UNIVERSITA' DI SALERNO Dipartimento di Matematica AVVISO DI SEMINARI Mercoledì 1 giugno 2022, nella sala del consiglio del Dipartimento di Matematica, edificio F2, livello 1, si terranno i seguenti seminari in presenza e online (su Teams): 1) ore 15:00-15:45 - Prof. Enrico Scalas (University of Sussex, Brighton, UK) Limit theorems for prices of options written on semi-Markov processes link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZmRiNmFjZmUtNmFlMS00… We consider plain vanilla European options written on an underlying asset that follows a continuous time semi-Markov multiplicative process. We derive a formula and a renewal type equation for the martingale option price. In the case in which intertrade times follow the Mittag-Leffler distribution, under appropriate scaling, we prove that these option prices converge to the price of an option written on geometric Brownian motion time-changed with the inverse stable subordinator. For geometric Brownian motion time changed with an inverse subordinator, in the more general case when the subordinator's Laplace exponent is a special Bernstein function, we derive a time-fractional generalization of the equation of Black and Scholes. This is joint work with Bruno Toaldo 2) ore 16:00-16:45 - Dott. Giacomo Ascione (Scuola Superiore Meridionale, Napoli) Bulk behaviour of ground states for relativistic Schrödinger operators with spherical potential well link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_OTMzYTBmYTAtZDFiYS00… In this talk, we show a probabilistic representation of the ground state of a massive or massless Schrödinger operator with a spherical potential well. Such a representation will lead to a two-sided approximation with different behaviours depending on the fact that we are inside or outside the well. Both of them rely on some functionals of the first exit time of a subordinated Brownian motion from a suitable open set (the well or its complement). We also develop a moving planes-type argument to prove the radial monotonicity of the ground state, which is one of the main tools of the two-sided bounds. This is joint work with József Lőrinczi. Gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare, Cordiali saluti, Barbara Martinucci

Probability Seminar in Sapienza
by Lorenzo Taggi 26 May '22

26 May '22

Dear All, next Tuesday Nicolas Forien (Sapienza Università di Roma) will give a seminar talk on particle systems and interacting random walks. Please find the title and the abstract below. Best regards, Lorenzo Taggi Tuesday 31st of May, 16.15, Dipartimento di Matematica Università Sapienza, Aula Consiglio *Title:* On the phase transition of activated random walks *Abstract:* The Activated Random Walk model consists of particles which perform independent random walks on a graph and fall asleep with a certain rate. Sleeping particles stop moving and are awaken when another particle arrives on the same site. The model on Z^d presents a phase transition: depending on the density of particles (initially all active) and on the sleep rate, either almost surely each particle eventually falls asleep forever (fixating phase), or almost surely no particle falls asleep forever (active phase). In this talk, I will present a joint work with Alexandre Gaudillière (arxiv.org/abs/2203.02476) showing the existence of an active phase on Z^2: for every positive initial density of particles, for a sufficiently low sleep rate, almost surely no particle falls asleep forever.

Best wishes, Massimiliano on the behalf of the One World ABC Seminar Organisers. When: Wednesday May 25, 11.30am UK time Speaker: Harita Dellaporta<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwarwick.a…> (University of Warwick) Title: Robust Bayesian Inference for Simulator-based Models via the MMD Posterior Bootstrap Abstract: Simulator-based models are models for which the likelihood is intractable but simulation of synthetic data is possible. They are often used to describe complex real-world phenomena, and as such can often be misspecified in practice. In this talk, I will present a novel algorithm based on the posterior bootstrap and maximum mean discrepancy estimators. This leads to a highly-parallelisable Bayesian inference algorithm with strong robustness properties. This is demonstrated through an in-depth theoretical study which includes generalisation bounds and proofs of frequentist consistency and robustness of our posterior. The approach is then assessed on a range of examples including a g-and-k distribution and a toggle-switch model. ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Assistant Professor Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwarwick.a…> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sis-news" group.

Seminar in Pisa: Enrico Malatesta
by Francesco Grotto 23 May '22

23 May '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Enrico Malatesta (Bocconi) to be held Wednesday, May 25th, at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: May 25th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Enrico Malatesta Title: Phase transitions in the landscape of solutions of overparametrized neural networks. Abstract: Current deep neural networks are nonlinear devices composed of a number of parameters that far exceed the number of data points. Understanding how these systems can fit the data almost perfectly through variants of gradient descent algorithms and achieve exceptional levels of prediction accuracy without overfitting are key conceptual challenges. In this talk I will show how common techniques used in machine learning (e.g. the choice of the activation function or the loss) deeply affect the loss landscape, tending to mild its roughness. Then we shed light on the role of overparameterization in non-convex neural networks. By analytically studying a non-convex model of random features, we identify a novel (non-equilibrium) phase transition, that we call “Local Entropy” transition, controlled by the degree of overparameterization. In non-convex models this transition is strictly different to the SAT/UNSAT threshold and it coincides with the appearance of highly entropic minima of the error loss function. Those minima, in turn, are found to be highly attractive to the learning algorithms currently used in deep learning.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 27 Maggio 2022, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Alexander Cox* (University of Bath) Title: *Binary branching processes with Moran type interactions* Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss the large population limit of a binary branching particle system with Moran type interactions: we introduce a new model where particles evolve, reproduce and die independently and, with a probability that may depend on the configuration of the whole system, the death of a particle may trigger the reproduction of another particle, while a branching event may trigger the death of another one. We study the occupation measure of the new model, explicitly relating it to the Feynman-Kac semigroup of the underlying Markov evolution and quantifying the L2 distance between their normalisations. This model extends the fixed size Moran-type interacting particle system discussed in Del Moral, Burdzy et al, and Villemonais, and we will indeed show that our model outperforms the latter when used to approximate a birth and death process. We discuss several other applications of our model including the neutron transport equation, Sequential Monte Carlo methods, and population size dynamics.

Dear Colleagues, it is my pleasure to bring to your attention the following two seminars in Quantitative Finance, organised by LTI@UniTO. The seminars can be attended online via Zoom at the links accessible via the buttons below. Best regards, Luca Regis -- Luca Regis Associate Professor Department of Economics and Statistics (ESOMAS) University of Torino sites.google.com/view/lucaregis <http://sites.google.com/view/lucaregis> Office: +39 011 670 6065 www.carloalberto.org/lti <http://www.carloalberto.org/lti> <#> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/dxQszhXdTYSeK8TgXWVwPdgch-yVozm308…> <#> LTI@UniTO and Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following seminars: <#> *May 24, 2022 | 12:00-13:15* *Predicting Corporate Bond Returns: Merton Meets Machine Learning* *Amit Goyal (University of Lausanne)* <#> *Abstract.* We investigate the return predictability of corporate bonds using big data and machine learning. We find that machine learning models substantially improve the out-of-sample performance of stock and bond characteristics in predicting future bond returns. We also find a significant improvement in the performance of machine learning models when imposing a theoretically motivated economic structure from the Merton model, compared to the reduced-form approach without restrictions. Overall, our work highlights the importance of explicitly imposing the dependence between expected bond and stock returns via machine learning and Merton model when investigating expected bond returns. <#> *To attend in person, register here* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/hfP4I4mUbx241x0z60A6739Y-00wYiECyk…> <#> *To attend online, join Zoom Meeting* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/H7wKsG1vuV3OD31wQ_0E5gOGft1OURjriG…> <#> <#> *May 25, 2022 | 12:00 - 13:15* *JAQ of All Trades: Job Mismatch, Firm Productivity and Managerial Quality* *Marco Pagano (University of Naples Federico II)* <#> *Abstract.* Does the matching between workers and jobs help explain productivity differentials across firms? To address this question we develop a job-worker allocation quality measure JAQ by combining employer-employee administrative data with machine learning techniques. The proposed measure is positively and significantly associated with labor earnings over workers’ careers. At firm level, it features a robust positive correlation with firm productivity, and with managerial turnover leading to an improvement in the quality and experience of management. JAQ can be constructed for any employer-employee data including workers’ occupations, and used to explore the effect of corporate restructuring on workers’ allocation and careers. <#> *To attend in person, register here* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/ykATFHYX2laIzxQ_xgRrxeAEz3ksTLnNgK…> <#> *To attend online, join Zoom Meeting* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/Qu65mxHMOuyATkYSpHoaTbGG4jZwv1_-MW…> <#> <#> <#> <#> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/IfoXGKh5By8LrSGugLNRNVSXyH2VOsaTTd…> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/8usPEOcCcpYYly0bCauwMS_rfjHMGgHJVt…> <#> FONDAZIONE COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Piazza Arbarello 8 - 10122 Torino, Italy phone: +39011 15630 800 segreteria(a)carloalberto.org - www.carloalberto.org Facebook <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/96qDEBjI389G7GVS3NgHy4QU5ODhiSBUXH…> Twitter <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/NblUBI8B5HmNemhQAOs_hH9Lb0xHqj4qYn…> LinkedIn <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/rMMfajyr067kRoDawTi2FFsw8dBZwyxWPW…> Instagram <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/0wIj1P36GYdj7O34J7nWI5VyNMMLDGzqBJ…> Youtube <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/-09AvrjEn7eE8yYbc-ZCF8ERm7rdddPHti…> <#> *INFORMATION UNDER THE NEW GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)* Your personal information has been gathered for the exclusive purpose of informing you about the Collegio's initiatives, considering our and your legitimate interest or your consent.

Details: * Date and time: Wednesday, May 25, 2022 at 14.30 pm * Place: room 2AB40 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padua (Torre Archimede, via Trieste, 63, 35121 Padova) * Zoom link: please visit the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ * Title: On the Excursion Area of Time Dependent Spherical Random Fields * Abstract: In this talk, we consider isotropic and stationary real Gaussian time dependent random fields defined on the two dimensional unit sphere S^2 and we investigate the asymptotic behavior, as T tends to infinity , of the excursion area in S^2 × [0, T] at any threshold, covering both cases when the field exhibits short and long memory, that is, integrable and non-integrable temporal covariance. It turns out that the limiting distribution is not universal, depending both on the memory parameters and the threshold. The talk is based on a joint work with D. Marinucci and M. Rossi.

(PMS)^2 online talk: Sonia Mazzucchi
by margherita Zanella 18 May '22

18 May '22

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: Sonia Mazzucchi (Università di Trento) Title: Chernoff approximations for Feller semigroups in Riemannian manifolds. Abstract: In this talk I shall present the construction of Chernoff approximations for Feller semigroups in Riemannian manifolds of bounded geometry. This result provides approximations for solutions to initial-value problems for parabolic equations with variable coefficients on the manifold. It also yields the weak convergence of particular sequences of random walks on the manifolds to the diffusion processes associated with the elliptic generator. For parallelizable manifolds this result is applied in particular to the representation of the Brownian motion on the manifold as limit of the corresponding random walks. Date and time: Monday May 23, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone).

