SMF: François Delarue at Milano-Bicocca (Apr 18, 2024)
by Maurizia Rossi 10 Apr '24

10 Apr '24

Dear colleagues, I am glad to announce the following talk which is part of the *"Seminario Matematico e Fisico di Milano" *activities. Speaker: *François Delarue* (Univ. Côte d'Azur) Title:* Mean field control and games. Some prospects. * *Time and place:* April 18, 2024 - 2:00pm-3:00pm - building U5/room 3014 Dept. of Mathematics and Applications, Univ. Milano-Bicocca. *Abstract:* I will first give a brief overview of the notion of mean-field control and games. In particular, I will focus on the Eulerian formulation, through the notion of master equation, which is a nonlinear PDE on the space of probability measures. This PDE is notoriously difficult to solve, at least in a classical sense, except in cases presenting a form of convexity or monotonicity in the argument of the measure. I will then present two problems outside the convex/monotonic framework: (i) non-convex mean-field control problems and their particle approximation, (ii) mean-field games subject to certain non-standard forms of common noise. Best wishes, Maurizia Rossi -- Maurizia Rossi Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca https://mauriziarossi.wordpress.com

An afternoon on the spectral theory of pseudo-differential operators
by Enrico Scalas 08 Apr '24

08 Apr '24

Dear Colleagues, On 9 april 2024 starting from 14:00 in room 34, 4th floor of the Department of Statistical Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, (building CU002), two seminars on non-local operators will take place. Here is the program. Please feel free to inform interested people. Best regards, Enrico Scalas -- 14:00 - 15:00 Atsuhide Ishida (Tokyo University of Science, Tokyo, Japan) Mourre inequality for non-local Schrödinger operators We consider the Mourre inequality for the following self-adjoint operator $H=\Psi(-\Delta/2)+V$ acting on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$, where $\Psi: [0,\infty)\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is an increasing function, $\Delta$ is the Laplacian and $V: \mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is an interaction potential. Mourre inequality immediately yields the discreteness and finite multiplicity of the eigenvalues. Moreover, the Mourre inequality together with the limiting absorption principle can be used to show absence of the singular continuous spectrum. In addition, Mourre inequality is also used for the proof of the minimal velocity estimate that plays an important role in scattering theory. In this talk, we report that Mourre inequality holds under a general $\Psi$ and $V$ by choosing the conjugate operator $A=(p \cdot x + x \cdot p)/2$ with $p= - i \nabla$, and that the discreteness and finite multiplicity of the eigenvalues hold. This talk is a joint work with J. Lőrinczi (Alfred Rényi Institute) and I. Sasaki (Shinshu University). 15:00 - 15:30 Coffee break 15:30 - 16:30 József Lőrinczi (Alfred Rényi Institute, Budapest, Hungary) Embedded eigenvalues for a class of non-local Schrödinger operators Generally, the spectrum of a non-local Schrödinger operator may be rather intricate, even when they are self-adjoint operators. In this talk I plan to discuss some explicit cases when positive or zero eigenvalues occur, and also address the problem more generally, aiming to describe potentials which can give rise to zero eigenvalues for massive or massless (fractional) relativistic Schrodinger operators. If time permits, I intend to explain how random processes with jumps can be used to analyse such properties. 16:30 - 18:00 Discussion time

I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82939128330 <https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82939128330> Meeting ID: 829 3912 8330 Vi aspettiamo numerosi, Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Emanuela Sasso (Università di Genova) e Federico Girotti (Politecnico di Milano) TITOLO: Semigruppi quantistici markoviani: decoerenza, ricorrenza e accessibilità RIASSUNTO: I semigruppi markoviani quantistici sono essenzialmente semigruppi di operatori positivi su algebre di operatori con le opportune proprietà di continuità e che rafforzano la positività. Appaiono nella letteratura fisica e fisico-matematica alla fine degli anni '60 con il nome di semigruppi dinamici quantistici nella modellizzazione e nell'analisi dei sistemi aperti in meccanica quantistica. Tuttavia, dal punto di vista matematico, costituiscono la naturale generalizzazione dei semigruppi markoviani classici, infatti questi ultimi sono semigruppi di operatori definiti su un'algebra di funzioni, cioè un'algebra di operatori che commutano tra loro. Il modo più naturale per descrivere un sistema quantistico è un’algebra di Von Neumann e la sua evoluzione come una famiglia di operatori debole*-continui, che formino un semigruppo e che abbiano la proprietà di markovianità. Se il sistema è chiuso allora la sua evoluzione è reversibile, altrimenti se interagisce con l’ambiente allora ci potrebbe essere una parte diffusiva. In Fisica, si parla di “decoerenza” quando solo una parte del sistema evolve in maniera automorfica (l’algebra priva di decoerenza, appunto) e una parte “scompare” per tempi lunghi. La nostra ricerca si è focalizzata a lungo su quale definizione di decoerenza sia più adatta e se è possibile trovare condizioni necessarie e sufficienti per il suo verificarsi. Nello studio dei processi (semigruppi) di Markov classici sono fondamentali le nozioni di ricorrenza e comunicazione tra insiemi di stati; mostreremo come questi concetti siano stati generalizzati nel caso noncommutativo e discuteremo alcune delle loro proprietà e relazioni. Particolare attenzione sarà dato al caso in cui l’algebra su cui agisce il semigruppo sia l’insieme di tutti gli operatori lineari limitati che agiscono su uno spazio di Hilbert. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 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://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the "B. de Finetti Risk Seminars, Milano Lectures on the Mathematical Theory of Economics and Finance”, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following lecture: Marcel Nutz Columbia University (New York) Title: Entropic Selection in Optimal Transport Abstract: The optimal transport problem can admit many solutions, for instance when the cost function is the Euclidean distance on R^d (Monge's problem). On the other hand, entropically regularized optimal transport (EOT) always has a unique optimizer. It is a longstanding open problem whether EOT selects some particular optimal transport coupling in the vanishing regularization limit, and what that coupling would look like. We provide a surprising answer for Monge's problem in dimension d > 1. (Joint work with Chenyang Zhong.)

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 12 Aprile 2024, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terranno i seguenti *2 seminari*: ------------------------------------------------ *11.00-12.00* Speaker: Varun Jog (University of Cambridge, UK) Title: *The sample complexity of simple binary hypothesis testing* Abstract: The sample complexity of simple binary hypothesis testing is the smallest number of i.i.d. samples required to distinguish between two distributions p and q such that the Type-I and Type-II errors are smaller than some pre-specified thresholds α and β, respectively. Our main contribution is deriving, under mild technical conditions, a formula for the sample complexity in terms of parameters p, q, alpha, and beta, that is tight up to universal multiplicative constants. ------------------------------------------------ *12.00-13.00* Speaker: Po-Ling Loh (University of Cambridge, UK) Title: *Differentially private M-estimation via noisy optimization* Abstract: We present a noisy composite gradient descent algorithm for differentially private statistical estimation in high dimensions. We begin by providing general rates of convergence for the parameter error of successive iterates under assumptions of local restricted strong convexity and local restricted smoothness. Our analysis is local, in that it ensures a linear rate of convergence when the initial iterate lies within a constant-radius region of the true parameter. At each iterate, multivariate Gaussian noise is added to the gradient in order to guarantee that the output satisfies Gaussian differential privacy. We then derive consequences of our theory for linear regression and mean estimation. Motivated by M-estimators used in robust statistics, we study loss functions which downweight the contribution of individual data points in such a way that the sensitivity of function gradients is guaranteed to be bounded, even without the usual assumption that our data lie in a bounded domain. We prove that the objective functions thus obtained indeed satisfy the restricted convexity and restricted smoothness conditions required for our general theory. We then show how the private estimators obtained by noisy composite gradient descent may be used to obtain differentially private confidence intervals for regression coefficients, by leveraging work in Lasso debiasing proposed in high-dimensional statistics. We complement our theoretical results with simulations that illustrate the favorable finite-sample performance of our methods. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire entrambi i seminari anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88987605028?pwd=YXN1akl1bkN3TEFlS3QrMWFDWEF5dz09> I seminari sono organizzati dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

A major reason of this surge in applications is the popularization of Sinkhorn's algorithm to efficiently solve the entropic optimal transport problem numerically. The topic of this talk is the (rate of) convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm. In bounded settings, it is known that Sinkhorn's algorithm converges with exponential rate, which is a consequence of applying a commonly used version of Hilbert's metric corresponding to the cone of all non-negative functions. This talk shows how to define versions of Hilbert's metric so that we can show exponential convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm even in unbounded settings. This is done through the use of cones which are a relaxations of the cone of all non-negative functions, in the sense that they include all functions having non-negative integral values when multiplied with certain test functions. Along the way, we establish that kernel integral operators are contractions with respect to suitable versions of Hilberts metric, even if the kernel functions are not bounded away from zero.

Double Seminar: Federico Camia and Alessandra Bianchi at Tor Vergata 10.04
by Michele Salvi 04 Apr '24

04 Apr '24

Dear all, On Wednesday, April 10th, at 14h30 in Aula Dal Passo of Tor Vergata Math Department, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php) will host a double seminar: 14h30 - Federico Camia (NYU Abu Dhabi) “Towards a logarithmic conformal field theory of 2D critical percolation” Abstract: Conformal field theory (CFT) provides a very powerful framework to study the large-scale properties of models of statistical mechanics at their critical point. The prototypical example of this is the continuum (scaling) limit of the two-dimensional critical Ising model. The case of critical percolation is more difficult, partly because its continuum limit is believed to be described by a relatively unusual type of CFT, called a logarithmic CFT. In this talk, I will first briefly explain the statements above. I will then present some recent results and work in progress that are part of a program aimed at fitting percolation within the logarithmic CFT framework. 15h30 - Alessandra Bianchi (Università di Padova) “Mixing cutoff for simple random walks on the Chung-Lu directed graph” Abstract: In this talk, we consider a simple random walk defined on a Chung-Lu directed graph, an inhomogeneous random network that extends the Erdos Renyi random digraph by including edges independently according to given Bernoulli laws. In this non-reversible setting, we will focus on the convergence toward the equilibrium of the dynamics. In particular, under the assumption that the average degree grows logarithmically in the size n of the graph (weakly dense regime), we will establish a cutoff phenomenon at the entropic time of order log(n)/loglog(n). We will then show that on a precise window the cutoff profile converges to the Gaussian tail function. This is qualitatively similar to what was proved in a series of works by Bordenave, Caputo, Salez for the directed configuration model, where degrees are deterministically fixed. In terms of statistical ensembles, this analysis provides an extension of these cutoff results from a hard to a soft-constrained model. Joint work with G. Passuello.

