Seminari Padova - Claudio Macci e Jonathan Tam
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 14 Feb '25

14 Feb '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (21 Febbraio) in aula 1BC45 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci saranno due seminari per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: 1. Claudio Macci (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) <https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~macci/> https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~macci/ Title: Large and moderate deviations for Gaussian neural networks Date: February 21, 2025, at 14:30, room 1BC45 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). 2. Jonathan Tam (Università di Verona) <https://sites.google.com/view/jonathanyytam/home> https://sites.google.com/view/jonathanyytam/home Title: Extended mean-field control: a finite-dimensional numerical approximation Date: February 21, 2025, at 15:30, room 1BC45 Abstract: We present a finite-dimensional numerical approximation for a class of extended mean field control problems. Our algorithm learns the value function on the whole Wasserstein domain, as opposed to a fixed initial condition. We leverage the approximation of the mean field problem by a finite-player cooperative optimization problem, due to the propagation of chaos, together with the usage of finite-dimensional solvers. This avoids the need to directly approximate functions on an infinite-dimensional domain, and allows for more efficient memory usage and faster computation times. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

Seminars in Statistics at Collegio Carlo Alberto - Nial Friel (University College Dublin)
by Matteo Giordano 14 Feb '25

14 Feb '25

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/s…> Venerdì 21/02/2025, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ 12.00-13.00 Speaker: Nial Friel (University College Dublin) Title: The clustered Mallows model Abstract: Rankings represent preferences that arise from situations where assessors arrange items, for example, in decreasing order of utility. Orderings of the item set are permutations that reflect strict preferences. However, strict preference relations can be unrealistic for real data. In large item sets, assessors might prioritise certain items, rank others low, and express indifference towards the remaining. Rank aggregation may involve decisive judgments in some parts and ambiguity in others. In this talk, we extend the famous Mallows (Mallows, 1957) model (MM) to accommodate item indifference. Grouping similar items motivates the proposed Clustered Mallows Model (CMM), a MM counterpart for tied ranks with ties learned from the data. The CMM provides the flexibility to combine strictness and indifferences, describing rank collections as ordered clusters. Bayesian inference for the CMM is a doubly-intractable problem since the normalised model is unavailable. We overcome this with a version of the exchange algorithm (Murray et al.,2006) and provide a pseudo-likelihood approximation as a computationally cheaper alternative. Analysis of two real-world ranking datasets is presented, showcasing the practical application of the CMM and highlighting scenarios where it offers advantages over alternative models. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile il seminario anche in streaming: chiunque volesse collegarsi è pregato di inviare una email entro *mercoledì 19/02/2025 * a matteo.giordano(a)unito.it <mailto:matteo.giordano@unito.it> Il webinar è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats <http://www.carloalberto.org/stats>) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

OWABI - Ayush Bharti - Feb 27
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 13 Feb '25

13 Feb '25

Dear all, the next OWABI seminar<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc> is scheduled on Thursday the 27th February at 11am. I am pleased to inform you that our next speaker is Ayush Bharti (Aalto University), who will talk about "Cost-aware simulation-based inference ", with an abstract reported below. The talk will be streamed on MS Teams on the OWABI Ms Teams channel OWABI Seminar: One World Approximate Bayesian Inference Seminar | General | Microsoft Teams<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3AdhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KShEETkd_w…> You could join the meeting with the link and details below Join the meeting now<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3adhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KSh…> Meeting ID: 311 178 293 223 Passcode: zg3E8kw3 Important: The virtual lobby has been removed, so everyone should now be able to join the seminar without any authorisation. 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 (Associate Professor) and WIHEA Fellow Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino

QFinLab Seminar - Marzia De Donno (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore) - 19/2/2025, 12:15 @ Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandro Calvia 13 Feb '25

13 Feb '25

Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Wednesday, 19 February 2025, 12.15-13.15 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus) Marzia De Donno (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore) Title: Short rate models with stochastic discontinuities: a PDE approach. Abstract: With the recent reform of interest rate benchmarks, interbank offered rates (IBORs) like LIBOR have been replaced by risk-free rates (RFRs), such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) in the U.S. and the Euro Short-Term Rate (€STR) in Europe. These rates exhibit characteristics like jumps and spikes that correspond to specific market events, driven by regulatory and liquidity constraints. To capture these characteristics, this paper considers a general short-rate model that incorporates discontinuities at fixed times with random sizes. Within this framework, we introduce a PDE-based approach for pricing interest rate derivatives. For affine models, we derive (quasi) closed-form solutions, while for the general case, we develop numerical methods to solve the resulting PDEs. (Joint work with A. Calvia, C. Guardasoni, S. Sanfelici). Next seminar: Katia Colaneri (Università di Roma Tor Vergata), 5 March 12.00. All news can be found on the QFinLab webpage<https://www.qfinlab.polimi.it/seminars-and-meetings/>.