OGGI: seminario su "Comparative gene finding on highly diverse chromosome alleles", Marina Axelson-Fisk 17 May
by Umberto Picchini 17 May '22

17 May '22

/[questo e' il nuovo annuncio di un seminario per //*oggi*//17 Maggio che era stato precedentemente cancellato]/ You are welcome to the next Statistics seminar at Dept of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers and Göteborg University. On Tuesday May 17, Marina Axelson-Fisk <http://www.math.chalmers.se/~marinaa/> will talk of: ///"Comparative gene finding on highly diverse chromosome alleles" / * * marina axelson-fisk *About the speaker: *Marina Axelson-Fisk <http://www.math.chalmers.se/~marinaa/> is a Professor in Mathematical Statistics at Chalmers and University of Gothenburg. She works mainly within the field of Bioinformatics, with particular focus on stochastic models and algorithms for comparative genomics and cross-species gene finding. She is an associate member of the Linnaeus Centre for Marine Evolutionary Biology (CeMEB), where she is involved in the bioinformatics analysis of a number of newly sequenced Swedish coastal organisms. ** *Abstract:* With the new sequencing technologies, the number of novel genome sequences has exploded. At the same time the genome projects are hampered by the lack of homologies to the novel genome, making it difficult both to properly train genome analysis tools and to assess the results. Moreover, the faster and cheaper sequencing methods come with the cost of data quality, and sequencing and annotation errors that make it into the genome databases are propagated to new genomes, making annotation an even bigger challenge. Methods that can improve the data quality is desperately needed. Here we propose a novel use of comparative gene finding to improve the annotation in organisms with high nucleotide diversity. Comparative gene finding methods utilizes the contrast in sequence similarity between functional and non-functional regions of evolutionary related species. We show how this can be applied to chromosome pair sequences in diploid sequence data. We demonstrate the approach on the highly diverse sea orchid Balanus improvisus using SLAM, a cross-species gene finder that simultaneously annotates and aligns two homologous sequences using Generalized Pair Hidden Markov Models.* * *Feel free to spread this announcement in your network.* * * *Where*: room MVL14 or https://chalmers.zoom.us/j/62177902216 Password: 786749 ** **** *When*: Tuesday May 17 at 14.30-15.30*(Swedish time, UTC+2)*. ** -- _________________________________________________________ Umberto Picchini, Associate Professor, PhD, Docent https://umbertopicchini.github.io/ , twitter: @uPicchini

Seminars in Pisa: L. Andreis and G. Carigi
by Francesco Grotto 16 May '22

16 May '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminars by Luisa Andreis (Università di Firenze) and Giulia Carigi (University of Reading) to be held Wednesday, May 18th, at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: May 18th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Luisa Andreis (UniFi) Title:Large deviations for coagulation processes: an approach via graphs Abstract: Interacting particle systems where particles interact via coagulation are of great interest for their various behaviours. In particular, interesting phenomena can occur, depending on the structure of the kernel which is giving a rate to each coagulation. Among these phenomena there is the famous phase transition that goes under the name of gelation, i.e. the appearance of one (or multiple) giant particle(s). Although fluid limits are known for the rescaled version of stochastic coagulation processes (convergence to the Smoluchowski coagulation equation and its modification), very few is known about large deviations and rare events in this framework. In this talk we will explore some connections of these processes with random graphs and how to use this connection to attack the problem of studying large deviations. This also allows a comparison with the phase transition in graphs, where a giant component appears. Some remarks about the possible generalization to coagulation kernels that depend on spatial position will be given. This is based on ongoing joint works with Wolfgang K ̈onig (WIAS and TU Berlin), Tejas Iyer (WIAS), Heide Langhammer (WIAS), Elena Magnanini (WIAS) and Robert Patterson (WIAS). Time: May 18th, 2022, 15:00-16:00 CET Speaker: Giulia Carigi (University of Reading) Title: Ergodic properties for a stochastic two-layer model of geophysical fluid dynamics Abstract: A two-layer quasi-geostrophic model for geophysical flows is studied, with the upper layer being perturbed by additive noise. This model is popular in the geosciences, for instance to study the effects of a stochastic wind forcing on the ocean. A rigorous mathematical analysis however meets with the challenge that the noise configuration is spatially degenerate as the stochastic forcing acts only on the top layer. Exponential convergence of solutions laws is established, implying a spectral gap of the associated Markov semigroup on a space of Hölder continuous functions. Moreover, response theory with respect to changes in the average wind forcing is established. Specifically, it is shown that the averages of a class of observables against the invariant measure are differentiable (linear response) and locally Hölder continuous (fractional response) as functions of a deterministic additive forcing. In doing so, a framework suitable to establish (linear and fractional) response for a class of nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations is provided.

We explore the relaxation of the Gaussian assumption in Single Index models and Shrinkage estimation using two tools that originate in Stein’s method: Stein kernels, and the zero bias transform. Taking this approach leads to measures of discrepancy from the Gaussian that arise naturally from the nature of the procedures considered, and result in performance bounds in contexts not restricted to the Gaussian. The resulting bounds are tight in the sense that they include an additional term that reﬂects the cost of deviation from the Gaussian, and vanish for the Gaussian, thus recovering this particular special case.

Seminario di Michele Aleandri alla Sapienza

12 May '22

Buongiorno sotto l'annuncio del seminario di Michele Aleandri alla Sapienza. Grazie Saluti Alessandra %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Mercoledì 18 Maggio, ore 16, Sala di Consiglio, Sapienza Università di Roma SPEAKER: Michele Aleandri (Sapienza Università di Roma) TITOLO: Opinion dynamics: conformist and nonconformist interacting agents ABSTRACT: We study two models of binary decisions in a connected network of interacting agents. Individual decisions are determined by social influence, coming from direct interactions with neighbours, and a group level pressure that accounts for social environment. We study the convergence of the mean field variables associated to the processes as the number of agents goes to infinity and we show that propagation of chaos occurs. In the first model, [2], we have a family of conformist or nonconformist agents that interact with each other. When the number of agents is large but fixed, we study the amount of time spent by the mean field variables associated with the process around the stable points of the macroscopic dynamics. In a nonconformist environment, there is a persistent disordered phase where no majority is formed: We show how in this case the introduction of a delay mechanism in the agent’s detection of the global average choice may drastically change this scenario, giving rise to a coordinated self sustained periodic behavior. In the second model, [1], the population is divided into two social groups, each one characterized by its attitude with respect to the other. Agents of the same group interact with each other, while the other group exerts on them a social influence, that may also be null or even negative. We focus in particular on models with Lotka-Volterra type interactions, i.e., models with conformist vs. nonconformist groups. For these models, although the microscopic system is driven a.s. to consensus within each group, a periodic behaviour arises in the macroscopic scale. In order to describe fluctuations between the limiting periodic orbits, we identify a slow variable in the microscopic system and, through an averaging principle, we find a diffusion which describes the macroscopic dynamics of such variable on a larger time scale.

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Darrick Lee (EPFL) to be held tomorrow (May 10th) at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: May 10th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Darrick Lee (EPFL) Title: Mapping Space Signatures Abstract: The path signature is a foundational tool in the theory of rough paths. In this talk, we introduce the mapping space signature, a generalization of the path signature to maps from higher dimensional cubical domains, which is motivated by the topological perspective of K. T. Chen. We show that the mapping space signature shares many of the analytic and algebraic properties of the path signature; in particular it is universal and characteristic with respect to a certain equivalence relation on cubical maps. This is joint work with Chad Giusti, Vidit Nanda, and Harald Oberhauser.

Seminar by M. Burzoni in Verona (hybrid)
by Alessandro Gnoatto 09 May '22

09 May '22

Matteo Burzoni (University of Milan) will give a talk at the Department of Economics – University of Verona. Date: 11/05/2022 @ 12:00 (Rome Time) Title: On adjusted risk measures Abstract: We introduce different ways of adjusting classical risk measures in different contexts. We mainly discuss the properties of a new class of convex risk measures that robustifies Expected Shortfall by simultaneously controlling the expected losses associated with different portions of the tail distribution. The key element is a benchmark risk profile g which allows, at the same time, to tailor the risk assessment to the specific application of interest.

A second way of adjusting and robustifying risk measures is presented in a systemic risk framework which is not based on any probabilistic assumption.

Seminario di Probabilità - Roma La Sapienza
by Faggionato, Alessandra 05 May '22

Buongiorno, il Prof. Sebastian Andres terrà un seminario in Sala di Consiglio al Dipartimento di Matematica dell' Università La Sapienza , Lunedì 9 Maggio alle ore 16:00 (sotto i dettagli). Grazie dell'attenzione Saluti Alessandra %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Time: Monday 9 May 2022, at 16:00 Rome: Sala di Consiglio, Department of Mathematics, Sapienza University of Rome Speaker: Sebastian Andres (Manchester University) Title: First passage percolation with long-range correlations Abstract: In this talk we consider first passage percolation (FPP) with passage times generated by a general class of models with long-range correlations, including discrete Gaussian free fields as a prominent example. We will discuss conditions under which the associated time constant is positive and the FPP distance is comparable to the Euclidean distance. We will also present two applications to random conductance models (RCM) with possibly unbounded and strongly correlated conductances, namely a Gaussian heat kernel upper bound for RCMs with a general class of speed measures, and an exponential decay estimate for the Green function of RCMs with random killing measures. This talk is based on a joined work with Alexis Prévost (Cambridge). -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************

seminario G.Ascione - Sapienza 11 maggio
by Luisa Beghin 05 May '22

05 May '22

Buongiorno, vorrei segnalare il seguente seminario: *Mercoledì 11 maggio 2022* Ore 14:30, Aula 34 (quarto piano), Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, Sapienza Università di Roma e online al seguente link meet.google.com/dwz-gvib-uoj *Titolo:* A sojourn-based approach to discrete-time semi-Markov decision processes *Speaker*: Giacomo Ascione (Scuola Superiore Meridionale) *Abstract:* Up to now, there is an extensive literature on stepped continuous-time semi-Markov decision processes. Such models generalize the classical continuous-time Markov chain decision processes by allowing for different distributions of interevent times. However, in such models, the decision is always taken in a change of state, so that it influences a priori the distribution of the inter-event times. For such a reason, these models do not allow for decision depending on intermediate observations of the system. In this talk we address the problem of intermediate observations by modelling the system as a finite horizon discrete-time semi-Markov process, thus assuming discrete observations of the system, and allowing possible decisions at each time step. To do this, we first provide an alternative characterization of discrete-time semi-Markov processes in terms of a bivariate Markov chain, involving both the state and the sojourn time of the process. Once this is done, one can use the dynamic programming principle to exploit optimal policies for the discrete-time semi-Markov decision process by resorting to the bivariate Markov formulation. With this approach we are able to exhibit the Bellman’s equation for both the value and the quality function. The latter is then used to develop a model-free reinforcement learning algorithm based on Watkins and Dayan’s Qlearning algorithm, together with a first naive attempt towards a deep reinforcement learning one. Two exploratory toy examples are provided. This is based on a joint work with Salvatore Cuomo from Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II. Cordiali saluti.

(PMS)^2 online talk: Michele Salvi - May 9, 17:30
by Maurizia Rossi 04 May '22

04 May '22

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: *Michele Salvi* (Università di Roma "Tor Vergata") Title: *Scale-free percolation mixing time.* Abstract: Scale-free percolation is a spatial inhomogeneous random graph model which features three fundamental properties that are often present in real-world networks: (1) Scale-free: the degree of the nodes follows a power law; (2) Small-world: two far-away nodes have typically a small graph distance; (3) Positive clustering coefficient: two nodes with a common neighbour have a good chance to be linked. We study the mixing time of the simple random walk on this structure in one dimension and depict a rich phase diagram in the parameters of the model. In particular, we prove that the presence of hubs can speed up the mixing of the chain. Joint work with Alessandra Cipriani (UCL). *Date and time:* Monday May 9, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone) *Zoom link:* https://us02web.zoom.us/j/6815552946 This talk is part of the *(PMS)^2*: *Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics* organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale. Participation is free and welcome!

