Seminario PRISMA lunedì 7 aprile 2025 - S. Favaro & M. Beraha
by Sonia Mazzucchi 07 Apr '25

07 Apr '25

Buongiorno, ricordiamo che oggi lunedì 7 aprile dalle 16 alle 17:15 si svolgerà il periodico seminario on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA ( http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium" per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Da quest'anno le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb I relatori di oggi saranno Stefano Favaro (Università di Torino) e Mario Beraha (Università di Milano Bicocca) che parleranno di: Il modello di Ewens-Pitman per partizioni aleatorie e la sua (naturale) estensione alle allocazioni aleatorie con il seguente orario: 16:00 Primo seminario 16:30 Pausa e discussione 16:45 Secondo seminario 17:15 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://unitn.zoom.us/j/87150580430 ID riunione: 871 5058 0430 Codice d’accesso: 591823 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Sonia Mazzucchi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Stefano Favaro (Università di Torino) e Mario Beraha (Università di Milano Bicocca) TITOLO: Il modello di Ewens-Pitman per partizioni aleatorie e la sua (naturale) estensione alle allocazioni aleatorie RIASSUNTO: Nella prima parte del seminario verrà introdotto il modello di Ewens-Pitman per partizioni aleatorie, presentandone una caratterizzazione in termini di sufficienza predittiva nell’ambito della classe dei modelli di campionamento di specie. Successivamente, verrà offerta una panoramica sui principali teoremi limite relativi al numero di blocchi e blocchi con molteplicità della partizione di Ewens-Pitman, con particolare attenzione alle fluttuazioni quasi-certe, ai principi di grandi deviazioni e alle fluttuazioni Gaussiane. Infine, si illustrerà un’applicazione del modello di Ewens-Pitman alla soluzione Bayesiana del problema della stima della “missing mass”, noto come problema di Good-Turing, e della stima del “unseen”, o problema di Fisher-Efron. Nella seconda parte del seminario si parlerà di allocazioni aleatorie; un’allocazione di N oggetti è un multi-insieme di sottoinsiemi non vuoti degli N oggetti che, al contrario di una partizione, possono non essere mutuamente esclusivi o esaustivi. Partendo dal modello Indian buffet di Ghahramani e Griffiths, che costituisce il naturale analogo del modello di Ewens nel caso di allocazioni, verranno presentati alcuni risultati sull’analisi Bayesiana di allocazioni aleatorie. In particolare, verranno discusse caratterizzazioni di sufficienza predittiva per allocazioni aleatorie, che generalizzano i corrispondenti risultati sui modelli di campionamento di specie. Due illustrazioni relative al problema delle “missing features” verranno descritte. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Seminario di Charles Bordenave a Roma Tre il 10 aprile alle 16:30
by Pietro Caputo 04 Apr '25

04 Apr '25

Giovedì 10 aprile alle ore 16.30, Charles Bordenave (CNRS - Marseille) terrà il seminario Title: Cutoff for geodesic paths on hyperbolic manifolds Abstract: This is a joint work with Joffrey Mathien. We establish new instances of the cutoff phenomenon for geodesic paths and for the Brownian motion on compact hyperbolic manifolds. We prove that for any fixed compact hyperbolic manifold, the geodesic path started on a spatially localized initial condition exhibits cutoff. Our work also extends results obtained by Golubev and Kamber on hyperbolic surfaces of large volume to any dimension. More generally, we will discuss ongoing works on the cutoff phenomenon in mixing dynamical systems. Il seminario si svolgerà presso il Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica di Roma Tre, Lungotevere Dante 376 - aula M1. -- Pietro Caputo Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica via della vasca navale 84, 00146 Roma, Italy. www.mat.uniroma3.it/users/caputo