03 Apr '24

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Giovedì 4 Aprile 2024, ore 11:30. Aula Seminari Mox - VI Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Eliseo Luongo, Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa. Title: Global Well-Posedness and Interior Regularity of 2D Navier-Stokes Equations with Stochastic Wind Driven Boundary Conditions. Abstract: Partial differential equations with boundary noise have been introduced by Da Prato and Zabczyck. They showed that, also in the one dimensional case, the solutions of the heat equation with white noise Dirichlet or Neumann Boundary conditions have low regularity compared to the case of noise diffused inside the domain. In particular, in the case of Dirichlet boundary conditions the solution is only a distribution. Some improvements in the analysis of the interior regularity of the solutions of these problems and some nonlinear variants have been obtained exploiting specific properties of the heat kernel and of suitable nonlinearities. All these issues make the problem of treating non-linear partial differential equations with boundary noise coming from fluid dynamical models an, almost untouched, field of open problems. In this talk we discuss the global well-posedness and the interior regularity of a system of 2D Navier-Stokes equations with inhomogeneous stochastic boundary conditions. The noise, white in time and coloured in space, can be interpreted as the physical law describing the driving mechanism on the atmosphere-ocean interface, i.e. as a balance of the shear stress of the ocean and the horizontal wind force. The talk is based on a joint work with A. Agresti.

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (5 Aprile) alle ore 14:30 in aula 2AB40 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Stephan Eckstein (Tübingen University) <https://sites.google.com/view/stephan-eckstein/startseite> https://sites.google.com/view/stephan-eckstein/ Title: Exponential convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm and Hilbert's projective metric for unbounded functions Date: April 5, 2024, at 14:30, 2AB40 Abstract: Entropic regularization of optimal transport has found numerous applications in various fields recently. A major reason of this surge in applications is the popularization of Sinkhorn's algorithm to efficiently solve the entropic optimal transport problem numerically. The topic of this talk is the (rate of) convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm. In bounded settings, it is known that Sinkhorn's algorithm converges with exponential rate, which is a consequence of applying a commonly used version of Hilbert's metric corresponding to the cone of all non-negative functions. This talk shows how to define versions of Hilbert's metric so that we can show exponential convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm even in unbounded settings. This is done through the use of cones which are a relaxations of the cone of all non-negative functions, in the sense that they include all functions having non-negative integral values when multiplied with certain test functions. Along the way, we establish that kernel integral operators are contractions with respect to suitable versions of Hilberts metric, even if the kernel functions are not bounded away from zero. Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin Sito web del seminario: https://www.math.unipd.it/~chiarini/seminars/

Seminar: Laura D'Angelo April 09, 2024, Ca' Foscari University of Venice
by Carlo Gaetan 28 Mar '24

28 Mar '24

Dear all, we are glad to announce the following hybrid seminar *April 09, 2024, 12:15 PM* *Where*: Aula Delta 2C- edificio Delta (Campus Scientifico), Via Torino, 155 Mestre (Venice, Italy) Zoom: https://unive.zoom.us/j/85153268624?pwd=MzBhdlA2M1B2dThJQ2Y5T0EwUE5PZz09 *Speaker*: Laura D'Angelo, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca (Italy) *Title*: Analyzing the activation patterns and heterogeneity of the neuronal response via Bayesian mixture models *Abstract:* The modern technique of calcium imaging is revolutionizing the understanding of the nervous system, thanks to its ability to image the activity of individual neurons over time in freely moving animals. This technology has led to remarkable insights into how neurons process and encode information, both individually and collectively. In this talk, we examine how Bayesian mixture models can help uncover the complex functioning of neurons in different experimental studies. First, we discuss a nested mixture model to analyze how the activity of an individual cell is affected by visual stimuli that vary over time. Then, we move to a multivariate model to identify groups of co-activating neurons, where the information on the anatomical proximity is introduced to inform the clustering procedure. At the basis of both models is a simple but effective state-space formulation that describes the calcium dynamic and relates it to the latent firing events. Through these examples, we show how the Bayesian nonparametric framework is ideal for flexibly modeling the unobserved neuronal activity, identifying patterns of activity, borrowing information across experimental conditions, and including additional knowledge.

Postdoc on the mathematics of supply chain
by Marco Scarsini 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

We have a postdoc position at Luiss University on the mathematics of supply chain. A supply chain is modeled as a network whose vertices are firms and whose edges represent their interactions. The network evolves dynamically, and may be affected by sudden disruptions. Many of the existing supply-chain models are static and, when dealing with disruptions, compare pre- and post-shock equilibria. In real life, the effects of disruption take time to spread across the network. Understanding this temporal element is fundamental for taking mitigating actions. The main goal of this project is to study dynamic models of supply-chain disruption. The formal analysis of this phenomenon will use tools from network theory, probability theory, game theory, operations management, optimization, dynamical systems, machine learning, data science. We are looking for a candidate who has a strong expertise in at least one of the above fields. Title of the project: A dynamic analysis of supply-chain networks and their disruption Length of the position: 36 months Gross annual salary: € 36.480,57 Application deadline: 2024/05/03, 14:00 Central European Summer Time (CEST) The call for this postdoc can be found here: https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/uploads/2024/03/Bando-Assegno-Prof.-Scars… The candidates must submit their application online here: https://cloudserverjsa.luiss.it/LGCAssegni/index.zul?CDS=AS4239 ******************************************************* Marco Scarsini Dipartimento di Economia e Finanza Luiss University Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma, ITALY

Seminar: Adriano Barra at Tor Vergata 02.11
by Michele Salvi 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

Dear all, On Thursday, November 2nd, at 15h00 in Aula Dal Passo of Tor Vergata Math Department, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/about.php) will host Adriano Barra (Università del Salento) with the seminar "A walk in the statistical mechanics of neural networks” Abstract: Purpose of this talk is twofold: in the first part, I will provide a statistical mechanical picture of shallow networks proving how learning in biological neural networks (e.g. in the Hopfield model) and standard machine learning via gradient descent (e.g. on the Boltzmann machine) ultimately convey the same information after training. This diminishes the gap in our understanding between biological and artificial information processing networks. In the second part of the talk, focusing on a toy model for the sake of simplicity, I will show how recent mathematical techniques, heavily based on Guerra's interpolation, are suitable to describe the emergent properties of this kind of networks. We encourage in-person partecipation. Should you be unable to come, here is the link to the Teams streaming: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3arfsL73KX-fw86y1YnXq2nk5VnZFw… <https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19:rfsL73KX-fw86y1YnXq2nk5VnZFwPU…> The seminar is part of the Excellence Project MatMod@TOV.

Seminar: Philipp Sterzinger March 26, 2024, Ca' Foscari University of Venice
by Carlo Gaetan 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

Dear all, we are glad to announce the following hybrid seminar *March 26, 2024, 12:15 PM* *Where*: Aula Delta 2C- edificio Delta (Campus Scientifico), Via Torino, 155 Mestre (Venice, Italy) Zoom: https://unive.zoom.us/j/85153268624?pwd=MzBhdlA2M1B2dThJQ2Y5T0EwUE5PZz09 *Speaker*: Philipp Sterzinger, University of Warwick *Title*: Diaconis-Ylviskaer prior penalized likelihood in high-dimensional logistic regression *Abstract:* In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in estimators and inferential procedures that exhibit optimal asymptotic properties in high-dimensional logistic regression when the number of covariates grows proportionally as a fraction ($\kappa \in (0,1)$) of the number of observations. In this seminar, we focus on the behaviour of a class of maximum penalized likelihood estimators, employing the Diaconis-Ylvisaker prior as the penalty. Building on advancements in approximate message passing, we analyze the aggregate asymptotic behaviour of these estimators when covariates are normal random variables with arbitrary covariance. This analysis enables us to eliminate the persistent asymptotic bias of the estimators through straightforward rescaling for any value of the prior hypertuning parameter. Moreover, we derive asymptotic pivots for constructing inferences, including adjusted Z-statistics and penalized likelihood ratio statistics. Unlike the maximum likelihood estimate, which only asymptotically exists in a limited region on the plane of $\kappa$ versus signal strength, the maximum penalized likelihood estimate always exists and is directly computable via maximum likelihood routines. As a result, our asymptotic results remain valid even in regions where existing maximum likelihood results are not obtainable, with no overhead in implementation or computation. The dependency of the estimators on the prior hyper-parameter facilitates the derivation of estimators with zero asymptotic bias and minimal mean squared error. We will explore these estimators' shrinkage properties, substantiate our theoretical findings with simulations and applications.

Seminario Padova - Carlos Escudero Lienana

19 Mar '24

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (22 Marzo) alle ore 14:30 in aula 2AB40 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Carlos Escudero Lienana (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) <https://portalcientifico.uned.es/investigadores/204034/colaboracion/organiz aciones/9> https://portalcientifico.uned.es/investigadores/204034/colaboracion/organiza ciones/9 Title: The noise interpretation problem in mathematical physics Date: March 22, 2024, at 14:30 room 2AB40 Abstract: Stochastic differential equations have been used as models in physics and finance for many decades now. Before a rigorous theory of these mathematical objects were introduced, and even after that, an informal use of these equations has been employed in these two fields, among many others. Herein we will focus on the extensive use of them employed in statistical physics. While the primordial use is explicitly informal, at some point the physics community recognize the importance of using a more precise language. This is the starting point of the noise interpretation problem, which translated, in hundreds of papers, in deciding whether a given model should be considered an Itô or a Stratonovich stochastic integral equation. Quite surprisingly, after several decades and hundreds of papers, and also after the question was considered settled by a certain establishment, the problem still seems to be open. Herein we will show certain examples that illustrate how this search for a more precise language in the physics literature has translated old ambiguities into newer ones. We will resolve some of them using the precise mathematical language introduced by Kiyoshi Itô and other classical stochastic analysts. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