The first lecture is scheduled on Thursday, May 5th, at 11 am, at Aula Seminari of the Department of Mathematics (Largo Bruno Pontecorvo, 5, first floor) and online at the link https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3aNPe79QEwg0BQ31oFUsis6tD5qgF2… Dates and times later lectures are possibly subject to changes, but are now tentatively scheduled every Thursday and Friday, 11 am, same room (Aula Seminari), starting from Thursday 12th. No lecture will be delivered on Friday 6th. Please feel free to forward this message to anyone who might be interested, and write me if you want to be added to the Team (to access records of the lectures and further material). Regards, Dario Trevisan %%% Abstract: The qualitative behavior of random evolutions in the long time asymptotic is a classical subject, which has recently found new motivations in high dimensional optimization. The course provides an introduction to classical and recent results concerning the long time behavior of some classes of Markov processes. In the first part, we will introduce some tools typical of potential theory in an elementary context, with focus on the reversibility non-reversibility paradigm. In the second part of the class, we will focus on establishing some recent results for more involved models and infinite-dimensional dynamics. 1. Ergodicity and long time behavior of Markov processes. 2. Potential theory and spectral analysis for processes on graphs. 3.

Seminar in Pisa: Jules Pitcho
by Francesco Grotto 02 May '22

02 May '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Jules Pitcho (UZH) to be held this Wednesday (May 4th) at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: May 4th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Jules Pitcho (UZH - Universität Zürich) Title: Since the work of Di Perna-Lions and Ambrosio, it is known that the continuity equation with divergence-free Sobolev vector field is well-posed for densities with suitable integrability. At the Lagrangian level, these works translate into a selection principle for integral curves under which uniqueness for almost every initial data is true. Nevertheless, uniqueness of integral curves can fail almost everywhere. The deterministic technique used to construct such divergence-free Sobolev vector fields and non-unique integral curves go by the name of convex integration: we will explain some of the ideas underlying this technique. We will conclude by arguing that for rougher vector fields, a genuinely stochastic behaviour of integral curves is to be expected: we should not hope for an almost everywhere selection principle for integral curves.

seminario: "Comparative gene finding on highly diverse chromosome alleles", Marina Axelson-Fisk 26 April
by Umberto Picchini 26 Apr '22

26 Apr '22

You are welcome to the next Statistics seminar at Dept of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers and Göteborg University. On Tuesday April 26, Marina Axelson-Fisk <http://www.math.chalmers.se/~marinaa/> will talk of: ///"Comparative gene finding on highly diverse chromosome alleles"/ / / //*About the speaker: *Marina Axelson-Fisk <http://www.math.chalmers.se/~marinaa/> is an Assc. Professor in Mathematical Statistics at Chalmers and University of Gothenburg. She works mainly within the field of Bioinformatics, with particular focus on stochastic models and algorithms for comparative genomics and cross-species gene finding. She is an associate member of the Linnaeus Centre for Marine Evolutionary Biology (CeMEB), where she is involved in the bioinformatics analysis of a number of newly sequenced Swedish coastal organisms. ** *Abstract:* With the new sequencing technologies, the number of novel genome sequences has exploded. At the same time the genome projects are hampered by the lack of homologies to the novel genome, making it difficult both to properly train genome analysis tools and to assess the results. Moreover, the faster and cheaper sequencing methods come with the cost of data quality, and sequencing and annotation errors that make it into the genome databases are propagated to new genomes, making annotation an even bigger challenge. Methods that can improve the data quality is desperately needed. Here we propose a novel use of comparative gene finding to improve the annotation in organisms with high nucleotide diversity.

Webinar PRISMA
by c.ceci＠unich.it 25 Apr '22

25 Apr '22

Buongiorno a tutti, abbiamo il piacere di annunciare i prossimi Webinars promossi dal Gruppo UMI-PRISMA: Lunedi’ 2 maggio 2022 ore 16-17 LAURA SACERDOTE TITOLO: Input-output consistency in Integrate and Fire neuronal networks ABSTRACT: Models of neurons aim to describe the information transmission within a neural network. Some models are mathematically tractable with the introduction of strong simplifications, ignoring the involved biophysicalfeatures of the single units. Others are very faithful to reality at the price of very complex mathematical descriptions. Models are then used to describe networks, often through simulations. The appearance of particular patterns in the trains of spikes is then used to compare with observed data or to switch from microscopic to macroscopic analysis. In this framework, it is essential to guarantee the reliability of the output of the model and often scientists compare the output of the models with real data. However, when the models are used to reproduce networks the output of some neurons becomes the input of a successive layer of neurons. This fact opens a problem of consistency between input and output of layers of neurons. To the best of our knowledge, this problem has not yet been deeply investigated. Here, we consider the simplest Stochastic Integrate and Fire model and we try to characterize the features of its input in such a way to re-obtain the same features in the output. In particular, we focus on the tail properties of ISIs distribution. Observed data suggest the presence of heavy tails for this distribution. Using the Stochastic Integrate and Fire paradigm for the neurons of the network we study how such features can be transmitted from the network. In this framework we introduce a particular class of multivariate distributions, i.e. the regularly varying distributions. We show that assuming that the input to a neuron is a regularly varying random vector and that successive ISIs of a neuron are asymptotically independent thenthe resulting output is a regularly varying random variable. The talk is based on a joint work with Petr Lansky and Federico Polito. Ore 17-18 BRUNO TOALDO TITLE: Semi-Markov processes, their exit times and non-local equations ABSTRACT: We introduce the theory of semi-Markov processes and their interplay with non-local equations. Particular attention will be devoted to the theory of exit times from sets and the connection with boundary value problems, e.g., on a time-dependent parabolic domain.

Seminars in Pisa: A. P. Todino and F. Pistolato
by Francesco Grotto 25 Apr '22

25 Apr '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Anna Paola Todino (Università Milano Bicocca) to be held this Wednesday (April 27th) at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. After the seminar, in the same location (on site and online), Francesca Pistolato (future PhD student at Université du Luxembourg) will give a short talk, details below. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: April 27th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Anna Paola Todino (UniMiB) Title: Alternative forms of random spherical harmonics Abstract: In the last decade, lot of efforts have been devoted to the analysis of the high-frequency behaviour of geometric functionals (Lipschitz-Killing Curvatures) for the excursion sets of random eigenfunctions on the unit sphere (spherical harmonics). The asymptotic behavior of their expected values and variances have been investigated and quantitative central limit theorems have been established in the high energy limits. In order to generalize these results, a local study was also introduced by considering subdomains of the sphere. This topic is linked to Berry's conjecture on planar random waves and finds its motivation in cosmological applications. Another interesting issue concerns the Gaussianity hypothesis of the random field. In this direction we introduce a model of Poisson random waves on the 2-dimensional sphere and we study Quantitative Central Limit Theorems when both the rate of the Poisson process and the energy (i.e. frequency) of the waves (eigenfunctions) diverge to infinity. We consider finite-dimensional distributions, harmonic coefficients and convergence in law in functional spaces, and we investigate carefully the interplay between the rates of divergence of eigenvalues and Poisson governing measures. Time: April 27th, 2022, 15:00-15:30 CET Speaker: Francesca Pistolato Title: A Small-Scale Reduction Principle for the Nodal Length of Monochromatic Random Waves Abstract: We prove an asymptotic mean square equivalence between the nodal length of monochromatic random waves and their sample trispectrum in the small-scale regime. We make use of coupling techniques for non-stationary Gaussian fields, and the so-called Small-Scale Central Limit Theorem for the nodal length, both proved by Dierickx, Nourdin, Peccati, Rossi in 2020. Consequently, we deduce the conjectured equivalence from the analogous one for Berry's random wave model, proved by Vidotto in 2020.

Seminar: Antonio Lerario at Tor Vergata
by mic sal 22 Apr '22

22 Apr '22

Dear all, next Friday, April 29th, Antonio Lerario (SISSA) will give a seminar about "The zonoid algebra". Abstract: In this seminar I will discuss the so called "zonoid algebra", a construction introduced in a recent work (joint with Breiding, Bürgisser and Mathis) which allows to put a ring structure on the set of zonoids (i.e. Hausdorff limits of Minkowski sums of segments). This framework gives a new perspective on classical objects in convex geometry, and it allows to introduce new functionals on zonoids, in particular generalizing the notion of mixed volume. Moreover this algebra plays the role of a probabilistic intersection ring for compact homogeneous spaces. Joint work with P. Breiding, P. Bürgisser and L. Mathis. The seminar will take place in Aula De Blasi, Università Tor Vergata, at 14h00. We encourage in-person partecipation, but 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 Math@TOV.

Location: Aula 215, Plesso Morgagni, Viale Giovan Battista Morgagni 40, 50134 Firenze Link alla videochiamata: https://meet.google.com/rps-uiyj-bhj <https://meet.google.com/rps-uiyj-bhj> Speaker: Seonwoo Kim (Seoul National University) Title: Metastability of Ising/Potts models on lattices in the low-temperature regime Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss metastability of the Ising/Potts model with zero external field in two or three dimensions. Metastable transitions in the case of zero field occur along a large saddle plateau, which can be divided into bulk and edge parts. Transitions on the bulk part are one-dimensional and thus easy to analyze, whereas transitions on the edge part are much more complex. In two dimension, I will characterize them in a very precise manner. On the other hand in three dimension, it is impossible to find such a precise characterization and thus I present an alternative abstract method to analyze the metastable behavior. This talk is based on a joint work with Insuk Seo at Seoul National University.

In a first part of the talk, we summarize some statistical convergence results. Deep Gaussian process priors can be viewed as continuous analogues of Bayesian neural networks and this raises the question whether there is a closer link with deep learning. In the second part of the talk, we show that the posterior for a suitable deep Gaussian process prior can achieve fast posterior contraction rates and discuss the connection with deep learning. This is joint work with Gianluca Finocchio. ------------------------------------------------ In ottemperanza alle norme anti Covid, per partecipare in presenza è necessario prenotarsi tramite il seguente form online: https://forms.gle/wxwecLUnpZ2GEsWh9 Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83612787995?pwd=SE1CR2ZGdmxxZmNWUmx2WS9XNXdtdz09> Meeting ID: 836 1278 7995 Passcode: 612986 Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats Cordiali saluti, Pierpaolo De Blasi -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Seminario di Probabilità
by Paolo Dai Pra 15 Apr '22

15 Apr '22

Cari colleghi, vi invito al seguente seminario. Date: 20 Aprile 2022, 14:30 Venue: Ca’ Vignal 2, Università di Verona, Aula G Speaker: Luisa Andreis, Università di Firenze Title: An introduction to phase transitions in coagulation processes and random graphs Abstract: Sparse inhomogeneous random graphs are a natural generalization of the well-known Erdos Renyi random graph, where vertices are characterized by a type and edges are independent but distributed according to the type of the vertices that they are connecting. These graphs undergo a phase transition in terms of the emergence of a giant component exactly as the classical Erd ̋os Renyi model. In this talk we will introduce an alternative approach, via large deviations, to prove this phase transition. This allows a comparison with the gelation phase transition that characterizes coagulation processes and the phase transition of condensation type emerging in several systems of interacting components.

