Saldini 50, Milano il Professor *CLAUDIO MACCI*(Università di Roma Tor Vergata) terrà un seminario dal titolo *Multivariate fractional (possibly compound) Poisson processes* ABSTRACT: We present multivariate space-time fractional Poisson processes by considering common random time-changes of a finite-dimensional vector of independent classical (nonfractional) Poisson processes. In some cases we also consider compound processes. We obtain some equations in terms of some suitable fractional derivatives and fractional difference operators, which provides the extension of known equations for the univariate processes. In particular we show that, for each fixed $t\geq 0$, the conditional joint distribution of the components given their sum is multinomial, as happens for the nonfractional Poisson processes. Thus we consider a suitable multivariate "alternative" fractional Poisson process, and we study its asymptotic behavior for large times (large and moderate deviations). The results appear in two papers with Luisa Beghin. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Another talk by Jacques Franchi at Tor Vergata
by Anna Vidotto 07 May '19

07 May '19

Dear all, I would like to announce a second talk that Jacques Franchi (I.R.M.A. Strasbourg) will hold on Thursday, May 9th 2019, at 11 AM in Aula Dal Passo of the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome Tor Vergata. Speaker: Jacques Franchi (I.R.M.A. Strasbourg) Title: From Euclidian to Riemannian and Relativistic Diffusions Abstract: Brownian Motion was first defined (in physics and in mathematics) in R and then in the Euclidian space. Then it was constructed on a generic Riemannian manifold, and gained a more geometrical status, which was intensively developed. More recently, on the unit tangent bundle of the Minkowski space and then of a generic Lorentzian manifold, was also constructed its analogue, called "relativistic diffusion". It keeps the geometric feature of being covariant with isometries, but is associated with strictly hypoelliptic and non-self-adjoint generators and kernels. Examples were studied : the Schwarzschild geometry, the G"odel universe, the Robertson-Walker manifolds. However the use of relativistic diffusions to address geometrical questions about Lorentzian geometry or analysis is much harder than in the elliptic (Riemannian) case.

Seminario di Massimo Franchi a Tor Vergata
by Anna Vidotto 04 May '19

Dear all, I would like to announce the following talk that will be held on Friday May 10th 2019, at 4:30 PM, in Aula D’Antoni (1101) of the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome Tor Vergata. Speaker: Massimo Franchi (Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, Sapienza Università di Roma) Title: Cointegration in Functional Autoregressive Processes Abstract: In this talk we define the class of H-valued autoregressive (AR) processes with a unit root of finite type, where H is an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, and derive a generalization of the Granger-Johansen Representation Theorem valid for any integration order d = 1, 2, . . . . An existence theorem shows that the solution of an AR with a unit root of finite type is necessarily integrated of some finite integer d and displays a common trends representation with a finite number of common stochastic trends of the type of (cumulated) bilateral random walks and an infinite dimensional cointegrating space. A characterization theorem clarifies the connections between the structure of the AR operators and (i) the order of integration, (ii) the structure of the attractor space and the cointegrating space, (iii) the expression of the cointegrating relations, and (iv) the triangular representation of the process.

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Venerdì 10 Maggio 2019, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Francesco STINGO (Università di Firenze) STATISTICAL METHODS FOR PRECISION MEDICINE: PROGNOSTIC AND PREDICTIVE MODELING Cancer is a heterogeneous disease at different molecular, genomic and clinical levels. Identification of prognostic and predictive biomarkers is of critical importance in developing personalized treatment for clinically and molecularly heterogeneous diseases such as cancer. I will first present a prognostic model for the identification of patient-specific biomarkers based on protogenomics data; this novel Bayesian hierarchical varying-sparsity regression (BEHAVIOR) model selects clinically relevant disease markers by integrating proteogenomic (proteomic+genomic) and clinical data. In the second part of the talk I will present a Bayesian predictive method for personalized treatment selection that is devised to integrate both the (previously identified) treatment predictive and disease prognostic characteristics of a particular patient’s disease. The method appropriately characterizes the structural constraints inherent to prognostic and predictive biomarkers, and hence properly utilizes these complementary sources of information for treatment selection. ------------------------------------------------ Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