Seminario Jacopo Borga, Martedì 11 Febbraio, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Silvestri, Vittoria 11 Feb '25

11 Feb '25

Segnalo il seguente seminario, che si terrà Martedì prossimo in Sapienza. *Martedì 11 Febbraio, ore 14:00,* Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker:* Jacopo Borga (MIT) *Title: *Lattice Yang-Mills theory in the large N limit via sums over surfaces *Abstract:* Lattice Yang-Mills theories are important models in particle physics. They are defined on the d-dimensional lattice Z^d using a group of matrices of dimension N, and Wilson loop expectations are the fundamental observables of these theories. Recently, Cao, Park, and Sheffield showed that Wilson loop expectations can be expressed as sums over certain embedded bipartite maps of any genus. Building on this novel approach, we prove in the so-called strongly coupled regime: - A rigorous formula in terms of embedded bipartite planar maps of Wilson loop expectations in the large N limit, in any dimension d. - An exact computation of Wilson loop expectations in the large N limit, in dimension d=2, for a large family of (simple and non-simple) loops. Previous results to the two aforementioned points were previously established by Chatterjee (2019) and Basu & Ganguly (2016), respectively. Our results extend these previous results, offer simpler proofs and provide a new perspective on these significant quantities. This work is a collaboration with Sky Cao and Jasper Shogren-Knaak. ******************************** Vittoria Silvestri Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome ********************************

SPASS Seminar: Olga Ariasova

10 Feb '25

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Homogenization of a multivariate diffusion with semipermeable reflecting interfaces* by Olga Ariasova (Inst. Geophys. Nat. Acad. Sciences of Ukraine, F. Schiller Univ. of Jena) The seminar will take place tomorrow TUE, 11.2.2025 at 14:00 CET in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass *---------------------------------------------------------* *Abstract: * The mathematical problem of homogenization typically involves studying the effective parameters of a system that exhibits rapid variations in its spatial characteristics. However, we focus on a stochastic multivariate homogenization problem of a different kind: the diffusion in the presence of narrowly located semipermeable interfaces. In simple words, our model reminds of a foiled composite material consisting of a media interlaced with very thin plates of different permeability. In material science such models are referred to as reinforced materials like a glass wool reinforced by aluminium foil. Usually, one is interested in the effective parameters of such a system. By combining the study of stochastic differential equations with local times and homogenization, we explore how the presence of interfaces can alter the diffusion behavior of the limit process. As a byproduct of our research, we obtain theorems for the existence and uniqueness of solutions to SDEs for multidimensional diffusion processes with membranes. Uniqueness is a problem of particular interest because it implies the strong Markov property of the solution, which is essential for the proof of convergence.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/s…> Venerdì 14/02/2025, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ 12.00-13.00 Speaker: Yufei ZHANG (IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON) Title: Towards sample-efficient continuous-time reinforcement learning Abstract: Recently, reinforcement learning (RL) has garnered significant research interest. However, much of this attention and success has been focused on the discrete-time setting. RL for continuous-time systems, despite its natural applicability to a wide range of control tasks in physical systems, remains largely unexplored with limited progress. In particular, characterizing the sample efficiency of continuous-time RL algorithms continues to be a challenging and open problem. In this talk, we introduce a principled framework for systematically analyzing regret bounds for continuous-time RL algorithms in episodic model-based settings. Our framework decomposes the regret analysis into two fundamental components: the finite-sample accuracy of model estimation and the performance gap of a greedy policy derived from the estimated models. The finite-sample accuracy is analyzed using filtering theory and concentration inequalities for correlated observations, while the performance gap is quantified by leveraging the robustness of the control problem. By integrating these insights, we optimize the exploration-exploitation trade-off, achieving the best-known sample complexity in the current literature. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile il seminario anche in streaming: chiunque volesse collegarsi è pregato di inviare una email entro *mercoledì 12/02/2025* a matteo.giordano(a)unito.it <mailto:matteo.giordano@unito.it>.