Seminar by J. Teichmann in Verona
by Alessandro Gnoatto 14 Apr '22

14 Apr '22

Prof. Josef Teichmann (ETH Zürich) will give a talk at the Department of Economics – University of Verona. Date: 20/04/2022 @ 12:00 (Rome Time) Title: Signature SDEs from an affine and polynomial perspective Affine or polynomial processes are fascinating classes of models due to the so-called affine transform formulae or moment formulae, respectively. We first show through a linearization procedure that generic classes of diffusion models can be obtained as projections of infinite dimensional affine processes (which actually coincide with polynomial processes). Affine and polynomial technology next allows to derive so far unknown formulae for characteristic functions and moments of involved process functionals. Third a dynamic viewpoint on those formulae (combined with machine learning approaches) leads to efficient numerical evaluations.

Past smoothed overnight market returns strongly negatively forecast subsequent close-to-close returns (quarterly R2 of over 14%), primarily through intraday mean reversion. In contrast, past smoothed intraday market returns strongly positively forecast subsequent overnight returns; this partially-offsetting effect explains PE's relatively poor forecasting ability (R2 only 3%). Our decomposition also resurrects the conditional CAPM: If we allow market betas to vary with past smoothed overnight returns, the unconditional alpha of the four Fama-French non-market factors decreases by 91%. We interpret these return patterns through a clientele perspective. First, individual investor expectations and consumption growth strongly positively forecast overnight market returns; intermediary risk tolerance and household equity share strongly negatively forecast intraday market returns. Second, aggregate discount-rate news associated with revisions in future expected overnight (intraday) returns is positively (negatively) correlated with aggregate cash-flow news. Finally, while the Tech boom and Covid crash/rebound were primarily driven by overnight returns, the Global Financial Crisis was mostly an intraday phenomenon. <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *To attend in presence, register here* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/AeJ-WyYc_gvUq2mT72rqiHtFvTQ6jPrbiV…> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *To attend online, join Zoom Meeting* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/vQ-81gGUFwr92prMcO1wAos1prgrpZtXYC…> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *April 20, 2022 | 12:00 - 13:15* *Strategic Leadership in Corporate Social Responsibility* *Rui Albuquerque (Carrol School of Management, Boston College)* <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *Abstract.* We propose a strategic theory of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Shareholder maximizers commit to a mission statement that extends beyond firm value maximization. This commitment leads firms (either product market competitors or complementors along the value chain) to change their actions in ways that ultimately favor shareholders. We thus provide a formal analysis of the “doing well by doing good” adage. We also provide conditions such that the mission statement game has the nature of a pure coordination game. Our framework thus provides a natural theory of firm leadership in a CSR context: by selecting a CSR mission statement, a first mover effectively leads the industry to a Pareto optimal equilibrium. <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *To attend in person, register here* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/sWQz91Ig64g-hKPI0qtXuwSrmqF9ks4uXO…> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *To attend online, join Zoom Meeting* <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/a5FFG16ZzGA4wKp6TEcOSC5UJL-ct_fbpI…> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/w9EAxMXTRoVQWw8rge58Ur5Q9h1azrMGGu…> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/ryYmaMlVZUN48CzZ1ArQlrckik3y2zJD7c…> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> FONDAZIONE COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Piazza Arbarello 8 - 10122 Torino, Italy phone: +390116705000 segreteria(a)carloalberto.org - www.carloalberto.org [image: Facebook] <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/wh_Khsc6qoONJjjfPj_n-Lb6YoAirMTUXv…> [image: Twitter] <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/UnCsCKFdXGIuCX9lfeGpe6ph-BAbL3z-0f…> [image: LinkedIn] <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/tB9Ns4ARnwiSodkGn2ubnmU1M9x11LPrz4…> [image: Instagram] <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/QoIO7jUPYXlgktVaTw_Tvc2g1WfpgXZgB4…> [image: Youtube] <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/vBC6AeuPt0mow4OYvvHSCpa0bGiKvCbuof…> <#m_-325173197699348024_m_-4631880425216739772_> *INFORMATION UNDER THE NEW GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)* Your personal information has been gathered for the exclusive purpose of informing you about the Collegio's initiatives, considering our and your legitimate interest or your consent.

seminar: "Point process learning", Ottmar Cronie, 19 April
by Umberto Picchini 14 Apr '22

14 Apr '22

You are welcome to the next Statistics seminar at Dept of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers and Göteborg University. On Tuesday April 19, Ottmar Cronie <https://www.chalmers.se/en/staff/Pages/ottmar.aspx> will talk of: ///"Point process learning" / * * *About the speaker: *Ottmar Cronie <https://www.chalmers.se/en/staff/Pages/ottmar.aspx> is associate professor at Chalmers and University of Göteborg. His research is primarily in spatial and spatio-temporal statistics as well as statistical learning. The emphasis is on point processes. The applied part of his research focuses mainly on epidemiology where the main focus at the moment is research on covid-19 and mosquito-borne diseases. // //* * *Abstract:* Point processes are random sets which generalise the classical notion of a random (iid) sample by allowing i) the sample size to be random and/or ii) the sample points to be dependent. Therefore, point process have become ubiquitous in the modeling of spatial and/or temporal event data, e.g. earthquakes and disease cases. In this talk, we present the first statistical learning framework for general point processes, which is based on a subtle combination of two new concepts: prediction errors and cross-validation for point processes. The general idea is to split a point process in two, through thinning, and estimate parameters by predicting one part using the other. By repeating this procedure, we implicitly induce a conditional repeated sampling scheme. The proposed approach allows us to introduce a variety of loss functions not only suitable for standard spatial statistical problems but for general estimation settings, without imposing the iid assumptions. Having discussed different properties of this new approach, we illustrate how it may be applied in different spatial statistical settings and, numerically, we show in (at least) one of these settings that it outperforms the state of the art.* * *Feel free to spread this announcement in your network.* * * *Where*: room MVL14 orhttps://chalmers.zoom.us/j/64214516762 Password: 355673 ** **** *When*: Tuesday 19 April at 14.30-15.30*(Swedish time, UTC+2)*. ** -- _________________________________________________________ Umberto Picchini, Associate Professor, PhD, Docent https://umbertopicchini.github.io/ , twitter: @uPicchini

de Finetti Risk seminar: Walter Schachermayer

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 which will take place on Thursday, May 5, 2022 at 17.30 (see all details below). *Walter Schachermayer* Universität Wien *Title:* Martingale Transport, De March-Touzi paving, and stretched Brownian motion in ℝd *Abstract:* In classical optimal transport, the contributions of Benamou–Brenier and Mc-Cann regarding the time-dependent version of the problem are cornerstones of the field and form the basis for a variety of applications in other mathematical areas. For µ,ν probability measures on ℝd, increasing in convex order, stretched Brownian motion [1] provides an analogue for the martingale version of this problem. In dimension d=1 it was shown in [2] that any martingale transport decomposes into at most countably many invariant intervals and that this decomposition is universal. Extensions of this result to d≥2 were studied in [4], [5], [3]. We show that the dual optimization problem attached to a stretched Brownian motion induces the universal De March–Touzi paving [3] of ℝd. Joint work with M. Beiglböck, J. Backhoff, and B. Tschiderer.

Master Mathématiques et Apprentissage Statistique all'Università di Versailles
by Cecilia Mancini 09 Apr '22

09 Apr '22

Inoltro questa informazione su un nuovo Master che partirà il prossimo Settembre all’Université Versailles Saint Quentin<http://www.uvsq.fr/>. A chi fosse interessato posso mandare i flyers sotto menzionati Saluti, Cecilia Da: Ester Mariucci <ester.mariucci(a)uvsq.fr> stiamo aprendo un nuovo Master (M1+M2) a Versailles. Si chiama Mathématiques et Apprentissage Statistique, Math&AS. Fa parte della Graduate School dell’Università Paris-Saclay ed é un “Master Recherche ouvert à l’entreprise”. Per essere chiari : é teorico ma non tanto quanto i master di Orsay, permette di andare subito a lavorare ma non é un master in alternance. Durante l’M1 i corsi sono teorici - ma comunque globalmente più di statistica applicata che matematica - (statistica matematica, machine Learning, modelli lineari, ottimizzazione, analisi dei dati, etc…) e c’é un po’ di informatica. Il secondo anno ci saranno dei corsi fatti da data scientists, e poi vari corsi avanzati sempre di machine learning e statistica. L’insegnamento é in francese, ci sono 2 stages di sei mesi ciascuno, uno per anno (quindi bisogna davvero parlare bene francese). Dato che la formazione debutta a Settembre cerco di diffondere la notizia il più possibile…non si sa mai che tu conosca studenti francofoni (o che se la cavano sufficientemente bene) potenzialmente interessati! Ti allego i flyers che abbiamo fatto per l’UVSQ e per Saclay con le informazioni sui programmi. Ci sono borse (anche per stranieri) : https://www.universite-paris-saclay.fr/admission/bourses-et-aides-financier…; https://www.fondation-hadamard.fr/fr/master-bourses-de-master/master-401-ap… e le candidature per iscriversi al master sono tra il 15 marzo e il 15 maggio. Sto ancora aspettando che il sito ufficiale di Saclay sia visibile, qui ci sono alcune informazioni : http://www.departement.math.uvsq.fr/masterMathAS Un caro saluto, Ester

seminar: "Random structures and patterns in spatio-temporal data: probabilistic modelling and statistical inference", Radu Stoica, 12 April
by Umberto Picchini 09 Apr '22

09 Apr '22

You are welcome to the next Statistics seminar at Dept of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers and Göteborg University, Sweden. On Tuesday April 12, Radu Stoica <https://sites.google.com/site/radustefanstoica/> will talk of: ///"Random structures and patterns in spatio-temporal data: probabilistic modelling and statistical inference"/ / / //*About the speaker: *Radu Stoica <https://sites.google.com/site/radustefanstoica/> is professor at Université de Lorraine, France. He is interested in probabilistic modeling and statistical inference for the analysis of spatio-temporal data // //* * *Abstract:* The useful information carried by spatio-temporal data is often outlined by geometric structures and patterns. Filaments or clusters induced by galaxy positions in our Universe are such an example. Two situations are to be considered. First, the pattern of interest is hidden in the data set, hence the pattern should be detected. Second, the structure to be studied is observed, so relevant characterization of it should be done. Probabilistic modelling is one of the approaches that allows to furnish answers to these questions. This is done by developing unitary methodologies embracing simultaneously three directions: modelling, simulation and inference. This talk presents the use of marked point processes applied to the detection and to the characterization of such structures. Practical examples are also shown.* * *Feel free to spread this announcement in your network.* * * *Where*: room MVL14 or https://chalmers.zoom.us/j/64160866575 Password: 024139 ** **** *When*: Tuesday 12 April at 14.30-15.30*(Stockholm time)*. ** -- _________________________________________________________ Umberto Picchini, Associate Professor, PhD, Docent https://umbertopicchini.github.io/ , twitter: @uPicchini

(PMS)^2 in person and online talk: Daria Ghilli - April 11 at 14.00
by Carlo Orrieri 06 Apr '22

06 Apr '22

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following hybrid - that is, in person with online streaming - talk: Speaker: Daria Ghilli (Università di Pavia) Title: A mean field game model in economics with spatial interactions in the human capital Abstract: We study an economic model where each agent chooses its position in space and its level of human capital maximizing its own utility and interacts with the other agents through the human capital. The main peculiarity of the model we consider consists in the presence of a spatial interaction term in the dynamic of the human capital, i.e. spatial spillovers on the accumulation of human capital and in the utility, i.e. spatial spillovers on the consumption. We adopt a Mean Field Game (MFG) approach and study a system of two partial differential equations, the MFG system, which arises as the continuum macroscopic description of the discrete multi-agents system emerging, heuristically, as the limit as the number of agents tends to infinity. The MFG system we study is expected to approximate Nash equilibria for the discrete multi-agents system when the number of players tends to infinity. This is a joint work with C. Ricci (Pisa) and G. Zanco (LUISS). Date and time: Monday April 11, 14:00-15:00 (Rome time zone) Place: Aula Beltrami, dipartimento di matematica dell’università di Pavia, via Ferrata 5, Pavia. Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83190110958?pwd=QW5tOC9tcGgyTDNtaUJvenIrdGNZQT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83190110958?pwd=QW5tOC9tcGgyTDNtaUJvenIrdGNZQT09> ID riunione: 831 9011 0958 Passcode: 384911 This talk is part of the (PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale.

