La Statistica al CNR al servizio del Paese - 2025
by ANTONELLA BODINI 15 Sep '25

15 Sep '25

Care colleghe, cari colleghi, a ottobre si svolgerà, interamente online, la terza edizione del convegno La Statistica al CNR al servizio del Paese, dedicato agli studi condotti da ricercatori CNR a favore dello sviluppo tecnologico, economico, sociale e culturale del Paese, in cui la Statistica ha un ruolo di rilievo. Questa edizione è organizzata in due sessioni: * il 17 ottobre, dalle 10:00, si terrà la sessione per le scuole * il 20 ottobre, dalle 14:30, si terrà la sessione dedicata alla ricerca La sessione per le scuole si caratterizza per un taglio più divulgativo, ma certamente presenta temi di grande interesse come la necessità di preparare un buon protocollo di studio prima di qualunque ricerca che coinvolga soggetti umani; una spiegazione su base scientifica su come le società calcistiche riescano a ottenere risultati migliori sia dai singoli atleti sia dalle squadre nel loro complesso, accompagnata da una riflessione su come tali risultati si trasferiscano alla società in generale; i risultati di alcune survey condotte sugli adolescenti in tema di comportamenti sostenibili con riferimento al cambiamento climatico e di percezione del proprio futuro. La sessione per la ricerca considera diverse applicazioni degli algoritmi di IA (dal settore energetico, alla manutenzione, alla diagnostica per immagini), l’uso della statistica per analizzare e interpretare processi cognitivi complessi come la lettura, e l’importanza degli studi longitudinali nello studio della società. Entrambe le sessioni sono aperte a tutti gli interessati! Il programma integrale è disponibile al sito: https://stat-cnr.mi.imati.cnr.it/ La partecipazione è gratuita, previa registrazione (a uno o entrambi gli eventi) entro il 10 ottobre sul sito. Vi preghiamo di dare la più ampia diffusione all'iniziativa. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Antonella Bodini Istituto di Matematica Applicata e Tecnologie Informatiche "E.

Seminar at Sapienza University - N. Leonenko - 22/9/2025
by Luisa Beghin 15 Sep '25

15 Sep '25

Dear all, we are pleased to announce the following seminar at the Department of Statistical Sciences, Sapienza University. ——— *Speaker*: Nikolai Leonenko, Cardiff University (UK) *Title*: *Limit theorems for supCAR random fields* *When*: Monday, September 22, 10:00 *Where*: p.le A. Moro, 5, building CU002, room 24 (fourth floor) *Online: *at the following link <https://meet.google.com/fhc-xvdh-cgq> *Abstract*: The paper introduces a new class of random fields, supCAR fields, which are constructed as superpositions of continuous autoregressive random fields. These supCAR fields possess infinitely divisible marginal distributions. Their second-order properties are characterised by a novel family of covariance functions which can exhibit short- and long-range spatial dependencies. First, the existence of such fields is examined. Then, functional limit theorems for supCAR fields are derived under general assumptions. Four limiting scenarios that depend on the marginals of the underlying autoregressive fields and the specifications of the superposition are identified. Examples of specific supCAR fields, for which the assumptions and results are provided in simple, explicit forms, are presented. The obtained limit theorems can be employed for the statistical inference of supCAR fields. These are joint results with Illia Donhauzer <https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Donhauzer,+I> (Kyushu University, Japan) and Andriy Olenko <https://arxiv.org/search/math?searchtype=author&query=Olenko,+A> (La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia) ——— Best regards, Luisa Beghin *************************************************************** Luisa Beghin Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche Fac.

Stefano Favaro in Venice, Seminar at Ca' Foscari University, September 23
by Roberto CASARIN 11 Sep '25

11 Sep '25

Dear all, I'm pleased to invite you to the Seminar in Statistics, which will be held on Tuesday, September 23 at 12:00 in Meeting Room 1 by: Stefano Favaro (University of Torino - Collegio Carlo Alberto), Quasi-Bayes empirical Bayes: a sequential approach to the Poisson compound decision problem (Joint work with Sandra Fortini, Bocconi University) Abstract: The Poisson compound decision problem is a long-standing problem in statistics, where empirical Bayes methodologies are commonly used to estimate Poisson's means in static or batch domains. In this paper, we study the Poisson compound decision problem in a streaming or online domain. Adopting a quasi-Bayesian approach, often referred to as Newton’s algorithm, we obtain a sequential Poisson's mean estimate that is easy to evaluate, computationally efficient, and maintain a constant per-observation computational cost as data accumulate. Asymptotic frequentist guarantees of this estimate are established, showing consistency and asymptotic optimality, where the latter is understood as vanishing excess Bayes risk or regret. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our methodology through empirical analysis on synthetic and real data, with comparisons to existing parametric and nonparametric approaches. More information available at https://www.unive.it/data/agenda/3/105362 We are looking forward to welcoming you to Venice. -- Roberto Casarin, PhD Professor of Econometrics Ca' Foscari University of Venice San Giobbe 873/b - 30121 Venezia, Italy http://sites.google.com/view/robertocasarin/ https://www.unive.it/vera https://www.unive.it/isba2024

Avviso di Seminario: Prof. Nikolai Leonenko
by luigia.caputo 08 Sep '25

08 Sep '25

Il giorno 10 settembre 2025, alle ore 12:00, in aula F, del Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni R. Caccioppoli, il Prof. Nikolai Leonenko, Cardiff School of Mathematics, Cardiff University, terrà il seguente seminario: ''_Humbert generalized fractional differenced processes_'' Abstract: We use the generating functions of the Humbert polynomials to define two types of Humbert generalized fractional differenced ARMA processes. We present stationarity and invertibility conditions for the introduced models. The singularities for the spectral densities of the introduced models are investigated. In particular, Pincherle ARMA, Horadam ARMA and Horadam-Pethe ARMA processes are studied. It is shown that the Pincherle ARMA process has seasonable long memory property. Additionally, we employ the Whittle quasi-likelihood technique to estimate the parameters of the introduced processes. Through this estimation method, we attain results regarding the consistency and normality of the parameter estimators. We also conduct a comprehensive simulation study to validate the performance of the estimation technique for Pincherle ARMA process. Moreover, we apply the Pincherle ARMA process to real-world data, specifically to Spain's 10 years treasury bond yield data, to demonstrate its practical utility in capturing and forecasting market dynamics. These are joint results with Niharika Bhootna, Monika Singh Dhull and Arun Kumar (Indian Institute of Technology Ropar, Rupnagar, Punjab, India) Link: Seminario Prof. Nikolai Leonenko | Partecipazione alla riunione | Microsoft Teams [1] I Proponenti Luigia Caputo, Roberta Schiattarella -- Luigia Caputo, PhD Ricercatore Universitario di Probabilità e Statistica Matematica, Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni, Università di Napoli FEDERICO II Via Cintia, 80126, NAPOLI https://www.docenti.unina.it/luigia.caputo Links: ------ [1] https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/3341583166422?p=qqbdMFugJwUek3OULf

Nadia Oudjane September 9th, 11h CET at Bologna, Aula Vitali and Online
by Cristina Di Girolami 08 Sep '25

08 Sep '25

Dear colleagues, I am glad to advertise that next Tuesday, September 9th, at 11h Nadia Oudjane (Electricité de France, Paris, EDF) will give a talk Mathematical tools to manage distributed flexibilities in power systems. in Aula Vitali, Dipartimento di Matematica in Piazza di Porta San Donato 5 in Bologna and on-line https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_NzA3NGMzN2EtODcyMC00… Abstract: With the massive integration of renewable energies (photovoltaic (PV) and wind power) into the power grid, new uncertainties are impacting the power balance. At the same time, advances in « smart » technologies and batteries offer new flexibilities with the possibility of controlling the consumption of a large number of electrical appliances (electric vehicle recharging, heat pumps, etc.). In this framework, a major technical challenge is to optimize the management of this large number of heterogeneous flexibilities distributed across the network to help in balancing the system. This constitutes a large scale optimization problem under uncertainties, which can benefit from mean-field approximations.

Postdoc Opportunity: Generative AI for Financial Market Modelling
by Juho Kanniainen (TAU) 13 Aug '25

13 Aug '25

TUNI Luottamuksellinen - Confidential (3Y) Dear all, We are offering a postdoctoral position to work on generative AI for financial market modelling in a Nasdaq Nordic Foundation-funded project at Tampere University, Data Science Research Center, Finland. The project focuses on developing AI-based methods for spoofing detection and optimal execution in high-frequency trading within Limit Order Book (LOB) markets. As LOB data is inherently sequential, generative token-based methods are especially promising for modeling and forecasting LOB dynamics. The models developed in this project are also suited for counterfactual and interventional what-if scenarios, enabling analysis of what might have happened or what could happen under changing conditions. Professors Alexandros Iosifidis<https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandrosiosifidis/> and Juho Kanniainen<https://www.linkedin.com/in/juho-kanniainen-771b99/> have been pioneers in developing low-latency machine learning models for Limit Order Book (LOB) driven financial markets. With our international collaborators, we have published in top-tier AI journals and are among the most cited researchers in this field. Join us at the forefront of AI research in financial market modelling! 📌 More information and application: https://tuni.rekrytointi.com/paikat/?o=A_A&jid=2753 📅 Deadline: 25 August 2025 For inquiries, please contact: Professor Juho Kanniainen, juho.kanniainen(a)tuni.fi<mailto:juho.kanniainen@tuni.fi> Please include Post-Doc/Nasdaq Foundation – First Name Last Name in the subject line of your email.

Seminar presented by Annamaria Olivieri - Applications of Probability to Economics
by Enrico Scalas 04 Jul '25

04 Jul '25

Dear colleagues, On 10 July 2025 at 2pm (CET), Annamaria Olivieri, (University of Parma (Italy), Department of Economics and Management) will present an online seminar whose title is: Modelling Stochastic Mortality for Life Insurance Applications Abstract: In the closing decade of the last century, a generalized decrease in mortality rates has been reported in many countries, especially at adult and old ages, which was highly unanticipated. Until then, the modelling of mortality for insurance applications was mainly deterministic since, according to the classical insurance paradigm, in sufficiently large and homogeneous pools there is a high probability to achieve an outcome in line with what expected. Uncertain mortality trends are against such an argument. Net of the effect of the pandemic, the decreasing trend in mortality has persisted to current times, at a pace that remains random. Mortality has a clear impact on the liabilities of the life insurance (and pension) industry and an adequate mortality forecasting is among the key elements of an effective risk management design for a life insurer (or a pension fund), especially when longevity benefits are involved. Starting from the end of the last century, stochastic mortality modelling has become a core topic of actuarial science and many studies have greatly enriched the actuarial literature. In this presentation, the main characteristics of mortality trends are first summarized, with particular regard to the Italian population. Then, mortality and longevity risks are defined. Finally, a review of the main stochastic mortality models developed for actuarial purposes is provided.