Dear colleagues, this is a gentle reminder of today One World Probability Seminar, details below. Please note the unsual time: the seminar will be held at 17:00 (italian time). You can find the calendar for the upcoming seminars at this link<https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar/future-seminars>. We hope to see many of you online! Luisa and Roger ________________________________ Da: One World Probability <ow.probability(a)gmail.com> Inviato: mercoledì 2 aprile 2025 14:41 A: Luisa Andreis <luisa.andreis(a)polimi.it> Oggetto: Fwd: Next OWPS The next OWPS will be on Wednesday, April 2, from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC time. Note that the UTC time is shifted by one hour (to add to the confusion of those of you in countries that have changed the clock recently). Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar<https://protect-eu.mimecast.com/s/-zGkCWqjZFlpkVlsnEyR_?domain=eur01.safeli…>. ----------------------- Spherical integrals in probability and beyond Colin McSwiggen (Academia Sinica) This mostly expository talk will introduce a number of types of integrals over compact Lie groups that show up constantly in probability and mathematical physics. The analysis of these so-called spherical integrals, in particular their high-dimensional ("large-N") asymptotics, has played a central role in random matrix theory and related subjects over the last 25 years. I'll outline the history of these special functions and describe a number of applications in which they arise, including some original research results with various coauthors. Finally, as a segue to the second lecture by Jon Novak, I'll discuss approaches to large-N analysis. Hypergeometric functions of huge (random) matrices Jonathan Novak (UC San Diego) Hypergeometric functions of matrix arguments are multivariate generalizations of classical hypergeometric functions, and approximating hypergeometric functions of huge matrices is one of the most exciting open problems in high-dimensional analysis. Over the course of the past decade, it has gradually become clear that hypergeometric functions of matrices are discrete analogues of random matrix partition functions. This analogy is clearest for complex matrices, where hypergeometric functions are discrete counterparts of the partition function of the Hermitian one-matrix model with an arbitrary potential, with Schur measure taking on the role of the Gaussian background. Once this is understood, a striking conjecture explicitly describing the asymptotics of all hypergeometric functions emerges. I will explain this conjecture, and outline recent progress towards its solution. https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92945513591?pwd=zjtRwpHoO9kRyQuPPj4o186jXrvg1v.1 Meeting ID: 92945513591 Passcode: 131676

Seminar Alexandra Holzinger - Luiss
by Marta Leocata 01 Apr '25

01 Apr '25

Dear all, The Department of Economics and Finance at Luiss University in Rome (https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it <https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/>) is pleased to announce the following seminar: Speaker: Alexandra Holzinger, Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford Title: Fluctuations around the mean-field limit for attractive Riesz interaction kernels in the moderate regime When: April 3, 14:30 Where: Viale Romania, 32 00197 Rome Meeting room: 405 Abstract: In this talk I will give a short introduction to moderately interacting particle systems and the general notion of fluctuations around the mean-field limit. We will see how a central limit theorem can be shown for moderately interacting particles on the whole space for certain types of interaction potentials. The interaction potential approximates singular attractive potentials of sub-Coulomb type and we can show that the fluctuations become asymptotically Gaussians. The methodology is inspired by the classical work of Oelschläger in the 1980s on fluctuations for the porous-medium equation. To allow for attractive potentials we use a new approach of quantitative mean-field convergence in probability in order to include aggregation effects. Should you be interested, please kindly send me an e-mail. Best wishes, Marta Leocata

Seminars in Statistics at Collegio Carlo Alberto - Sergios AGAPIOU (University of Cyprus)

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/s…> Venerdì 04/04/2025, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ 12.00-13.00 Speaker: Sergios AGAPIOU (University of Cyprus) Title: HEAVY-TAILED BAYESIAN NONPARAMETRIC ADAPTATION OVER BESOV SPACES Abstract: We will consider the Bayesian recovery of an unknown function from direct observations polluted by white Gaussian noise, and we will be interested in studying the asymptotic performance of the posterior in the infinitely informative data limit, in terms of rates of contraction. We will be especially interested in priors which are adaptive to the smoothness of the unknown function. In the past decade, certain hierarchical and empirical Bayes procedures based on Gaussian process priors, have been shown to achieve adaptation to spatially homogenous smoothness. However, we have recently shown that Gaussian priors are suboptimal for spatially inhomogeneous unknowns, that is, functions which are smooth in some areas and rough or even discontinuous in other areas of their domain. Such unknowns are abundant in applications such as imaging, and can be modeled using Besov spaces, which generalize (the more widely known) Sobolev and Hölder spaces. In contrast to Gaussian priors, we have shown that (similar) hierarchical and empirical Bayes procedures based on Laplace (series) priors, achieve adaptation to both homogeneously and inhomogeneously smooth functions. All of these procedures involve the tuning of a hyperparameter of the Gaussian or Laplace prior. We will introduce Besov spaces and will recall their minimax theory developed in the mid-late 90’s and has various interesting features. After reviewing the above Bayesian results, we will present a new strategy for adaptation to smoothness based on heavy-tailed priors. Specifically, we will show that adaptive rates of contraction in the minimax sense (up to logarithmic factors) are achieved without tuning of any hyperparameters. This adaptation is achieved for both homogeneously and inhomogeneously smooth unknowns, in particular, we will show that the studied heavy-tailed priors are adaptive over all Besov spaces and for all L^p-losses, for p from 1 up to infinity. Extensive numerical simulations corroborating the theory will be presented as well. This is joint work with Masoumeh Dashti, Tapio Helin, Aimilia Savva and Sven Wang (Laplace priors), and Ismaël Castillo and Paul Egels (heavy-tailed priors) ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile il seminario anche in streaming: chiunque volesse collegarsi è pregato di inviare una email entro *mercoledì 02/04/2025* a matteo.giordano(a)unito.it <mailto:matteo.giordano@unito.it> .