04 Apr '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Ruojun Huang (Scuola Normale Superiore) to be held Wednesday (April 6th) at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: April 6th, 2022, 14:00 CET Speaker: Ruojun Huang (Scuola Normale Superiore) Title: Coagulation under environmental noise Abstract: Environmental noise in a continuum interacting particle system is a space-dependent noise acting on all particles simultaneously. We prove that a system of locally interacting diffusions carrying discrete masses, subject to an environmental noise and undergoing mass coagulation, converges to a system of Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (SPDEs) with Smoluchowski-type nonlinearity. It partially extends a result of Hammond-Rezakhanlou (2007) who considered the PDE case, with our motivation coming from trying to understand the effect of turbulence on rain formations. Based on a joint work with Franco Flandoli.

Seminario Caponera Tor Vergata
by Domenico Marinucci 30 Mar '22

30 Mar '22

Cari colleghi venerdì prossimo 1 aprile alle ore 15.30 avrà luogo presso il Dipartimento di Matematica di Roma Tor Vergata il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aula 1200, Edificio Sogene Speaker: Alessia Caponera (EPFL) Title: Nonparametric Estimation of Covariance and Autocovariance Operators on the Sphere Abstract: We propose nonparametric estimators for the second-order central moments of spherical random fields within a functional data context. We consider a measurement framework where each field among an identically distributed collection of spherical random fields is sampled at a few random directions, possibly subject to measurement error. The collection of fields could be i.i.d. or serially dependent. Though similar setups have already been explored for random functions defined on the unit interval, the nonparametric estimators proposed in the literature often rely on local polynomials, which do not readily extend to the (product) spherical setting. We therefore formulate our estimation procedure as a variational problem involving a generalized Tikhonov regularization term. The latter favours smooth covariance/autocovariance functions, where the smoothness is specified by means of suitable Sobolev-like pseudo-differential operators. Using the machinery of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, we establish representer theorems that fully characterize the form of our estimators. We determine their uniform rates of convergence as the number of fields diverges, both for the dense (increasing number of spatial samples) and sparse (bounded number of spatial samples) regimes. We moreover validate and demonstrate the practical feasibility of our estimation procedure in a simulation setting. Based on a joint work with Julien Fageot, Matthieu Simeoni and Victor M. Panaretos -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grazie per l'attenzione, Domenico Marinucci -- @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Domenico Marinucci Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma Tor Vergata https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~marinucc/ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

by Markus 30 Mar '22

30 Mar '22

Dear All, This Friday,*Jodi Dianetti* (Center for Mathematical Economics, Bielefeld University) will give a seminar talk on Submodular mean field games, which will be held in person and online via Zoom. Details: * Date and time: Friday, April 1, 2022 at 14.30 pm * Place: room 2BC30 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova (Torre Archimede, via Trieste, 63, 35121 Padova) * Zoom link: please visit the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ * Title: Submodular mean field games: Existence and approximation of solutions * Abstract: We study mean field games with scalar Itô-type dynamics and costs that are submodular with respect to a suitable order relation on the state and measure space. The submodularity assumption has a number of interesting consequences. Firstly, it allows us to prove existence of solutions via an application of Tarski's fixed point theorem, covering cases with discontinuous dependence on the measure variable. Secondly, it ensures that the set of solutions enjoys a lattice structure: in particular, there exist a minimal and a maximal solution. Thirdly, it guarantees that those two solutions can be obtained through a simple learning procedure based on the iterations of the best-response-map. Our approach also allows to treat submodular mean field games with common noise, as well as mean field games with singular controls, optimal stopping and reflecting boundary conditions. This talks is based on some joint works together with Giorgio Ferrari, Markus Fischer and Max Nendel.

Seminar in Pisa: Giulia Carigi
by Francesco Grotto 29 Mar '22

29 Mar '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Giulia Carigi (University of Reading) to be held next Wednesday (March 30th) at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: March 30, 2022, 14:00 CET Speaker: Giulia Carigi (University of Reading) Title: Ergodic properties for a stochastic two-layer model of geophysical fluid dynamics Abstract: A two-layer quasi-geostrophic model for geophysical flows is studied, with the upper layer being perturbed by additive noise. This model is popular in the geosciences, for instance to study the effects of a stochastic wind forcing on the ocean. A rigorous mathematical analysis however meets with the challenge that the noise configuration is spatially degenerate as the stochastic forcing acts only on the top layer. Exponential convergence of solutions laws is established, implying a spectral gap of the associated Markov semigroup on a space of Hölder continuous functions. Moreover, response theory with respect to changes in the average wind forcing is established. Specifically, it is shown that the averages of a class of observables against the invariant measure are differentiable (linear response) and locally Hölder continuous (fractional response) as functions of a deterministic additive forcing. In doing so, a framework suitable to establish (linear and fractional) response for a class of nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations is provided.

Fwd: [PRISMA] seminari di Enrico Scalas e Giacomo Ascione
by Domenico Marinucci 28 Mar '22

28 Mar '22

Cari colleghi scusandomi per eventuali messaggi multipli, vi mando le informazioni sui prossimi seminari online del Gruppo UMI Prisma (lunedì 4 aprile), con i contributi di Enrico Scalas e Giacomo Ascione: * April 4, 2022, 16:00-17:00 (CET): Enrico Scalas TITLE: Point processes and time change: A fractional non-homogeneous Poisson process and its functional limits ABSTRACT: A fractional nonhomogeneous Poisson process was introduced by a time change of the nonhomogeneous Poisson process with the inverse α-stable subordinator. A similar definition is proposed for the (nonhomogeneous) fractional compound Poisson process. Both finite-dimensional and functional limit theorems are presented for the fractional nonhomogeneous Poisson process and the fractional compound Poisson process. The results are derived by using martingale methods, regular variation properties and Anscombe’s theorem. Some of the limiting results are verified in a Monte Carlo simulation. Papers: [1] Nikolai Leonenko, Enrico Scalas and Mailan Trinh, The fractional non-homogeneous Poisson process. Statistics and Probability Letters, 120, 2017, pp. 147-156. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.spl.2016.09.024 https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.03965 [2] Nikolai Leonenko, Enrico Scalas and Mailan Trinh, Limit theorems for the fractional nonhomogeneous Poisson process, Journal of Applied Probability , 56:1, 2019 , pp. 246 - 264. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1017/jpr.2019.16 https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.08768 This is joint work with Nikolai Leonenko and Mailan Trinh. * April 4, 2022, 17:00-18:00 (CET): Giacomo Ascione TITLE: Spectral methods for time-changed birth-death processes ABSTRACT: In this talk we focus on a class of semi-Markov birth-death processes obtained by means of a time-change of some standard birth-death process. Precisely, we consider as parent processes the immigration-death process and the Meixner process, whose stationary distributions are respectively the Poisson and the Pascal distributions. Exploiting, on one hand, the properties of the Charlier and Meixner polynomials (in particular, the self-duality property), while, on the other, characterizing the eigenfunctions of some non-local operators by means of the Laplace transform of an inverse subordinator, we are able to explicitly express the spectral decomposition of the transition probability function of the aforementioned processes. The latter expression is then used to prove existence and uniqueness of strong solutions for a class of time-nonlocal Cauchy problems in a suitable Banach sequence space and the probabilistic interpretation of such equations as some sort of non-local backward/forward Kolmogorov equations. Finally, a comparison with the time-changed diffusion case is carried out by referring to the spectral decomposition of the probability density function of time-changed Pearson diffusions. The latter argument hints at the possibility of applying this kind of spectral methods to a wider range of problems. This is the result of joint work with Nikolai Leonenko from Cardiff University and Enrica Pirozzi from University of Naples.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 1 Aprile 2022, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Alexandra Carpentier* (University of Potsdam) Title: *Optimal ranking in crowd-sourcing* Abstract: Consider a crowd sourcing problem where we have n experts and d tasks. The average ability of each expert for each task is stored in an unknown matrix M, which is only observed in noise and incompletely. We make no (semi) parametric assumptions, but assume that both experts and tasks can be perfectly ranked: so that if an expert is better than another, she performs on average better on all tasks than the other - and that the same holds for the tasks. This implies that if the matrix M is permuted so that the experts and tasks are perfectly ranked, then the permuted matrix M is bi-isotonic. We focus on the problem of recovering the optimal ranking of the experts in l_2 norm, when the questions are perfectly ranked. We provide a minimax-optimal and computationally feasible method for this problem, based on hierarchical clustering, PCA, and exchange of informations among the clusters. We prove in particular - in the case where d > n - that the problem of estimating the expert ranking is significantly easier than the problem of estimating the matrix M. This talk is based on joint work with Emmanuel Pilliat and Nicolas Verzelen. ------------------------------------------------ In ottemperanza alle norme anti Covid, per partecipare in presenza è necessario prenotarsi tramite il seguente form online: https://forms.gle/Z3MVuM7MixQHxrmF6 Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81557586058?pwd=SllnbU8wcDh4M2pFNEEvQkk5Q2VqUT09> Meeting ID: 815 5758 6058 Passcode: 518172 Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats Cordiali saluti, Pierpaolo De Blasi -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

The method is based on the idea of deriving an approximate posterior density aiming to target the true (unavailable) posterior by running massive simulations from the model for different parameters to replace the intractable likelihood, choosing then those parameters whose simulations are good matches to the observed data. When applying ABC to stochastic models, the derivation of effective summary statistics and proper distances is particularly challenging, since simulations from the model under the same parameter configuration result in different output. Moreover, since exact simulation from complex stochastic models is rarely possible, reliable numerical methods need to be applied. In this talk, we show how to use the underlying structural properties of the model to construct specific ABC summaries that are less sensitive to the intrinsic stochasticity of the model, and the importance of adopting reliable property-preserving numerical (splitting) schemes for the synthetic data generation. Indeed, the commonly used Euler-Maruyama scheme may drastically fail even with very small stepsizes. The proposed approach is illustrated first on the stochastic FitzHugh-Nagumo model, and then on the broad class of partially observed Hamiltonian stochastic differential equations, in particular on the stochastic Jensen-and-Rit neural mass model, both with simulated and with real electroencephalography (EEG) data, for both one neural population [2] and a network of neural populations (ongoing work).

(PMS)^2 online talk: Luisa Andreis
by margherita Zanella 22 Mar '22

22 Mar '22

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: Luisa Andreis (Università di Firenze) Title: Phase transitions in random graphs and coagulation processes. Abstract: Inhomogeneous random graphs are a natural generalization of the well-known Erdos–Renyi random graph, where vertices are characterized by a typeand edges are present independently according to the type of the vertices thatthey are connecting. In the sparse regime, these graphs undergo a phase transition in terms of the emergence of a giant component exactly as the classical Erdos–Renyi model. We will present an alternative approach, via large deviations, to prove this phase transition. This allows a comparison with the gelationphase transition in coagulation processes and with phase transitions of condensation type emerging in several systems of interacting components. This is based on ongoing joint works with Wolfgang K\"onig (WIAS and TUBerlin), Tejas Iyer (WIAS), Heide Langhammer (WIAS), Elena Magnanini(WIAS) and Robert Patterson (WIAS).