Seminario M. Mariani a Pavia - 7 maggio
by Carbone Raffaella 03 May '19

03 May '19

Cari colleghi, vi annuncio che Martedì 7 maggio 2019 alle ore 14 precise, in Aula Beltrami del dipartimento di Matematica "F. Casorati" (Università di Pavia) il Prof. Mauro Mariani (HSE Mosca) terrà un seminario dal titolo: METASTABLE REGIMES OF DIFFUSION PROCESSES nell'ambito del Seminario di matematica applicata. Abstract. I will discuss a classical example featuring a metastable behavior: finite-dimensional diffusion processes in the vanishing noise limit. Exponential estimates have been introduced fifty years ago by Freidlin and Wentzell. Recent developments in potential theory and variational convergence allowed a refinement of those results. I will focus on the non-reversible case, with motivations coming from MonteCarlo methods.

Seminario L. Torricelli - DSE Verona
by Alessandro Gnoatto 03 May '19

03 May '19

AVVISO di SEMINARIO 7 May 2019 - Polo Santa Marta, Via Cantarane 24, Sala Vaona (Room 1.59) Speaker: Lorenzo Torricelli Title: Stochastic clock methods for trade duration in option pricing Abstract: Stochastic clock and in-business-time return models are useful in finance to recover Gaussianity of asset returns by means of re-normalisation with an increasing process (a time change) capturing the market activity (number of trades and their sizes) through time. When applied to a Brownian motion parent process, absolutely continuous time changes give raise to stochastic volatility return models, whereas if the stochastic clock is an independent Lévy subordinator, a new pure jump Lévy model is attained. In this talk I introduce a third way of using stochastic clock techniques, specifically geared towards modelling stochasticity in the times of price revisions, i.e. trade duration, within a Lévy-based, continuous-time finance framework. By using as a time change the first hitting time process of a Lévy subordinator we turn a jump process into a continuous but locally constant one, thus obtaining a stochastic clock which can be interpreted as a calendar time where the price evolution is halted at random instants. I illustrate some of the many applications such a technique may have, with a specific view to option pricing. I discuss three main topics: (i) modelling of regulatory and automated trading halts in equity markets; (ii); explicit identification of a market price of risk connected to liquidity factors; (iii) impact of dependence between duration and returns in the large maturity decay of the implied volatility skew. Explicit analytic pricing formulae can indeed be exhibited, making use of the fact that an analytic transform theory of appropriate inverse Lévy subordinators is fully developed. I finally suggest that the statistical fitting of such models poses delicate questions. For example, for a principled option prices calibration, it is critical to understand which of the trade duration parameters can be derived from the market implied risk-neutral distributions, and which are instead inherent to the market microstructure, and must therefore appear in the minimisation problem as a constraining factor. -- Prof Alessandro Gnoatto, PhD Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche Università degli Studi di Verona Via Cantarane 24 37129, Verona, Italy Room 1.05 Tel: +39 045 802 8537 Homepage: www.alessandrognoatto.com<http://www.alessandrognoatto.com> E-mail: alessandro.gnoatto(a)univr.it<mailto:alessandro.gnoatto@univr.it> -------------------------------------------------- View my research on my SSRN Author page: http://ssrn.com/author=1615989 --------------------------------------------------

Buongiorno vi annuncio un secondo seminario per la prossima settimana qui alla Sapienza (v.sotto). Grazie Alessandra %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Venerdì 10 Maggio, ore 14:00, Aula di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, La Sapienza. Speaker: Mauro Mariani, National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow Title: Scaling limit of a continuous model of active particles. Abstract: A free energy functional arising from kinetic mean field models of interacting particles is considered. We study the variational limit, in the regime of long time and strong interaction. While the density of particles only features a weak limit in the phase space (say position and velocity), the projection of such a density on the spacial coordinates has a meaningful limit, which satisfies a hydrodynamic equation. We characterizes the tensors appearing in the hydrodynamic limit, in terms of the interaction and velocity field of the original model. -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************

