Seminario CALATRONI (Matematica Applicata & ADAMSS, CIMAB)
by Giacomo Aletti 04 May '16

04 May '16

Con preghiera di diffusione tra tutti i possibili interessati, scusandomi per invii multipli. Cordialmente, Giacomo Aletti =============== Nell'ambito del Seminario di Matematica Applicata, in collaborazione col centro ADAMSS e il CIMAB, il giorno giovedì 12 Maggio 2016, alle ore 14.30, nella Sala di Rappresentanza (piano terra) del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Via C. Saldini, 50, Milano, "Image segmentation, graph clustering and Hough transform methods for object detection and measurement in images" Luca CALATRONI Dipartimento di Matematica Universita' di Genova Abstract: In this talk we consider the problem of image segmentation through the minimisation of a Ginzburg-Landau-type functional defined on graphs (i.e. the pixel images). Such approach has first been considered by A. Bertozzi and A. Flenner and provides a binary segmentation of the image via the extraction and the comparison of features (RGB, texture,...) with a dictionary in terms of an appropriate similarity measure. From a mathematical point of view, the segmentation is obtained by exploiting the spectral properties of the differential operators appearing when taking the $\ell^2$ gradient flow of the functional. In order to overcome the numerical difficulties due to the large size of the images considered, Nyström matrix completion techniques and convex splitting methods are employed. We apply such method to the problem of scale detection in images where a fuzzy region of interest is present together with a measurement tool (e.g. a ruler). In particular, by means of a Hough transform based algorithm, we apply our combined method to several measurement tasks arising in real-world applications such as zoology, medicine and archaeology. -- ------------------------------- Giacomo Aletti, Associate Professor ADAMSS Centre (ex MIRIAM) Advanced Applied Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Department of Mathematics (www.mat.unimi.it) Via Saldini, 50 20133 Milano, Italy Tel: +39-02-503.16158 Fax:+39-02-503.16090 Cell:+39-340-9739142

******************************************************************* STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO ******************************************************************* Venerdi 6 Maggio 2016 alle ore 16:00, presso l’Aula Rossa del Collegio Carlo Alberto, Moncalieri (TO), si terra' il seguente seminario: Richard NICKL (University of Cambridge) NONPARAMETRIC BAYESIAN INFERENCE FOR DISCRETELY SAMPLED DIFFUSIONS We consider the nonlinear statistical inverse problem of making inference on the unknown parameters of a diffusion process describing the solution of a stochastic differential equation. The observation regime is such that the process is sampled at discrete time points that are a fixed distance apart, and we investigate the asymptotic regime when more samples accrue in the time horizon (thus avoiding unrealistic `high frequency’ assumptions). We shall briefly review frequentist estimation techniques and then turn to Bayesian nonparametric approaches to the problem, which have recently been shown to be computationally tractable (work of A. Stuart, G. Roberts and co-authors). A theory of frequentist contraction rates for the posterior distribution has been elusive for several years, and we present first rigorous, minimax optimal contraction rates for posterior distributions arising from natural prior distributions on infinite-dimensional parameter spaces on the drift and diffusion coefficient. We will discuss what can be learnt from these results for the choice of prior in such problems, as well as for the Bayesian analysis of general nonlinear inverse problems. In the proofs we obtain some new (functional) concentration inequalities for additive functionals of Markov chains arising from diffusions that are of independent interest. This is joint work with Jakob Soehl (Cambridge), see http://arxiv.org/abs/1510.05526 Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Lunedì 9 Maggio 2016 alle ore 14:00, presso l’Aula 1B1 dip. SBAI Università La Sapienza di Roma, si terra' il seguente seminario: SPEAKER: Bill Hsin-Hsiung Huang, Ph.D. (Dep. Of Statistics University of Central Florida) TITLE: An Affine-Invariant Bayesian Cluster Process with Split-Merge Gibbs Sampler ABSTRACT: We develop a clustering algorithm which does not requires knowing the number of clusters in advance. Furthermore, our clustering method is rotation-, scale- and translation-invariant coordinatewise. We call it “Affine-invariant Bayesian (AIB) process”. A highly efficient split-merge Gibbs sampling algorithm is proposed. Using the Ewens sampling distribution as prior of the partition and the profile residual likelihoods of the responses under three different covariance matrix structures, we obtain inferences in the form of a posterior distribution on partitions. The proposed split-merge MCMC algorithm successfully and efficiently estimate the partition. Our experimental results indicate that the AIB process outperforms other competing methods. In addition, the proposed algorithm is irreducible and aperiodic, so that the estimate is guaranteed to converge to the posterior distribution. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