Seminario Lukas Wessels a Milano-Bicocca
by Federica Masiero 04 Jul '25

04 Jul '25

Buongiorno segnalo il seguente seminario *Martedì 8 Luglio 2025, ore 11:30.* Aula 3014, Edificio U5, terzo piano, Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni, via Cozzi 55, Università di Milano-Bicocca *Speaker*: Lukas Wessels, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta *Title*: Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for Optimal Control of Semilinear SPDEs *Abstract:* In this talk, we consider a finite-horizon optimal control problem of stochastic reaction-diffusion equations. First we apply the spike variation method which relies on introducing the first and second order adjoint state. We give a novel characterization of the second order adjoint state as the solution to a backward SPDE. Using this representation, we prove the maximum principle for controlled SPDEs. As another application of our characterization of the second order adjoint state, we derive additional necessary optimality conditions in terms of the value function. These results generalize a classical relationship between the adjoint states and the derivatives of the value function to the case of viscosity differentials. The last part of the talk is devoted to sufficient optimality conditions. We show how the necessary conditions lead us directly to a non-smooth version of the classical verification theorem in the framework of viscosity solutions. This talk is based on joint works with Wilhelm Stannat. -- Federica Masiero Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni, Università di Milano Bicocca, Edificio U5 via Roberto Cozzi, 55, 20126 Milano

IAMG Distinguished Lecture di Jeff Boisvert presso Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandra Menafoglio 03 Jul '25

03 Jul '25

Si avvisa che in data 11-07-2025, alle ore 10:00 presso il Politecnico di Milano, Edificio 14 (Via Bonardi 9), in Aula B.5.3 (quinto piano), nell’ambito delle attività del MOX e della IAMG Distinguished Lecture Series, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Jeff Boisvert — University of Alberta e IAMG Distinguished Lecturer for 2025 Titolo: The Future of Machine Learning and Model Validation in the Earth Sciences: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Abstract: The earth sciences are being transformed by advances in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence. From optimizing mineral estimation and hydrocarbon production to improving wildfire prediction and management, these methods offer exciting opportunities for modeling and decision-making. However, these advances bring challenges with model validation, which is critical for ensuring that predictions are robust, reasonable, and actionable. This lecture will delve into the evolving role of ML in the mining, hydrocarbon, or wildfire industry, highlighting successes, pitfalls, and future prospects. "The Good" will explore case studies and implementations where ML has significantly improved modeling, decision making, and inference. "The Bad" will examine common pitfalls, including data biases, overfitting, and the misuse of algorithms without understanding domain constraints. Finally, "The Ugly" will confront the ethical and operational risks posed by poorly validated models, emphasizing the importance of transparency and domain experts. This lecture will not only focus on ML methods, but will also consider how to validate all types of earth science models including estimates, simulations, and decision making. We will discuss best practices for integrating ML models into traditional workflows while addressing the complexities of model validation. The seminar is part of the IAMG Distinguished Lecture Series, which is aimed to highlight the critical role of mathematics and statistics in addressing key challenges in the geosciences.

Seminar presented by Marta Leocata - Applications of Probability to Economics
by Enrico Scalas 24 Jun '25

24 Jun '25

Dear colleagues, (With apologies for cross-posting) On 26 June 2025 at 2pm (CET) Marta Leocata (LUISS Guido Carli, Department of AI, Data and Decision Sciences) will present an online seminar whose title is: Two applications of multi-agent models in economic and social systems Abstract: In this talk, we present an overview of mathematical models that capture the behavior of myopic agents—who rely on short-term, local information in their decision-making—and strategic agents, who consider the long-term consequences of their actions within interactive environments. These concepts will be illustrated through two applications in economic and social contexts: a multi-agent model for the co-evolution of preferences and actions in the emergence of social norms (joint work with Michele Aleandri, LUISS, and Laura Marcon, CNR), and a Mean Field Game approach to the Emission Trading System (joint work with Giulia Livieri, LSE, and Gianmarco Del Sarto, TU Darmstadt). The seminar link is: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/87022289921 This is the first seminar of a series of three seminars organised by UMI-PRISMA on the Applications of Probability to Economics in preparation to the 2025 Summer School of Mathematics for Economic and Social Sciences: https://indico.sns.it/event/105/overview The next seminars will be: on 10 July 2025, Annamaria Olivieri, (University of Parma (Italy), Department of Economics and Management), Modelling Stochastic Mortality for Life Insurance Applications on 17 July 2025, Sara Merino Aceituno (Faculty of Mathematics, University of Vienna, Austria), Large particle limit for jump processes Everybody is welcome to join these seminars!

Oggi, martedì 24 giugno 2025 alle ore 14:30 Dario Trevisan, Dipartimento di Matematica , Università di Pisa , terrà il seminario: Convergenza quantitativa delle reti neurali profonde ai processi gaussiani Astratto In questo seminario, esploriamo la convergenza quantitativa di ampie reti neurali profonde con pesi gaussiani a processi gaussiani, stabilendo nuove velocità per la loro approssimazione gaussiana. Mostriamo che la distanza di Wasserstein tra l'output della rete e la sua controparte gaussiana scala inversamente alla larghezza della rete, con limiti applicabili a qualsiasi insieme finito di input in specifiche condizioni di non degenerazione delle covarianze. Inoltre, estendiamo la nostra analisi al framework bayesiano, studiando i posteriori esatti per le reti neurali, quando dotate di priori gaussiani e funzioni di verosimiglianza regolari, ma forniamo anche recenti progressi nell'approssimazione quantitativa di reti addestrate tramite discesa del gradiente nel regime NTK. Basato su lavori congiunti con A. Basteri, A. Agazzi ed E. Mosig. Il seminario si svolgerà presso la sede CNR-IAC di Roma , sala al primo piano , in modalità mista: in presenza e in streaming al link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMKVBN5l13g Cordialmente, Giovanni Luca Torrisi

Title: Logarithmically Correlated Fields from Random Matrices. Abstract: In 2012, Fyodorov, Hiary, and Keating discovered a new connection between random matrices and extremal values of logarithmically correlated fields, such as branching Brownian motion and the 2D Gaussian Free Field. In particular, they conjectured that extreme statistics of random characteristic polynomials of unitary matrices belong to the universality class of logarithmically correlated fields, which was first identified by Bramson in his seminal work on branching Brownian motion. I will review several contributions in proving this connection and present some new recent works establishing new connections of characteristic polynomials of non-Hermitian matrices and two- and three-dimensional logarithmically correlated fields.

Dear colleagues, this is a gentle reminder of today One World Probability Seminar, details below. The seminar will be held at 15:00 (italian time). This will be the last seminar of the spring term, we hope to see many of you online! Luisa and Roger ________________________________ Da: owps-request(a)lists.bath.ac.uk <owps-request(a)lists.bath.ac.uk> per conto di One World Probability <ow.probability(a)gmail.com> Inviato: martedì 17 giugno 2025 21:13 A: owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk <owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk> Oggetto: [owps] Fwd: next OWPS: Eva Löcherbach and Elisa Marini The final OWPS of Spring will be on Wednesday, June 18, from 13:00 to 15:00 UTC time. Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar<https://protect-eu.mimecast.com/s/-zGkCWqjZFlpkVlsnEyR_?domain=eur01.safeli…>. ----------------------- Probabilistic models for systems of interacting spiking neurons and some words about their mean field limits E. Löcherbach (Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University) I will give an overview of recent results about mean field limits for systems of interacting point processes modeling spiking (biological) neurons. I will start with a short introduction to the functioning of neurons and the modeling of their spiking activity by stochastic integrate and fire models and then focus on a particular class of models which are stochastic intensity based processes. Then we will discuss mean field limits and propagation of chaos results for large homogeneous systems of neurons and see how the limit is described by a McKean-Vlasov type equation driven by Poisson random measure. A second part of the talk is devoted to the study of systems with random synaptic weights in a diffusive scaling. We will see how this setting leads to conditional propagation of chaos and how the convergence can be obtained by means of a new martingale problem. Finally, if time permits, I will also discuss the longtime behavior both of the finite and the limit system of neurons. The second part of the talk is based on joint work with Xavier Erny and Dasha Loukianova. Strong conditional propagation of chaos for systems of interacting particles with nearly stable jumps E. Marini (Dauphine-PSL Paris) We consider a system of N interacting particles, described by SDEs driven by Poisson random measures, where the coefficients depend on the empirical measure of the system. Every particle jumps with a rate depending on its position. When this happens, all the other particles of the system receive the same random kick, distributed according to a heavy-tailed random variable belonging to the domain of attraction of an α-stable law, and scaled by N−1/α, where α ∈ (0, 2) \ {1}. We call these jumps collateral jumps. Moreover, in the case 0 < α < 1, the jumping particle itself undergoes a macroscopic, main jump. Similar systems are used to model networks of interacting neurons; in that context, main and collateral jumps represent, respectively, the hyperpolarization of a neuron after a spike and the synaptic inputs received by post-synaptic neurons from pre-synaptic ones. We prove that our system satisfies the conditional propagation of chaos property: as N → +∞, the finite particle system converges to an infinite exchangeable system that obeys a McKean–Vlasov SDE driven by an α-stable process. In the limit, the particles become independent, conditionally on the driving α-stable process. https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92945513591?pwd=zjtRwpHoO9kRyQuPPj4o186jXrvg1v.1 Meeting ID: 92945513591 Passcode: 131676

Seminario Bin Yu al dipartimento G. Catelnuovo
by Gustavo Posta 17 Jun '25

17 Jun '25

Lunedì 23 giugno alle 16:00 nella Sala di Consiglio il prof. Bin Yu (Statistics, EECS, Center for Computational Biology, and Simons Institute UC Berkeley) terrà un seminario dal titolo: Sparse dictionary learning and deep learning in practice and theory Abstract: Sparse dictionary learning has a long history and produces wavelet-like filters when fed with natural image patches, corresponding to the V1 primary visual cortex of the human brain. Wavelets as local Fourier Transforms are interpretable in physical sciences and beyond. In this talk, we will first describe adaptive wavelet distillation (AWD) to turn black-box deep learning models interpretable in cosmology and cellular biology problems while improving predictive performance. Then we present theoretical results that, under simple sparse dictionary models, gradient descent in auto-encoder fitting converges to one point on a manifold of global minima, and which minimum depends on the batch size. In particular, we show that when using a small batch-size as in stochastic gradient descent (SGD) a qualitatively different type of â€œfeature selectionâ€ occurs. Gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Gustavo Posta Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma "la Sapienza" P.le A.