Matematica, La Sapienza Speaker: Lorenzo Dello Schiavo (Università di Bonn) Titolo: The Dirichlet-Ferguson diffusion Abstract: We define, via Dirichlet forms’ theory, a geometric diffusion process on the L^2-Wasserstein space over a closed Riemannian manifold. The process is associated with the Dirichlet form induced by the L^2-Wasserstein gradient and by the Dirichlet-Ferguson random measure with intensity the Riemannian volume measure on the base manifold. We discuss the closability of the form via an integration-by-parts formula, which allows explicit computations for the generator and a specification of the process via a measure-valued SPDE. We comment how the construction is related to previous work of von Renesse—Sturm on the Wasserstein Diffusion and of Konarovskyi—von Renesse on the Modified Massive Arratia Flow. -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************

International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Monica Billio 01 May '19

01 May '19

CREDIT2019 <http://www.greta.it/credit/credit2019/credit2019.htm> *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy), *European DataWarehouse* (Frankfurt am Main, Germany), *Intesa Sanpaolo* (Milan, Italy) and *S&P Global Market Intelligence* (London, UK) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September 26-27, 2019. The objective of the Conference is to bring together academics, practitioners and Ph.D. students working in the area of risk management. The conference will provide an opportunity for participants engaged in research at the forefront of this area to discuss both the causes and implications of recent financial and atmospheric events and may, in turn, suggest fruitful directions for future research. The Conference, organised under the auspices of the *Department of Economics of the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association*, *AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria* (Milan, Italy) and the *Joint Research Center, European Commission* (Ispra, Italy), is the *eighteenth *of a series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk. //The adoption of the Paris Agreement on climate change and the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development marks a historical international commitment to the objective of a more sustainable economy and society. How to mobilise the necessary financing for green and sustainable investments is thus a primary need. // //Meanwhile, Regulators are discussing about a green-supporting or a brown-penalising factor since they want to make sure financial institutions are prepared. It is to find the way to support sustainable investments but it is primarily a discussion about credit risk.// //The banking and insurance industries and more in general the financial sector has to develop new asset management strategies and to adjust their credit allocation practices to cope with these new challenges and take advantage of the new opportunities. All these changes call for a substantial amount of research to improve the knowledge of the mechanisms at play and to design adapted policy tools. ////////// The organizers encourage submissions of papers on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: * Analysis of climate change effects on companies’ creditworthiness, in terms of risk exposure and possible loss of business continuity; understanding on how to integrate the environmental risk and opportunities of banks’ or insurers’ counterparties in the credit process * Development of metrics for climate-related financial risks and investments opportunities; definition of an EU environmental and climate change (ECC) risk categorising system by economic sectors/sub-sectors for ECC screening to provide a sound and reliable basis for setting high-level policies for credit protection and allocation * Analysis of the climate change impact on the insurance sector and on the development of non-life and reinsurance products for the corporate and retail segments Analysis of climate-aligned developments in the financial markets (e.g. green bonds) and opportunities for financial institutions in fostering the low-carbon transition * Transmission channels of climate-related shocks from the real economy to financial institutions’ portfolios and amplification mechanisms of climate-related shocks through credit chains * Assessment of the potential impact of green financial policies, including climate-aligned monetary policies and macroprudential regulation * Big data and artificial intelligence to assess and manage the corporate exposures to climate change factors. The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Robert Engle *(New York University, Stern Business School), *Andreas Hoepner* (University College Dublin), *Irene Monasterolo* (Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, Vienna) and *Til Schuermann *(Oliver Wyman, New York). The Conference will also feature a panel discussion on researchers', practitioners' and policy makers’ views of the major outstanding problems.

