Seminario: Samuele Stivanello, Ecology of human activities
by Antonio Pievatolo 11 Jun '19

11 Jun '19

Lunedi' 17 giugno alle 14:45, presso il CNR-IMATI, in via A. Corti, 12, Milano, Aula Pentagonale edificio Bassini II piano, si terrà il seguente seminario: Samuele Stivanello, Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita' di Padova Title: Ecology of human activities Abstract: One of the most studied macro-ecological pattern is the Relative Species Abundance (RSA), describing the distribution of the population among species. Various natural ecosystems share a common shape of the empirical RSA and through years ecologists have used several recipes - some of them are rule of thumb prescriptions - to determine global RSA features from local information. Recently our group has developed a rigorous statistical framework able to predict global scale biodiversity from scattered local plots ([2], [3]). Such a framework is derived from a simple mathematical model informed by basic biological assumptions. In this talk we illustrate how to adapt/generalize such an approach to human activities. In particular we consider four datasets of man-made systems and/or network mediated human activities: e-mail communication, Twitter posts, Wikipedia articles and Gutenberg books. Once we set the proper correspondence to what we consider species and individuals of a species, our approach reveals RSA is scale-free in each mentioned dataset with a power law form maintained - with roughly the same exponent - through the different human activities considered. In turn, RSA scale-invariance allows us to use activity information on local scale to predict hidden features of the human dynamics at the global scale. E-mail communication is particular relevant to illustrate our method as well as our results and possible applications. We consider the senders’ activity network where each node is a sender and a directed link from node A to node B represents an email issued from user A to user B. We set the identity of a sender to identify the species and the number of sent emails to be the individuals pertaining to a species. Thus, for instance, if user A has sent n emails we say that the species A has n individuals. Now, suppose an observer has access to a small sample of sent emails, or equivalently to partial information on links and nodes of the email communication network. Our method is capable to infer the number of nodes (i.e. the number of users) and the degree distribution (i.e. the topology) of the whole network, thus revealing features of the dynamics unknown to the observer. Moreover, our framework predicts how the number of users grows with the number of links recorded, which represents another well known pattern in ecology called the Species-Accumulation Curve (SAC). These findings may have applications in resource management, optimal network design and information diffusion on graphs. This is a work in collaboration with M. Formentin, A. Tovo and S. Favaro [1].

Set valued risk measures and Systemic risk measures at LUISS
by Sara 10 Jun '19

10 Jun '19

On July 2 from 10:30 to 13:00 - Room 207, at LUISS, viale Romania 32, Roma, prof. Cagin Ararat from Bilkent University will give two talks: Talk I Title: Set-valued quasiconvex risk measures Abstract: Set-valued risk measures are defined naturally in environments where it is necessary to measure the risk of a random vector. In this talk, we consider set-valued risk measures that are defined as compositions of two set-valued functions. This class of risk measures is rich enough to cover many examples of the systemic risk measures studied in the recent literature. We pay special attention to the properties of the constituent set-valued functions that guarantee the quasiconvexity of the composite risk measure. It turns out that the so-called natural quasiconvexity property, an old but not so well-known property between convexity and quasiconvexity, plays a key role in the study of these risk measures. The main results provide dual representations for quasiconvex, naturally quasiconvex and convex compositions in terms of the dual functions of the constituents. Talk II Title: Computation of systemic risk measures Abstract: Various approaches to measure systemic risk have been proposed in the recent literature using multivariate functionals. These functionals are typically defined in terms of a so-called aggregation function, which takes into account the interconnectedness of the institutions in the network, and a univariate risk measure applied to the random output of the aggregation function. In this talk, we specialize into the Eisenberg-Noe and Rogers-Veraart network models and formulate the corresponding systemic risk measures as large-scale vector optimization problems. While the former model yields a convex problem which can be solved efficiently using non-smooth optimization techniques, the efficient frontier for the latter model turns out to be the boundary of a non-convex set. -- Sara Biagini, Professor of Mathematical Finance Department of Economics and Finance LUISS Guido Carli Address: viale Romania, 32 - 00197 Roma Web: http://sites.google.com/site/sarabiagini/