Seminario Raphael Huser presso Politecnico di Milano
by Laura Maria Sangalli 06 Feb '25

06 Feb '25

Si avvisa che in data 10-02-2025, alle ore 14:30 presso il Politecnico di Milano, Edificio 16B (Via Bonardi 9), in Aula 16B.0.1 (piano terra), nell’ambito delle attività del MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Raphael Huser, KAUST - King Abdullah University of Science and Technology Titolo: Neural Inference Methods for Spatial Extremes in High Dimensions Abstract: Neural Bayes estimators are neural networks that approximate Bayes estimators. They are thus likelihood-free, extremely fast to evaluate, and amenable to rapid uncertainty quantification, while also (approximately) inheriting the appealing large-sample properties of Bayes estimators. Neural Bayes estimators are therefore ideal to use with spatial extremes models observed in high dimensions, where estimation is often a computational bottleneck. In this seminar, I will summarize our research progress in that area and explain how, for any spatial model that can be simulated from, a single neural Bayes estimator can be trained to make fast inference with new data that involve varying sample sizes, varying spatial configurations of observed locations, and varying censoring levels used in peaks-over-threshold modeling. This methodology will be illustrated by application to sea surface temperature extremes over the Red Sea, and air pollution extremes over the whole Arabic peninsula. Joint work with Jordan Richards, Matthew Sainsbury-Dale, and Andrew Zammit-Mangion. This initiative is part of the “Ph.D. Lectures” activity of the project "Departments of Excellence 2023-2027" of the Department of Mathematics of Politecnico di Milano.

Double seminar: Alexandre Stauffer & Jacopo Borga at Tor Vergata 10.02
by Michele Salvi 05 Feb '25

05 Feb '25

Dear all, On Monday, February 10th, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo of Tor Vergata Math Department, RoMaDS <https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php> will host a double seminar by Alexandre Stauffer (King's College London) and Jacopo Borga (MIT). See below for titles and abstracts. 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…"Tid"%3a"24c5be2a-d764-40c5-9975-82d08ae47d0e"%2c"Oid"%3a"650fc4a8-4cec-4bd2-87bc-90d134074fe6"} <https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3arfsL73KX-fw86y1YnXq2nk5VnZFw…> The seminars are part of the Excellence Project MatMod@TOV. TALK 1 Alexandre Stauffer (King's College London) “Non-monotone phase transition in interacting particle systems” In this talk we will discuss a reaction-diffusion particle system which has a non-monotone phase transition. I will explain the techniques used to analyze monotone models and how they can be refined to analyze non-monotone particle systems. Based on upcoming works with Leandro Chiarini and Tom Finn. TALK 2 Jacopo Borga (MIT) “Lattice Yang-Mills theory in the large N limit via sums over surfaces" Abstract: Lattice Yang-Mills theories are important models in particle physics. They are defined on the d-dimensional lattice Z^d using a group of matrices of dimension N, and Wilson loop expectations are the fundamental observables of these theories. Recently, Cao, Park, and Sheffield showed that Wilson loop expectations can be expressed as sums over certain embedded bipartite maps of any genus. Building on this novel approach, we prove in the so-called strongly coupled regime: - A rigorous formula in terms of embedded bipartite planar maps of Wilson loop expectations in the large N limit, in any dimension d. - An exact computation of Wilson loop expectations in the large N limit, in dimension d=2, for a large family of (simple and non-simple) loops. Previous results to the two aforementioned points were previously established by Chatterjee (2019) and Basu & Ganguly (2016), respectively. Our results extend these previous results, offer simpler proofs and provide a new perspective on these significant quantities. This work is a collaboration with Sky Cao and Jasper Shogren-Knaak.