19 Mar '24

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/ <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://www.youtube.com/@umi1922/videos <https://www.youtube.com/@umi1922/videos> Il prossimo appuntamento è per lunedì 8 aprile 2024. I relatori saranno Emanuela Sasso (Università di Genova) e Federico Girotti (Politecnico di Milano) che parleranno di Semigruppi quantistici markoviani: decoerenza, ricorrenza e accessibilità 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://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82939128330 <https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82939128330> Meeting ID: 829 3912 8330 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Emanuela Sasso (Università di Genova) e Federico Girotti (Politecnico di Milano) TITOLO: Semigruppi quantistici markoviani: decoerenza, ricorrenza e accessibilità RIASSUNTO: I semigruppi markoviani quantistici sono essenzialmente semigruppi di operatori positivi su algebre di operatori con le opportune proprietà di continuità e che rafforzano la positività. Appaiono nella letteratura fisica e fisico-matematica alla fine degli anni '60 con il nome di semigruppi dinamici quantistici nella modellizzazione e nell'analisi dei sistemi aperti in meccanica quantistica. Tuttavia, dal punto di vista matematico, costituiscono la naturale generalizzazione dei semigruppi markoviani classici, infatti questi ultimi sono semigruppi di operatori definiti su un'algebra di funzioni, cioè un'algebra di operatori che commutano tra loro. Il modo più naturale per descrivere un sistema quantistico è un’algebra di Von Neumann e la sua evoluzione come una famiglia di operatori debole*-continui, che formino un semigruppo e che abbiano la proprietà di markovianità. Se il sistema è chiuso allora la sua evoluzione è reversibile, altrimenti se interagisce con l’ambiente allora ci potrebbe essere una parte diffusiva. In Fisica, si parla di “decoerenza” quando solo una parte del sistema evolve in maniera automorfica (l’algebra priva di decoerenza, appunto) e una parte “scompare” per tempi lunghi. La nostra ricerca si è focalizzata a lungo su quale definizione di decoerenza sia più adatta e se è possibile trovare condizioni necessarie e sufficienti per il suo verificarsi. Nello studio dei processi (semigruppi) di Markov classici sono fondamentali le nozioni di ricorrenza e comunicazione tra insiemi di stati; mostreremo come questi concetti siano stati generalizzati nel caso noncommutativo e discuteremo alcune delle loro proprietà e relazioni. Particolare attenzione sarà dato al caso in cui l’algebra su cui agisce il semigruppo sia l’insieme di tutti gli operatori lineari limitati che agiscono su uno spazio di Hilbert. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

SPASS seminar: Patrick Charbonneau
by Andrea Agazzi 15 Mar '24

15 Mar '24

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Toward a robust definition of random close packing* by Patrick Charbonneau (Duke University) The seminar will take place on TUE, 19.03.2024 at 14:30 CET (*please note the unusual time*) in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at this link <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: **The apparent simplicity of amorphous sphere packings can be misleading. Although jamming hard spheres to random close packing (rcp) has been studied for decades, an unambiguous definition of rcp, let alone a first-principle prediction remain elusive. Drawing inspiration from liquid state theory, rcp can be identified with the inherent structure of a hard sphere liquid. Identifying inherent structures of hard spheres through optimization, however, is a non-trivial problem. Motivated by a recent (meta-)analysis of existing algorithms, we consider the behavior of minimal models of jamming that can be studied using various approaches, notably with tools from stochastic geometry and the mean-field description of simple glasses. The resulting insights present a path toward formalizing rcp.*

Politecnico di Milano - MOX Colloquia - Simon Wood - ore 14
by Laura Maria Sangalli 14 Mar '24

14 Mar '24

Scusandomi per refuso in precedente comunicazione, desidero precisare per gli interessati che l’orario di inizio del seminario di Simon Wood di oggi pomeriggio è alle ore 14 precise. Si avvisa che in data 14-03-2024, alle ore **14:00** precise presso il Politecnico di Milano, in aula Consiglio (settimo piano Dipartimento di Matematica - edificio 14), si svolgerà il seguente seminario della serie MOX Colloquia Simon Wood, School of Mathematics, University of Edinburgh Titolo: On Neighbourhood Cross Validation Abstract: Cross validation is a well known method for estimating hyperparameters in complex regression models. It comes in many varieties, but some of the more interesting flavours require multiple model fits with consequently high cost. This talk shows how the high cost can be side-stepped for a wide range of models estimated using a quadratically penalized smooth loss, with rather low approximation error. Once the computational cost has the same leading order as a single model fit, it becomes feasible to efficiently optimize the chosen cross-validation criterion with respect to multiple smoothing/precision parameters. Interesting applications include cross-validating smooth additive quantile regression models, and the use of leave-out-neighbourhood cross validation for dealing with nuisance short range autocorrelation. The link between cross validation and the jackknife can be exploited to obtain reasonably well calibrated uncertainty quantification in these case. Il link per seguire il seminario online sarà reso disponibile pochi minuti prima dell’avvio del seminario al seguente link https://mox.polimi.it/mox-colloquia-seminars-list/mox-seminars/?id_evento=2… Tutti gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare, Laura Sangalli —— Laura Maria Sangalli MOX - Dipartimento di Matematica Politecnico di Milano Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32 20133 Milano - Italy (+39) 02 2399 4554 laura.sangalli(a)polimi.it<mailto:laura.sangalli@polimi.it> https://sangalli.faculty.polimi.it

Seminario di C. Ulcigrai a Milano-Bicocca (21 mar 2024)
by Giampaolo Cristadoro 13 Mar '24

13 Mar '24

Buongiorno, ho il piacere di annunciare che il 21 Marzo alle ore 14:30 in U5 RATIO - aula 3014 (Univ. Milano - Bicocca) si terrà il seguente Seminario Matematico e Fisico di Milano: Prof.ssa Corinna Ulcigrai (Institut für Mathematik - Universität Zürich) "Periodic surfaces and deterministic random walks: dynamics between geometry and probability" Abstract: Many deterministic systems display chaotic features: the stronger the chaotic features, the better the system can be approximated by a probabilistic model, an idea that can be traced back to Boltzmann and explains the success of the branch of dynamical systems known as ergodic theory. In this talk, we will discuss systems that display only 'mild’ chaotic features, such as the geodesic flow on surfaces with a flat geometry or the Ehrenfest model in mathematical physics. Recent breakthroughs in our understanding of the latter model introduced more than a century ago, were made possible by the powerful tools exploiting moduli spaces of surfaces and Teichmueller dynamics, an area which has attracted the work of several Fields medallists. We will in particular highlight some results of probabilistic flavor that can still be proven for these deterministic systems, hidden in the fractal structure of trajectories and the 'deterministic random walks' that describe them. Il seminario sarà seguito da un piccolo rinfresco.

Lunedì 18 Marzo 2024: Seminario di Gianmarco Bet alla Sapienza
by Faggionato, Alessandra 12 Mar '24

12 Mar '24

Buongiorno, Gianmarco Bet (Università di Firenze) terrà un seminario alla Sapienza Lunedì 18 Marzo alle 16:00. Sotto trovate i dettagli. Saluti Alessandra *Time*: Monday 18 March, 16:00 *Room*: Sala di Consiglio, Department of Mathematics "Guido Castelnuovo", Sapienza University of Rome *Title:* Detecting a late changepoint in the preferential attachment model *Abstract*: Motivated by the problem of detecting a change in the evolution of a network, we consider the preferential attachment random graph model with a time-dependent attachment function. Our goal is to detect whether the attachment mechanism changed over time, based on a single snapshot of the network at time $n$ and without directly observable information about the dynamics. We cast this question as a hypothesis testing problem, where the null hypothesis is a preferential attachment model with a constant affine attachment parameter \delta_0, and the alternative hypothesis is a preferential attachment model where the affine attachment parameter changes from $\delta_0$ to $\delta_1$ at an unknown changepoint time $\tau_n$. For our analysis we assume that the changepoint occurs close to the observation time of the network, which corresponds to the relevant scenario where we aim to detect the changepoint shortly after it has happened. We present two tests based on the number of vertices with minimal degree. The first test assumes knowledge of $\delta_0$, while the second does not. We show that these are asymptotically powerful when $n-\tau_n \gg n^{1/2}$. Furthermore, we prove that the test statistics for both tests are asymptotically normal, allowing for accurate calibration of the tests. If time allows, we will present numerical experiments to illustrate the finite sample test properties. -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato https://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/people/faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 123, first floor *************************************************

Deadline Extended! - IEEE MetroLivEnv 2024 - Special Session PROBABILITY AND MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS FOR LIVING ENVIRONMENT AND METROLOGY
by Antonella Iuliano 11 Mar '24

11 Mar '24

Dear Colleagues, we would like to draw your attention to the upcoming 2024 IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON METROLOGY FOR LIVING ENVIRONMENT that will be held at Chania, Crete, GREECE, June 12-14, 2024. The following Special Session is open to receive your submissions. PROBABILITY AND MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS FOR LIVING ENVIRONMENT AND METROLOGY Probability Theory and Statistics provide powerful tools for the development of new mathematical models to describe real life phenomena. In particular, the use of metrology refers to living environment plays an important role in many applicative fields to understand and identify sources of variability and to minimise their influence. The aim of this section is to cover the lack of probabilistic and machine learning approaches in this area. In fact, one of the most significant advantages using probabilistic models is to gain a comprehensive view of the uncertainty associated with a measurement result. A special attention will be give to results related to the quality of the living environment as a direct impact on human health and well-being. Website: https://www.metrolivenv.org/special-session-2 The deadline for Extended Abstract Submissions is March 22, 2024. https://www.metrolivenv.org/call-for-papers For further information and updates please visit the conference website: https://www.metrolivenv.org/index.php/ We are looking forward to Welcome you in Chania! Do not hesitate to forward this message to anyone who could be interested. Thank you very much for your kind consideration, and apologies for multiple copies. We look forward to hearing from you. Best Regards, The Session Organizers

Politecnico di Milano - MOX Colloquia - Simon Wood
by Laura Maria Sangalli 11 Mar '24

11 Mar '24

Si avvisa che in data 14-03-2024, alle ore 14:30 precise presso il Politecnico di Milano, in aula Consiglio (settimo piano Dipartimento di Matematica - edificio 14), si svolgerà il seguente seminario della serie MOX Colloquia Simon Wood, School of Mathematics, University of Edinburgh Titolo: On Neighbourhood Cross Validation Abstract: Cross validation is a well known method for estimating hyperparameters in complex regression models. It comes in many varieties, but some of the more interesting flavours require multiple model fits with consequently high cost. This talk shows how the high cost can be side-stepped for a wide range of models estimated using a quadratically penalized smooth loss, with rather low approximation error. Once the computational cost has the same leading order as a single model fit, it becomes feasible to efficiently optimize the chosen cross-validation criterion with respect to multiple smoothing/precision parameters. Interesting applications include cross-validating smooth additive quantile regression models, and the use of leave-out-neighbourhood cross validation for dealing with nuisance short range autocorrelation. The link between cross validation and the jackknife can be exploited to obtain reasonably well calibrated uncertainty quantification in these case. Il link per seguire il seminario online sarà reso disponibile pochi minuti prima dell’avvio del seminario al seguente link https://mox.polimi.it/mox-colloquia-seminars-list/mox-seminars/?id_evento=2… Tutti gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare, Laura Sangalli —— Laura Maria Sangalli MOX - Dipartimento di Matematica Politecnico di Milano Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32 20133 Milano - Italy (+39) 02 2399 4554 laura.sangalli(a)polimi.it<mailto:laura.sangalli@polimi.it> https://sangalli.faculty.polimi.it

Dear all, we are glad to announce the following hybrid seminar *March 19, 2024, 12:15 PM* *Where*: Aula Delta 2C- edificio Zeta (Campus Scientifico), Via Torino, 155 Mestre (Venice, Italy) Zoom: https://unive.zoom.us/j/85153268624?pwd=MzBhdlA2M1B2dThJQ2Y5T0EwUE5PZz09 *Speaker*: Andrea Cappozzo, Università degli Studi di Milano (Milano, Italy) *Title*: Penalized mixed-effects multitask learning: a framework for regularizing multilevel models with applications on DNA methylation biomarkers creation *Abstract:* Linear mixed modeling is a well-established technique widely employed when observations possess a grouping structure. Nevertheless, this standard methodology is no longer applicable when the learning framework encompasses a multivariate response and high-dimensional predictors. To overcome these issues, a penalized estimation scheme based on an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is proposed, in which any penalty criteria previously devised for fixed-effects models can be conveniently incorporated into the fitting process. We employ the novel methodology for creating surrogate biomarkers of cardiovascular risk factors, such as lipids and blood pressure, from whole-genome DNA methylation data in a multi-center study. The proposed approach shows promising results in both predictive accuracy and bio-molecular interpretation compared to state-of-the-art alternatives.