OWABI@BayesComp - 19th June 1pm UK time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 16 Jun '25

16 Jun '25

Dear All, The final OWABI seminar www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi> of the season will feature two selected talks and will take place live from BayesComp https://bayescomp2025.sg/! The talks will take place on Thursday the 19th June at 1pm UK time (note the different date and time!), and will be given by * Filippo Pagani (University of Warwick): Approximate Bayesian Fusion * Maurizio Filippone (KAUST): GANs Secretly Perform Approximate Bayesian Model Selection with abstracts reported below. The talks will be live streamed from the following link: https://monash.zoom.us/j/81050994376?pwd=aF52Ab2oUlNYPO251d4nDw0jXRemia.1<https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fmonash.zoom.us%2Fj%2F81050994376…> Meeting ID: 810 5099 4376 Passcode: 137607 The session will run in a hybrid format, taking place live from BayesCom2025 - 8pm-9pm (Singapore time) - and will be located in room LT50 in the conference venue. We look forward to seeing you online or in person! Best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the OWABI Organisers 1st OWABI Talk: 1-1.30pm Uk time Speaker: Filippo Pagani<https://filippopagani.github.io/> (University of Warwick) Title: Approximate Bayesian Fusion Abstract: Bayesian Fusion is a powerful approach that enables distributed inference while maintaining exactness. However, the approach is computationally expensive. In this work, we propose a novel method that incorporates numerical approximations to alleviate the most computationally expensive steps, thereby achieving substantial reductions in runtime. Our approach retains the flexibility to approximate the target posterior distribution to an arbitrary degree of accuracy, and is scalable with respect to both the size of the dataset and the number of computational cores. Our method offers a practical and efficient alternative for large-scale Bayesian inference in distributed environments. 2nd OWABI Talk: 1.30-2pm Uk time Speaker: Maurizio Filippone<https://www.kaust.edu.sa/en/study/faculty/maurizio-filippone> (KAUST) Title: GANs Secretly Perform Approximate Bayesian Model Selection Abstract: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are popular models achieving impressive performance in various generative modeling tasks. In this work, we aim at explaining the undeniable success of GANs by interpreting them as probabilistic generative models. In this view, GANs transform a distribution over latent variables Z into a distribution over inputs X through a function parameterized by a neural network, which is usually referred to as the generator. This probabilistic interpretation enables us to cast the GAN adversarial-style optimization as a proxy for marginal likelihood optimization. More specifically, it is possible to show that marginal likelihood maximization with respect to model parameters is equivalent to the minimization of the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence between the true data generating distribution and the one modeled by the GAN. By replacing the KL divergence with other divergences and integral probability metrics we obtain popular variants of GANs such as f-GANs, Wasserstein-GANs, and Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD)-GANs. This connection has profound implications because of the desirable properties associated with marginal likelihood optimization, such as (i) lack of overfitting, which explains the success of GANs, and (ii) allowing for model selection, which opens to the possibility of obtaining parsimonious generators through architecture search. ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Reader (Associate Professor) and WIHEA Fellow Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino

Seminars in Statistics at Collegio Carlo Alberto - Steven CAMPBELL (COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY)

16 Jun '25

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.

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!

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.

Save the date: OWABI live from BayesComp - 19th June 1pm UK time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 09 Jun '25

09 Jun '25

Dear all, the next OWABI seminar https://www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi, the last of this Season, is also going to be a special one, featuring two selected talks live from BayesComp https://bayescomp2025.sg/! The two talks are scheduled on Thursday the 19th June at 1pm UK time (note the different date and time!), given by * Filippo Pagani (University of Warwick): Approximate Bayesian Fusion * Maurizio Filippone (KAUST): GANs Secretly Perform Approximate Bayesian Model Selection with abstracts reported below. The talks will be streamed on Zoom at the link: https://monash.zoom.us/j/81050994376?pwd=aF52Ab2oUlNYPO251d4nDw0jXRemia.1<https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fmonash.zoom.us%2Fj%2F81050994376…> Meeting ID: 810 5099 4376 Passcode: 137607 1st OWABI Talk: 1-1.30pm Uk time Speaker: Filippo Pagani<https://filippopagani.github.io/> (University of Warwick) Title: Approximate Bayesian Fusion Abstract: Bayesian Fusion is a powerful approach that enables distributed inference while maintaining exactness. However, the approach is computationally expensive. In this work, we propose a novel method that incorporates numerical approximations to alleviate the most computationally expensive steps, thereby achieving substantial reductions in runtime. Our approach retains the flexibility to approximate the target posterior distribution to an arbitrary degree of accuracy, and is scalable with respect to both the size of the dataset and the number of computational cores. Our method offers a practical and efficient alternative for large-scale Bayesian inference in distributed environments. 2nd OWABI Talk: 1.30-2pm Uk time Speaker: Maurizio Filippone<https://www.kaust.edu.sa/en/study/faculty/maurizio-filippone> (KAUST) Title: Approximate Bayesian Fusion Abstract: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are popular models achieving impressive performance in various generative modeling tasks. In this work, we aim at explaining the undeniable success of GANs by interpreting them as probabilistic generative models. In this view, GANs transform a distribution over latent variables Z into a distribution over inputs X through a function parameterized by a neural network, which is usually referred to as the generator. This probabilistic interpretation enables us to cast the GAN adversarial-style optimization as a proxy for marginal likelihood optimization. More specifically, it is possible to show that marginal likelihood maximization with respect to model parameters is equivalent to the minimization of the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence between the true data generating distribution and the one modeled by the GAN. By replacing the KL divergence with other divergences and integral probability metrics we obtain popular variants of GANs such as f-GANs, Wasserstein-GANs, and Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD)-GANs. This connection has profound implications because of the desirable properties associated with marginal likelihood optimization, such as (i) lack of overfitting, which explains the success of GANs, and (ii) allowing for model selection, which opens to the possibility of obtaining parsimonious generators through architecture search. We are looking forward to seeing you at the next OWABI seminar(s), 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 - Marco Tolotti (Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia) - 9/6/2025, 12:15 @ Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandro Calvia 05 Jun '25

05 Jun '25

Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Monday, 9 June 2025, 12.15-13.15 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus) Marco Tolotti (Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia) Title: Market Dynamics, Learning, and the Equity Premium Puzzle in an Agent-Based Model of Information Acquisition. Abstract: We analyze a financial market with a large number of investors who use an imitation-based learning mechanism to choose among various strategies that differ in the amount and quality of information they incorporate. Agents’ strategies evolve through a straightforward learning mechanism in which traders occasionally imitate more successful strategies adopted by peers they encounter. In this context, equilibrium is defined as a state where investors, on average, win half the time and lose in the remaining periods. Through an agent-based model, we show that at equilibrium, most investors rely on a limited number of strategies. In most scenarios, two strategies dominate: overly cautious traders, who hold little equity and capture the largest market share, and informed traders, who achieve higher average profits. Our model can help to justify the existence of an equity premium puzzle: in equilibrium, the higher mean profit of informed investors is associated with a median profit that is equal to that of more prudent or misinformed investors.

Seminario Anderson Melchor Hernandez - Politecnico di Milano - 12 Giugno 2025
by Luca Scarpa 04 Jun '25

04 Jun '25

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Giovedì 12 Giugno 2025, ore 11:00. Aula Seminari III Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Anderson Melchor Hernandez, Università di Bologna. Title: Convergence of quantum neural networks at infinite width Abstract: Quantum neural networks constitute the quantum version of deep neural models. These new models are based on quantum circuits and generate functions given by the expectation values of a quantum observable measured on the output of a quantum circuit made by parametric one-qubit and two-qubit gates. The parameters of the circuit encode both the input data and the parameters of the model itself. These parameters are typically optimized by gradient descent, which involves iterative adjustment to minimize a cost function and improve the performance of the quantum circuit in the processing and analysis of data. Significant progress has been made in addressing the question of whether training can perfectly fit the training examples while simultaneously avoiding overfitting. A fundamental breakthrough has been the proof that, in the limit of infinite width, the probability distribution of the function generated by a deep neural network trained on a supervised learning problem converges to a Gaussian process. Recent developments have inspired renewed interest in quantum machine learning, raising the question of whether quantum neural networks exhibit analogous properties. In this presentation, I will explore some of the recent advancements in this area, highlighting key insights and findings. This talk is based on joint collaborations with Giacomo de Palma, Filippo Girardi, and Davide Pastorello.

In recent years, with the rapid progress in the study of the hydrodynamics of integrable systems, there has been a growing interest in BBS with random initial distribution. In this talk, we consider the scaling limits for a tagged soliton in the BBS starting from certain stationary distribution. This talk is based on a joint work with Stefano Olla and Makiko Sasada. Probabilistic aspects of integrable systems Makiko Sasada (University of Tokyo) The KdV equation and the Toda lattice are classical integrable systems, with the box-ball system (BBS) as their ultra-discrete analogue. The BBS has been studied from various viewpoints such as tropical geometry, combinatorics, and cellular-automaton. Recently, probabilistic approaches to the BBS—such as the Pitman transform and analysis of i.i.d.-type invariant measures—have advanced rapidly and are also applicable to discrete KdV and Toda systems. Connections to Yang-Baxter maps have further deepened this research topic. In this talk, I will provide an overview of these developments. This talk is based on joint works with David Croydon, Tsuyoshi Kato, Satoshi Tsujimoto, Ryosuke Uozumi, Hiroki Kondo and Sachiko Nakajima. https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92945513591?pwd=zjtRwpHoO9kRyQuPPj4o186jXrvg1v.1 Meeting ID: 92945513591 Passcode: 131676

Best wishes Stefan ------------------------------------------------ Friday, June 06, (12:30 noon London, 1:30 pm Berlin, 2:30 pm Helsinki, 7:30 pm Beijing) in the *International Seminar on SDEs and Related Topics* in Zoom https://jyufi.zoom.us/j/61891007917 *Rainer Buckdahn* (Université de Bretagne Occidentale, Brest, France, Shandong University Qingdao, China) will speak about *Optimal control problems with generalized mean-field dynamics* *and viscosity solutions to a Master Bellman equation* Abstract: We study an optimal control problem with generalized mean-field dynamics with open-loop controls, where the coefficients depend not only on the state processes and controls, but also on the joint law of them. The value function V which is defined in a classical way, does not satisfy the Dynamic Programming Principle (DPP for short). Indeed, we show that V solely satisfies the one-sided DPP. For this reason we introduce subtly a novel value function ϑ, which is closely related to the original value function V, so that a characterisation of ϑ as a solution of a partial differential equation (PDE) also characterises V. We establish the DPP for ϑ. By using an intrinsic notion of viscosity solution, initially introduced in Burzoni, Ignazio, Reppen and Soner and specifically tailored to our framework, we show that the value function ϑ is a viscosity solution to a Master Bellman equation on a subset of the Wasserstein space of probability measures with second order moment. The uniqueness of the viscosity solution is proved for coefficients which depend on the time and the joint law of the control process and the controlled process. The talk is based on joint work with Juan Li (SDU, Qingdao and Weihai) and Zhanxin Li (SDU, Weihai). ==== about the speaker ==== Rainer Buckdahn studied Mathematics at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena (Germany) and obtained his doctoral degree, directed by H.-J.