Peano" dell'Università degli Studi di Torino, Via Carlo Alberto 10, il Prof. *Giacomo Aletti* (Dipartimento di Scienze e Politiche Ambientali, Università degli studi di Milano) terrà un seminario dal titolo *Mathematical, numerical and statistical problems in the analysis of probabilistic counting of distinct elements* Abstract: Data streams are sequences of objects that cannot be available for random access but must be analyzed sequentially when they arrive and immediately discharged. One of the main applications in streaming algorithms concerns the problem of counting the number F0 of distinct elements in a stream, when the information that can be stored is of the order of the logarithm of the quantity of interest F0. In this seminar, the Flajolet-Martin class of probabilistic algorithms is analyzed from a probabilistic point of view, thus opening several computational, statistical, and mathematical problems. Connections with some consolidated theories will be shown. The results presented may be found in Aletti G. Analytical Confidence Intervals for the Number of Different Objects in Data Streams.

16 Mar '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Langxuan Su (Duke University) to be held next Wednesday in Pisa and online via Google Meets. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto ------------------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: March 23, 2022, 15:00 CET Speaker: Langxuan Su (Duke University) Title: A Large Deviation Approach to Posterior Consistency in Dynamical Systems Abstract: We provide asymptotic results concerning (generalized) Bayesian inference for certain dynamical systems based on a large deviation approach. Given a sequence of observations, a class of parametrized model processes and a loss function, we specify the generalized posterior distribution. We state conditions on the model family and the loss function such that the posterior distribution converges. The two conditions we require are: (1) a conditional large deviation behavior for a single model process, and (2) an exponential continuity condition over the model family for the map from the parameter to the loss incurred between a model process and the observations. The proposed framework is quite general, we apply it to two very different classes of dynamical systems: continuous time hypermixing processes and Gibbs processes on shifts of finite type. We also show that the generalized posterior distribution concentrates asymptotically on those parameters that minimize the expected loss and a divergence term, hence proving posterior consistency.

Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance - Benedikt Jahnel (WIAS, Berlin)
by Marco Formentin 13 Mar '22

13 Mar '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar that will take place on March 25 at 14.30. The seminar will be held online via the Zoom platform. The organizers, Alessandra Bianchi, Giorgia Callegaro, Marco Formentin _____________________________________________________ Speaker: Benedikt Jahnel (WIAS, Berlin)  Title: Phase transitions and large deviations for the Boolean model of continuum percolation for Cox point processes  MARCH 25 (Friday) - 14:30 Zoom link https://unipd.zoom.us/j/83753744114 (meeting ID 837 5374 4114), available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Abstract: In this talk, I consider the Boolean model with random radii based on Cox point processes, i.e., Poisson point processes in random environment. Under a condition of stabilization for the random environment, our results establish existence and non-existence of subcritical regimes for the size of the cluster at the origin in terms of volume, diameter and number of points, also including their moments. The second part of the talk will address rates of convergence of the percolation probability for the Cox--Boolean model with fixed radii in a variety of asymptotic regimes. This is based on joint work with Christian Hirsch, András Tóbiás and Élie Cali.

(PMS)^2 online talk: Valentina Cammarota
by Maurizia Rossi 13 Mar '22

13 Mar '22

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: *Valentina Cammarota* (Università di Roma La Sapienza) Title: *No repulsion between critical points for random plane wave and planar Gaussian random fields.* Abstract: Random plane wave is conjectured to be a universal model for high-energy eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator on generic compact Riemannian manifolds. This is known to be true on average. We discuss one of important geometric observable: critical points. We first compute one-point function for the critical point process, in particular we compute the expected number of critical points inside any open set. After that we compute the short-range asymptotic behaviour of the two-point function. This gives an unexpected result that the second factorial moment of the number of critical points in a small disc scales as the fourth power of the radius. Joint work with Dmitry Beliaev and Igor Wigman. Date and time: *Monday March 14, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone)*. Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84185018822?pwd=UE80NXJ2Z01GaWN3aTduMGVpeG9EQT09 ID riunione: *841 8501 8822* Passcode: *713253* This is a talk of the *(PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics* organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 18 Marzo 2022, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Cristina Butucea* (CREST, ENSAE IP Paris) Title: *Nonlinear functionals estimation under local differential privacy* Abstract: The concept of differential privacy provides a rigorous formalism to randomize data and quantify the amount of privacy. We consider i.i.d. individuals with outcomes distributed according to the common probability distribution P. This original data is further randomized using a privacy mechanism into observations that the statistician is allowed to use in order to recover information about the distribution P. We will consider local differential privacy where each sample from the original data is privatized on the user’s local machine before its release. We build privatized samples and nonparametric estimation methods of nonlinear functionals of the probability density and prove their optimality. We show that for the estimation of a quadratic functional, interactive procedures that use previously released private data are faster than the non interactive ones. In both cases we show how to produce privacy mechanisms and estimators adaptive to (free of) the smoothness of the underlying density. We extend these results to non smooth functionals of the density. This is based on joint work with A. Rohde, L. Steinberger and Y. Issartel. ------------------------------------------------ In ottemperanza alle norme anti Covid, per partecipare in presenza è necessario prenotarsi tramite il seguente form online: https://forms.gle/s6n5Z8QwNYp7fypw7 Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88303761211?pwd=MzFhOThna1B5WWFqWVNySEVMcEVMdz09> Meeting ID: 883 0376 1211 Passcode: 493770 Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats Cordiali saluti, Pierpaolo De Blasi -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/> -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Mean-field games are games with a large number of identical small agents and symmetric interactions, which have found many applications in finance and economics. The linear programming approach is a relaxation technique, which allows to prove existence results under weak assumptions, and lends itself well to numerical implementation. We will present an application of the approach to a model of energy markets and discuss the « linear programming fictitious play » algorithm for approximating the equilibrium. ------------------------------------------------ In ottemperanza alle norme anti Covid, per partecipare in presenza è necessario prenotarsi tramite il seguente form online: https://forms.gle/Bmxgd6w2wxtMT6aT9 Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88303761211?pwd=MzFhOThna1B5WWFqWVNySEVMcEVMdz09> Meeting ID: 883 0376 1211 Passcode: 493770 Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats Cordiali saluti, Pierpaolo De Blasi -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Fwd: Oberwolfach Arbeitsgemeinschaft on Quantitative Stochastic Homogenization
by Faggionato, Alessandra 08 Mar '22

Buongiorno, Antoine Gloria mi ha pregata di pubblicizzare il gruppo di lavoro ``Oberwolfach Arbeitsgemeinschaft'' su ``Quantitative Stochastic Homogenization'' organizzata da A. Gloria, F.Otto ad Oberwolfach nella settimana October 16th - October 22nd 2022. Sotto trovate varie informazioni e al link anche una descrizione e un programma dettagliati, prese dalla mail che mi ha inviato. Grazie dell'attenzione Saluti Alessandra %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The Arbeitsgemeinschaft is an old Oberwolfach institution, started by Faltings and Deninger. It is a reading group with presentations, organized like a students' seminar. The target group are mathematicians of all academic age that are interested in an efficient introduction into a timely topic, with an own active participation. As opposed to workshops, people apply to participate. Incidentally, at the end of each Arbeitsgemeinschaft, the participants discuss topics for next year. For a long time, there has been just a single strand. Recently, Oberwolfach decided to widen to three strands, of which Martin Hairer, Peter Scholze, and Andreas Thom are in charge. The idea is that Martin's strand will be targeted towards more applied topics. Martin asked Felix and me to organize the first event on this topic. (Fifteen years ago, Theo Sturm organized a week on Optimal Transportation). It would be great if you could advertise the event; perhaps there are people in your environment that are interested. More details and the list of topics plus material for the talks are under https://www.mfo.de/occasion/2242/www_view Thank you and best wishes, Antoine -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************

02 Mar '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to draw your attention to the upcoming 2022 IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON METROLOGY FOR LIVING ENVIRONMENT that will be held at the University of Calabria, Cosenza (Italy), 25 - 27 May, 2022. The following Special Session is open to receive your submissions. PROBABILITY AND MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS FOR LIVING ENVIRONMENT AND METROLOGY Measurement uncertainty is an important aspect of measurement that affects quality, costs, decisions, and risks. Therefore, it is mandatory to assess the quality of the results and to establish the accuracy requirements. Probability theory and Statistics provide powerful tools for the development and analysis of new mathematical models of phenomena with random characteristics and for drawing conclusions and making inferences. Nowadays probabilistic models are the basis of a large number of applications in modeling different fields of human activity. In particular, these methods use the language of probability to model different phenomena for the evaluation and forecast of measurements in various areas of applied mathematics. Therefore, the aim of this session is to delineate the fundamentals of probability and mathematical statistics impressing a comprehensive understanding of the theory and mechanics of the calculations through several applications in environmental and metrology fields to improve the quality of life. Website: https://www.metrolivenv.org/special-session-9 Important deadlines: - *March 21, 2022* - Extended Abstract Submission Deadline - *April 11, 2022* - Extended Abstract Acceptance Notification - *April 30, 2022* - Final Paper Submission Deadline - *April 30, 2022* - Live Demo Proposal Submission - *May 10, 2022* - Live Demo Acceptance Notification - *April 20, 2022 *- Early Bird Registration - *May 25-27, 2022 *- Workshop Dates For further information and updates please visit the conference website: https://www.metrolivenv.org We are looking forward to Welcome you in Cosenza!

Seminari Prisma 7 marzo
by Domenico Marinucci 28 Feb '22

28 Feb '22

Cari colleghi vi ricordo che lunedì prossimo 7 marzo alle ore 16 avranno luogo i prossimi due seminari nella serie Prisma; gli speaker sono Pietro Caputo e Vittoria Silvestri. I seminari avranno luogo come sempre sulla piattaforma teams; i dettagli per il collegamento e la lista completa dei seminari si possono trovare qui: http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/webinars.html Qui sotto titoli ed abstract, grazie per l'attenzione, Domenico Marinucci ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Speaker: Pietro Caputo, Roma III Title: Random walks on directed random networks Abstract: Exploration via random walks is often very useful for the analysis of directed networks. For instance, the walk's stationary distribution plays a prominent role in ranking systems and search algorithms. In this lecture, we present some recent progress in the analysis of random walks for a class of sparse directed networks generated by the so-called configuration model. We discuss various properties of the stationary distribution, including bulk behaviour and extremal values. We also consider the mixing time, that is the time needed to reach stationarity, and show that the walk typically displays a cutoff behaviour. Moreover, we discuss the asymptotic behaviour of the cover time, that is the expected time it takes the random walk to cover the whole network. Finally, we analyse the convergence to stationarity when the walk experiences regeneration events such as teleportation, as in the PageRank algorithm, or resampling of the underlying graph, as in a dynamically evolving network. ------------------------------------------------------------ Speaker: Vittoria Silvestri, Sapienza Title: Internal DLA on cylinder graphs: typical profiles and mixing. Abstract: Internal DLA is a mathematical model for the growth of a random cluster of particles according to the harmonic measure on the cluster boundary, seen from an internal point. Performing IDLA on cylinder graphs (i.e. graphs of the form GxZ) gives a Markov chain on the infinite space of particle configurations. We show that this chain is positive recurrent, and give a description of typical (i.e. stationary) configurations. We then analyse the mixing time of this chain. -- @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Domenico Marinucci Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma Tor Vergata https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~marinucc/ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

seminario: "Estimating the directing information and testing for causality", Maria Skoularidou, 1 Marzo
by Umberto Picchini 27 Feb '22