I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82939128330 <https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82939128330> Meeting ID: 829 3912 8330 Vi aspettiamo numerosi, Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Luca Avena (Università di Firenze) e Matteo Quattropani (Sapienza Università di Roma) TITOLO: Incontri tra passeggiate aleatorie e dinamiche di opinione su grafi random RIASSUNTO: Nella prima parte del seminario discuteremo risultati, classici o più recenti, della teoria che lega il comportamento di passeggiate aleatorie su grafi finiti a quello dei processi di coalescenza, e le relative implicazioni nell’analisi del tempo di consenso per dinamiche di opinione markoviane. Nella seconda parte del seminario presenteremo uno specifico risultato, ottenuto recentemente in collaborazione con Federico Capannoli e Rajat Shubra Hazra (Leiden University), in cui il grafo sottostante è aleatorio, orientato, e con un arbitraria sequenza di gradi. In particolare, in funzione della sequenza dei gradi scelta, identificheremo esplicitamente la legge dei tempi di incontro di due passeggiate aleatorie e, di conseguenza, il tempo di consenso per la dinamica di opinione associata. Discuteremo quindi delle implicazioni di questo risultato nel contesto applicativo del design delle reti, individuando le caratteristiche del grafo che tendono ad aumentare o a diminuire il tempo necessario a raggiungere il consenso. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 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://www.youtube.com/@umi1922/videos %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Seminario Andrea Di Primio - Politecnico di Milano - 6 Marzo 2024
by Luca Scarpa 05 Mar '24

05 Mar '24

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Mercoledì 6 Marzo 2024, ore 11:30. Aula Seminari III Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Andrea Di Primio. Title: Stochastic diffuse interface models with conservative noise. Abstract: Cahn-Hilliard type models are widely used to model phase separation phenomena occurring in multicomponent systems subject to thermodynamical stress. In 1970, a stochastic variant taking into account thermal effects driving spinodal decomposition was proposed by H. Cook. This model generalizes its deterministic counterpart and better fits available experimental data, especially in the early stages of phase separation. In this talk, I will examine the stochastic analysis of an almost-surely mass-conserving stochastic Cahn-Hilliard model, which stems from the original Cahn-Hilliard-Cook model when endowed with a conservative noise in divergence form. The mass conservation property is indeed expected in the deterministic version of the system. Our first-step investigation concerns the existence of unique probabilistically strong solutions to the equation, appealing to stochastic variational techniques. Some insights on the corresponding Allen-Cahn relaxation, for which we show conditional results, will also be given. In all models, a thermodynamical singular potential is considered. Further open questions will also be presented.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 8 Marzo 2024, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: Jaromir Sant (University of Oxford UK) Title: *Inferring natural selection and allele age from allele frequency time series data via exact simulation* Abstract: A standard problem in population genetics is that of inferring evolutionary and biological parameters such as the strength of natural selection and allele age from DNA samples. Up until recently, most of the datasets available for such a task were obtained by sampling individuals from a contemporaneous population simultaneously, thereby offering a static snapshot of the population’s genetic diversity. However, recent advances in DNA extraction and sequencing technologies have allowed for ancient DNA found at archaeological sites to be analysed, leading to the creation of several time-series datasets detailing historical changes in allele frequencies. These datasets have paved the way for the development of powerful inferential techniques which explicitly exploit this new temporal dependence in the data to provide better estimators. In this talk I shall introduce a Markov Chain Monte Carlo framework which allows for inferring selection and allele age based on time-series data coming from an underlying Wright-Fisher diffusion. The chief novelty is that by augmenting the state space with the unobserved diffusion trajectory we are able to develop an efficient method in which trajectory updates and accept/reject probabilities can be calculated without error, in spite of the diffusion’s intractable transition density. We illustrate the method’s performance on simulated data, and subsequently apply it to an ancient DNA horse dataset. This is joint work with Paul Jenkins (Warwick), Jere Koskela (Newcastle), and Dario Spanò (Warwick). ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87097731960?pwd=TjZ3YlNEbjFYeW9sUkl6OXN2SDB1QT09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Dear Colleagues, we would like to draw your attention to the upcoming 2024 IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON METROLOGY FOR LIVING ENVIRONMENT that will be held at Chania, Crete, GREECE, June 12-14, 2024. The following Special Session is open to receive your submissions. PROBABILITY AND MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS FOR LIVING ENVIRONMENT AND METROLOGY Probability Theory and Statistics provide powerful tools for the development of new mathematical models to describe real life phenomena. In particular, the use of metrology refers to living environment plays an important role in many applicative fields to understand and identify sources of variability and to minimise their influence. The aim of this section is to cover the lack of probabilistic and machine learning approaches in this area. In fact, one of the most significant advantages using probabilistic models is to gain a comprehensive view of the uncertainty associated with a measurement result. A special attention will be give to results related to the quality of the living environment as a direct impact on human health and well-being. Website: https://www.metrolivenv.org/special-session-2 The deadline for Extended Abstract Submissions is March 10, 2024. https://www.metrolivenv.org/call-for-papers For further information and updates please visit the conference website: https://www.metrolivenv.org/index.php/ We are looking forward to Welcome you in Chania!

International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Monica Billio 02 Mar '24

02 Mar '24

23nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CREDIT 2024 *The frontiers of new risks: AI, digital and sustainability transitions * Venice, Italy 3 –4 October 2024 * * *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy),*CRIF* (Bologna, Italy), *European Datawarehouse *(Frankfurt am Main, Germany), *European Investment Fund* (Luxembourg), *Intesa Sanpaolo* (Milan, Italy) and *Modefinance* (Trieste, Italy) are partners in organising a Conference to be held in Venice on October 3-4, 2024. * * The CREDIT 2024 conference will bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in various areas of financial and socio-economic risk with the aim of creating a unique opportunity for participants to discuss research progress and policy as well as industry-relevant insights and directions for future research. CREDIT 2024 is the *twenty-thrid* in a series of events dedicated to various aspects of credit risk and organised under the auspices of: the *Department of Economics *and*VERA - Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies* - of the *Ca’ Foscari University of Venice*,*Joint Research Center European Commission*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association*, *AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria*, *AIFIRM - Associazione Italiana Financial Industry Risk Managers*. Sustainability necessarily involves the adaptation of today’s business model to the dynamic nature of the current digitalised environments. Corporations need to make sure that resources, especially technology, are being used responsibly and efficiently to improve the lives of the present generations and future generations as well as strengthen their relationships with the environment as to solve sustainability-related problems such as poverty, environmental degradation, pollution and inequality. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to address these societal problems including sustainability. The climate crisis and the degradation of the physical environment are complex problems that require the most innovative and advanced solutions. The real value of AI hence lies in its ability to facilitate and foster environmental and social governance, rather just as a tool to reduce pollution, poverty and resource depletion. In the age of AI, societies depend on big data, social media, knowledge management and data science to survive and achieve these sustainability goals. AI has the potential to reshape not only finance and industry but also the whole society. There is need to understand opportunities and challenges as to properly manage all relevant risks. The organisers encourage submissions on any topic within the overall theme of the conference, with attention to *the use of AI to assess the sustainability impact of finance *(i.e. exploiting AI techniques or Big Data to bridge primary information gaps and proxy the sustainability impact) and *on how climate and digital risks may interact* (i.e. climate denial, social media and social media strategies including deepfakes). The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Patrick Bolton *(Imperial College London), and *Roberto Rigobon* (MIT Sloan School of Management). The Conference will also include panel discussions on the major issues at stake with the views of researchers', practitioners' and policy makers. The SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE for the Conference consists of: *Marcin Kacperczyk *(Imperial College London, Programme Chair) *Monica Billio* (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & GRETA) *Marie Brière* (AMUNDI & Université Libre de Bruxelles) *Lucia Alessi* (Joint Research Center, European Commission) *Leonardo Gambacorta *(Bank For International Settlements) *Mila Getmansky* (Isenberg School of Management, UMass Amherst) *Christian Gollier* (Toulouse School of Economics) *Helmut Kraemer-Eis *(European Investment Fund) *Jan Pieter Krahnen *(Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Goethe University) *Steven Ongena* (University of Zurich, Swiss Finance Institute, KU Leuven, NTNU Business School & CEPR) *Roberto Rigobon *(MIT Sloan School of Management) *Stephen Schaefer* (London Business School) *Marti Subrahmanyam *(NYU Stern Business School) CALL FOR PAPERS Those wishing to present a paper at the Conference should submit by *May 31, 2023 *to the address given below (preferably in electronic format). Please indicate to whom correspondence should be addressed. Decisions regarding acceptance will be made by *June 30, 2023*. The final version of accepted papers must be received by August 31, 2023.

