Secondo ciclo di seminari online sulle applicazioni della probabilità in economia: Daria Ghilli
by Enrico Scalas 13 Jul '26

13 Jul '26

Il 16 luglio 2026 alle ore 14 Daria Ghilli, Department of Economics and Management, University of Pavia terrà un seminario dal titolo Mean Field Games in infinite dimensional spaces and applications to economics Abstract: We present an overview of mean field game models for large populations of forward-looking agents whose individual state is naturally infinite-dimensional. This situation arises when agents’ dynamics involve variables such as age, spatial position, memory or path-dependent effects, or delay. These features are common in economic applications, including vintage capital models, production planning problems, and systemic risk. We explain how infinite-dimensional techniques make it possible to reformulate such dynamics as abstract evolution equations in Hilbert spaces, often eliminating the explicit delay by enlarging the state variable. We then present some recent results and discuss applications to vintage capital models and systemic risk.

SEMINARIO presso Politecnico di Milano - 13.07.26 ore 11:30 - Soumick Chatterjee
by Laura Maria Sangalli 29 Jun '26

29 Jun '26

Cari Colleghi, A seguire annuncio di un seminario organizzato presso il Laboratorio MOX - Politecnico di Milano: Soumick Chatterjee, Human Technopole 13.07.26 ore 11:30 – Aula Saleri Link: https://mox.polimi.it/mox-colloquia-seminars-list/mox-seminars/?id_evento=2… Titolo: A Chain of Estimation Problems in Medical Imaging: Probabilistic Modelling from Reconstruction to Genetics Abstract: A medical image is never observed directly. It is inferred from incomplete measurements, interpreted under genuine ambiguity, compressed into a usable description, and finally explained in terms of underlying biology. This talk uses that chain as its backdrop and takes up three distinct estimation problems situated at different points along it, each filling a different gap that the others leave open. The common stance is that each problem is best posed in terms of a distribution or an estimator rather than a single picture. The first problem is reconstruction, an ill-posed inverse problem: the image has to be recovered from far fewer measurements than there are unknowns, so the solution is not unique. Estimators that learn the prior structure of plausible images from data, while staying consistent with the measurements actually acquired, then single out a high-quality reconstruction. The second is interpretation under expert disagreement, where a single segmentation is untenable and the natural target becomes a predictive distribution, learned by matching expert variability through statistical divergences and assessed through calibration. The third is the move from image to biology: unsupervised generative models place whole-organ images on a low-dimensional manifold, yielding compact and reproducible descriptors of anatomy and function. Treated as quantitative phenotypes, these descriptors are then linked to the genome through heritability estimation and genome-wide association in tens of thousands of individuals, recovering and extending known genetic architecture. The thread throughout is that careful probabilistic and mathematical modelling, rather than any single method, is what turns images into biological insight.

Secondo ciclo di seminari online sulle applicazioni della probabilità in economia
by Enrico Scalas 29 Jun '26