Seminario di Probabilità a Roma La Sapienza

Buongiorno sotto l'annuncio di un seminario a Roma1. Grazie. Alessandra Faggionato %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Martedi' 7 Maggio, ore 14:00, Aula di Consiglio, Dip. Matematica, La Sapienza Speaker: Lorenzo Dello Schiavo (Università di Bonn) Titolo: The Dirichlet-Ferguson diffusion Abstract: We define, via Dirichlet forms’ theory, a geometric diffusion process on the L^2-Wasserstein space over a closed Riemannian manifold. The process is associated with the Dirichlet form induced by the L^2-Wasserstein gradient and by the Dirichlet-Ferguson random measure with intensity the Riemannian volume measure on the base manifold. We discuss the closability of the form via an integration-by-parts formula, which allows explicit computations for the generator and a specification of the process via a measure-valued SPDE. We comment how the construction is related to previous work of von Renesse—Sturm on the Wasserstein Diffusion and of Konarovskyi—von Renesse on the Modified Massive Arratia Flow. -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************

Seminario di Jacques Franchi a Roma
by Anna Vidotto 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

Dear all, I would like to announce the following talk that will be held on Tuesday, May 7th 2019, at 4:30 PM in Aula Dal Passo of the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome Tor Vergata. Speaker: Jacques Franchi (I.R.M.A. Strasbourg) Title: Small time equivalents for the density of a planar quadratic Langevin diffusion Abstract: Exact small time equivalents for the density of the (heat kernel) semi-group, with a control of the error term, are obtained for a quadratic planar analogue of the Langevin diffusion, which is strictly hypoelliptic and non-Gaussian, hence of a different nature from the known Riemannian, sub-Riemannian and linear-Gaussian cases. Namely I consider the density p_t of X_t := ( B_t , \int_0^t B_s^2 ds ), where B_t is real Brownian, and I obtain the asymptotic behaviours, as t --> 0, of p_t(0,(w,y)) and p_t(0,(w,ty)), which both can be seen as natural extensions beyond the degenerate Langevin-Gaussian framework. The result for the scaled regime is the first such one in a non-Gaussian strictly hypoelliptic framework. The method is half-probabilistic half-analytic.

Mini-course announcement: Stochastic control and mean-field games [L.Campi @Dept. Comp. Science - UniVr]
by Luca di persio 28 Apr '19

28 Apr '19

The Dept. of Comp. Science, College of Mathematics [ UniVr ] : https://goo.gl/maps/yeKWo3vri8PkHjUm9 will host the following mini-course *Title*: Stochastic control and mean-field games [ 2 ECTS ] which will be given by prof. Luciano Campi [LSE - London] *Stochastic control and mean-field games* In this mini-course we will give a short introduction of stochastic control problems and games, especially in view to applications in economics and finance such as - but not limited to - portfolio optimization. Two main approaches will be discussed: dynamic programming principle via PDEs (Partial Differential Equations), Pontryagin maximum principle via BSDEs (Backward Stochastic Differential Equations). Moreover, an application to the latter method to the very popular class of mean-field games (MFGs) will be presented as well together with some relevant applications to study strategic interaction among economic agents, such as banks and investors. Other applications of MFGs to, for instance, energy markets and crowd dynamics, will be also discussed if time allows. The list of topics will be: (i) Stochastic control: formulation of the problem with examples. (ii) Dynamic programming principle and Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman PDE. (iii) Pontryagin stochastic maximum principle and BSDEs. (iv) Mean-field games: characterization of Nash equilibria and applications. *Main references*: • Carmona, R., Delarue, F. (2018).