QFinLab Seminar - Olimpia Carradori (University of Zurich) - 5/6/2025, 12:15 @ Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandro Calvia 30 May '25

30 May '25

Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Thursday, 5 June 2025, 12.15-13.15 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus) Olimpia Carradori (University of Zurich) Title: Insurers' carbon underwriting policies Abstract: Insurance companies can influence the net-zero transition by limiting coverage for carbon-intensive projects. We study the adoption, structure, and effects of carbon underwriting policies among the world’s largest insurance groups. Using novel mine-level insurance data, we show that insurers with coal policies reduce the number of insured mines by approximately 16%, insured coal volumes by 56%, and make continued coverage significantly less likely. Implementation is often incomplete, and some insurers expand coverage despite commitments. Affected mines tend to reduce output, cut the number of employees, and are more likely to be idled in subsequent periods. Joint work with Felix von Meyerinck and Zacharias Sautner. All news can be found on the QFinLab webpage<https://www.qfinlab.polimi.it/seminars-and-meetings/>. Next seminar: Marco Tolotti (Università Ca' Foscari Venezia), 9 June 12.15.

cambio data - seminari a Pavia, 4 giugno
by Benedetta Ferrario 29 May '25

29 May '25

CAMBIO DATA: mercoledì 4 giugno (e non più 3 giugno) per i seguenti due seminari presso il Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Aziendali (aula E, piano terra) dell'Università di Pavia. *ore 13:30 *Hakima Bessaih (Florida International University) *titolo*: Dynamical systems with noisy data *abstract*: Reconstructing the state of a dynamical system from noisy observations is particularly challenging when the initial conditions are unknown. This talk focuses on synchronization-based and feedback control methods for data assimilation, which dynamically align model trajectories with observed data. Techniques such as nudging, observer-based schemes, and coupling strategies will be discussed, highlighting how they correct for uncertainty and stabilize the system in real time. Applications include chaotic systems and models governed by stochastic dynamics. *ore 14:30: *Sam Power (University of Bristol) *titolo*: Gradient Flow Methods for Statistical Computation - Trends and Trajectories *abstract*: When conducting statistical estimation and inference, it is relatively commonplace that the dominant computational burden takes the form of an optimisation task. This has long been recognised for tasks of parameter estimation, though there is an increasing recognition that other tasks of interest can be fruitfully interpreted as optimisation tasks over a space of probability measures, or even over some 'hybrid' space involving both parameters and measures. In this talk, I will survey some trends in this area, focusing on how this high-level perspective finds use in both analysis of popular existing algorithms and synthesis of novel algorithms. I will also highlight opportunities for future contributions in this fast-growing area. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

OWABI@BioInference2025 - today at * 10.30am * UK time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 29 May '25

29 May '25

Dear all, due to the conference running late, the OWABI www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi> seminars will start today at 10.30am UK time instead of 10am, as previously announced. The talks will be given by * Andrew Golightly (Durham University), Accelerating Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic models using incidence data * Henrik Häggström (Chalmers University), Simulation-based inference for stochastic nonlinear mixed-effects models with applications in systems biology with abstracts reported below. The talks will be streamed on the OWABI MS Team Channel<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3AdhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KShEETkd_w…> <https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3AdhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KShEETkd_w…> , at the link https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3adhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KSh… Meeting ID: 323 917 219 730 3 Passcode: Fk9JG3eB 1st OWABI Talk: 10.30-11am UK time Speaker: Andrew Golightly<https://www.durham.ac.uk/staff/andrew-golightly/> (Durham University) Title: Accelerating Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic models using incidence data Abstract: This work considers the case of performing Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic compartment models, using incomplete time course data consisting of incidence counts that are either the number of new infections or removals in time intervals of fixed length. The most natural Markov jump process representation of the model is eschewed for reasons of computational efficiency, and replaced by a stochastic differential equation representation. This is further approximated to give a tractable Gaussian process, that is, the linear noise approximation (LNA). Unless the observation model linking the LNA to data is both linear and Gaussian, the observed data likelihood remains intractable. Unlike previous approaches that use the LNA in this setting, two approaches for marginalising over the latent process are considered: a correlated pseudo-marginal method and analytic marginalisation via a Gaussian approximation of the noise model. These approaches are compared using synthetic data with the best performing method applied to real data consisting of removal incidence of Oak Processionary moth nests in Richmond Park, London. 2nd Seminar: 11-11.30am UK time Speaker: Henrik Häggström<https://research.chalmers.se/en/person/henhagg> (Chalmers University) Title: Simulation-based inference for stochastic nonlinear mixed-effects models with applications in systems biology Abstract: We propose a novel methodology for Bayesian inference in hierarchical mixed-effects models. By building on our work [1], we construct a simulation-based inference (SBI) framework that is highly scalable, where amortized approximations to the likelihood and the parameters posterior are first obtained, and these are rapidly refined for each individual dataset, to ultimately approximate the parameters posterior across many individuals. Unlike the current state-of-art SBI methods, which use neural networks, our approximations are expressed via Gaussian mixture models, leading to easily trainable, parsimonious yet expressive surrogate models of both the likelihood function and the posterior distribution. The methodology is exemplified via stochastic differential equation mixed-effects models to describe translation kinetics after mRNA transfection, however the methodology is general and can accommodate other types of stochastic and deterministic models. We compare our approximate inference with exact pseudomarginal inference and show that our methodology is fast and competitive. We are looking forward to seeing you at the next OWABI seminar(s), 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

Seminario di Giorgio Cipolloni alla Sapienza
by Faggionato, Alessandra 28 May '25

28 May '25

Buongiorno Martedi' 3 Giugno alle ore 14:00 in Sala di Consiglio Giorgio Cipolloni (University of Arizona) terra' il seguente seminario Title: Logarithmically correlated fields from non-Hermitian random matrices Abstract: We study the Brownian evolution of large non-Hermitian matrices and show that their log-determinant converges to a 2+1 dimensional Gaussian field in the Edwards-Wilkinson regularity class, i.e. logarithmically correlated for the parabolic distance. This gives a dynamical extension of the celebrated result by Rider and Virag (2006) proving that the fluctuations of the eigenvalues of Gaussian non-Hermitian matrices converge to a 2 dimensional log-correlated field. Our result, previously not known even in the Gaussian case, holds out of equilibrium for general matrices with i.i.d. entries. We also study the extremal values of these fields and demonstrate their logarithmic dependence on the matrix dimension.

Seminario Padova - Vanessa Jacquier
by Alberto Chiarini 27 May '25

27 May '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (30 Maggio) alle ore 14:30 in aula 2AB30 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Vanessa Jacquier (Università di Padova) Title: Discrete Nonlocal Isoperimetric Inequality and Analysis of the Long-Range Bi-Axial Ising Model Date: May 30, 2025, at 14:30, 2BC30 Abstract: We consider a generalization of the classical perimeter, referred to as the nonlocal bi-axial discrete perimeter, in which not only the external boundary of a polyomino contributes to the perimeter, but all its internal and external components. In particular, this nonlocal bi-axial perimeter is a fractional function that depends on the shape of the given geometrical figure and on a parameter λ>1, which accounts for the long-range effect. We tackle the nonlocal discrete isoperimetric problem analyzing and characterizing the minimizers within the class of polyominoes with a fixed area. The solution of this isoperimetric problem provides a rigorous foundation for studying the metastable behavior of the long-range bi-axial Ising model. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

Seminario di Amichai Painsky presso l'università Bicocca, Mercoledì 4 giugno
by Mario Beraha 27 May '25

27 May '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vi segnalo il seguente seminario in presenza presso l’università di Milano-Bicocca. 4 giugno 2025, ore 12:00, Aula Seminario 2104, Edificio U7, Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi, 8, Milano. Speaker: Amichai Painsky, Tel Aviv University Title: Large Alphabet Inference Abstract: Consider a finite sample from an unknown distribution over a large alphabet. Making inference in a large alphabet regime is a fundamental problem in statistics and related fields, which entails several basic challenges. For example, how accurately can we infer the parameters of events that do not appear in the sample? What can we say about the most frequent events in the sample? The entire underlying distribution? In this talk we introduce a novel inference scheme that tackles these challenging problems. Our proposed framework applies selective inference, as we construct confidence intervals (CIs) for the desired set of parameters. Interestingly, we show that obtained CIs are dimension-free, as they do not grow with the alphabet size. Further, we show that our CIs are (almost) tight, in the sense that they cannot be further improved without violating the prescribed coverage rate.