Seminario PRISMA oggi
by Francesco Caravenna 03 Feb '25

03 Feb '25

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) Ricordiamo che oggi, lunedì 3 febbraio 2025, Giambattista Giacomin (Università di Padova) e Marco Zamparo (Università del Piemonte Orientale) ci parleranno di Transizioni di fase in modelli di pinning ed effetto del disordine 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: Giambattista Giacomin (Università di Padova) e Marco Zamparo (Università del Piemonte Orientale) TITOLO: Transizioni di fase in modelli di pinning ed effetto del disordine. RIASSUNTO: Il modello di pinning è un modello elementare della meccanica statistica che presenta una transizione di (de)localizzazione. Questo modello è stato molto considerato nella letteratura fisica e biofisica poiché emerge naturalmente nella modellizzazione di una varietà di fenomeni e perché, in assenza di disordine, è esattamente risolubile. In termini matematici il modello di pinning è una misura di Gibbs con potenziali a un corpo basata su un processo di rinnovo discreto. Nella prima parte del seminario introduciamo il modello e presentiamo lo stato dell’arte sull’effetto del disordine, esponendo anche alcuni progressi recenti e menzionando alcuni problemi aperti. Nella seconda parte discutiamo invece delle varianti del modello di pinning in cui la densità dell’insieme dei punti di rinnovo è imposta al sistema tramite condizionamento o tramite dei potenziali aggiunti al modello: questo tipo di modelli è stato proposto in biofisica per lo studio del DNA circolare. In questo contesto una nuova fase, intermedia tra la fase localizzata e quella delocalizzata, appare, almeno in assenza di disordine. La comparsa di questa nuova fase è una versione di un fenomeno ben noto in probabilità, dove una singola variabile è responsabile delle grandi fluttuazioni della somma di tante sue copie (« big jump phenomenon »). La presenza del disordine ha un effetto molto drastico su questa fase: spieghiamo infatti che la fase intermedia non esiste se introduciamo del disordine, anche debole. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 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. Da quest'anno le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

31 Jan '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (7 Febbraio) in aula 2BC60 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Paul Nikolaev (Università di Padova) Title: Mean Field Limit for Stochastic Particle Systems With and Without Common Noise: An Analysis of Singular Interactions Date: February 7, 2025, at 14:00, room 2BC60 Abstract: We investigate systems driven by idiosyncratic noise, as well as those influenced by both idiosyncratic and common noise, the latter being particularly relevant in fields such as biology and finance. For both types of systems, we establish mean-field limit results. Our primary objective is to address interaction kernels with low regularity, thereby extending the classical Lipschitz framework. This includes applications to attractive Keller–Segel models, opinion dynamics, and general sub-Coulomb-type kernels. Our approach utilizes techniques from PDE's, such as relative entropy methods. The overarching goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of the recently developed methods that effectively address singular kernels. Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin

SPASS Seminar: Josué Knorst
by Francesco Grotto 30 Jan '25

30 Jan '25

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Quantitative particle approximation of nonlinear stochastic Fokker-Planck equations with singular kernel* by Josué Knorst (ENSTA-Paris, UNICAMP) The seminar will take place TUE, 4.2.2025 at 14:00 CET in Aula Magna, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass *---------------------------------------------------------* *Abstract: * We derive quantitative estimates for stochastic systems of particles moderately interacting via singular kernels and perturbed by both idiosyncratic and environmental noises. The moderate interaction regime is a scale introduced by Oelschläger in the 80s, and it lies between the mean field and the nearest neighbor interaction regimes. We prove that the (mollified) empirical process converges to the solution of the nonlinear stochastic Fokker-Planck equation. The proof is based on Itô’s formula for the norm of a H^1_q-valued process, commutator estimates, and some estimations for the regularization of the empirical measure. Joint work with C. Olivera and A. de Souza.

Stefano Favaro at Tor Vergata 05.02
by Michele Salvi 29 Jan '25

29 Jan '25

Dear all, On Wednesday, February 5th, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo of Tor Vergata Math Department, RoMaDS <https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php> will host Stefano Favaro (Università di Torino) with the seminar “A smoothed-Bayesian approach to frequency recovery from sketched data” Abstract: We introduce a novel statistical perspective on a classical problem at the intersection of computer science and information theory: recovering the empirical frequency of a symbol in a large discrete dataset using only a compressed representation, or sketch, obtained via random hashing. Departing from traditional algorithmic approaches, recent works have proposed Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) methods that can provide more informative frequency estimates by leveraging modeling assumptions on the distribution of the sketched data. In this paper, we propose a smoothed-Bayesian method, inspired by existing BNP approaches but designed in a frequentist framework to overcome the computational limitations of the BNP approaches when dealing with large-scale data from realistic distributions, including those with power-law tail behaviors. For sketches obtained with a single hash function, our approach is supported by frequentist guarantees, including unbiasedness and optimality under a squared error loss function within a class of linear estimators. For sketches with multiple hash functions, we introduce an approach based on multi-view learning to construct computationally efficient frequency estimators. We validate our method on synthetic and real data, comparing its performance to that of existing alternatives. Joint work with Mario Beraha (Politecnico di Milano) and Matteo Sesia (University of Southern California) We encourage in-person partecipation.
