In order to validate our methodology, a part of the work consists in numerical experimentations.

The project is highly interdisciplinary, with competences spanning from Machine Learning to Optimization, Deep Learning, Statistics, and Differential Geometry. The objectives of the project are multiple and include both theoretical and applied research, together with industrial activities oriented to transfer knowledge, from the institute to a startup or spin-off of the research group. The positions will be part of the new Machine Learning and Optimization group http://luigimalago.it/group.html, which performs research at the intersection of Machine Learning, Stochastic Optimization, Deep Learning, and Optimization over Manifolds, from the unifying perspective of Information Geometry. The group is one of two newly-formed groups in Machine Learning at RIST, where about 20 new postdoctoral research associates and research software developers will be hired by 2018. The official job announcement can be seen here: http://rist.ro/en/details/news/postdoc-positions-in-deep-learning-and-machi… Informal inquiries can be sent to Dr. Luigi Malagò <malago(a)rist.ro>, principal investigator of the DeepRiemann project.

U7, 2° piano, aula 2061 __________________________________________________________ Abstract: In this presentation we illustrate a novel inferential approach to estimate time-varying parameters of locally stationary time series. This approach is based on costationary combinations, that is, time-varying deterministic linear combinations of locally stationary time series that are second-order stationary. We first review the theory of costationarity and formalize a Generalised Method of Moments estimator for the coefficient vectors. We then use this new framework to derive an estimator for the (time-varying) covariance of locally stationary time series and we show that the new covariance estimator is more efficient than classical estimators exclusively based on the evolutionary cross-periodogram. We confirm our theoretical findings through a simulation experiment. We then present a new analysis of financial log-returns showing that our new estimator is capable to highlight well known economic shocks. As a second example of our approach we finally discuss forecasting of locally stationary time series based on costationary combinations. __________________________________________________________ Cordiali saluti Fulvia Pennoni -- Fulvia Pennoni Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods University of Milano-Bicocca http://www.statistica.unimib.it/utenti/pennoni/

Seminars at SNS (Pisa), 29 July 2017
by Maria Elvira Mancino 26 Jun '17

26 Jun '17

Dear All, I am glad to announce the following two seminars at Scuola Normale Superiore on the 29th July 2017 14.30 Christa Cuchiero (University of Vienna) Title: (Probability) measure-valued polynomial diffusions Abstract: We introduce polynomial diffusions taking values in the space of (probability) measures on a Polish space, extending the finite dimensional notion of polynomial processes to the infinite dimensional case. Our main goal is tractable dynamic modeling of (probability) measures with applications in large equity markets, capital distribution curve and term structure modeling. In the case of probability measures we provide a characterization of the corresponding extended generators, prove well-posedness of the associated martingale problems and recover the well-known Fleming-Viot process as special case. We obtain uniqueness of the martingale problem by establishing a formula for the conditional moments of the solution, which in the finite-dimensional case reduces to a matrix exponential. 15.30 Short break 16.00 Josef Teichmann (ETH-Zurich) Title: Affine processes and non-linear (PI)DEs Abstract: Motivated by works Dynkin, McKean, LeJan/Sznitman, Henry-Labordere and many others we show an abstract representation property for solutions of non-linear (PI)DEs by affine processes. This allows on the one hand to establish original simulation algorithms, on the other hand even to come up with new types of existence results for DEs. (joint work with Christa Cuchiero). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone is invited to participate.

Announcement of two talks, probability seminar, University of Pisa, Tuesday, June 27, 11:00h - 13:00h
by Carina Geldhauser 25 Jun '17

25 Jun '17

Announcement of two talks in the probability seminar at the University of Pisa. DATE AND TIME: Tuesday, June 27, 11:00h - 13:00h LOCATION: Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita' di Pisa SPEAKER 1: Remi Catellier (Université de Nice Sophia-Antipolis) TITLE: Averaging along irregular curves and regularization of ODEs. ABSTRACT: Paths of some stochasic processes such as fractional Brownian Motion have some amazing regularization properties. It is well known that in order to have uniqueness in differential systems such as $dy_t = b(y_t) dt$, $b$ needs to be quite regular. However, the oscillations of a stochastic process added to the system will guarantee uniquneness for really irregular $b$. In this talk we will show how to solve the perturbed differential system with a certain stochastic averaging operator. As an application, we show that the stochastic transport equation driven by fractional Brownian motion has a unique solution when $u_0 \in L^{\infty}$ and $b$ is a possibly random $\alpha$-Hoelder continuous function for $\alpha$ large enough. This is a joint work with Massimiliano Gubinelli. After a short break, at around 12:15h, we will continue with a second talk by SPEAKER 2: Michel Nassif (ENS Rennes) TITLE: Introduction to interacting particle systems ABSTRACT: Interacting particle systems is a recently developed field in the theory of Markov processes with many applications: particle systems have been used to model phenomena ranging from traffic behaviour to spread of infection and tumour growth. We introduce this field through the study of the simple exclusion process. We will construct the generator of this process and we will give a convergence result of the spatial particle density to the solution of the heat equation. We will also discuss a variation of the simple exclusion process with proliferation. Everyone is invited to participare. For more information and a longer abstract of the first talk in pdf format, please contact carina.geldhauser(a)dm.unipi.it

Politecnico di Milano - Seminario S. Castruccio
by Laura M. Sangalli 08 Jun '17

08 Jun '17

Si avvisa che in data 13-06-2017, alle ore 14:30 precise, presso l'Aula Seminari "F. Saleri" VI piano - Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore: Stefano Castruccio, Newcastle University, UK Titolo: Stochastic Approximations of Complex Deterministic Models: Environmental Applications Sommario: Climate models are among the most used tools for impact assessment and policy making, and they are instrumental to obtain physically consistent projections of future climate. While it is of crucial importance to assess the sensitivity of such models to different input such as scenarios and parametrizations, a comprehensive analysis is not feasible due to computational and memory constraints. In this talk I will present new classes of global space-time statistical models (emulators) that can provide useful stochastic approximations to climate models. Emulators trained on a small set of model runs allow to perform sensitivity analysis with surrogate runs that are orders of magnitude faster to compute than the original climate model. I will also discuss some of my methodological research on global space-time statistical models, spanning from nonstationary Gaussian processes in the sphere x time domain that can account for land/ocean regimes and vertical profiles of temperatures, to skew-t processes for daily data. The large dimensionality of the model output, comprising of hundreds of millions data points, poses significant computational challenges, and in this talk I will also introduce a new sequential likelihood approximation that will allow scalable, parallelizable and asymptotically consistent inference for massive datasets. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