Short courses in GSSI trimester
by Lu Xu 27 May '25

27 May '25

Dear colleagues and friends, we are glad to announce the forthcoming short courses and seminar in GSSI in June: June 3-5 (short cours) & June 6 (seminar): Prof. Gian Michele Graf (ETH Zurich) June 10-12: Prof. Lenya Ryzhik (Stanford) Please see at the end of the email for the detailed information. Registration is free through the web form: https://indico.gssi.it/event/745/. Other courses hosted by the trimester can be found here: https://trimester2025.math.gssi.it/all_courses/. We would be grateful if you could circulate the announcement among potentially interested students and researchers. For any information do not hesitate to contact us (patterns(a)gssi.it<mailto:patterns@gssi.it>). ———————————————— Venue: Main Lecture Hall, Gran Sasso Science Institute (Viale F. Crispi 7, L’Aquila) ———————————————— Matter and topology: an overview Gian Michele Graf (ETH Zurich) 3/6 (Tue) 14:15-15:45 5/6 (Thu) 14:15-15:45 6/6 (Fri) 09:00-10:45 Topological insulators are materials that are conducting at their edge, though not in the bulk. Their essential physical properties are encoded by an index. After reviewing the historical origins, and the Quantum Hall effect in particular, the appropriate indices will be discussed (Chern numbers, index of a pair of projections), as well as bulk-edge correspondence. Thereafter symmetry protected topological insulators will be addressed. The focus will be on symmetries like time-reversal and particle-hole conjugation and, correspondingly, on the Quantum Spin Hall effect and Majorana zero modes in superconductors, in physical dimensions d=2 and 1, respectively. More broadly, the Kitaev table describes the kind of indices that occur in relation to many more symmetries, in any dimension d, and its derivation will be treated. Special topics beyond the above framework, such as time-dependent systems (Floquet or quantum pumps) or classical systems (hydrodynamics) may occur too, as time permits. ———————————————— SMAQ Seminar: Adiabatic charge pumps and Galilei covariance Gian Michele Graf (ETH Zurich) 6/6 (Fri) 14:00-15:30 The Thouless theory of quantum pumps establishes quantized transport per cycle and determines the necessary conditions. When the description is shifted to a moving reference frame, as suggested by recent experiments on ultracold gases, transported and residing charges mix. That transformation is encoded in Galilean space and time, but underlying it is one of vector bundles that may be described in a number of ways, that may or may not rely on Bloch theory. In one of them, the transformation mixes strong and weak indices of a bundle on a 2-torus; in another one, a 3-torus is at center stage; in yet another one, and somewhat informal way, the transformation is related to a paradox that astonished seafarers of centuries past. Joint work with T. Esslinger and F. Santi. ———————————————— Branching Brownian motion and knowledge diffusion: from Fisher-KPP to MFG Lenya Ryzhik (Stanford) 10/6 (Tue) 16:15-17:45 11/6 (Wed) 10:45-12:15 & 16:15-17:45 12/6 (Thu) 16:15-17:45 We will first discuss the general connection, via the voting models, between the branching Brownian motion (BBM) and the Fisher-KPP and other semilinear parabolic equations. This connection, together with the long time asymptotics of the solutions, allows, in particular, to deduce some fine properties of BBM, such as the law of large numbers and fluctuations of the limiting process near the maximum of BBM. In the second half of the lectures, we will discuss some knowledge diffusion models that arise in macroeconomics and lead to mean-field game type of problems that are also related to non-local Fisher-KPP equations. ———————————————— With our best wishes, Lu Xu Assistant Professor (RTDb) Gran Sasso Science Institute

OWABI@BioInference2025 - 29th May 10am UK time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 26 May '25

26 May '25

Dear all, the next OWABI www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi> seminar is quickly approaching, with two talks live from BioInference 2025 (https://bioinference.github.io/2025/) The seminars will be on Thursday the 29th May, at 10am UK time (note the different time with respect to previous seminars), given by * Andrew Golightly (Durham University), Accelerating Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic models using incidence data * Henrik Häggström (Chalmers University), Simulation-based inference for stochastic nonlinear mixed-effects models with applications in systems biology with abstracts reported below. The talks will be streamed on the OWABI MS Team Channel<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3AdhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KShEETkd_w…> <https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3AdhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KShEETkd_w…> , at the link https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3adhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KSh… Meeting ID: 323 917 219 730 3 Passcode: Fk9JG3eB 1st OWABI Talk: 10-10.30am UK time Speaker: Andrew Golightly<https://www.durham.ac.uk/staff/andrew-golightly/> (Durham University) Title: Accelerating Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic models using incidence data Abstract: This work considers the case of performing Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic compartment models, using incomplete time course data consisting of incidence counts that are either the number of new infections or removals in time intervals of fixed length. The most natural Markov jump process representation of the model is eschewed for reasons of computational efficiency, and replaced by a stochastic differential equation representation. This is further approximated to give a tractable Gaussian process, that is, the linear noise approximation (LNA). Unless the observation model linking the LNA to data is both linear and Gaussian, the observed data likelihood remains intractable. Unlike previous approaches that use the LNA in this setting, two approaches for marginalising over the latent process are considered: a correlated pseudo-marginal method and analytic marginalisation via a Gaussian approximation of the noise model. These approaches are compared using synthetic data with the best performing method applied to real data consisting of removal incidence of Oak Processionary moth nests in Richmond Park, London. 2nd Seminar: 10.30-11am UK time Speaker: Henrik Häggström<https://research.chalmers.se/en/person/henhagg> (Chalmers University) Title: Simulation-based inference for stochastic nonlinear mixed-effects models with applications in systems biology Abstract: We propose a novel methodology for Bayesian inference in hierarchical mixed-effects models. By building on our work [1], we construct a simulation-based inference (SBI) framework that is highly scalable, where amortized approximations to the likelihood and the parameters posterior are first obtained, and these are rapidly refined for each individual dataset, to ultimately approximate the parameters posterior across many individuals. Unlike the current state-of-art SBI methods, which use neural networks, our approximations are expressed via Gaussian mixture models, leading to easily trainable, parsimonious yet expressive surrogate models of both the likelihood function and the posterior distribution. The methodology is exemplified via stochastic differential equation mixed-effects models to describe translation kinetics after mRNA transfection, however the methodology is general and can accommodate other types of stochastic and deterministic models. We compare our approximate inference with exact pseudomarginal inference and show that our methodology is fast and competitive. We are looking forward to seeing you at the next OWABI seminar(s), 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

Seminar Alfred Galichon Thu 29 May 14:30
by Marta Catalano 22 May '25

22 May '25

Dear all, we are pleased to announce the following seminar at Luiss University. ——— Speaker: Alfred Galichon, New York University Title: Optimal Transport for Economics: Applications and Extensions When: Thu May 29, 14:30 Where: Via Lisbona 7, 00198 Roma Room: S03A Abstract: Optimal transport theory has emerged as a unifying geometric framework for a wide range of economic questions that hinge on allocating heterogeneous agents or goods in a cost-efficient way. This talk surveys recent methodological advances and shows how they sharpen three core empirical tools: - Discrete choice models – I will show how viewing demand estimation through the lens of optimal transport delivers transparent identification of taste heterogeneity and suggests computationally efficient estimation algorithms that scale to high-dimensional product spaces. - Matching models – Building on the Monge–Kantorovich formulation, I will discuss equilibrium assignments in labor and marriage markets, highlighting new existence and uniqueness results when complementarities are non-transferable. Optimal transport duality provides constructive characterizations of wage/transfer schedules and illuminates comparative-statics of policy interventions. - Quantile regression and distributional methods – Re-casting quantile regression as an optimal transport problem links conditional quantiles to integral probability metrics. This perspective leads to robust, dependence-aware estimators and facilitates inference on counterfactual distributions, with applications to wage inequality and treatment-effect heterogeneity. Throughout, I will emphasize common geometric intuition, outline open computational challenges, and sketch extensions to dynamic settings and strategic interaction. The overarching goal is to demonstrate how optimal transport offers economists a versatile, tractable, and conceptually coherent toolkit for modeling heterogeneity and market frictions across disparate empirical domains. ——— More info can be found at this link: https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/research-seminar/optimal-transport-for-ec… The seminar will be in presence only.

Eleanor Archer (Dauphine-PSL Paris) A spanning tree of a finite connected graph G is a connected subgraph of G that contains every vertex and no cycles. A well-known result of Aldous states that the scaling limit of the uniform spanning tree (UST) of the complete graph is the Brownian continuum random tree. We will discuss a recent result that shows that this is a universal phenomenon, in that the GHP scaling limit of the UST of any appropriate sequence of high dimensional graphs is the CRT. In particular, this holds for the torus in dimensions five and higher. Based on joint work with Asaf Nachmias and Matan Shalev. Scaling limit of the Aldous-Broder chain on regular graphs: the transient regime. Anita Winter (Duisburg-Essen University) A spanning tree of a finite connected graph G is a connected subgraph of G that contains every vertex and no cycles. A well-known way to generate a uniform spanning tree (UST) is the Aldous-Broder algorithm. This is a stochastic process with values in rooted trees that is driven by a random walk on G and converges as time goes to infinity towards the Brownian Continuum Tree (CRT). On the complete graph it is known that this process has a GH-scaling limit which is referred to as Root Growth with Regrafting dynamics (RGRG). We will show that this is again a universal phenomenon, i.e., it holds for the Alous-Broder chain on any appropriate sequence of regular graphs in the transient regime. In particular, this holds for the torus in dimensions five and higher. This is joint work with Osvaldo Angtuncio Hernandez and Gabriel Berzunza Ojeda. https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92945513591?pwd=zjtRwpHoO9kRyQuPPj4o186jXrvg1v.1 Meeting ID: 92945513591 Passcode: 131676

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) 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 Il prossimo appuntamento è per *venerdì 6 giugno* 2025. I relatori saranno *Sara Mazzonetto* (Université de Lorraine) e *Paolo Pigato* (Università di Roma 2 “Tor Vergata”) che parleranno di: *Diffusioni a soglia e il ruolo del tempo locale* 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://unitn.zoom.us/j/82271416480 ID riunione: 822 7141 6480 Codice d’accesso: 130382 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Sonia Mazzucchi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Sara Mazzonetto (Université de Lorraine) e Paolo Pigato (Università di Roma 2 “Tor Vergata”) TITOLO: Diffusioni a soglia e il ruolo del tempo locale RIASSUNTO: Le diffusioni a soglia sono soluzioni di equazioni differenziali stocastiche i cui coefficienti cambiano in modo discontinuo a seconda della posizione del processo rispetto a delle barriere (soglie). Sono usate nella modellizzazione di vari fenomeni, in finanza/economia, ingegneria e altre scienze. In questo seminario, daremo un’introduzione a questi processi dal punto di vista matematico e parleremo delle loro applicazioni. Considereremo poi alcuni problemi di inferenza dei parametri, discutendo risultati asintotici sotto diverse ipotesi e sottolineando le difficoltà tecniche provenienti in particolare dalla connessione tra discontinuità, moto browniano skew e tempi locali. .%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Seminari online su applicazioni della probabilità in economia (Save the dates)
by Enrico Scalas 20 May '25