ISIPTA 2019: call for posters
by Serena Doria 28 Apr '19

28 Apr '19

Our call for papers teasingly stated that ?There?s more to uncertainty than probabilities? and set out to try and convince you that ISIPTA 2019 is a good place for discussing such matters. The paper submission deadline has passed, but rest assured, you can still present your work at ISIPTA, because poster abstract submission has opened. These poster abstracts are intended for discussing preliminary results and open questions, and also for bringing already published results to the attention of the ISIPTA audience. Each accepted poster abstract will be announced in a one-minute plenary spotlight presentation, and the accompanying poster will be presented at length during one of the discussion sessions. Given the prominent role of poster presentations at ISIPTA, these sessions provide you with a genuine opportunity for presenting your work to the ISIPTA audience. Furthermore, as icing on the cake, presenting a poster also makes you eligible for one of our poster awards. The deadline for poster submission is June 7. You can submit at any time before that, though, and we will provide you with a decision within two weeks. Furthermore, for poster abstracts that are submitted before May 6, we guarantee a decision announced before the early registration deadline of May 15. Not convinced yet? Then perhaps the following features can persuade you. We?d like to highlight the availability of grants for attendees with limited funding, and the possibility of applying for the IJAR Young Researcher Award. Basic info: ISIPTA 2019 is the 20-year anniversary edition of the world?s main forum on imprecise probabilities. It will take place in Ghent, Belgium, from 3 to 6 July 2019, and is currently open for registration. All details are available at http://isipta2019.ugent.be. Scope: The ISIPTA conferences are devoted to robustness and imprecision in uncertainty modelling, inference and decision making, focusing in particular on uncertainty frameworks that extend or replace the probabilistic one. Invited speakers: ISIPTA 2019 will feature keynote talks by Thomas Dietterich, Vladimir Vovk and Aharon Ben-Tal, respectively on robust AI, game-theoretic probability and robust optimization, and how these relate to imprecise probabilities. Additionally, on the occasion of ISIPTA?s 20-year anniversary, four former presidents of SIPTA will give invited talks on topics close to their hearts. Concept: Each accepted contribution is presented and discussed, in two separate sessions. Presentations are short and always plenary. Detailed explanations and discussions are face-to-face, typically with the aid of a poster and a flipchart. Atmosphere: ISIPTA conferences are characterised by a friendly and cooperative style, a strong emphasis on in-depth discussion and openness to new ideas. We hope that you too will enjoy and contribute to this unique atmosphere. Venue: Ghent has been called ?Belgium?s best kept secret? by the Lonely Planet travel guide and a ?medieval masterpiece? by The Guardian. The conference takes place in an old Augustinian monastery, situated in its historic city centre. Social programme: In order to blow off the accumulated academic steam, the programme also features several social activities, such as an opening reception at the town hall, a guided boat trip along the city centre canals, and a conference dinner with regional specialties, including some of our excellent Belgian beers. Types of contributions: We accept long papers, short papers and poster abstracts. The deadline for papers has passed though. The deadline for poster abstract submission is the 7th of June. For poster abstracts that are submitted before the 6th of May, we guarantee a decision before the early registration deadline of May 15. Grants: For researchers who would like to attend ISIPTA 2019, but are unable to do so due to budget constraints, we have grants available to cover (part of) the costs. Preference will be given to PhD students, but the grants are also open to more senior researchers. Information on how to apply is available on our website. Awards: ISIPTA 2019 will hand out an IJAR Young Researcher Award (for excellent research in the area of imprecise probabilities) and several poster prizes. The former is sponsored by the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, the latter by Wiley and Springer. The deadline for applying for the IJAR Young Researcher Award is the 7th of June; the rules for application are available on our website. Anyone who presents a poster (either for a paper or poster abstract) is eligible for the poster prizes. We look forward to receiving your contribution and to seeing you in Ghent.

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Venerdì 3 Maggio 2019, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Yosef RINOTT (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) MONOTONICITY OF CONVERGENCE OF POSTERIORS, AND TURAN TYPE INEQUALITIES Given a prior distribution on a space of states of nature, suppose we quantify our belief a given state is by computing its posterior probability having received a signal. If the signal arises under the same (true) state, does it always boost our belief that this is indeed the true state, and when it does, in what sense? What happens to this belief given a signal distributed according to a different state? Given a sequence of iid observations, the posterior probability of a parameter, when the data are generated according to the same parameter, converges to one, and to zero when the data are generated by another value of the parameter. We study monotonicity and unimodality properties of this convergence including stochastic orderings between prior and posterior, and monotonicity of the expected posterior. Some of the results apply to very general settings, and in others we focus on coin tossing. It turns out that there is a relation to Turan’s inequality for orthogonal polynomials, and in particular, to Legendre polynomials. ------------------------------------------------ Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