******************************************************************* STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO ******************************************************************* Venerdi 29 Aprile 2016 alle ore 12:00, presso l’Aula Rossa del Collegio Carlo Alberto, Moncalieri (TO), si terra' il seguente seminario: Laura VENTURA (Università di Padova) ROBUST APPROXIMATE BAYESIAN INFERENCE The likelihood function is the basis of both frequentist and Bayesian methods. However, the stability of likelihood-based procedures requires strict adherence to the model assumptions: mild deviations from the model can lead to misleading inferential results. A possible Bayesian solution to robustness is to use a of robust pseudo likelihood, such as the quasi- and the empirical likelihoods, in the Bayes formula. However, in multiparameter problems the quasi-likelihood is cumbersome, while with small samples the empirical likelihood can be unstable. Moreover, some estimating functions can be difficult to evaluate, which rules out the use of the empirical likelihood and other existing methods (Bayesian bootstrap, Bayesian GMM, etc.). To avoid these drawbacks, in this contribution we focus on posterior distributions from robust unbiased M-estimating functions. These robust posteriors are obtained via Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) with the estimating functions used as summary statistics. Theory and examples with robust M-estimating functions are discussed. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Matlab + Advanced Risk and Portfolio Management Bootcamp
by Francesco Cesarone 25 Apr '16

25 Apr '16

Cari Colleghi, vi segnalo una scuola estiva (di alto profilo) in finanza quantitativa, che si terrà dal 15 al 21 Agosto 2016 alla New York University. Di seguito trovate tutte le informazioni sul Bootcamp. Cordialmente, Francesco Cesarone %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Hi Francesco, As every year, ARPM is organizing the *Advanced Risk and Portfolio Management Bootcamp* <http://www.arpm.co/bootcamp/>, an intensive, quantitative 6-day course that will be held on 15-20 August at the New York University. As a past attendee and collaborator of SYMMYS/ARPM, we kindly ask you to help us spread the word by forwarding the present message -where we summarize the key highlight of the course- to your contacts. Moreover, we are trying to expand our partnerships with the universities. If you or any of your contacts would be interested in using the *ARPM Lab* <http://www.arpm.co/lab/> (an interactive educational online platform including theory, case studies, videos, exercises, and interactive Matlab/Python code) for their courses, or in collaborating on research or survey projects related to quantitative risk and portfolio management (directly or through Master’s or PhD students), we would be glad to establish a connection. The ARPM Bootcamp, taught by Dr. Attilio Meucci, has a rich program that is constantly updated and covers: estimation/data mining, factor modeling, risk modeling, portfolio construction, optimization, liquidity and execution, and much more. The program is presented in a unified framework, so that, even while exploring each topic in depth, the big picture is never lost. For the most technical topics, along with rigorous material (all available during and after the course) we use live simulations and exercises to help grasp the intuition. Beside suffering though math and technical lectures, the ARPM Bootcamp is an enriching personal experience. Networking is facilitated during social events. In particular, the Gala dinner provides a rare opportunity to engage in informal, intimate conversations with world-renowned quants. Past guests have included Rob Almgren, Peter Carr, Emanuel Derman, Bruno Dupire, Jim Gatheral, Alex Lipton, Bob Litterman, Bob Litzenberger, Andrew Lo, Fabio Mercurio, Steven Shreve, and more. The course is preceded by a 2 day conference on Python and MATLAB programming for Advanced Risk and Portfolio Management (included in the ARPM Bootcamp fee). After the course a (free) optional exam can be taken to be awarded the ARPM Certificate. We have reduced fees for Students and Academics ($1100 instead of $2100) and further reduced rates for groups (2 x $1000 each, 3 x $950 each, ... down to $750 for groups of 7+) For more information, testimonials and registration, please visit our website: www.arpm.co Thank you for your help!

Annuncio Mini Corso - Giovanni Zanco - Pisa
by Marta Leocata 17 Apr '16

17 Apr '16

Cari tutti, nei giorni mercoledi' 19 aprile, dalle ore 11:00 alle 13:00 (presso l'aula seminari) giovedì 20 aprile, dalle ore 11:00 alle ore 13:00 (presso l'aula Magna) Giovanni Zanco terra' un minicorso dal titolo A brief introduction to rough paths Abstract: We will introduce basic concepts and tools from rough paths theory, motivated by the need to establish a solution theory for differential equations driven by irregular signals. In particular we will discuss controlled rough paths, integration against rough paths, we will compare it to stochastic integration theories and show how classical results can be extended to the rough paths framework. We will mainly consider \alpha-Hölder signals with \alpha\in(1/3,1/2]; this choice allows to simplify many concepts of the theory and, although restrictive, provides enough instruments to deal with interesting problems, like nonlinear SPDEs driven by space-time white noise. Saluti, Marta Leocata

Peano" dell'Università degli Studi di Torino, Via Carlo Alberto 10, Il Prof. PAOLO DAI PRA (Università degli Studi di Padova) terrà un seminario dal titolo ROUTE TO CONSENSUS AND OSCILLATING BEHAVIOR IN A NETWORK OF CONFORMIST INDIVIDUALS Abstract: Many models have been proposed to describe a group of interacting individuals with a conformist (or non-conformist) attitude. Most of these models are Markovian, possibly with memory. In this talk I outline a model in which every individual forecasts the behavior of the rest of the community, and on this basis optimizes his own strategy. We are interested in the resulting collective behavior, which actually shows features that are not present in classical Markovian models.