20 May '25

Il gruppo UMI PRISMA organizza una serie di tre seminari online, in inglese, sulle "Applicazioni della Probabilità all’Economia". La serie di seminari è specificamente organizzata da: - Giulio Bottazzi (Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna) - Alessandro Calvia (Politecnico di Milano) - Marco Capaldo (RWTH Aachen) - Enrico Scalas (Sapienza Università di Roma) I seminari sono in preparazione alla Summer School of Mathematics for Economic and Social Sciences: https://indico.sns.it/event/105/overview I dettagli sui link saranno diffusi in prossimità degli eventi sul sito web del gruppo UMI PRISMA: https://umi-prisma.polito.it/ e su questa lista. I seminari saranno i seguenti: 26 giugno 2025 ore 14 Speaker: Marta Leocata, LUISS Guido Carli, Department of AI, Data and Decision Sciences Title: Two applications of multi-agent models in economic and social systems Abstract: In this talk, we present an overview of mathematical models that capture the behavior of myopic agents—who rely on short-term, local information in their decision-making—and strategic agents, who consider the long-term consequences of their actions within interactive environments. These concepts will be illustrated through two applications in economic and social contexts: a multi-agent model for the co-evolution of preferences and actions in the emergence of social norms (joint work with Michele Aleandri, LUISS, and Laura Marcon, CNR), and a Mean Field Game approach to the Emission Trading System (joint work with Giulia Livieri, LSE, and Gianmarco Del Sarto, TU Darmstadt). -- 10 luglio 2025 ore 14 Speaker: Annamaria Olivieri, University of Parma (Italy), Department of Economics and Management Title: Modelling Stochastic Mortality for Life Insurance Applications Abstract: In the closing decade of the last century, a generalized decrease in mortality rates has been reported in many countries, especially at adult and old ages, which was highly unanticipated. Until then, the modelling of mortality for insurance applications was mainly deterministic since, according to the classical insurance paradigm, in sufficiently large and homogeneous pools there is a high probability to achieve an outcome in line with what expected. Uncertain mortality trends are against such an argument. Net of the effect of the pandemic, the decreasing trend in mortality has persisted to current times, at a pace that remains random. Mortality has a clear impact on the liabilities of the life insurance (and pension) industry and an adequate mortality forecasting is among the key elements of an effective risk management design for a life insurer (or a pension fund), especially when longevity benefits are involved. Starting from the end of the last century, stochastic mortality modelling has become a core topic of actuarial science and many studies have greatly enriched the actuarial literature. In this presentation, the main characteristics of mortality trends are first summarized, with particular regard to the Italian population. Then, mortality and longevity risks are defined. Finally, a review of the main stochastic mortality models developed for actuarial purposes is provided. -- 17 luglio 2025 ore 14 Speaker: Sara Merino Aceituno, Faculty of Mathematics, University of Vienna (Austria) Title: Large particle limit for jump processes Abstract: In this short course, we will study interacting particle systems whose dynamics are governed either by continuous-time Markov processes (such as coagulation models) or piecewise deterministic Markov processes (such as run-and-tumble dynamics). Our starting point will be the martingale formulation of these systems. The primary objective is to derive equations that approximate the behavior of the system as the number of particles becomes large.

Seminario Padova - Matteo Sfragara
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 19 May '25

19 May '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (23 Maggio) in aula 2AB45 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Matteo Sfragara (Università di Padova) Title: Welcome seminar on random growth models Date: May 23, 2025, at 14:30, 2AB45 Abstract: In this talk I will give an overview of my recent research activity on random growth models, mostly carried during my postdoc time at Stockholm University. We will first talk about the connection between chaos and concentration in models like first-passage percolation (FPP) and last-passage percolation (LPP), and we prove that they exhibit a chaotic behavior. This extends previous work on the topic, and illustrates that this is a phenomenon that can be expected more widely. The notion of ‘chaos' refers to the sensitivity of the optimal path (geodesic) when exposed to a slight perturbation. We will then shift our focus on competing first passage percolation on random graphs generated by the configuration model, where two infection types compete to invade the vertices in the graph spreading via nearest neighbors. Assuming that the degrees follow a power-law distribution with exponent τ, we present results in the case of finite variance (τ>3), in the case of finite mean but infinite variance (2<τ<3) and in the case of infinite mean (1<τ<2): is it possible for the two infection types to coexist as the number of vertices n tends to infinity? I will conclude with a brief mention to some ongoing research projects. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

In these models, particles interact via binary updates, exchanging a conserved quantity that can be interpreted as mass, energy, or momentum. Examples in this class include, among others, Kac’s walk, the Kipnis–Marchioro–Presutti model, and the Averaging process. Although these processes are Markovian, many standard techniques for analyzing finite-state Markov chains are not directly applicable due to the continuum nature of the configuration space, the presence of conservation laws, or singular constraints. We will provide an overview of the models in this class, with particular emphasis on spectral gaps and mixing times. The talk is based on a series of joint works with Pietro Caputo (Rome) and Seonwoo Kim (Seoul). https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92945513591?pwd=zjtRwpHoO9kRyQuPPj4o186jXrvg1v.1 Meeting ID: 92945513591 Passcode: 131676

Nicos Georgiou in Rome: The tree-TASEP on Galton-Watson trees
by Enrico Scalas 12 May '25

12 May '25

Buonasera, ricordo il seminario di probabilità di Nicos Georgiou che si terrà giovedì prossimo al Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche di Sapienza alle ore 15:00. Riporto l'annuncio completo qui sotto. Grazie per l'attenzione e cordiali saluti, Enrico Scalas -- AVVISO DI SEMINARIO Il 15 maggio 2024 dalle ore 15, in aula 34 del Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche (DSS), Sapienza Università di Roma, nell'ambito dei Seminari di Probabilità del DSS, il Prof. Nicos Georgiou, University of Sussex, Regno Unito, terrà un seminario dal titolo -- The tree-TASEP on Galton-Watson trees Abstract: We define a totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on trees, where the particles enter the tree from a reservoir attached to the root. Particles can only jump following edges on the tree and only if they are jumping away from the root, to a non-occupied vertex. We are interested in two different aspects of this particle system. First we want to investigate the current of particles across a given generation at a specific time, when we start from an initially empty initial condition. Second, we would like to obtain some information about the current across a given ray. Both answers depend heavily on our choice of jump rates for the particles and the tree geometry and different regimes of behaviour will be presented during the talk. Our results rely on a crucial estimate of the time it takes for the trajectories of the first N particles to decouple in the tree. This is joint work with N. Gantert (TUM) and D. Schmid (Columbia) -- Tutte le persone interessate sono invitate a partecipare. Enrico Scalas

Seminar Announcement at Sapienza University of Rome (Max Sauerbrey)
by Antonio Agresti 12 May '25

12 May '25

Dear Colleagues, With this, I would like to advertise the following talk by Max Sauerbrey (MPI Leipzig), which will be held at Sapienza University of Rome in "Sala di Consiglio" at *14:00* on *Tuesday*, *May 20th*. Kind regards, Antonio Agresti *Max Sauerbrey* (Max Planck Institute, Leipzig) *Title:* Solution theory for the stochastic thin film equation with spatially colored noise *Abstract:* We present recent results on the local in time well-posedness of stochastic thin-film equations driven by Gaussian noise, which is white in time and colored in space, with strictly positive initial data. After introducing the underlying model, we state the local well-posedness and instantaneous regularization result in any space dimension, including corresponding blow-up criteria. Then we comment on the one-dimensional situation in which global in time well-posedness can be obtained under consideration of intermolecular van der Waals forces between the fluid and the substrate. The talk is based on joint work with Antonio Agresti: https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.12652.

Il giorno 13 maggio 2025, alle ore 11:30, in SP2L, aula S. Rionero, del Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni R. Caccioppoli dell'Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, il Prof. Kei Kobayashi, Department of Mathematics, Fordham University, terrà il seguente seminario: "_Numerical approximation of stochastic di__ﬀ__erential equations modeling subdi__ﬀ__usion"_ Abstract: Standard Brownian motion composed with a random time change given by an inverse subordinator has been used to model subdiﬀusions, where particles spread more slowly than the classical Brownian particles. The time-changed Brownian motion is neither Markovian nor Gaussian, and standard procedures known for normal diﬀusions do not generally work. This talk gives an overview of the framework of numerical approximation schemes for the time-changed Brownian motion and its associated stochastic diﬀerential equations, along with the rates of convergence.

Seminario di Zongchen Chen a Roma Tre il 15 maggio alle 14:30
by Pietro Caputo 08 May '25

08 May '25

Giovedì 15 maggio alle ore 14.30 Zongchen Chen (Georgia Institute of Technology) terrà il seminario Title: *Counting Random k-SAT Near the Satisfiability Threshold*. Abstract: We present efficient counting and sampling algorithms for random k-SAT when the clause density is at most 2^k/poly(k). In particular, the exponential term 2^k matches the satisfiability threshold O(2^k) for the existence of a solution and the (conjectured) algorithmic threshold 2^k (\ln k)/k for efficiently finding a solution. At the heart of our approach is a refined analysis of the recent novel coupling procedure introduced by Wang and Yin. Our new analysis utilizes the structural properties of random constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). It provides a universal framework for efficient counting and sampling for random atomic CSPs, including, for example, random hypergraph colorings. At the same time, we obtain as immediate corollaries several important probabilistic properties of random CSPs that have been widely studied but rarely justified, including replica symmetry and non-reconstruction. Joint work with Aditya Lonkar, Chunyang Wang, Kuan Yang, and Yitong Yin. Il seminario si svolgerà presso il Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica di Roma Tre, Via della Vasca Navale 84, Aula A. -- Pietro Caputo Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica via della vasca navale 84, 00146 Roma, Italy. www.mat.uniroma3.it/users/caputo