Seminar: Alessandra Menafoglio March 12, 2024, Ca' Foscari University of Venice
by Carlo Gaetan 29 Feb '24

29 Feb '24

Dear all, we are glad to announce the following hybrid seminar *March 12, 2024, 12:15 PM* *Where*: Aula Delta 2C- edificio Zeta (Campus Scientifico), Via Torino, 155 Mestre (Venice, Italy) Zoom: https://unive.zoom.us/j/85153268624?pwd=MzBhdlA2M1B2dThJQ2Y5T0EwUE5PZz09 *Speaker*: Alessandra Menafoglio, Politecnico di Milano (Milano, Italy) *Title*: The Bayes space approach to functional data analysis for probability density functions *Abstract:* In the presence of increasingly massive and heterogeneous data, the statistical modeling of distributional observations plays a key role. Choosing the ‘right’ embedding space for these data is of paramount importance for their statistical processing, to account for their nature and inherent constraints. The Bayes space theory is a natural embedding space for (spatial) distributional data, and was successfully applied in varied settings. In this presentation, I will discuss the state-of-the-art methods for the modelling, analysis, and prediction of distributional data, with a particular attention to cases when their spatial dependence cannot be neglected. I will embrace the viewpoint of object-oriented spatial statistics (O2S2), a system of ideas for the analysis of complex data with spatial dependence. All the theoretical developments will be illustrated through their application on real data, highlighting the intrinsic challenges of a statistical analysis which follows the Bayes spaces approach.

Seminario Ilya Losev - Lunedì 4 Marzo - Sapienza Università di Roma
by Silvestri, Vittoria 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

Si segnala il seguente seminario: Lunedì 4 Marzo 2024, ore 16:00, Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica "Guido Castelnuovo", Sapienza Università di Roma. *Speaker: *Ilya Losev (University of Cambridge, UK) *Title: *How long are the arms in Dielectric-Breakdown Model? *Abstract: *In this talk we will discuss the recent progress on such random growth models as Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA) and Dielectric-Breakdown Model (DBM) in 2 and 3 dimensions. These models are believed to exhibit non-equilibrium growth, producing irregular fractal patterns. The main questions about these processes include finding their scaling limits and fractal dimensions. However, almost nothing is known rigorously. The main result about these models is due to Kesten, who gave a non-trivial lower bound on the fractal dimension of DLA clusters. The main tool in his proof was the famous Beurling’s estimate. We generalize this result to DBM and give a new proof of Kesten’s Theorem. Our proof does not rely on Beurling’s estimate. Instead, we exploit the connection between DBM growth properties and multifractal spectrum of the harmonic measure. ******************************** Vittoria Silvestri Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome ********************************

ABS24 school "Bayesian Phylogenetics and Infectious Diseases" in Como, Italy (August 26-30, 2024) - Registration are open
by Elisa Varini 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

Dear all, We are glad to inform you that the next Applied Bayesian Statistics school - ABS24 will be held in the city of Como, along the Lake Como shoreline, on August 26-30, 2024. The school is organised by CNR IMATI (Institute of Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies at the National Research Council of Italy in Milano), in cooperation with Fondazione Alessandro Volta. The topic will be BAYESIAN PHYLOGENETICS AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES. The lecturer will be Prof. MARC SUCHARD (Department of Biostatistics, UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, USA), with the support of Filippo Monti (PhD student in Biostatistics, UCLA, USA). If interested, you can register on the school website: https://abs24.imati.cnr.it/ If you are interested in the school but unwilling to register for the moment, please send an email to abs24(a)mi.imati.cnr.it and we will send you updates and reminders. As in the past (since 2004), there will be a combination of theoretical and practical sessions, along with presentations by participants about their work (past, current and future) related to the topic of the school. OUTLINE: The aim of this course is to explore the core challenges of Bayesian inference of stochastic processes in modern biology in terms of data-scale, model-dimensionality and compute-complexity. Challenging and emerging statistical solutions will be illustrated through the analysis of biological sequences, such as genes and genomes. Molecular phylogenetics has become an essential analytical tool for understanding the complex patterns in which rapidly evolving pathogens propagate across and between countries, owing to the complex travel and transportation patterns evinced by modern economies, along with growing political factors such as increased global population and urbanisation. As an accessible course for all, a brief introduction of the underlying biology (for statistical researchers) and of modern Bayesian inference (for practicing biologists) will be also provided. Topics will cover probabilistic modeling techniques using both discrete- and continuous-valued stochastic processes including continuous-time Markov chains and Gaussian processes; large-scale data-integration approaches incorporating factors like human mobility and climate measurements; recursive computing and other mathematical tricks to evaluate seemingly intractable likelihoods; state-of-the-art sampling methods for high-dimensional models including Hamiltonian Monte Carlo and its more recent non-reversible extensions; delivering timely inference on advancing computing hardware like graphics processing units and (maybe even) quantum devices. We hope you will be interested in the school and we would like to meet you in Como next year. We invite you also to share the information with people potentially interested. Best regards Elisa Varini and Fabrizio Ruggeri Executive Director and Director of ABS24

Sapienza seminar in Probability and Statistics - Refik Soyer
by Luisa Beghin 23 Feb '24

23 Feb '24

Dear all, We would like to invite you to the following talk: *Thursday 29th February at 1**5:00* Room 24 (fourth floor), Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche (Ed. CU002), Sapienza University *Speaker: Refik Soyer* (George Washington University (US)) *Title: Latent Factor Multivariate Integer-Valued AR Processes* Abstract: We introduce a new class of multivariate integer-valued autoregressive (INAR) models based on the notion of a common random environment. Dependence among the components of the multivariate time series is induced via the common environment that follows a Markovian evolution. The proposed framework provides us with a dynamic multivariate generalization of the univariate INAR processes. We develop a Markov chain Monte Carlo method as well as a particle learning algorithm for Bayesian inference. We consider an extension of the model to handle zero inflated time-series data and illustrate the proposed class of models using actual multivariate count data and discuss their predictive performance.

Fwd: SPASS Seminar: Matteo Sfragara
by Gianmarco Bet 21 Feb '24

21 Feb '24

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: Chaos and concentration in spatial growth models by Matteo Sfragara (Stockholm University) The seminar will take place on TUE, 27.02.2024 at 14:00 CET in Aula Tricerri, Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica "Ulisse Dini", UNIFI and streamed online at the link which you can find in the seminar website below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass <https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass> -------------------------------------------- Abstract: A decade and a half ago Chatterjee established the first rigorous connection between anomalous fluctuations (superconcentration) and a chaotic behaviour of the ground state in certain Gaussian disordered systems. We study the connection between chaos and concentration in spatial growth models, like first-passage percolation (FPP) and last-passage percolation (LPP), and we prove that they exhibit a chaotic behaviour. 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. In FPP on Z^d the geodesic is the time-minimizing path from the origin to a vertex v, while in LPP on the square lattice [0,n]^2 the geodesic is the weight-maximizing up-right path from (0,0) to (n,n). This talk is based on two joint works with Daniel Ahlberg and Mia Deijfen (Stockholm University).

Seminar: Federico Ferraccioli February 27, 2024, Ca' Foscari University of Venice
by Carlo Gaetan 20 Feb '24

20 Feb '24

Dear all, we are glad to announce the following hybrid seminar *February 27, 2024, 12:15 PM* *Where*: Sala Riunioni B - edificio Zeta (Campus Scientifico), Via Torino, 155 Mestre (Venice, Italy) Zoom:https://unive.zoom.us/j/85153268624?pwd=MzBhdlA2M1B2dThJQ2Y5T0EwUE5PZz09 *Speaker*: Federico Ferraccioli, Università degli Studi di Padova *Title*: Detecting stable modes using stochastic gradients *Abstract:* In the framework of density based clustering, modes represent a crucial concept as they identify high-density regions that can be associated to different groups of observations. The possibility to conduct inference on the resulting clusters remains nonetheless an intriguing yet quite intricate problem. To tackle this challenge, we propose a procedure that leverages on the connection between mean-shift clustering and stochastic gradient methods. This enables the definition of a sampling procedure, which can be used to construct confidence regions for the modes of a density. We investigate the asymptotic properties of the proposed method and evaluate its performances across different scenarios.

Seminari PRISMA - 7 mar 2024
by Francesco Caravenna 15 Feb '24

15 Feb '24

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/ <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://www.youtube.com/@umi1922/videos <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5puCfBWCdRA> Il prossimo appuntamento è per giovedì 7 marzo 2024. I relatori saranno Luca Avena (Università di Firenze) e Matteo Quattropani (Sapienza Università di Roma) che parleranno di Incontri tra passeggiate aleatorie e dinamiche di opinione su grafi random 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://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82939128330 <https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82939128330> Meeting ID: 829 3912 8330 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Luca Avena (Università di Firenze) e Matteo Quattropani (Sapienza Università di Roma) TITOLO: Incontri tra passeggiate aleatorie e dinamiche di opinione su grafi random RIASSUNTO: Nella prima parte del seminario discuteremo risultati, classici o più recenti, della teoria che lega il comportamento di passeggiate aleatorie su grafi finiti a quello dei processi di coalescenza, e le relative implicazioni nell’analisi del tempo di consenso per dinamiche di opinione markoviane. Nella seconda parte del seminario presenteremo uno specifico risultato, ottenuto recentemente in collaborazione con Federico Capannoli e Rajat Shubra Hazra (Leiden University), in cui il grafo sottostante è aleatorio, orientato, e con un arbitraria sequenza di gradi. In particolare, in funzione della sequenza dei gradi scelta, identificheremo esplicitamente la legge dei tempi di incontro di due passeggiate aleatorie e, di conseguenza, il tempo di consenso per la dinamica di opinione associata. Discuteremo quindi delle implicazioni di questo risultato nel contesto applicativo del design delle reti, individuando le caratteristiche del grafo che tendono ad aumentare o a diminuire il tempo necessario a raggiungere il consenso. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

SPASS Seminar: Leonardo Tolomeo
by Francesco Grotto 14 Feb '24

14 Feb '24

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Transport of Gaussian measures under the flow of Hamiltonian PDEs: quasi-invariance and singularity* by Leonardo Tolomeo (University of Edinburgh) The seminar will take place on TUE, 20.02.2024 at 14:00 CET in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: In this talk, we consider the Cauchy problem for the fractional NLS with cubic nonlinearity (FNLS), posed on the one-dimensional torus T, subject to initial data distributed according to a family of Gaussian measures. * *We first discuss how the flow of Hamiltonian equations transports these Gaussian measures. When the transported measure is absolutely continuous with respect to the initial measure, we say that the initial measure is quasi-invariant. * *In the high-dispersion regime, we exploit quasi-invariance to build a (unique) global flow for initial data with negative regularity, in a regime that cannot be replicated by the deterministic (pathwise) theory. * *In the 0-dispersion regime, we discuss the limits of this approach, and exhibit a sharp transition from quasi-invariance to singularity, depending on the regularity of the initial measure. * *This is based on joint works with J. Forlano (UCLA/University of Edinburgh) and with J. Coe (University of Edinburgh).*