27 Feb '22

Caro gruppo Random, di sotto annuncio un seminario per il 1 Marzo. Saluti. *********************************************** You are welcome to the next Statistics seminar at Dept of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers and Göteborg University. We are very glad to have, on Tuesday March 1, Maria Skoularidou <https://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/people/in-alphabetical-order/n-to-s/maria-sko…> who will talk of: ///"Estimating the directing information and testing for causality" / * * *About the speaker: *Maria Skoularidou <https://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/people/in-alphabetical-order/n-to-s/maria-sko…> is a PhD student at Cambridge University, UK. Her thesis is focused on probabilistic machine learning and, more precisely, towards using generative modelling in healthcare. Her fields of interest lie in the underpinnings, theory and methodology of machine intelligence, Bayesian inference, theoretical computer science and information theory. She is founder and chair of {Dis}Ability in AI <https://elesa.github.io/ability_in_AI/> and founder and secretary of Women in Data Science and Statistics (RSS special interest group). // //* * *Abstract: *The problem of estimating the directed information rate between two discrete processes { X n } and {Yn } via the plug-in (or maximum-likelihood) estimator is considered. When the joint process {(Xn,Yn)} is a Markov chain of a given memory length, the plug-in estimator is shown to be asymptotically Gaussian and to converge at the optimal rate O(1/√n) under appropriate conditions; this is the first estimator that has been shown to achieve this rate. An important connection is drawn between the problem of estimating the directed information rate and that of performing a hypothesis test for the presence of causal influence between the two processes. Under fairly general conditions, the null hypothesis, which corresponds to the absence of causal influence, is equivalent to the requirement that the directed information rate be equal to zero. In that case, a finer result is established, showing that the plug-in converges at the faster rate O (1/ n) and that it is asymptotically χ 2 -distributed. This is proved by showing that this estimator is equal to (a scalar multiple of) the classical likelihood ratio statistic for the above hypothesis test. Finally, it is noted that these results facilitate the design of an actual likelihood ratio test for the presence or absence of causal influence.* * *Feel free to spread this announcement in your network.* * * *Where*:https://chalmers.zoom.us/j/61015800942 Password: 697666 ** **** *When*: Tuesday 1 March at 14.15-15.15*(Swedish time)*. ** -- _________________________________________________________ Umberto Picchini, Associate Professor, PhD, Docent https://umbertopicchini.github.io/ , twitter: @uPicchini

Dear colleagues, I am happy to invite you to the following two seminars in Quantitative Finance, organised by LTI@UniTO and Collegio Carlo Alberto: * Anatoli Segura (Bank of Italy), "Firm-bank linkages and optimal policies in a lockdown", on March 1st, h.12; * Daniel Andrei (McGill University), "Schumpeterian Competition in a Lucas economy", on March 2nd, h.16 You can find below titles, abstracts and zoom links to participate. All the best, Luca Regis -- Luca Regis Associate Professor ESOMAS Department, University of Torino Affiliate, Collegio Carlo Alberto sites.google.com/view/lucaregis Office: +39 011 670 6065 www.carloalberto.org/lti <#> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/ah6H1YEJxW87KLwVG32rWB4OULDhxlF8bw…> <#> *LTI@UniTO* and *Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto* are pleased to invite you to the following seminars <#> *March 1, 2022 | 12:00 - 13:15 @ HYBRID EVENT* <#> *Firm-bank linkages and optimal policies in a lockdown* Anatoli Segura, /Bank of Italy/ <#> *Abstract.* We develop a novel framework featuring loss amplification through firm-bank linkages. We use it to study optimal government support in a lockdown that creates heterogeneous revenue losses to firms, which must borrow from banks. Firms’ increase in debt reduces their output due to moral hazard. Banks need safe collateral to raise funds. Without government support, aggregate risk constrains bank lending, amplifying output losses. Optimal support provides sufficient aggregate risk insurance, and is implemented with firm-specific transfers, fairly-priced guarantees on bank debt, and countercyclical firms’ taxation to achieve a fiscal surplus target. Our results shed light on suboptimality dimensions in the actual policy responses. <#> To attend in presence, register here https://forms.gle/vPYYEGBktf66zc4W6 <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/f9zEQSjy6xY7o19sfmiU7UwOhW9DQd5VBI…> To attend online, join zoom meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88281857502?pwd=eW5GazNrYnFUUVR0cGg3RUlCM0NYUT09 <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/-IGT70kXO1-43Lgp7MtmZ2Fo3avErRm3RM…> Meeting ID: 882 8185 7502 Passcode: 161878 <#> <#> *March 2, 2022 | 16:00 - 17:15 @ WEBINAR* <#> *Schumpeterian Competition in a Lucas Economy* Daniel Andrei, /McGill University/ <#> *Abstract.* We model a rent-seeking game where agents experiment with a new technology and compete for claims to a consumption stream. We characterize how creative destruction affects risk, wealth, and asset prices. Competition not only imposes excessive disruption risk on existing assets and higher technological uncertainty, it also increases the wealth duration (the weighted-average maturity of the consumption stream). Because of hedging motives, a complementarity between wealth duration and technological uncertainty decreases systematic risk. If competition is sufficiently intense, a negative risk premium may arise. The model generates price paths consistent with boom-bust patterns and transient episodes of negative expected excess returns. We discuss the implications of competition for income inequality. <#> To attend online, Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82378901875?pwd=MVhPeTZGZktWNFk3RmdyMUltb3lDUT09 <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/tRYUAKB8XcDiTZ9YGCloGbosl3wS0nUBFI…> Meeting ID: 823 7890 1875 Passcode: 423048 <#> <#> <#> <#> <#> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/iaN__jlfz6z7ijnfLR9yi2AHyTYkufRgRm…> <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/7J-M65ra_O8_zk55wtbsnjVbAlqEnu-eZ_…> <#> FONDAZIONE COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Piazza Arbarello 8 - 10122 Torino, Italy phone: +390116705000 segreteria(a)carloalberto.org - www.carloalberto.org Facebook <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/Gny4_tfBFbYYjw5HiREGZ-3ih-MVeJe-HI…> Twitter <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/Ya696wYXuXevZmqUAl4AriMzYAAdxWQM75…> LinkedIn <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/wGq5ypAH5lBEZNV43pojp_3Bxd-QPNIYqf…> Instagram <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/Q-3bd3A33E3Uq--boYenIHuOmG53Ynvmlq…> Youtube <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/zolUnqcEQVaFklBL9NPBCULdSO9KrCqZol…> <#> *INFORMATION UNDER THE NEW GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)* Your personal information has been gathered for the exclusive purpose of informing you about the Collegio's initiatives, considering our and your legitimate interest or your consent.

(PMS)^2 online talk: Boualem Djehiche
by margherita Zanella 23 Feb '22

23 Feb '22

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: Boualem Djehiche (KTH, Stockholm) Title: Zero-sum mean-field Dynkin games. Abstract: I will review recent results on a class of zero-sum game problems of mean-field type which extend the classical zero-sum Dynkin game problems. The results I will highlight include sufficient conditions under which such a game admits a value and a saddle point and a characterization of the value of the game in terms of a specific class of doubly reflected backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) of mean-field type. Moreover, a corresponding system of weakly interacting values of zero-sum Dynkin games is introduced and is shown to converge to the value of the zero-sum mean-field Dynkin game. In particular, a propagation of chaos result is derived. This is a joint work with Roxana Dumistrescu. Date and time: Monday February 28, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone).

seminar: "Combined analysis of spatially misaligned data using Gaussian fields and the stochastic partial differential equation approach.", Paula Moraga 22 February
by Umberto Picchini 19 Feb '22

19 Feb '22

You are welcome to the next Statistics seminar at Dept of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers and Göteborg University. We are very glad to have, on Tuesday February 22, Paula Moraga <https://www.paulamoraga.com/> (KAUST) who will talk of: ///"Combined analysis of spatially misaligned data using Gaussian fields and the stochastic partial differential equation approach."/ //** paula moraga *About the speaker: *Paula Moraga <https://www.paulamoraga.com/> is an Assistant Professor of Statistics at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and the Principal Investigator of the GeoHealth research group. Her research focuses on the development of innovative statistical methods and computational tools for geospatial data analysis and health surveillance, and the impact of her work has directly informed strategic policy in reducing disease burden in several countries. She has developed modeling architectures to understand the geographic and temporal patterns and identify targets for intervention of diseases such as malaria in Africa and cancer in Australia, and has worked on the development of a number of R packages for Bayesian risk modeling, detection of disease clusters, and risk assessment of travel-related spread of disease. // //* * *Abstract: *Spatially misaligned data are becoming increasingly common due to advances in both data collection and management in a wide range of scientific disciplines including the epidemiological, ecological and environmental fields. Here, we present a Bayesian geostatistical model for fusion of data obtained at point and areal resolutions. The model assumes that underlying all observations there is a spatially continuous variable that can be modeled using a Gaussian random field process. The model is fitted using the integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) and the stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) approaches. In the SPDE approach, a continuously indexed Gaussian random field is represented as a discretely indexed Gaussian Markov random field (GMRF) by means of a finite basis function defined on a triangulation of the region of study. In order to allow the combination of point and areal data, a new projection matrix for mapping the GMRF from the observation locations to the triangulation nodes is proposed which takes into account the types of data to be combined. The performance of the model is examined via simulation when it is fitted to point, areal, and point and areal data combined to predict several simulated surfaces that can appear in real settings. The model is also applied to predict the concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, USA, during 2011. The results show that the combination of point and areal data provides better predictions than if the method is applied to just one type of data, and this is consistent over both simulated and real data. We conclude the approach presented may be a helpful advance in the area of spatial statistics by providing a useful tool that is applicable in a wide range of situations where information at different spatial resolutions needs to be combined. *Feel free to spread this announcement in your network.* * * *Where*: https://chalmers.zoom.us/j/64709763394 Password: 920248 ** **** *When*: Tuesday 22 February at 14.15-15.15*(Swedish time)*. ** -- _________________________________________________________ Umberto Picchini, Associate Professor, PhD, Docent https://umbertopicchini.github.io/ , twitter: @uPicchini

Seminar José Figueroa Lopez in Verona, 23/2/22 at 12, Efficient Volatility Estimation for Lévy Processes with Jumps of Unbounded Variation
by Cecilia Mancini 16 Feb '22