29 Jun '26

Buongiorno, vi segnaliamo le date e i contenuti del secondo ciclo di seminari estivi online sulle applicazioni della probabilità in economia organizzate dal gruppo UMI PRISMA. 16 luglio 2026, ore 14 Daria Ghilli, Department of Economics and Management, University of Pavia Title: Mean Field Games in infinite dimensional spaces and applications to economics Abstract: We present an overview of mean field game models for large populations of forward-looking agents whose individual state is naturally infinite-dimensional. This situation arises when agents’ dynamics involve variables such as age, spatial position, memory or path-dependent effects, or delay. These features are common in economic applications, including vintage capital models, production planning problems, and systemic risk. We explain how infinite-dimensional techniques make it possible to reformulate such dynamics as abstract evolution equations in Hilbert spaces, often eliminating the explicit delay by enlarging the state variable. We then present some recent results and discuss applications to vintage capital models and systemic risk. 23 luglio 2026, ore 14 Miguel Angel Sordo Diaz, Departamento de Estadística e Investigación Operativa, Universidad de Cádiz Title: A Spearman-like coefficient for upper-tail association analysis Abstract: Quantifying association during extreme events is of paramount importance in fields such as finance, insurance, and environmental sciences. Classical correlation measures often fail to capture co-movements in the tails of distributions, while traditional boundary tail coefficients collapse under asymptotic independence, rendering them blind to subasymptotic concentration. In this paper, we introduce a unified framework of Spearman-like, tail-sensitive indices constructed via the ranks and concomitants of the data to assess localized association conditional on large threshold exceedances. We establish two complementary families of measures: a discrete two-parameter family that encompasses Spearman's $\rho$ as a special case, and a continuous single-parameter family obtained as its asymptotic limit. This threshold-defined framework offers a flexible, interpretable diagnostic tool that continuously tracks tail-association paths and successfully discriminates among fundamentally distinct subasymptotic structures where classical boundary indicators vanish. For both families, we investigate their theoretical properties - including their limiting behavior at the absolute boundary - propose empirical plug-in estimators, and derive their asymptotic distributions. The operational advantages of the indices are verified through analytical illustrations across diverse copula families and demonstrated via an empirical application to global catastrophic risk. 25 settembre 2026 ore 14 Sara Biagini, Department of AI, Data and Decision Sciences, LUISS University, Rome Title: An introduction to carbon markets regulation: carbon neutrality and Net-Zero Abstract: After introducing carbon markets, we analyze the impact of carbon dioxide regulation on a system of polluting, heterogeneous companies. We consider two compliance frameworks: one based on an emission trading system (ETS) mechanism and the other relying only on abatement efforts. The shocks in the economy are spanned by a multivariate Brownian motion, and the companies’ emissions are modeled as general diffusions. Firms must match their projected emission imbalance with their reduction effort at the compliance date in both frameworks. Under the ETS program, to do so firms can both abate and trade carbon permits in the ETS permits exchange. Existence and uniqueness of the optimal abatement and trade, together with the equilibrium carbon price, are proven under mild necessary and sufficient conditions. The optimizers and the carbon price are explicit, and their analytic expressions provide an instance of classic economic principles. Numerical examples illustrate the flexibility of the model in the study of the effect of significant allocation policies. Under the net-zero framework, firms can only rely on abatement, which is also provided in closed-form. Seguiranno, per ciascun seminario, le istruzioni per partecipare.

Cari Colleghi, A seguire annuncio di un seminario organizzato presso il Laboratorio MOX - Politecnico di Milano Hedayat Fathi, Université Laval, Québec 10.07.26 ore 11:30 – Aula Saleri Link: https://mox.polimi.it/mox-colloquia-seminars-list/mox-seminars/?id_evento=2… Titolo: SOFIA and MIP-FoSR: Two Methods for Variable Selection in Functional Linear Regression Abstract: This presentation covers two recent contributions to variable selection in functional linear regression. For the scalar-on-function setting, we propose SOFIA (Scalar-On-Function Integrated Adaptive Lasso). We assume the functional covariates are in a Hilbert space while the coefficient functions belong to a specific subspace of it, such as a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. In this way, we impose a controlled level of smoothness or periodicity on the coefficients. The method satisfies a functional oracle property even when the number of predictors exceeds the sample size. For the function-on-scalar setting, we propose MIP-FoSR, a mixed-integer programming framework that performs simultaneous variable selection and outlier detection. It extends the "mean-shift outlier model" to the functional setting, and uses grouped binary indicators on basis-expansion coefficients to impose explicit bounds on the number of selected predictors and detected outliers. We establish an equivalence with a functional sparse trimming problem, derive a finite-sample breakdown point, and prove a functional robust strong oracle property.

Starting from a function, mesh, or point cloud, one builds a filtration and extracts a topological summary, such as a persistence diagram, merge tree, or Reeb graph. I will discuss how these summaries encode coordinate-free and invariant information, and why turning this idea into a robust mathematical pipeline requires carefully designed metrics, stability results, and estimation procedures, using tools from topology, geometry, statistics, and optimal transport. This perspective also exposes a second difficulty: even once stable summaries have been constructed, many of them naturally live in non-linear metric spaces, making standard statistical and machine-learning methods difficult to apply directly. I will therefore conclude with recent work on Persistence Spheres, an explicit Hilbert-space embedding of persistence diagrams with provable bi-continuity, aimed at making topological summaries compatible with modern machine-learning pipelines.

