SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/s…> Venerdì 20/06/2025, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ 12.00-13.00 Speaker: Steven CAMPBELL (COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY) Title: A Tractable Triple Problem in Sequential Inference: Filtering, Control, and Stopping Abstract: We study a Bayesian sequential inference problem for the drift of a Brownian motion in which the observer not only chooses their stopping and decision rules, but also controls the rate at which information is acquired. This extension introduces a cost for information acquisition, transforming the classical formulation of Shiryaev (1967) into a joint problem of filtering, control, and optimal stopping. Problems of this kind arise in adaptive experimental design and real-time inference across domains such as healthcare, finance, and engineering, where information is costly and decision-making must be timely. Our framework accommodates a host of classification losses and general running costs on the control process. Despite the added complexity, the problem admits a remarkably simple and semi-explicit solution that exhibits structural parallels with the classical setting. This work highlights a rare instance in which a triple problem—combining inference, control, and stopping—remains analytically tractable. Based on joint work with Georgy Gaitsgori and Richard Groenewald. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: chiunque volesse collegarsi è pregato di inviare una email entro *mercoledì 18/06/2025* 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.

Seminario Padova - Filippo Quattrocchi
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 15 Jun '25

15 Jun '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (20 Giugno) in aula 2BC30 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Filippo Quattrocchi (Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA)) <https://sites.google.com/view/filippoquattrocchi/> https://sites.google.com/view/filippoquattrocchi/ Title: Acceleration-based Optimal Transport Date: June 20, 2025, at 14:30, 2BC30 Abstract: Finding smooth interpolations between probability measures is a problem of broad interest, with applications ranging from physics to biology, from computer graphics to engineering. In this talk, I will discuss a model in which such interpolations are found by minimising an action functional of the acceleration, and present recent results obtained in collaboration with G. Brigati and J. Maas (ISTA), arXiv:2502.15665. The first result is a fluid-dynamic equivalent formulation of the model, previously conjectured by Y. Chen, G. Conforti, and T. T. Georgiou. We complete the formal argument outlined by the aforementioned authors through the introduction of two new mathematical ingredients. The second result is the description of the (hypoelliptic) Riemannian structure induced by the minimal acceleration-based action on the space of probability measures. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

Special Issue on Causal Inference in Healthcare
by Azzimonti Laura 13 Jun '25

13 Jun '25

Dear all, We are pleased to announce the special issue of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning titled “Causal Inference in Healthcare”. The deadline for manuscript submission is November 5th, 2025. The widespread availability of real-world data from electronic health records, databases, registries, and digital health tools offers unique opportunities for advancing healthcare. However, extracting actionable insights requires grounded methods that account for bias, confounders, and the complexity of medical and biomedical systems. Causal inference provides a rigorous and robust framework for modelling cause-and-effect relationships, addressing biases and confounding factors and evaluating treatment effects, ultimately enabling personalised decision-making. This special issue seeks contributions exploring innovative applications, methodological advancements, and interdisciplinary perspectives on causality in healthcare, with a focus on utilising evidence from diverse data sources to address critical medical challenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Personalised treatment effect estimation. - Causal inference in randomised clinical trials. - Bias identification and mitigation in healthcare studies. - Counterfactual reasoning for clinical prediction. - Counterfactual fairness in healthcare. - Mediation analysis in medical research. Guest editors: - Laura Azzimonti, IDSIA USI-SUPSI, Lugano, Switzerland (laura.azzimonti(a)supsi.ch<mailto:laura.azzimonti@supsi.ch>) - Alessandro Antonucci, IDSIA USI-SUPSI, Lugano, Switzerland (alessandro.antonucci(a)supsi.ch<mailto:alessandro.antonucci@supsi.ch>) Important Dates: - Submission Open Date: May 05, 2025 - Submission Deadline: November 05, 2025 - Notification of Acceptance: March 05, 2026 Manuscripts must be submitted via the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning online submission system (Editorial Manager®).

Seminar Giuseppina GUATTERI
by Antonello Pesce 13 Jun '25

13 Jun '25

Dear all, On JUNE 18th, at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Bologna, room Vitali, and online at this LINK <https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19:meeting_NzYzZTc5ZDgtZjAxYi00ND…>, the following seminar will take place: 11:00-12:00: Giuseppina GUATTERI “MAXIMUM PRINCIPLE FOR OPTIMAL CONTROL PROBLEMS WITH DELAYS IN THE NON CONVEX CASE” as part of the cycle Stochastics and Applications. ABSTRACT: We establish a stochastic maximum principle for controlled stochastic differential equations with delay and control-dependent noise, without convexity assumptions on the control space. The cost functional depends on both present and delayed states, modeled via general finite measures. For measures with square-integrable densities, we employ infinite-dimensional reformulation and BSDE techniques; for general measures, we apply anticipated BSDEs and weak convergence methods. We further analyze the case of delay measures with $L^p$-densities ($p \in (1,2)$), deriving a generalized mild backward equation beyond Hilbertian settings. For any question, please contact the organizers: Elena Bandini (elena.bandini7(a)unibo.it <mailto:elena.bandini7@unibo.it>), Antonello Pesce (antonello.pesce2(a)unibo.it <mailto:antonello.pesce2@unibo.it>)

Mathematics - Special Issue: Mathematical and Computational Modelling in Empirical and Applied Science
by Alberto Lanconelli 12 Jun '25

12 Jun '25

Dear all, this is to bring to your attention the call for papers for a special issue in Mathematics, with title: Mathematical and Computational Modelling in Empirical and Applied Science The deadline for submissions is 31 October 2025. More details can be found at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/mathematics/special_issues/Computational_Model… and below. Best wishes.. Giulia Spaletta, Margherita Carletti, Alberto Lanconelli (Guest Editors) Mathematics an Open Access Journal by MDPI Impact Factor 2.3 CiteScore 4.6 mdpi.com/si/227288 Message from the Guest Editors Life sciences have become central in scientific research over recent years, both for their wide range of advanced applications and for their usefulness in the treatment of complex and/or rare diseases that affect humans. Experimentalists in biology and, more generally, in the natural and applied sciences increasingly look to the simulation methods and tools that mathematicians, statisticians, and computer scientists can offer, in attempts to obtain in-depth information on the physical phenomena in which they are involved. To accomplish this task, modeling is confirmed as an essential step with which to gain insights and acquire knowledge on the phenomena considered, describe the related processes of interest, and make predictions. Contributions are therefore welcome regarding applications of mathematics to real-life situations and, above all, to natural and applied science, particularly computational biology and biotechnology, but also physics and medicine. Also of interest are applications involving complex and/or high-dimensional data or dynamics arising in the social sciences, especially economics devoted to health and lifestyle aspects.
