigned to– each constituent part is indeed information relative to a total. Different from previous research on compositional capital allocations, our approach is not restricted to gradient allocation rules or specific risk measures like VaR or CVaR. We propose instead a general reformulation of the optimal capital allocation problem which is inherently consistent with the relative scale of compositional variables. The resulting capital allocation solutions are compared to other proposals in recent literature and evaluated empirically on a dataset of cyber losses. ----------------------------------- Locandina dell'evento <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kKe_GZFJ4rnsTJ4PlOGTxDWs6dYYModv/view?usp=…> Seminari Matematici Statistici <https://seminari-ms.uniupo.it/home-page> ----------------------------------- -- Enea G.

Seminar Dario Spanò @LUISS
by Alessia Caponera 30 Sep '24

30 Sep '24

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*: Dario Spanò, Warwick University *Title*: *Dualities and Intertwinings in the Two-Parameter Poisson-Dirichlet Diffusion* *When*: October 3rd, 12:00 *Where*: Viale Romania, 32 00197 Rome *Meeting room*: TD2 AB *Abstract*: Mathematical population genetics has been an incredible culture broth for the recent developments of the modern theory of stochastic duality. Duality in genetics clarifies the intrinsic link between forward-in-time dynamics of a population’s allele frequencies evolution and backward-in-time dynamics of the same population’s ancestry. I will show that a duality with very much the same genetic ancestral structure can be established for an infinite-dimensional diffusion – the Two-parameter Poisson-Dirichlet diffusion – helping significantly the tractability of such processes for simulation and inference. *Webpage*: https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/research-seminar/dualities-and-intertwini… *Should you be interested, please kindly send me an email.* Best wishes, Alessia Caponera

Seminario Christian Hirsch - Politecnico di Milano - 10 Ottobre 2024
by Luca Scarpa 30 Sep '24

30 Sep '24

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Giovedì 10 Ottobre 2024, ore 14:30. Aula Seminari III Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Christian Hirsch, Aarhus University. Title: Large deviations of one-hidden-layer neural networks. Abstract: In this talk, I will present large deviations in the context of stochastic gradient descent for one-hidden-layer neural networks with quadratic loss. I will explain how to derive quenched and annealed large deviation principle for the empirical weight evolution during training when letting the number of neurons and the number of training iterations simultaneously tend to infinity. The weight evolution is treated as an interacting dynamic particle system. The distinctive aspect compared to prior work on interacting particle systems lies in the discrete particle updates, simultaneously with a growing number of particles. This talk is based on joint work with Daniel Willhalm.

RIASSUNTO: Nel 1931, E.Schrödinger si interessò al problema di calcolare l’evoluzione più probabile di una nube di particelle Browniane indipendenti condizionatamente all’osservazione della loro configurazione agli istanti iniziale e finale. In linguaggio moderno, questo problema, detto problema di Schrödinger, viene formulato rigorosamente attraverso la teoria delle grandi deviazioni come un problema di minimizzazione entropica con vincoli marginali. Molti anni dopo, T.Mikami scoprì che il problema di Schrödinger converge verso il problema del trasporto ottimo, detto di Monge-Kantorovich, nel limite di rumore piccolo. Questo collegamento, che permette di vedere il problema di trasporto entropico come una regolarizzazione del problema deterministico, è stato largamente sfruttato negli ultimi anni nel contesto dello statistical machine learning. Il motivo principale di questo interesse è che il problema del trasporto entropico si può risolvere con un algoritmo veloce e di facile implementazione, l’algoritmo Sinkhorn. Tale algoritmo, introdotto negli anni '60, richiede solamente alcune semplici operazioni tra matrici, come la moltiplicazione componente per componente: in particolare, non è necessaria alcuna inversione di matrice. Dal punto di vista teorico, l’attrattiva principale risiede nella convergenza esponenziale nel numero di iterazioni. Tuttavia, la comprensione di questo fenomeno è ancora incompleta, per esempio nel caso base del costo quadratico, e più in generale per problemi di trasporto con costi non limitati e marginali a supporto non compatto. Anche per misure discrete, ci sono ancora numerose questioni aperte, per esempio riguardo alla dipendenza del tasso di convergenza dal parametro di regolarizzazione. L’obiettivo della prima parte di questo seminario è di introdurre il problema di Schrödinger come problema di meccanica statistica, esporre il collegamento con il problema di Monge Kantorovich, e introdurre l’algoritmo di Sinkhorn. Nella seconda parte il seminario si concentrerà sul problema della convergenza esponenziale, offrendo una panoramica su risultati più o meno recenti e le diverse tecniche di dimostrazione, e presentando alcune domande aperte. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