Seminario L. Campi - Verona
by Alessandro Gnoatto 18 Apr '19

18 Apr '19

AVVISO di SEMINARIO 24 April 2019 at 14.00 - Polo Santa Marta, Via Cantarane 24, Sala Vaona (Room 1.59) Speaker: Luciano Campi (London School of Economics) Title: Optimal market making under partial information with general intensities Abstract: Starting from the Avellaneda--Stoikov framework, we consider a market maker who wants to optimally set bid/ask quotes over a finite time interval, to maximize her expected utility. The intensities of the orders she receives depend not only on the spreads she quotes, but also on unobservable factors modelled by a hidden Markov chain. We tackle this stochastic control problem under partial information with a model that unifies and generalizes many existing ones, combining several risk metrics and constraints, and using general decreasing intensity functionals. We use stochastic filtering, control and piecewise-deterministic Markov processes theory, to reduce the dimensionality of the problem and characterize the reduced value function as the unique continuous viscosity solution of its dynamic programming equation. We then solve the analogous full information problem and compare the results numerically through a concrete example. We show that the optimal full information spreads are biased when the exact market regime is unknown, and the MM needs to adjust for `regime risk' in terms of liquidity volatility and sensitivity to regime changes. This effect becomes higher the longer the waiting time in between orders. The talk is based on a joint paper with D. Zabaljauregui (LSE). -- Prof Alessandro Gnoatto, PhD Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche Università degli Studi di Verona Via Cantarane 24 37129, Verona, Italy Room 1.05 Tel: +39 045 802 8537 Homepage: www.alessandrognoatto.com<http://www.alessandrognoatto.com> E-mail: alessandro.gnoatto(a)univr.it<mailto:alessandro.gnoatto@univr.it> -------------------------------------------------- View my research on my SSRN Author page: http://ssrn.com/author=1615989 --------------------------------------------------

Seminar Blanka Horvath in Padova (16/04/'19)
by Giorgia Callegaro 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

Dear all, I invite you to the seminar "Deep learning volatility", that will be given by Dr. Blanka Horvath (King's College - Londra), next Tuesday at 11.30, in room 2BC30 of the Mathematics Department in Padova. The abstract follows: * Abstract: We present a consistent neural network based calibration method for a number of volatility models-including the rough volatility family-that performs the calibration task within a few milliseconds for the full implied volatility surface. The aim of neural networks in this work is an off-line approximation of complex pricing functions, which are difficult to represent or time-consuming to evaluate by other means. We highlight how this perspective opens new horizons for quantitative modelling: The calibration bottleneck posed by a slow pricing of derivative contracts is lifted. This brings several model families (such as rough volatility models) within the scope of applicability in industry practice. As customary for machine learning, the form in which information from available data is extracted and stored is crucial for network performance. With this in mind we discuss how our approach addresses the usual challenges of machine learning solutions in a financial context (availability of training data, interpretability of results for regulators, control over generalisation errors). We present specific architectures for price approximation and calibration and optimize these with respect different objectives regarding accuracy, speed and robustness. We also find that including the intermediate step of learning pricing functions of (classical or rough) models before calibration significantly improves network performance compared to direct calibration to data. The talk is based on joint work with A. Muguruza an M. Tomas, available here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3322085 See you there (if interested!), Giorgia -- Giorgia Callegaro Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics - University of Padova Via Trieste 63 , I-35121 Padova - ITALY Tel: +39-0498271481 Fax: +39-0498271499 E-Mail: gcallega(a)math.unipd.it <https://webmail.math.unipd.it/horde3/imp/message.php?mailbox=Sent&index=598#> Personal web-page: https://sites.google.com/site/giogiocallegaro/Home