16 Feb '22

José Figueroa Lopez Professor at the Washington University in St. Louis will give, both on site and on line, the SEMINAR Efficient Volatility Estimation for Lévy Processes with Jumps of Unbounded Variation Abstract. Statistical inference for stochastic processes based on high-frequency observations has been an active research area for more than a decade. One of the most well-known and widely studied problems is that of estimation of the quadratic variation of the continuous component of an Itô semimartingale with jumps. Several rate- and variance-efficient estimators have been proposed in the literature when the jump component is of bounded variation. However, to date, very few methods can deal with jumps of unbounded variation. By developing new high-order expansions of the truncated moments of a Lévy process, we construct a new rate- and variance-efficient estimator for a class of Lévy processes of unbounded variation, whose small jumps behave like those of a stable Lévy process with Blumenthal-Getoor index less than 8/5. The proposed method is based on a two-step debiasing procedure for the truncated realized quadratic variation of the process. Our Monte Carlo experiments indicate that the method outperforms other efficient alternatives in the literature in the setting covered by our theoretical framework. All interested people are warmly invited to participate Professor Figueroa-Lopez is visiting our department from February the 10th to March the 22nd, and from June the 15th to August the 15th For attendance via Zoom, please register at the following page, we will send you the meeting link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdJ6PccwEy8tSEngi0JMUKYEJ4yOHuuwur… Live attendance: the Department of Economics, via Cantarane 24, Vaona room.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 18 Febbraio 2022, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Graham Cormode* (University of Warwick) Title: *New Lower and Upper Bounds for Quantile Summary Algorithms* Abstract: Finding the median, or more generally quantiles, is a core problem in data analysis. The question has been heavily studied in streaming and related models of computation, for over four decades. In this talk I will present some recent advances: - Lower bounds for approximating quantiles in the deterministic comparison model, for additive error, which show that the best known algorithm is in fact optimal - Upper bounds for relative error epsilon-approximations of quantiles, which improves over previous results and exceed the best known lower bounds by only an O(log(1/e)3/2) factor. This covers joint work with Pavel Vesely, Justin Thaler, Edo Liberty and Zohar Karnin. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88206863118?pwd=cmlHYzBXbW9NZ2JVYmtDbDNqNnFydz09> Meeting ID: 882 0686 3118 Passcode: 757710 Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats Cordiali saluti, Pierpaolo De Blasi -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

(PMS)^2 online talk: Michele Coghi, Monday February 14 at 17.30
by Carlo Orrieri 09 Feb '22

09 Feb '22

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following online talk: Speaker: Michele Coghi (Università d Trento) Title: Rough McKean-Vlasov dynamics for robust ensemble Kalman filtering. Abstract: Motivated by the challenge of incorporating data into misspecified and multiscale dynamical models, we study a McKean-Vlasov equation that contains the data stream as a common driving rough path. This setting allows us to prove well-posedness as well as continuity with respect to the driver in an appropriate rough-path topology. The latter property is key in our subsequent development of a robust data assimilation methodology: We establish propagation of chaos for the associated interacting particle system, which in turn is suggestive of a numerical scheme that can be viewed as an extension of the ensemble Kalman filter to a rough-path framework. Finally, we discuss a data-driven method based on subsampling to construct suitable rough path lifts and demonstrate the robustness of our scheme in a number of numerical experiments related to parameter estimation problems in multiscale contexts. Based on arXiv:2107.06621 <https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.06621>. Date and time: Monday February 14, 17:30-18:30 (Rome time zone) Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88138955113?pwd=R1Vpa2xWVDlFc2pjUXIxSWpWU21LQT09 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88138955113?pwd=R1Vpa2xWVDlFc2pjUXIxSWpWU21LQT09> ID riunione: 881 3895 5113 Passcode: 672537 This talk is the second of the (PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico and Milano-Statale.

Online workshop announcement
by Alessandra Micheletti 08 Feb '22

08 Feb '22

*Big Data challenges for Mathematics: state of the art and future perspectives* *Online webinar – February 25, 2022* The workshop will be held on the platform Zoom and will be streamed on YouTube. Participants who would like to follow the workshop in real time and participate to the discussion with the speakers are requested to register. See the web site of the workshop for registration, programme and additional information: *http://itn-bigmath.unimi.it/* <http://itn-bigmath.unimi.it/> *Aims of the workshop:* Nowadays the data deluge is the hallmark of a new kind of ‘Law of Large Numbers’ that builds intelligence from large, heterogeneous, noisy and, in general, complex data sets collected from mobile devices, the Internet of Things, software logs, automated medical devices, social media, and so many other data sources. The classical mathematical and statistical paradigms are often not applicable to current real-world problems, so there is a growing demand of new mathematical and statistical techniques to face such problems, able to shed some light on the often black-box techniques which are usually applied in such context and which characterise Deep Learning and, more generally, Artificial Intelligence. On the other side, since computers can not do everything by themselves, there is a growing need for new professional and scientific figures, the data scientists, that master a whole range of skills, ranging from data processing to sophisticated math tools and computational skills that are needed to extract the knowledge. The state of the art and future research perspectives in this framework will be highlighted and discussed in this webinar by the PhD students enrolled in the EU funded MSCA Project BIGMATH <http://itn-bigmath.unimi.it/> (grant n. 812912), starting from a set of challenging industrial case studies. Additionally some well known keynote speakers will introduce their point of view on possible future perspectives in different specific and quite hot subject areas related with the analysis of complex and big data. -- ------------------------------------ Alessandra Micheletti Associate Professor - Probability and Mathematical Statistics Dept. of Environmental Science and Policy - ESP Università degli Studi di Milano via Saldini 50, 20133 Milano, Italy phone: +39-02503-16130 fax: +39-02503-16090 https://alessandramichelettiwebpage.wordpress.com/

Prossimi seminari PRISMA
by Domenico Marinucci 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

Cari colleghi, scusandomi per eventuali ripetizioni, vi annuncio i prossimi due seminari della serie UMI-Prisma, che si svolgeranno online su piattaforma teams lunedì prossimo 7 febbraio dalle 16 alle 18: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Speaker: Ernesto De Vito, Dipartimento di Matematica e MaLGa Center, Università di Genova Title: Empirical risk minimization: old and new results Abstract: The first part of the talk is devoted to a brief introduction to supervised learning focusing on the regularised empirical risk minimization (ERM) on Reproducing Kernel Hilbert spaces. Though ERM achieves optimal convergence rates [1], it requires huge computational resources on high dimensional datasets. The second half of the talk is devoted to discuss some recent ideas where the hypothesis space is a low dimensional random space. This approach naturally leads to computational savings, but the question is whether the corresponding learning accuracy is degraded. If the random subspace is spanned by a random subset of the data, the statistical-computational tradeoff has been first explored for the least squares loss [2,3], for the least squares loss, then for self-concordant loss functions [4] , as the logistic loss, and, quite recently, for non-smooth convex Lipschitz loss functions [5], as the hinge loss.

We will show direct applications in probability representation and non-convex optimization. In particular, the model allows to derive an algorithm for non-convex optimization that is adaptive to the degree of differentiability of the objective function and achieves optimal rates of convergence. Finally, we show how to apply the same technique to other interesting problems in applied mathematics that can be easily expressed in terms of inequalities.

Antonio Pievatolo %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Annuncio di seminario online Stefano Favaro, Università di Torino e CNR-IMATI Learning-augmented count-min sketches via Bayesian nonparametrics ven 28 gen 2022 11:30 - 12:30 (CET) The count-min sketch (CMS) is a time and memory efficient randomized data structure that provides estimates of tokens’ frequencies in a data stream, i.e. point queries, based on randomly hashed data. Learning-augmented CMSs aim at improving the CMS by means of learning models that allow to better exploit data properties. We focus on the learning-augmented CMS of Cai, Mitzenmacher and Adams (NeurIPS, 2018), which relies on Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) modeling of a data stream via Dirichlet process (DP) priors; this is refereed to as the CMS-DP. We present a novel and rigorous approach of the CMS-DP, and we show that it allows to consider more general classes of nonparametric priors than the DP prior. We apply our approach to develop a novel learning-augmented CMS under power-law data streams, which relies on BNP modeling of the stream via Pitman-Yor process (PYP) priors; this is referred to as the CMS-PYP. Applications to synthetic data and real data show that the CMS-PYP outperfo rms both the CMS and CMS-DP in the estimation of low-frequency tokens; this is known to be a critical feature in natural language processing, where it is indeed common to encounter power-law data.

Seminario di Stefano Favaro, venerdì 28 gennaio ore 11:30 - 12:30
by Antonio Pievatolo 25 Jan '22

25 Jan '22

Annuncio di seminario online Stefano Favaro, Università di Torino e CNR-IMATI Learning-augmented count-min sketches via Bayesian nonparametrics ven 28 gen 2022 11:30 - 12:30 (CET) The count-min sketch (CMS) is a time and memory efficient randomized data structure that provides estimates of tokens’ frequencies in a data stream, i.e. point queries, based on randomly hashed data. Learning-augmented CMSs aim at improving the CMS by means of learning models that allow to better exploit data properties. We focus on the learning-augmented CMS of Cai, Mitzenmacher and Adams (NeurIPS, 2018), which relies on Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) modeling of a data stream via Dirichlet process (DP) priors; this is refereed to as the CMS-DP. We present a novel and rigorous approach of the CMS-DP, and we show that it allows to consider more general classes of nonparametric priors than the DP prior. We apply our approach to develop a novel learning-augmented CMS under power-law data streams, which relies on BNP modeling of the stream via Pitman-Yor process (PYP) priors; this is referred to as the CMS-PYP. Applications to synthetic data and real data show that the CMS-PYP outperforms both the CMS and CMS-DP in the estimation of low-frequency tokens; this is known to be a critical feature in natural language processing, where it is indeed common to encounter power-law data.

Seminar Dr Moises Rodriguez Madrena - Roma Tre University
by Francesco Cesarone 24 Jan '22

24 Jan '22

Dear All, we are happy to invite you to the seminar of Dr. Moises Rodriguez Madrena (Universidad de Sevilla - Facultad de Matemáticas) that will take place on Thursday, January 27, 15:00-16:00. The seminar will be held in-person room 18 (Aula 18) of the Department of Business Studies of Roma Tre University (Via Silvio D'Amico, 77 00145 - Roma, Italy), and online via Teams. For security reasons, please send an email to francesco.cesarone(a)uniroma3.it<mailto:francesco.cesarone@uniroma3.it> if you want to attend the seminar in person. We are looking forward to seeing you! Francesco Cesarone ================================================================ Date and time: January 27 (Thursday), 15:00 pm Speaker: Dr. Moises Rodriguez Madrena (Universidad de Sevilla - Facultad de Matemáticas) Title: Location Problems: New Advances and Applications Abstract: Location problems are among the most important problems in the area of Operation Research. In general, a location problem consists of determining the position of one or more facilities to satisfy the demand of a set of demand points, such that some criteria (represented by objective functions) are optimized (minimize or maximize). In this seminar, we present two new location problems that arise from two different applied scopes. (1) In the literature of transportation research field, it is frequent to address routing or distribution problems where the movement between points is given by the combination of different transportation modes. For instance, movements within or outside an urban area could be different: within the city boundary the movement is slow due to the layout of the streets and traffic, while outside this boundary in the rural area the movement is fast. This situation can be modeled as regions endowed with different norms, where distances within the regions are the ones induced by the corresponding norm. In this framework, we address the single-facility Weber location problem considering different Lp-norms at different polyhedral regions. (2) Given a set of tradable assets, the classical portfolio selection problem consists in determining the amount of capital to be invested in each asset to build the most performing portfolio. A relatively recent promising strand of research is to exploit clustering information of an asset network to develop new portfolio optimization paradigms. Following this idea, we endow the asset network with a metric based on correlation coefficients between assets’ returns and show how classical location problems on networks can be used for clustering assets. More precisely, in the bi-objective (gain-risk) portfolio selection model, we add a third criterion which is represented by the objective function of the standard p-median location problem. In this way, we are able to evaluate the effect of different degrees of clustering on the selected portfolios. We tackle the above problems using Mathematical Programming tools (MISOCP and MILP formulations for the first and the second problems, respectively). The usefulness of our approach is validated by reporting some computational experiments.