Upcoming seminars<https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar/future-seminars>: May 14: Matteo Quattropani (Roma Tre University), Federico Sau (University of Milan) May 21: Eleanor Archer (Dauphine-PSL Paris), Anita Winter (Duisburg-Essen University) ----------------------- Introduction to determinantal random hypertrees Matthew Kahle (Ohio State University) Abstract: A hypertree is a simplicial complex that serves as a higher-dimensional analogue of a tree. We will discuss a natural model of random hypertree, inspired by enumerative work of Kalai and probabilistic work of Lyons. This model is a higher-dimensional analogue of a uniform spanning tree on a complete graph. In this talk, we will take some time to carefully motivate and define the model, and then to discuss some of its probabilistic properties. Finally, we will overview some results of Andrew Newman's and mine about the basic properties of 2-dimensional determinantal random hypertrees. In particular, we will discuss torsion in homology and hyperbolicity of the fundamental group. I will not assume any topological prerequisites, and will aim to make the talk as self contained as possible. Determinantal hypertrees and graph limits András Mészáros (Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics) Abstract: We discuss how graph limit theory can provide us with useful tools to understand random simplicial complexes. Extendending the result of Grimmett on the local weak limit of uniform random spanning trees of complete graphs, we describe the local weak limit of determinantal hypertrees. Relying on the large deviation principle for the Erdős–Rényi random graph by Chatterjee and Varadhan, we give an upper bound on the mod 2 homology of 2-dimensional determinantal hypertrees. If time permits, we discuss conjectures on the distribution of the p-torsion of the first integral homology group of 2-dimensional determinantal hypertrees. https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92945513591?pwd=zjtRwpHoO9kRyQuPPj4o186jXrvg1v.1 Meeting ID: 92945513591 Passcode: 131676

Dear all, the next OWABI www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi> is going to be quite special, consisting of two selected talks livestreamed from BioInference 2025 (https://bioinference.github.io/2025/) a conference on mathematical modelling and inference on (broadly speaking) biological system. The seminars will be on Thursday the 29th May, at 10am UK time (note the different time with respect to previous seminars), given by * Andrew Golightly (Durham University), Accelerating Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic models using incidence data * Henrik Häggström (Chalmers University), Simulation-based inference for stochastic nonlinear mixed-effects models with applications in systems biology with abstracts reported below. The talks will be streamed on the OWABI MS Team Channel<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3AdhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KShEETkd_w…> <https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3AdhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KShEETkd_w…> , at the link https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3adhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KSh… Meeting ID: 323 917 219 730 3 Passcode: Fk9JG3eB 1st OWABI Talk: 10-10.30am UK time Speaker: Andrew Golightly<https://www.durham.ac.uk/staff/andrew-golightly/> (Durham University) Title: Accelerating Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic models using incidence data Abstract: This work considers the case of performing Bayesian inference for stochastic epidemic compartment models, using incomplete time course data consisting of incidence counts that are either the number of new infections or removals in time intervals of fixed length. The most natural Markov jump process representation of the model is eschewed for reasons of computational efficiency, and replaced by a stochastic differential equation representation. This is further approximated to give a tractable Gaussian process, that is, the linear noise approximation (LNA). Unless the observation model linking the LNA to data is both linear and Gaussian, the observed data likelihood remains intractable. Unlike previous approaches that use the LNA in this setting, two approaches for marginalising over the latent process are considered: a correlated pseudo-marginal method and analytic marginalisation via a Gaussian approximation of the noise model. These approaches are compared using synthetic data with the best performing method applied to real data consisting of removal incidence of Oak Processionary moth nests in Richmond Park, London. 2nd Seminar: 10.30-11am UK time Speaker: Henrik Häggström<https://research.chalmers.se/en/person/henhagg> (Chalmers University) Title: Simulation-based inference for stochastic nonlinear mixed-effects models with applications in systems biology Abstract: We propose a novel methodology for Bayesian inference in hierarchical mixed-effects models. By building on our work [1], we construct a simulation-based inference (SBI) framework that is highly scalable, where amortized approximations to the likelihood and the parameters posterior are first obtained, and these are rapidly refined for each individual dataset, to ultimately approximate the parameters posterior across many individuals. Unlike the current state-of-art SBI methods, which use neural networks, our approximations are expressed via Gaussian mixture models, leading to easily trainable, parsimonious yet expressive surrogate models of both the likelihood function and the posterior distribution. The methodology is exemplified via stochastic differential equation mixed-effects models to describe translation kinetics after mRNA transfection, however the methodology is general and can accommodate other types of stochastic and deterministic models. We compare our approximate inference with exact pseudomarginal inference and show that our methodology is fast and competitive. We are looking forward to seeing you at the next OWABI seminar(s), 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

Seminario Wojciech Górecki - Politecnico di Milano - 12 Maggio 2025
by Luca Scarpa 06 May '25

06 May '25

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Lunedì 12 Maggio 2025, ore 11:00. Aula Seminari III Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Wojciech Górecki, Università di Pavia. Title: Fundamental bounds for the metrology of open quantum systems. Abstract. Quantum mechanics allows for enhanced measurement precision beyond classical limits by harnessing entanglement and/or long-time coherence. However, these resources are highly sensitive to noise, making their use in open quantum systems particularly challenging. At the same time, optimizing metrological protocolsกชanalytically or numericallyกชbecomes increasingly difficult as system size and measurement complexity grow. Nonetheless, for quantum systems governed by a master equation, it is possible to derive fundamental, protocol-independent bounds on achievable precision. These bounds provide an objective benchmark to assess existing strategies and identify potential for improvement. In this seminar, I will present these fundamental bounds, first introduced by A. Fujiwara and H. Imai and later extended by R. Demkowicz-Dobrzaจฝski, S. Zhou, L. Jiang, among others. I will illustrate the framework through examples involving interferometry and cavity parameter estimation under photon loss, with particular attention to critical metrology and continuous measurement in the steady-state regime.

Castelnuovo di Sapienza Università di Roma *Andrea Rinaldo (École Polytechnique Fédérale Lausanne & Università di Padova)Clima, acqua, malattie e solidarietá nel mondo che cambia* Sommario Il clima sta cambiando rapidamente. Dobbiamo farlo anche noi, non considerando scontati privilegi consolidati dal tempo, usi e tradizioni dei luoghi, organizzazioni politiche e sociali, e le espressioni della sensibilità collettiva. Serviranno letture attente del governo dell’acqua, riflettendo su Ambiente naturale e costruito intorno a noi, e ripensamenti del rapporto fra risorse e solidarietà, e sui modi e i tempi della giustizia distributiva nella gestione delle risorse idriche. La mia tesi: i grandi temi di salvaguardia legati al governo dell’acqua, e dunque alla metastoria, riguardano sia il Nord che del Sud del mondo, e ci obbligano a riflettere sulla relazione fra trasformazioni del paesaggio, usi del suolo e dinamica delle risorse naturali, ma anche su un’etica dello sviluppo che tenga conto di un’equa distribuzione dei privilegi e delle risorse. Il seminario si propone in particolare di evidenziare il filo rosso che lega la descrizione matematica di processi idrologici ed epidemiologici, e della geometria della natura nel paesaggio fluviale, a temi centrali nella valutazione della ricchezza e della povertà delle nazioni e nella economia ambientale contemporanea.

Seminario PRISMA lunedì 5 maggio 2025 - C. Orrieri & L. Scarpa
by Sonia Mazzucchi 05 May '25

05 May '25

Buongiorno, ricordiamo a tutti gli interessati che oggi lunedì 5 maggio dalle 16 alle 17:17 si svolgerà il periodico seminario online del gruppo UMI-PRISMA. 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 I relatori di oggi pomeriggio saranno Carlo Orrieri (Università di Pavia) e Luca Scarpa (Politecnico di Milano) che parleranno di: Equazioni stocastiche doppiamente nonlineari e relativi problemi di regolarizzazione per rumore 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://unitn.zoom.us/j/88514293418 <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://unitn.zoom.us/j/88514293418&sa=D&sourc…> ID riunione: 885 1429 3418 Codice d’accesso: 236100 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Sonia Mazzucchi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Carlo Orrieri (Università di Pavia) e Luca Scarpa (Politecnico di Milano) TITOLO: Equazioni stocastiche doppiamente nonlineari e relativi problemi di regolarizzazione per rumore RIASSUNTO: Nella prima parte del seminario verranno introdotte alcune classi di equazioni di evoluzione in relazione alla modellizzazione di problemi di transizione di fase. Dal punto di vista matematico tali equazioni sono caratterizzate da una dinamica doppiamente nonlineare che tipicamente non ne assicura la buona positura. In particolare, l’unicità delle soluzioni viene a mancare. Questo motiva l’introduzione e l'analisi di opportune formulazioni stocastiche per tali modelli, nell’ottica di ottenere effetti di regolarizzazione per rumore. Nella seconda parte il problema di regolarizzazione per rumore verrà inquadrato nel contesto più generale di equazioni di evoluzione stocastiche con drift singolare e verranno presentati alcuni risultati di unicità. L'applicabilità di tali tecniche identificherà naturalmente un concetto di criticità che porrà le equazioni doppiamente nonlineari in un regime supercritico. Per queste verrà fornito infine un risultato parziale di stabilità per rumore. I risultati presentati nei seminari sono stati ottenuti in collaborazione con F. Bertacco (Imperial College London) e U. Stefanelli (Università di Vienna). %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Dear all, I am glad to announce and invite you to the following seminar Statistics Seminars 2024/2025 Thursday May 8th, 2025 at 14.30 Room IV in Via Belle Arti, 41, Department of Statistics, University of Bologna or online on Microsoft Teams (here below you can find the link) “A world of copulas” Prof. Roberto Ghiselli Ricci (Università Ca‘ Foscari Venezia) Abstract A journey into the most outstanding family of aggregation functions given by the Copulas. They are particularly intriguing, because, on the one hand, they offer a theoretically fertile field of study with deep connections with different branches of mathematics such as Differential Calculus and even Group Theory, and, on the other hand, as consequence of the seminal Sklar's Theorem (1969), they are an essential tool for building refined stochastic models able to satisfy properties required by real problems.