Many thanks and best wishes, Kevin Glazebrook Ref: A1497 Research Associate in Applied Probability/Stochastic Modelling Department of Management Science, Lancaster University Salary range: £26,537 to £30,738 Closing Date: Tuesday 10 May 2016 Contract: Temporary (three years) Job URL: <https://hr-jobs.lancs.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=A1497>https://hr-jobs.lancs.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=A1497 Mathematical Models and Algorithms for Allocating Scarce Airport Resources (OR-MASTER) is a Programme Grant funded by the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council, UK (EPSRC) involving Lancaster University and Queen Mary University, London (QMUL). The Programme runs for six years from October 2015, with a total of GBP 2.8million funding. At Lancaster, OR-MASTER will be undertaken by the Centre for Transport and Logistics (CENTRAL) Research (a newly established Research Centre in the Department of Management Science), and will link into existing Operational Research-related development initiatives and expertise such as: the STOR-i Doctoral Training Centre and the Lancaster Data Science Institute. Professor Konstantinos G. Zografos at Lancaster University is the Principal Investigator and overall Programme Director. Professors Kevin Glazebrook (Lancaster) and Edmund Burke (QMUL) are the two Programme Co-Investigators. Professor Burke leads the OR-MASTER Programme at QMUL. The Programme represents a strong partnership between academia, the air transport industry and policy makers. OR-MASTER will involve close collaboration with a host of international organisations that will support the project, providing real-world data, insights and expertise. OR-MASTER will develop new mathematical models and algorithms for solving complex, large-scale airport resource allocation problems. Our ultimate goal is to develop decision support capabilities for airport capacity allocation and management. To achieve our objectives we seek to recruit world-leading post-doctoral researchers (Research Associates) with ambition, potential and determination. OR-MASTER is a highly collaborative Programme. Each Research Associate and PhD student working on the project at Lancaster University will have at least one other 'buddy partner' at the QMUL with whom they will collaborate, supported by visits to the partner site. RAs and PhDs will also have opportunities to visit and collaborate with the industrial and academic organisations affiliated with the project. Research staff will also have opportunities to guide the direction of the research, where appropriate, and to make use of the extensive opportunities for career development and advancement that this large ambitious Programme offers. We are looking for an outstanding applied probabilistic/stochastic modeller to join the OR-MASTER team for a fixed term of three years. You will work under the direction of Professor Kevin Glazebrook to develop and analyse stochastic models to meet the programme's need for optimizing airport declared capacity and for assessing the delays experienced at airports and networks of airports. This work will require both a capacity for theoretical innovation and high level computing skills. The main activities will include:- - Innovative research investigation under the OR-MASTER project - Collaborative activities with OR-MASTER affiliated organisations and participation in project events (e.g. stakeholder workshops) - Preparation of research papers - Preparation and presentation of conference papers - Other duties associated with the OR-MASTER project Informal enquiries to Professor Kevin D.

In tanti anni di impegno comune, la sua presenza è sempre stata un'occasione di arricchimento sia scientifico che umano. E la sua scomparsa lascia un grande vuoto in tutti noi.

Seminario di Probabilità - Università di Padova - Cambio di aula
by Paolo Dai Pra 07 Apr '16

07 Apr '16

Vi informo che il seminario del Dr. Joseba Dalmau (ENS Parigi) dell’11 Aprile, si svolgerà alle 15:00 in Aula 1A150, al primo piano della Torre Archimede. Titolo: La distribuzione della quasi-specie Abstract: nel 1971, Manfred Eigen propone un modello deterministico per descrivere l'evoluzione di una popolazione infinita di macromolecole, soggetta a delle forze di mutazione e selezione. Due fenomeni principali si osservano nel modello di Eigen: una soglia di errore per il tasso di mutazione e una distribuzione di quasi-specie per dei tassi di mutazione sulla soglia di errore. Al fine di ottenere un analogo di questi risultati per una popolazione finita, studiamo un modello di Moran con mutazione e selezione, e ritroviamo, in un regime asintotico concreto, la soglia di errore e la distribuzione della quasi-specie. Inoltre, otteniamo una formula esplicita per la distribuzione della quasi-specie.

Gianni Di Masi
by Paolo Dai Pra 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

Con profonda tristezza vi comunico la scomparsa di Gianni Di Masi. Amico e collaboratore, Gianni è stato per molti anni un punto di riferimento scientifico e umano. Dopo esser stato ricercatore presso il CNR-LADSEB, Gianni Di Masi ha svolto la sua attività presso il Dipartimento di Matematica dell’Università di Padova, di cui è anche stato Direttore. La sua attività scientifica ha riguardato i processi stocastici e varie applicazioni, tra cui filtraggio, controllo stocastico e finanza matematica. I suoi risultati sono stati assai apprezzati a livello internazionale. A noi piace ricordarlo per la sua semplicità, onestà, la sua innata simpatia e il suo umorismo spesso trascinante. Notizie riguardanti il funerale e l’alzabara saranno a breve pubblicate sul sito del Dipartimento di Matematica.