Seminario di Giuseppe Cannizzaro - Lunedì 19 Febbraio - Sapienza Università di Roma
by Silvestri, Vittoria 14 Feb '24

14 Feb '24

Si segnala il seguente seminario: Lunedì 19 Febbraio 2024, ore 16:00, Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica "Guido Castelnuovo", Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker: *Giuseppe Cannizzaro (University of Warwick, UK) *Title: *Weak coupling scaling of critical SPDEs *Abstract: *The study of stochastic PDEs has known tremendous advances in recent years and, thanks to Hairer's theory of regularity structures and Gubinelli and Perkowski's paracontrolled approach, (local) existence and uniqueness of solutions of *subcritical* SPDEs is by now well-understood. The goal of this talk is to move beyond the aforementioned theories and present novel tools to derive the scaling limit (in the so-called weak coupling scaling) for some stationary SPDEs at the *critical* dimension. Our techniques are inspired by the resolvent method developed by Landim, Olla, Yau, Varadhan, and many others, in the context of particle systems in the *supercritical* dimension. Time allowing, we will explain how it is possible to use our techniques to study a much wider class of statistical mechanics models at criticality such as (self-)interacting diffusions in random environment. ******************************** Vittoria Silvestri Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome ********************************

Winter mini-course on machine learning at Tor Vergata
by Michele Salvi 13 Feb '24

13 Feb '24

Dear all, Also this Winter RoMaDS ( https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php ) will offer a mini-course on the mathematics of machine learning at Tor Vergata University in Rome. This year we are very happy to host Giovanni Conforti (Università di Padova & École Polytechnique, Paris) and Alain Durmus (École Polytechnique, Paris) from the 19th to the 22nd of February. They will present a 9 hours mini-course titled An introduction to Score-based Generative Models The course will be addressed also to non-experts of the field, it will be divided in 3 slots of 3 hours each and the tentative program is as follows (see the whole abstract at the end of the email): Lecture 1 & Lecture 2. (Mon 19th, 14h00-17h00) Introduction to generative models & Probabilistic/statistical tools for generative models Lecture 3 & Lecture 4. (Wed 21st, 09h30-12h30) A ”discrete” introduction to score-based diffusion models & A Itô-diffusion viewpoint on score-based diffusion models. Lecture 5 & Lecture 6. (Thu 22nd, 09h30-12h30) Convergence bounds for score-based diffusion models via stochastic control & Optimal transport and entropic optimal transport for generative modeling. You can find the whole Syllabus with more details on each lecture on RoMaDS webpage: https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/Files/SyllabusSGM.pdf All the lectures will be held in Aula Dal Passo, Department of Mathematics - Tor Vergata University. We do encourage in-person participation. Should you unable to come, here is the link to the event on Teams: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3arfsL73KX-fw86y1YnXq2nk5VnZFw… The seminar is part of the Excellence Project MatMod@TOV. Best, Michele Salvi Abstract of the course “An introduction to Score-based Generative Models” In simple words, generative modeling consists in learning a map capable of generating new data instances that resemble a given set of observations, starting from a simple prior distribution, most often a standard Gaussian distribution. This course aims at providing a mathematical introduction to generative models and in particular to Score-based Generative Models (SGM). SGMs have gained prominence for their ability to generate realistic data across diverse domains, making them a popular tool for researchers and practitioners in machine learning. Participants will learn about the methodological and theoretical foundations, as well as some practical applications associated with these models. The first two lectures motivate the use of generative models, introduce their formalism and present two simple though relevant examples: energy-based models and Generative Adversarial Networks. In the third and fourth lecture we present score-based diffusion models and explain how they provide an algorithmical framework to the basic idea that sampling from the time-reversal of a diffusion process converts noise into new data instances. We shall do so following two different approaches: a first elementary one that only relies on discrete transition probabilities, and a second one based on stochastic calculus. After this introduction, we derive sharp theoretical guarantees of convergence for score-based diffusion models assembling together ideas coming from stochastic control, functional inequalities and regularity theory for HamiltonJacobi-Bellman equations. The course ends with an overview of some of the most recent and sophisticated algorithms such as flow matching and diffusion Schrödinger bridges (DSB), which bring an (entropic) optimal transport insight into generative modeling.

*Ottavo seminario del ciclo "Trento Probability Seminars" a.a. 2023-24* Integration by parts formula and quantum field theory *Luogo:* l'evento si terrà in presenza in Aula Seminari 1 a Povo0 e per via telematica attraverso collegamento alla piattaforma Zoom; per partecipare sarà necessario collegarsi al link seguente e inserire i codici di accesso (da condividere solo con contatti fidati): https://unitn.zoom.us/j/82578903026 Topic: Trento Probability Seminars Meeting ID: 825 7890 3026 Passcode: 978062 *Data:* Mercoledì 14 febbraio *Ore:* 11:30 *Relatore:* - *Francesco Carlo De Vecchi *(Università di Pavia) *Abstract: *Characterizing a probability measure through an integration by parts formula is a classical problem in stochastic analysis. It finds applications in (Euclidean) quantum field theory, being related to the solutions of the equations of motion for the correlation functions of the quantum field. We approach this problem in the particular case of quantum field theory with exponential interaction on $\mathbb{R}^2$, studying a Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equation associated to a stochastic quantization equation for such a model. We prove that, under some conditions on the support of the measure, the solution to this Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equation exists and is unique, providing a complete characterization of the exponential measure by an integration by parts formula. The talk is based on a joint work with Massimiliano Gubinelli and Mattia Turra. *Referente*: Sonia Mazzucchi Per conoscere i prossimi eventi è possibile consultare la pagina *https://webmagazine.unitn.it/ciclo/dmath/118024/trento-probability-seminars-20232024 <https://webmagazine.unitn.it/ciclo/dmath/118024/trento-probability-seminars…>* Gli eventi passati si trovano alla pagina *https://webmagazine.unitn.it/ciclo/dmath/114273/trento-probability-seminars-20222023 <https://webmagazine.unitn.it/ciclo/dmath/114273/trento-probability-seminars…>* [image: Università di Trento] <http://www.unitn.it/> *Staff di Dipartimento-Matematica* Università degli Studi di Trento Via Sommarive, 14 - 38123 Povo (TN) Tel. +39 0461 283898 - Francesca Stanca Tel. +39 0461 281980 - Michela Vinotti Tel. +39 0461 281625 - Orietta Osele Tel. +39 0461 281701 - Cinzia Parolari -- Dr. Michele Coghi University of Trento, Math Department via Sommarive 14 - 38123 Povo (Trento) - I Povo 0, Room 2.91 E-Mail: michele.coghi(a)unitn.it

Seminario di Alexandre Stauffer - 12 Febbraio - Sapienza Università di Roma
by Lorenzo Taggi 06 Feb '24

06 Feb '24

Lunedì 12 Febbraio 2024, ore 16:00, Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica "Guido Castelnuovo", Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker:* Alexandre Stauffer (King's College London and University of Bath) *Titolo:* Mixing time of random walk on dynamical random cluster *Abstract:* We consider a random walk jumping on a dynamic graph; that is, a graph that changes at the same time as the walker moves. Previous works considered the case where the graph changes via dynamical percolation, in which the edges of the graph switch between two states, open and closed, and the walker is only allowed to cross open edges. In dynamical percolation, edges change their state independently of one another. In this work, we consider a graph dynamics with unbounded dependences: Glauber dynamics on the random cluster model. We derive tight bounds on the mixing time when the density of open edges is small enough. For the proof, we construct a non-Markovian coupling using a multiscale analysis of the environment. This is based on joint work with Andrea Lelli.

Carissimi colleghi, scusandomi per eventuali invii multipli, vi inoltro il seguente annuncio di seminario. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordialmente, Enea Bongiorno -------------------------------- - data e orario: 8 Febbraio 2024 ore 11.30 - aula 206, campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara. Università del Piemonte Orientale. - on-line: meet.google.com/ign-wqer-sjs *Title:* Fuzzy clustering: from numerical to complex data *Prof.ssa Maria Brigida Ferraro*, Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, Università di Roma Sapienza *Abstract*: The fuzzy approach to clustering arises to cope with situations where objects have not a clear assignment. Unlike the hard/standard approach where each object can only belong to exactly one cluster, in a fuzzy setting, the assignment is soft; that is, each object is assigned to all clusters with certain membership degrees varying in the unit interval. The best known fuzzy clustering algorithm is the fuzzy k-means (FkM), or fuzzy c-means. It is a generalization of the classical k-means method. Starting from the FkM algorithm, and in more than 40 years, several variants have been proposed. The peculiarity of such different proposals depends on the type of data to deal with, and on the cluster shape. The aim is to show fuzzy clustering alternatives to manage different kinds of data, ranging from numerical, categorical or mixed data to more complex data structures, such as interval-valued, fuzzy-valued or functional data, together with some robust methods. Furthermore, the case of two-mode clustering is illustrated in a fuzzy setting. ----------------------------------- Locandina dell'evento <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GKblCZbsIW05BUB3___0cLxRJ2MVPirU/view?usp=…> Seminari Matematici Statistici <https://sites.google.com/uniupo.it/seminari-ms/home-page> ----------------------------------- -- Enea Bongiorno, Università degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale Via Perrone 18, 28100, Novara, Italia Phone: +390321375317 enea.bongiorno(a)uniupo.it upobook.uniupo.it/enea.bongiorno

Cari, vi scrivo per annunciare il seminario di Leonardo Lelli il 2 febbraio 2024 alle ore 14 in Sala di Consiglio presso il Dipartimento di Matematica Guido Castelnuovo, Sapinza Università di Roma, Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 Roma ............................................................................................................. Title Zero-temperature stochastic Ising model on quasi-transitive graphs Abstract We examine the question of fixation for zero-temperature stochastic Ising model on some connected quasi-transitive graphs. The initial spin configuration is distributed according to a Bernoulli product measure with parameter $p\in (0,1) $. We prove that the shrink property for the underlying graph is a necessary condition for all sites to flip infinitely often almost surely (in this case the model is said of type I). Our main result shows that if $p=1/2 $ and the graph is connected and invariant under rotations and translations, then a strengthening of the shrink property, called the planar shrink property, implies that the model is of type I. We provide an infinite class of graphs having the planar shrink property. Finally, we prove that for one-dimensional translation invariant graphs, the shrink property is a necessary and sufficient condition for the model to be of type I. This talk is based on joint work with my thesis advisor Emilio De Santis. ............................................................................................. Cordiali saluti, Emilio De Santis