Mini-mini course Alberto Bietti at Tor Vergata, June 30
by Michele Salvi 23 Jun '26

23 Jun '26

Dear all, It is not time to go to the seaside yet! On Tuesday, June 30th, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo in the Math Department of the University of Rome Tor Vergata, RoMaDS will host Alberto Bietti (Flatiron Institute, NYC), with the mini-mini-course (about 3 hours long) “Learning in Transformers with Associative Memories” Abstract: Large language models based on transformers have achieved great empirical successes. However, as they are deployed more widely, there is a growing need to better understand their internal mechanisms in order to make them more reliable. These models appear to store vast amounts of knowledge from their training data, and to adapt quickly to new information provided in their context or prompt. Through toy tasks for reasoning and factual recall, we highlight the role of weight matrices as associative memories, and provide theoretical results on how gradients enable their learning during training, how over-parameterization affects their storage capacity, and sample complexity. We encourage in-person partecipation. Should you be unable to come, here is the link to the Teams streaming: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/366597487320635?p=lk1ffPDon4Quh9ygMt The seminar is part of the Excellence Project MatMod@TOV.

Midsummer SURE-AI @ STAR seminars
by Leonardo Tarquini 19 Jun '26

19 Jun '26

Dear All, Midsummer is approaching with plenty to enjoy! The program features Xin Guo, University of Berkely with three lectures on Reinforcement Learning, Backward equations, LLM, and Rough Paths: SURE-AI@STAR Midsummer on Reinforcement Learning - Department of Mathematics <https://www.mn.uio.no/math/english/research/groups/risk-stochastics/events/…> mn.uio.no<http://mn.uio.no> You can register at the following link<https://nettskjema.no/a/619433#/page/1>. Also, we are pleased to announce the upcoming talk in the SURE-AI @ STAR seminar<https://www.mn.uio.no/math/english/research/groups/risk-stochastics/star-se…> series on Friday, June 26th, from 11:00 to 12:00 (Oslo time). As always, the talk will take place in a hybrid format: participants in Oslo can attend the talk in Room 723 in Niels Henrik Abels hus, whereas the international audience will be able to follow the talk via Zoom<https://uio.zoom.us/j/68891938436>. The speaker is Gonçalo dos Reis (University of Edinburgh) with the talk Title: Simulation of mean-field SDEs: some recent results Abstract: We review two results in the simulation for SDE of McKean-Vlasov type (MV-SDE). The first block of results addresses simulation of MV-SDEs having super-linear growth in the spatial and the interaction component in the drift, and non-constant Lipschitz diffusion coefficient. The 2nd block is far more curious. It addresses the study the weak convergence behaviour of the Leimkuhler--Matthews method, a non-Markovian Euler-type scheme with the same computational cost as the Euler scheme, for the approximation of the stationary distribution of a one-dimensional McKean--Vlasov Stochastic Differential Equation (MV-SDE). The particular class under study is known as mean-field (overdamped) Langevin equations (MFL). We provide weak and strong error results for the scheme in both finite and infinite time. We work under a strong convexity assumption. Based on a careful analysis of the variation processes and the Kolmogorov backward equation for the particle system associated with the MV-SDE, we show that the method attains a higher-order approximation accuracy in the long-time limit (of weak order convergence rate 3/2) than the standard Euler method (of weak order 1). While we use an interacting particle system (IPS) to approximate the MV-SDE, we show the convergence rate is independent of the dimension of the IPS and this includes establishing uniform-in-time decay estimates for moments of the IPS, the Kolmogorov backward equation and their derivatives. The theoretical findings are supported by numerical tests. This presentation is based on the joint work [1], [2]. [1] Chen, X., Dos Reis, G., Stockinger, W. and Wilde, Z., 2025.

Seminario di Gustavo Posta a Roma Tre il 03/06/2026 alle 13
by Pietro Caputo 03 Jun '26

03 Jun '26

Mercoledì *3 giugno *alle ore* 13.00*, Gustavo Posta (La Sapienza, Roma) terrà il seminario di Probabilità e Fisica Matematica dal titolo *"A perturbative criterion for ergodicity of quantum lattice systems".* Abstract: We analyze a class of quantum Feller semigroups describing the evolution of quantum interacting systems on a lattice. By regarding this evolution as a perturbation of a non-interacting dissipative dynamics, we obtain a purely dynamical quantitative criterion that implies uniqueness of the stationary state and exponential convergence of local observables.