SPASS Seminar: Theodore Drivas
by Mario Maurelli 02 May '25

02 May '25

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi (abstract below): *Vibrodynamics of constrained mechanical systems* by *Theodore D. Drivas* (Stony Brook University) The seminar will take place on *TUE, 06.05.2025* at *9:00 CEST *(mind unusual time) in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at this link <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. Best regards Mario Maurelli https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass&source…> -------------------------------------------- *Title: Vibrodynamics of constrained mechanical systems* *Abstract: We study the effect of rapid vibration of constraining surfaces of arbitrary codimension on a confined mechanical particle. The slow dynamics experience an effective potential force coming from the geometry of the vibrating surface, which can introduce new equilibria and change stability character of existing ones. A classical example is Kapitza's stabilization of the inverted pendulum with a vibrating pivot. After developing this formalism for finite dimensional systems, we generalize to infinite dimensions by analogy and study the resulting vibrogenic forces for inextensible threads and incompressible fluids. The thread effectively becomes elastic, and the fluid evolves as a variant of the incompressible inhomogeneous system. This is joint work with D. Glukhovskiy.*

Moro 5, 00185 Roma Speaker: Lucia Caramellino (Univ. Roma Tor Vergata) Title: Regularization lemmas and applications Abstract: The talk focuses on some regularization results that allow one to prove estimates in the total variation distance, typically by upgrading already known estimates holding in the Wasserstein distance. In all this, tools from Malliavin calculus will play a crucial role. Some applications will then be discussed. The talk is mainly based on the papers "Regularization lemmas and convergence in total variation", with V. Bally and G. Poly (EJP 2020), and "Convergence in Total Variation for nonlinear functionals of random hyperspherical harmonics", with G. Giorgio and M.

In order to build our numerical scheme, we put forward a new representation of the PDE solution by using a classical probabilistic representation of the gradient. Then, based on this representation, we propose a fully implementable numerical scheme using a Picard iteration procedure, a grid space discretization and a Monte-Carlo approximation. Up to a limiting technical condition that guarantees the contraction of the Picard procedure, we obtain an upper bound for the numerical error. We also provide some numerical experiments that show the efficiency of this approach for small dimensions. -- Gianmario Tessitore Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/s…> Venerdì 09/05/2025, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ 12.00-13.00 Speaker: Marc HOFFMAN (UNIVERSITÉ PARIS-DAUPHINE) Title: some questions in mathematical statistics linked to evolution PDEs Abstract: Evolution models in applications are often analyzed via PDEs, interpreted as a macroscopic description of the phenomenon of interest. This classical approach is nevertheless challenged by empirical data for model validation, especially when the phenomenon of interest does not depend on well established physical laws. In particular the statistical inference of parameters (estimation and testing) requires an underlying stochastic model. This is usually treated via some addition of noise, sometimes artificially and always a bit arbitrarily. Relying on some specific examples that appear in population biology (cell growth, human demography) or agent-based models in economy, we propose an alternative approach. Starting from a microscopic stochastic model that can be partially observed and for which the PDE of interest is a mean-field limit, the intrinsic statistical noise becomes the fluctuation between the empirical measure of the particle system and the solution of the PDE. We will outline a rigorous statistical program in this setting and will give some results on McKean-Vlasov models that shall emphasize the interest of our approach. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile il seminario anche in streaming: chiunque volesse collegarsi è pregato di inviare una email entro *mercoledì 07/05/2025* 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.

QFinLab Seminar - Alessandro Sbuelz (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore) - 7/5/2025, 12:15 @ Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandro Calvia 30 Apr '25

30 Apr '25

Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Wednesday, 7 May 2025, 12.15-13.15 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus) Alessandro Sbuelz (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore) Title: The Zero-Theta Hedge Contract. Abstract: We examine long-dated asset valuation under systematic and idiosyncratic risk, driven by extreme trajectories. By introducing the zero-Theta hedge contract, a negative-Delta derivative security with a maturity-independent price, we study investor attitudes toward systematic long-run crashes. Declining expected payoff with maturity signal strong crash aversion. The contract aids in decomposing the stochastic discount factor, shedding light on long-run crash risk premia. Even for volatile assets whose price comes from idiosyncratic rallies, systematic long-run crashes remain central to long-run risk valuation. Based on a joint work with Anna Battauz and Marzia De Donno. Next seminars: Olimpia Carradori (University of Zurich), 5 June 12.00. Marco Tolotti (Università Ca' Foscari Venezia), 9 June 12.15. All news can be found on the QFinLab webpage<https://www.qfinlab.polimi.it/seminars-and-meetings/>. The organizers: Michele Azzone and Alessandro Calvia.

Seminario Padova e Alumni Award - Jacopo Borga
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 30 Apr '25

30 Apr '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che lunedì prossimo (5 Maggio) in aula 1BC45 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Jacopo Borga (MIT) <https://www.jacopoborga.com/> https://www.jacopoborga.com Title: Lattice Yang-Mills theory in the large N limit via sums over surfaces Date: May 5, 2025, at 14:30, room 1BC45 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: 1. A rigorous formula in terms of embedded bipartite planar maps of Wilson loop expectations in the large N limit, in any dimension d. 2. 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 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. Segnaliamo inoltre che Jacopo Borga terrà un seminario divulgativo e riceverà l'Alumni Special Award dell’Università di Padova lunedì, 5 maggio in aula 1A150, Torre Archimede Programma: * 16:30.

Short course by M. Gubinelli
by Lu Xu 29 Apr '25

29 Apr '25

Dear colleagues and friends, we are glad to announce the following short course in GSSI during May 12-16: ———————————————— The stochastic quantisation of the fractional $\Phi^4$ model in the full subcritical domain Lecturer: Prof. Massimiliano Gubinelli (University of Oxford) Venue: Main Lecture Hall, Gran Sasso Science Institute (Viale F. Crispi 7, L’Aquila) 13/5 (Mon) 14:15-15:45 14/5 (Tue) 16:15-17:45 15/5 (Wed) 10:45-12:15 16/5 (Thu) 10:45-12:15 I will present a complete proof of stochastic quantisation of a family of subcritical (i.e. superrenormalizable) scalar Euclidean QFT via the flow equation method of Duch. Euclidean QFT are measures on distributional fields which should be considered natural generalisation of Markov processes in higher dimension and which play a fundamental role in the rigorous construction of relativistic quantum fields. Stochastic quantisation is a method to realise such measures as pushforward of Gaussian measures via maps obtained by solving PDEs with random sources. In the last 10 years our understanding of the stochastic quantisation method has progressed greatly giving us new methods to attach the problems of EQFTs. The aim of the minicourse is to present, in most of the details, the various aspects of the construction of a particular class of EQFTs showcasing how probabilistic arguments merge with PDE estimates and renormalization group ideas. If the time permits I will also discuss the many open problems and fundamental issues in our understanding of these and more challenging models. ———————————————— Registration is free through the website: https://indico.gssi.it/event/745/. Other courses hosted by the trimester can be found in https://trimester2025.math.gssi.it/all_courses/.

Dear colleagues and friends, as part of the GSSI intensive trimester “Particles, Fluids and Patterns: analytical and computational challenges”, we are glad to announce 3 short courses in April: April 14-17: Prof. Makiko Sasada (Tokyo) April 28-30: Prof. Oriane Blondel (Lyon) and Prof. Alessandro Giuliani (Rome) Please see at the end of the email for the detailed place and time, titles and abstracts. Other courses hosted by the trimester can be found in https://trimester2025.math.gssi.it/all_courses/. Registration is free through the web form: https://indico.gssi.it/event/745/. We would be grateful if you could circulate the announcement among potentially interested students and researchers. For any information do not hesitate to contact us (patterns(a)gssi.it) ———————————————— Venue for all courses: Main Lecture Hall, Gran Sasso Science Institute (Viale F. Crispi 7, L’Aquila) ———————————————— Introduction to probabilistic aspects of integrable systems Lecturer: Makiko Sasada (The University of Tokyo) 14/4 (Mon) 9:00-10:30 15/4 (Tue) 14:15-15:45 16/4 (Wed) 10:45-12:15 17/4 (Thu) 9:00-10:30 In recent years, there has been growing interest in the study of integrable systems from the perspectives of statistical mechanics and probability theory. The theory of generalized hydrodynamics, developed by mathematical physicists, suggests that the macroscopic behavior of integrable systems is highly universal. To mathematically substantiate such theories with concrete models, a type of cellular automaton called the box-ball system (BBS) has been extensively studied by probabilists in recent years. The BBS, which exhibits solitonic behavior, has been studied from various viewpoints, such as tropical geometry, combinatorics, and representation theory, over 30 years. However, research from the probabilistic perspective began only about 10 years ago. Recently, probabilistic approaches, including the application of the Pitman transform, analysis of invariant measures, and scaling limits, have rapidly expanded. These have revealed new connections between probability theory and classical integrable systems, showing that the macroscopic behavior of integrable systems exhibits a universality distinct from that of chaotic systems. In this lecture, I will introduce these new research topics, mainly focusing on the box-ball system, and present the rigorous results obtained in the past several years, starting from the basic concepts. ———————————————— Long range order in atomistic models for solids Lecturer: Alessandro Giuliani (Rome Tre) 28/4 (Mon) 16:15-17:45 29/4 (Tue) 16:15-17:45 30/4 (Wed) 10:45-12:15 & 14:15-15:45 The emergence of long range order at low temperatures in atomistic systems with continuous symmetry is a fundamental, yet poorly understood phenomenon in physics. To address this challenge I will introduce a discrete microscopic model for an elastic crystal with dislocations in three dimensions, originally proposed by Ariza and Ortiz. The model is rich enough to support some realistic features of three-dimensional dislocation theory, most notably grains and the Read-Shockley law for grain boundaries, which I will review and show how to derive microscopically in the context of the Ariza-Ortiz model, at least in a simple, explicit geometry. I will also explain how to analyze the model at positive temperatures, in terms of a Gibbs distribution with energy function given by the Ariza–Ortiz Hamiltonian plus a contribution from the dislocation cores. The main result is that the model exhibits Long Range Positional Order (LRPO) at low temperatures. Its proof is based on the tools of discrete exterior calculus, together with cluster expansion techniques. In this mini-course I will introduce these methods and explain how to combine them in order to prove existence of LRPO. Time permitting, I will discuss some perspectives about the extension of these ideas and methods to two dimensions. Based on joint work with Florian Theil. ———————————————— Fluctuations in exclusion processes Lecturer: Oriane Blondel (University of Lyon 1) 28/4 (Mon) 10:45-12:15 29/4 (Tue) 9:00-10:30 & 14:15-15:45 30/4 (Wed) 16:15-17:45 We will focus on weakly asymmetric exclusion processes on the line or half-line, and investigate their fluctuations out of equilibrium. We will review the various tools used in proving convergence to the KPZ equation in the strategy initiated in [Bertini-Giacomin ‘97] and discuss how they can be adapted to the singular initial condition that arises when one considers fluctuations of the facilitated exclusion process at the interface. ———————————————— With our best wishes, Lu Xu Assistant Professor (RTDb) Gran Sasso Science Institute