Nuovi Seminari PRISMA - 5 feb 2024
by Francesco Caravenna 30 Jan '24

30 Jan '24

Nuovi Seminari PRISMA 2024 Annunciamo con piacere il nuovo programma di seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (PRobability In Statistics, Mathematics and Applications: http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) Da quest'anno i seminari avranno un formato diverso, in uno stile di "colloquium", per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprenderà due relatori, che terranno due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Il primo appuntamento si terrà lunedì 5 febbraio 2024. I relatori saranno Sandra Fortini (Università Bocconi) e Dario Trevisan (Università di Pisa) che presenteranno Un'introduzione ai limiti di scala delle reti neurali artificiali 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://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82939128330 <https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82939128330> Meeting ID: 829 3912 8330 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Sandra Fortini (Università Bocconi), Dario Trevisan (Università di Pisa) TITOLO: Un'introduzione ai limiti di scala delle reti neurali artificiali RIASSUNTO: Il seminario si propone di presentare un'introduzione alla teoria dei limiti di scala delle reti neurali artificiali, con un'attenzione particolare rivolta a un pubblico esperto di probabilità e statistica matematica. La tendenza attuale nel campo dell'apprendimento automatico è di utilizzare reti neurali profonde con un numero enorme di parametri, inizializzati spesso in modo (pseudo-)casuale. Questo approccio, che nella pratica si rivela estremamente efficace, offre anche una prospettiva teorica utile per comprendere alcune delle proprietà che rendono tale tecnica così potente, ma anche di evidenziarne possibili limiti. L'intervento sarà suddiviso in due parti, ciascuna incentrata su un aspetto del tema. Dopo una breve introduzione alle reti neurali artificiali e al loro utilizzo pratico nell'apprendimento automatico, la prima parte si concentrerà sulla struttura delle reti all'inizializzazione, limitandoci per semplicità alle architetture più semplici. Esploreremo in più dettaglio alcuni dei risultati principali riguardanti i limiti di scala ``ampio'' e ``profondo'' per reti neurali inizializzate con pesi casuali, concentrandoci su alcuni risultati recenti che stabiliscono una equivalenza asintotica tra reti neural profonde e opportuni processi gaussiani. Nella seconda parte, ci concentreremo sulla dinamica dell'addestramento delle reti neurali. Dopo una breve panoramica sui principali algoritmi utilizzati in scenari reali, ci concentreremo su alcuni dei risultati teorici rigorosi, validi per reti ampie e/o profonde: descriveremo in particolare la dinamica guidata dal Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) nel limite dell'addestramento ``lazy'' e la dinamica di gradiente di Wasserstein nel limite di campo medio. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Carissimi colleghi, scusandomi per eventuali invii multipli, vi inoltro il seguente annuncio di seminario. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordialmente, Enea Bongiorno -------------------------------- 6 febbraio 2024 ore 14.00 - aula 206, campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara. Università del Piemonte Orientale. - on-line: http://meet.google.com/cto-jsdt-pay *Title*: Bayesian Calibration of Option Pricing Models Dr. Luca Gonzato, University of Vienna, Department of Statistics and Operations Research *Abstract*: Calibration of option pricing models to the implied volatility surface is a complicated, yet fundamental task in the quantitative finance community. By exploiting Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods we turn the standard calibration problem into a Bayesian estimation task. In this way we can construct a sequence of distributions from the prior to the posterior which allows to compute any statistic of the estimated parameters, to overcome the strong dependence on the starting point and to avoid troublesome local minima; all of which are typical plagues of the standard calibration. To highlight the strength of our approach we consider the calibration of the double jump stochastic volatility model of Duffie et. al (2000) both on simulated and real option data. From the results on both single dates and time series of implied volatilities we find that our Bayesian approach largely outperforms the benchmark in terms of run time-accuracy, option pricing errors and statistical fit. Finally, we show how to further speed up computations by leveraging delayed-acceptance MCMC methods and deep learning. This is a joint work with R. Brignone, S. Knaust and E. Lutkebohmert, University of Friburg. ----------------------------------- Locandina dell'evento <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cafNljjg5n3KSS9laizaryY8nkX6O6GD/view?usp=…> Seminari Matematici Statistici <https://sites.google.com/uniupo.it/seminari-ms/home-page> ----------------------------------- -- Enea Bongiorno, Università degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale Via Perrone 18, 28100, Novara, Italia Phone: +390321375317 enea.bongiorno(a)uniupo.it upobook.uniupo.it/enea.bongiorno

The availability of large and complex datasets has stimulated the development of tail index regression techniques that can capture complex relationships between a large number of predictors and a dependent variable of interest. However, available methods are either flexible and asymptotically justified but do not scale well with the dimension of the predictor space, or well-suited in high-dimension but lack asymptotic results. This paper presents a novel random forest approach that fills this gap. We establish the asymptotic normality of our tail index regression forest estimator under mild assumptions on the tail behavior of the dependent variable. An extensive simulation study and an application to the conditional distribution of ROE for a large cross-section of U.S. companies confirm that our approach outperforms existing parametric and non-parametric tail index regression methods. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82054178592?pwd=NHI1RHBLYnUwVUFoSW9HSVhUN3F6dz09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

De Finetti Risk Seminar: Giorgio Ferrari
by Marco Maggis 26 Jan '24

26 Jan '24

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the "B. de Finetti Risk Seminars, Milano Lectures on the Mathematical Theory of Economics and Finance”, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following lecture: Giorgio Ferrari Bielefeld University Title: Stationary Mean-field Games with Singular Controls Abstract: In this talk I will present recent and ongoing results on existence, uniqueness, and characterization of equilibria for mean-field games with singular controls. This class of problems finds natural applications in Economics and Finance, such as in investment problems in oligopolies. In those games, the representative agent employs a bounded-variation control in order to maximize an ergodic profit functional depending on a long-time average of the controlled state-process. Several variants of the considered games will be presented, ranging from one-dimensional settings to multi-dimensional ones. LOCATION: The seminar will be held on *February 7, *2024 at *17.00,* Aula 10 (First Floor), Dipart. Matematica, Università di Milano, Via Saldini 50, Milano. Scientific Committee: Prof. Simone Cerreia-Vioglio (Univ. Bocconi) Prof. Marco Frittelli (Univ. degli Studi di Milano) Prof. Fabio Maccheroni (Univ. Bocconi) Prof. Marco Maggis (Univ. degli Studi di Milano) Prof. Massimo Marinacci (Univ. Bocconi) Prof. Emanuela Rosazza Gianin (Univ. Milano-Bicocca)

SOfA conference 2024 - second announcement
by Mastrogiacomo Elisa 24 Jan '24

24 Jan '24

Apologies in advance for cross-posting *** Dear Colleagues, The University of Insubria and Bicocca are honored to host the next international academic conference in the fields of vector and set optimization, stochastic analysis, risk management, and operation research — the 6th International Conference on Set Optimization for Applications (SOfA 2024). This edition is going to take place in Stresa from June 3 to June 7, 2024. The 6th SOfA aims to bring together experts in various fields of set and vector optimization, convex and variational analysis, stochastic analysis, multivariate dynamic programming, multi-criteria decision-making, as well as applications in economics, risk measurement, game theory, and statistics. The conference is, by tradition, very open; the scientific and local committees long to move outside the stream of set and vector optimization and bring together people with a research record in set optimization, with some maybe only remotely related to this topic. So, a very mixed and curious audience is expected. Join us also for a scenic cruise trip on Lago Maggiore and savor the spectacle of its famous islands! We enthusiastically invite all researchers, practitioners, and students in the field described above and related areas to submit proposals for presentations at the 6th SOfA conference. Abstract submission and conference registration are now open! The 6th SOfA also features a couple of tutorials on dynamic programming and stochastic optimal control, and on solution concepts in set-optimization on June 3rd. For more information about the conference, please visit our conference website<https://sites.google.com/view/sofa2024/programme?authuser=0>. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with us at sofa2024.conference(a)gmail.com<mailto:sofa2024.conference@gmail.com>. **Given the high tourist demand in June, we strongly recommend booking as soon as possible. Availability is not guaranteed for last-minute bookings, and rates will increase as the conference start date approaches.** We look forward to your active participation in making the 6th SOfA a diverse and engaging conference for knowledge exchange.

Seminario C. Gaetan presso Politecnico di Milano
by Laura Maria Sangalli 24 Jan '24

24 Jan '24

Si avvisa che in data 06.02.24, alle ore 14:30 precise, presso il Dipartimento di Matematica del Politecnico di Milano, in aula Saleri (VI piano) nell’ambito delle attività del MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Carlo Gaetan, Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia Link: https://mox.polimi.it/mox-colloquia-seminars-list/mox-seminars/?id_evento=2… Titolo: On modelling space-time threshold exceedances Abstract: The modeling of spatiotemporal extremes initially relied on asymptotic models (i.e., max-stable or r-Pareto processes) for block maxima or peaks above high thresholds. However, in many cases, empirical evidence suggested that these models were too rigid to capture the situation where more severe events tend to be more spatially and temporally localized. Recently, in order to cope with this situation, the literature has focused on different types of models that can more flexibly capture the so-called "sub-asymptotic" situation. After briefly reviewing these recent advances, we present a space-time model of threshold exceedances that embeds the spatial dependence in a time series formulation with different forms of limiting dependence with increasing threshold. Inference from the observed data is difficult due to a high-dimensional censoring scheme, and we propose an indirect inference procedure for estimation. The proposal is illustrated using a rainfall dataset.

Seminario di Roberto Fontana, mercoledì 24 gennaio ore 11 presso CNR IMATI, Milano
by ANTONIO PIEVATOLO 19 Jan '24

19 Jan '24

The class of Multivariate Bernoulli distributions with given identical margins Roberto Fontana, Politecnico di Torino, Department of Mathematical Sciences roberto.fontana(a)polito.it The main contributions of the work (joint with P. Semeraro, Politecnico di Torino) are algorithms to sample from multivariate Bernoulli distributions and to determine the distributions and bounds of a wide class of indices and measures of probability mass functions. Probability mass functions of exchangeable Bernoulli distributions are points in a convex polytope, and we provide an analytical expression for the extremal points of this polytope. The more general class of multivariate Bernoulli distributions with identical marginal Bernoulli distributions with parameter p is also a convex polytope. However, finding its extremal points is a more challenging task. Our novel theoretical contribution is to use an algebraic approach to find a set of analytically available generators. We also solve the problem of finding the lower bound in the convex order of multivariate Bernoulli distributions with given margins, but with unspecified dependence structure. Multivariate Bernoulli Distributions; Convex polytopes Il seminario avrà luogo il 24 gennaio alle 11 nella sala Pentagonale all'Area della Ricerca del CNR di via Alfonso Corti, 12, Milano.