REMINDER: ISBA-BNP June 2026 special interview webinar: Eugenio Regazzini
by Tommaso Rigon 02 Jun '26

02 Jun '26

Dear all, Apologies for cross-posting. This is a reminder of the upcoming special interview webinar in the ISBA-BNP webinar series, organized by the Bayesian Nonparametric Section of ISBA. Details about upcoming webinars, including the Zoom Registration link for this event, can be found at https://bnp-isba.github.io/webinars.html DATE & TIME: 15:00 UTC on Thursday June 4th, 2026. Note that 15:00 UTC corresponds to 11:00 US Eastern (EDT) and 17:00 Central European (CEST). SPEAKER: Eugenio Regazzini (University of Pavia) DESCRIPTION: This special interview webinar features a recorded interview with Prof. Eugenio Regazzini, conducted by Antonio Lijoi and Igor Prünster. Regazzini retraces his scientific itinerary from his student years at Bocconi in the late 1960s, when his thesis on hypothesis testing was assigned in an Italian landscape still dominated by Gini's descriptive tradition. He describes the state of probability and statistics in Italy in the late '60s and '70s, recalling the small network of probability chairs of the time and the "return" of de Finetti's ideas to Italy after Savage had championed them in the United States. He then recounts his long-standing collaboration with Donato Michele Cifarelli and the spark that led them into Bayesian nonparametrics — a 1935 abstract by de Finetti on "perequazione", combined with Ferguson's work on the Dirichlet process — which gave rise to their study of the distribution of the mean of a Dirichlet random measure (the Cifarelli–Regazzini identity). The interview closes with a reflection on what it means to be a subjectivist in the spirit of de Finetti, and with reading recommendations for young Bayesians. The interview is in Italian, with carefully curated English subtitles. Following the recording, there will be a live discussion with Prof. Regazzini. Best regards, Tommaso Rigon ------------------------ Tommaso Rigon Associate Professor of Statistical Science University of Milano-Bicocca https://tommasorigon.github.io

[SURE-AI@STAR Midsummer on Reinforcement Learning] June 23-25 - Xin Guo
by Leonardo Tarquini 02 Jun '26

02 Jun '26

Dear all, Join us for our upcoming workshop SURE-AI@STAR Midsummer on Reinforcement Learning. The event will take place on three different days in a hybrid format: participants in Oslo can attend the talk in Room 723 in Niels Henrik Abels hus, whereas the international audience will be able to follow the talk via Zoom (see link next to each talk). The lecturer is Xin Guo (UC Berkeley). Title: A control-theoretical perspective of continuous-time reinforcement learning Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a cornerstone of modern machine learning, enabling agents to learn optimal decision-making through interaction with complex environments and other agents. While RL was traditionally developed for discrete-time settings, many real-world physical and financial systems are intrinsically continuous. This series of lectures provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in continuous-time RL, analyzed through the rigorous lens of stochastic control theory. It consists of three parts. Registration<https://nettskjema.no/a/630234> is free, but mandatory for both in-person and online attendees to ensure the best logistics. The seminar link will be shared with all registered participants before the event starts. Part I. Foundations: Q-Functions and Dynamic Programming (23/06/2026, 13:00-16:00) We begin by establishing a bridge between RL and classical control theory. By leveraging the Dynamic Programming Principle (DPP) and the Feyman-Kac formula, we explore the similarities between these fields, specifically through the lens of continuous-time Q-functions, and martingale characterization. References [1] Gu, Guo, Wei, Xu (2020). Dynamic programming principle for mean field controls with learning. Operations Research, 2023. Arxiv: 1911.07314. [2] Gu, X.

[3] Cheng, Guo, Zhang (2025). Bridging discrete and continuous RL: stable deterministic policy gradient with martingale characterization. arXiv:2509.23711. Part II. The Theoretical Divide: Regret Analysis and BSDEs (24/06/2026, 13:00-16:00) To distinguish RL from classical control, we analyze ``the cost of learning'' through regret analysis. This section delves into the mathematical tools required to quantify performance gaps when the system model is unknown. We show how the regularity of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations and Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (BSDEs) enables establishing regret bounds. In the particular case of Linear-Quadratic (LQ) Models: we present proofs for logarithmic regret in episodic finite-horizon RL via regularities of the Riccati equation.

SIAM J. on Control Optimization (SICON). Arxiv.org/abs/2104.09311<http://arxiv.org/abs/2104.09311>. Part III. Modern Frontiers: Transfer Learning and Rough Paths (25/06/2026, 13:00-16:00) Finally, we explore how cutting-edge developments from Large Language Models (LLMs), such as transfer learning, can be integrated into RL to significantly boost algorithmic performance. We discuss fast policy learning for LQ control using entropy techniques to balance exploration and exploitation. We will also uncover how the regularity of rough paths provides a framework for analyzing policy transfer in continuous-time RL, offering a robust mathematical foundation for cross-domain adaptation.

However, advances in modeling and data acquisition have led to posterior distributions defined over increasingly complicated parameter spaces, making them difficult to interpret and summarize. This challenge extends to predictive distributions, which in modern applications may reside on non‑standard spaces such as partitions, sequences, or graphs. In this work, we develop tools for explaining and summarizing non‑standard posterior and predictive distributions arising in Bayesian learning. We illustrate the core ideas in context of clustering, utilizing the Wasserstein distance to obtain a succint, discrete summary of posterior distributions on the space of partitions. We further outline extensions to clustering with clutter and variable selection, and demonstrate how the proposed tools remain useful beyond the Bayesian setting when data itself is uncertain. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: chiunque volesse collegarsi è pregato di inviare un’email a matteo.giordano(a)unito.it <mailto:matteo.giordano@unito.it> Il webinar è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats <http://www.carloalberto.org/stats>) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

Reminder: OWABI - Kate Lee - May 28, 10am UK time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 26 May '26

26 May '26

Dear all, a kind reminder that the next OWABI seminar www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi> of the Season is on Thursday the 28th May at 10am UK time (a wrong date was circulated before, apologies for that!), when Kate Lee<https://profiles.auckland.ac.nz/kate-lee> <https://profiles.auckland.ac.nz/kate-lee> (University of Auckland) will talk about "Towards Robust and Scalable Bayesian Learning". The talk will be streamed on the OWABI MS Teams Channel General | OWABI Seminar: One World Approximate Bayesian Inference Seminar<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3AdhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KShEETkd_w…> at this link https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/382746871856192?p=U7SJQ144q6hLNVFGdS Meeting ID: 382 746 871 856 192 Passcode: FZ2gn73K Speaker: Kate Lee<https://profiles.auckland.ac.nz/kate-lee> (University of Auckland) Title: Towards Robust and Scalable Bayesian Learning Abstract: My talk consists of two parts. The first focuses on Generalised Bayesian Inference (GBI), where the loss hyperparameters are critical under model misspecification yet difficult to determine in a principled way. We introduce a Bayesian framework for hyperparameter inference using held-out data, enabling coherent estimation and uncertainty quantification, together with amortized generalized-posterior approximations that avoid repeated costly sampling across datasets and hyperparameter values. The second addresses scalability in simulation-based inference through data reduction, developing methods that learn informative low-dimensional summaries to enable efficient inference in complex settings, with applications to gravitational wave analysis. Keywords: GBI, SBI, amortized learning We're looking forward to seeing you next week, best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the OWABI Seminar Organisers ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino SFHEA Reader (Associate Professor) Department of Statistics WIHEA Fellow and Internationalisation Learning Circle Co-Lead University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino

Seminario di Yuval Peres a Roma Tre il 27/05/2026 ore 13:00
by Pietro Caputo 26 May '26

26 May '26

Seminario di Probabilità e Fisica Matematica a Roma Tre 27/05/2026 Mercoledì 27 Maggio alle ore 13.00, Yuval Peres (BIMSA Beijing) terrà il seminario di Probabilità e Fisica Matematica dal titolo "Random walk on dynamical percolation: separating critical and supercritical regimes". Abstract: In Dynamical Percolation each edge is open with probability p, refreshing its status at rate 𝜇 > 0. This process was introduced in the 1990s by Haggstrom, Steif and the speaker, motivated by a question of Malliavin. Remarkable results on exceptional times in two dimensions were obtained by Schramm, Steif, Garban and Pete. We study random walk on dynamical percolation in the lattice ℤ^d, where the walk moves along open edges at rate 1. Let p_c = p_c(d) denote the critical value for static percolation. For p < p_c and 𝜇 < 1, joint work with Stauﬀer and Steiﬀ (PTRF, 2015) showed the mean squared displacement is of order t𝜇. For p > p_c, we prove that the mean squared displacement is of order t, uniformly in 0 < 𝜇 < 1, refining results obtained with Sousi and Steif (PTRF, 2020). In the critical regime p= p_c, we prove that if d= 2 or d > 10, then the mean squared displacement is at most O(t𝜇^a) where a = a(d) > 0. We will show simulations to illustrate the process. (Joint work with Chenlin Gu, Jianping Jiang, Zhan Shi, Hao Wu and Fan Yang.) Il seminario si svolgerà in presenza presso il Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica, Lungotevere Dante, 376 - aula B308.