Seminar W. Bock - Sapienza, 22-1-2024
by Luisa Beghin 17 Jan '24

17 Jan '24

Dear all, we are pleased to invite you to the following seminar, which can be attended also via Zoom. *Location:* Room n.24, 4th floor, Edificio CU002 (Scienze Statistiche) *Zoom: * https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/84380852385?pwd=RDBrcVdvelRMM0VmczlXYWgwL2pPZz09 *Time:* *Monday 22nd of January, at 14.30* *Speaker: *Wolfgang Bock (Linnaeus University) *Title:* Recent Results on the Generalized Grey Brownian Motion *Abstract*: Grey Brownian motion was introduced by Schneider in 1990. In his work Schneider showed that indeed the process fulfills a Feynman-Kac like formula for the solution of the fractional heat equation. In the 2000s the process was generalized by Mainardi et al. In 2016 the group of Grothaus established a White Noise like calculus for the process, also introducing spaces of test and generalized functions. In this talk, we will review this recent development and give an overview of the analysis and the most recent results. In an outlook, we give a strategy on how to introduce spaces of regular distributions to obtain a form of regularity theory.

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (19 Gennaio) alle ore 14:30 in aula 1BC50 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Francesco Pedrotti (Institute of Science and Technology Austria) <https://sites.google.com/view/francescopedrotti/home-page?authuser=0> https://sites.google.com/view/francescopedrotti/home-page?authuser=0 Title: Contractive coupling rates and curvature lower bounds for reversible Markov chains Date: January 19, 2024, at 14:30, room 1BC45 Abstract: Ricci curvature lower bounds for Riemannian manifolds have been linked to many functional inequalities: this has motivated the seminal independent works of Sturm and Lott and Villani, who extended the notion of curvature lower bound and many of its consequences to a large class of metric measure spaces. In spite of its generality, this theory does not apply to Markov chains on discrete spaces; for this reason, several adapted notions of curvature have been proposed, based on different equivalent characterizations of curvature of Riemannian manifolds. Different notions have different pros and cons: e.g., the entropic curvature of Erbar and Maas is hard to compute in some examples, while Olliviers coarse Ricci curvature is not known to imply a modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality. It is still an open problem to compare these notions. In the present work, adapting arguments of a recent article by Conforti, we show how contractive coupling rates (a concept naturally connected to Olliviers curvature) can be used to establish entropic curvature lower bounds for some examples of reversible Markov chains. Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin Sito web del seminario: https://www.math.unipd.it/~chiarini/seminars/

15 Jan '24

Dear all, a kind reminder that the deadline for the abstract submission for contributed talks or poster at BioInference2024 (5th -7th June at Warwick https://bioinference.github.io/2024/) is quickly approached, being it on the 31st January 2024. If you are interested on mathematical modelling and statistical methods for (widely defined/interpreted) biological problems, then please consider submitting an abstract here forms.gle/SBawnWD3k8iSS1Vt6<http://forms.gle/SBawnWD3k8iSS1Vt6> More info are reported below. Best, Massi on the behalf of the BioInference2024 organising committee ------------------------------------ The BioInference 2024 conference (https://bioinference.github.io/2024/) is taking place at the University of Warwick on the 5th-7th June 2024, and it will combine a data-driven meeting on day 1 (registration fee: £30) with the main two-day conference on the 6th and 7th June 2024 (registration fee: £70). Launched in 2022, BioInference aims to bring together researchers from across statistics and mathematical modelling who work with biological systems, and from all career stages, to foster discussions between the two communities and to prompt collaborations. The talks from the two previous BioInference conferences are available via our public YouTube channel (youtube.com/@bioinference5299<http://youtube.com/@bioinference5299>). The two-day conference will combine contributed talks and poster sessions. We now invite abstracts for oral/poster presentations on work either relating to statistical methods development (so long as those methods are applicable to biological systems) or on the application of statistical methods to solve biological problems. All presentations will be in-person. Abstracts can be submitted via a Google form (forms.gle/SBawnWD3k8iSS1Vt6<http://forms.gle/SBawnWD3k8iSS1Vt6>) and the deadline is on the 31st January 2024. It is our pleasure to confirm that this year's invited speakers are: * Alex Browning<https://alexbrowning.me/>, University of Oxford * Sarah Filippi<https://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/s.filippi>, Imperial College London * Hong Ge<https://mlg.eng.cam.ac.uk/hong/>, University of Cambridge * Hamid Rahkooy<https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/rahkooy/bio.html>, University of Oxford * Heba Sailem<https://www.hebasailem.com/>, King’s College London * Catalina Vallejos<https://www.ed.ac.uk/mrc-human-genetics-unit/research/vallejos-group>, University of Edinburgh The conference organising committee is committed to ensuring fair participation of individuals across all career stages, genders, races and ethnicities, ages, geographic locations, and universities. Data-driven meeting: problems and methodologies This year, we are also running an optional event on the 5th June at Warwick before the main conference starts. This aims to bring together mathematicians, statisticians and those who possess or generate datasets and would like to analyse them/answer some open questions. These may include biologists, clinicians etc in academia and industry. The idea of this meeting is to think about potential solutions to these data-based problems, gathering interest for possible collaborations between individuals across disciplines, institutions and career stages. The day would consist of a range of presentations by the experimental/business partners in the morning, and focus/discussion groups in the afternoon, aiming to start formulating an action plan to tackle the open challenges. The cost of attending day one is £30 in addition to the registration fee for the main conference.

We establish that tempering SMC is a numerical approximation of entropic mirror descent applied to the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence and obtain convergence rates for the tempering iterates. Our result motivates the tempering iterates from an optimization point of view, showing that tempering can be used as an alternative to Langevin-based algorithms to minimize the KL divergence. We exploit the connection between tempering and mirror descent iterates to justify common practices in SMC and propose improvements to algorithms in literature. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85042791274?pwd=V05aejBLYXEyL1lRNURFMUZIcy9PUT09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Seminario di Michele Salvi alla Sapienza, Martedì 16/01/24
by Faggionato, Alessandra 11 Jan '24

11 Jan '24

Buongiorno Martedì 16 Gennaio Michele Salvi terrà un seminario di Probabilità al Dipartimento di Matematica della Sapienza Sotto trovate i dettagli. Grazie per l'attenzione Saluti Alessandra %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Speaker: Michele Salvi (Università di Tor Vergata) Where: Sala di Consiglio, Dip. di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma When: Tuesday 16 January, 14:00 (sharp) Title: *From the Uniform to the Minimum Spanning Tree* Abstract: A spanning tree of a graph G is a connected subset of G without cycles. The *Uniform Spanning Tree* (UST) is obtained by choosing one of the possible spanning trees of G at random. The *Minimum Spanning Tree* (MST) is realised instead by putting random weights on the edges of G and then selecting the spanning tree with the smallest weight. These two models exhibit markedly different behaviours: for example, their diameter on the complete graph with n nodes transitions from n^1/2 for the UST to n^1/3 for the MST. What lies in between? We introduce a model of *Random Spanning Trees in Random Environment* (RSTRE) designed to interpolate between UST and MST. In particular, when the environment disorder is sufficiently low, the RSTRE on the complete graph has a diameter of n^1/2 as the UST. Conversely, when the disorder is high, the diameter behaves like n^1/3 as for the MST. We conjecture a smooth transition between these two values for intermediate levels of disorder. This talk is based on joint work with Rongfeng Sun and Luca Makowiec (NUS Singapore). -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato https://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/people/faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************

SPASS Seminar: Lucio Galeati
by Andrea Agazzi 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *A.e. uniqueness for (stochastic) Lagrangian trajectories for Leray solutions to 3D Navier-Stokes* by Lucio Galeati (EPFL) The seminar will take place on TUE, 16.01.2024 at 14:00 CET in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: * *We revisit a result due to Robinson and Sadowski (2009), who first showed a.e. uniqueness of Lagrangian trajectories for admissible weak solutions to $3$D Navier-Stokes, for sufficiently regular $u_0$. We give an alternative proof, based on a newly established asymmetric Lusin-Lipschitz property of Leray solutions, exploited crucially in the arguments from Caravenna-Crippa (2021) and Brué-Colombo-De Lellis (2021). This approach is more robust, requiring no assumptions on $u_0$ and being applicable also to the stochastic characteristics of the system.Finally, if $u_0$ is regular (say $u_0\in H^{1/2}$), then we are able to exploit the diffusive behaviour of stochastic trajectories to further prove that, for any fixed $x_0\in\mathbb{R}^d$, path-by-path uniqueness for the SDE $d X_t = u(t,X_t) d t + d B_t, X|t=0 = x_0$.*

Dear all, you are all invited to participate to the following seminar on *Tuesday 23th of January 2023 at 16:00* in Aula Seminari Demografica 2062 at University of Milano Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8, Milano - building U7, 2nd floor): Speaker: *Alessandro Doldi* (University of Florence) Titolo: *Collective Arbitrage and the Value of Cooperation* Abstract: The paper aims at extending the classical Arbitrage Pricing Theory to a scenario where N agents engage in financial market investments and are permitted to collaborate through exchanges. Within this framework, we introduce the concepts of Collective Arbitrage and Collective Super-replication. Subsequently, we establish versions of the fundamental theorem of asset pricing and the pricing-hedging duality tailored to this cooperative setting. Illustrative examples demonstrate the advantages of our proposed approach. The novel notions of Collective Arbitrage and Collective Super-replication highlight the pivotal role of cooperation and the multidimensional aspect. Notably, when there is only a single agent involved, the theory reduces to the classical one.

1 Year Post-Doc position in Verona
by Alessandro Gnoatto 23 Dec '23

23 Dec '23

1 Year Post-Doc position in Verona I am looking for a post-doc to join my group. The topic of the research project is "Machine learning and stochastic control for financial risk management” The aim of this project is to study new methods, models, and numerical techniques for the treatment of financial risk management problems, in particular counterparty credit risk (xVA) or the pricing of financial and insurance claims. Many problems in finance involve the minimization of a cost functional subject to controlled stochastic state variables. Controls or related quantities in high dimension can be conveniently approximated by means of artificial neural networks. The aim of the project is to study control problems under general dynamics together with the development of new models for the evolution of risk factors, with a special focus on interest rates. The candidate should have a solid background in probability, stochastic calculus and computational finance. Experience with the Java and/or Python programming languages and Machine Learning frameworks such as Tensorflow, Deep Java Library or Deeplearning4J is a plus. Candidates will be evaluated based on their scientific quality and their potential in developing research. There are no teaching obligations and knowledge of Italian is not required. The deadline for applications is the 11 January 2024 (h. 13.00).