MOX COLLOQUIUM - 10.04.25 ore 14:30 – Mihaela van der Schaar
by Laura Maria Sangalli 27 Mar '25

27 Mar '25

Cari Colleghi, vi segnalo il seguente seminario, in modalità ibrida, della serie dei MOX COLLOQUIA: 10.04.25 Ore 14:30 - Aula IV, Edificio 11, Politecnico di Milano Speaker: Mihaela van der Schaar, Faculty of Mathematics, University of Cambridge Titolo: Can we discover fundamental laws from data using AI? Abstract: Discovering fundamental laws governing systems from observational data has long been a hallmark of scientific inquiry. In this talk, I will discuss how recent advances in AI and machine learning enable the automated discovery of scientific laws and governing equations directly from data, revolutionizing the way we unravel system dynamics in numerous domains, including medicine and pharmacology. I will highlight how AI-driven methods uncover underlying principles, from classical physics to biological systems to medicine, and offer insights into future possibilities—transforming data-driven observations into interpretable and actionable scientific knowledge. Yet, can we push this boundary further—going beyond equations entirely? I will introduce direct semantic modeling, a novel paradigm where AI learns the behavior of dynamical systems directly from data without relying on closed-form equations. This semantic approach offers intuitive, human-interpretable insights into system evolution, marking a transformative leap in scientific discovery. (This talk is based on recent research with Krzysztof Kacprzyk, Tennison Liu and Sam Holt.) Il seminario sarà accessibile online: https://mox.polimi.it/mox-colloquia-seminars-list/mox-seminars/?id_evento=2… https://cassyni.com/events/SAFbogPTLoJ6dkTvUoNtWy Seguirà rinfresco.

QFinLab Seminar - Claudio Fontana (Università di Padova) - 2/4/2025, 12:15 @ Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandro Calvia 27 Mar '25

27 Mar '25

Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Wednesday, 2 April 2025, 12.15-13.15 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus) Claudio Fontana (Università di Padova) Title: A stochastic Gordon-Loeb model for optimal security investment under clustered cyber-attacks. Abstract: We propose a continuous-time extension of the Gordon-Loeb model for optimal investment in information security under the threat of cyber-attacks. The arrival of attacks is modeled using Hawkes processes, capturing the realistic feature of clustering in cyber-attacks. Each attack may lead to a system breach, with the probability of breach depending on the system's vulnerability. We aim at determining the optimal investment in cyber-security to reduce the system's vulnerability. The problem is formulated as a two-dimensional Markovian stochastic control problem and solved via dynamic programming techniques. We perform a numerical study of the value function and the associated optimal investment strategy in cyber-security, highlighting the impact of randomly arriving clustered cyber-attacks. Based on a joint work with G. Callegaro, C. Hillairet, B. Ongarato. Next seminar: Alessandro Sbuelz (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore), 7 May 12.15. All news can be found on the QFinLab webpage<https://www.qfinlab.polimi.it/seminars-and-meetings/>. The organizers: Michele Azzone and Alessandro Calvia.

Diffondo volentieri ---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: Stefan Geiss <geiss(a)jyu.fi> Date: Mer 26 Mar 2025, 07:15 Subject: International Seminar on SDEs ... : Apr 11: Arnaud Debussche To: <gianmario.tessitore(a)unimib.it> Best regards, Stefan Dear Colleague, tomorrow, Friday, April 11 , (12:30 noon London, 1:30 pm Berlin, 2:30 pm Helsinki, 7:30 pm Beijing) in the *International Seminar on SDEs and Related Topics* in Zoom https://jyufi.zoom.us/j/61891007917 Apr 11, 2025 *Arnaud Debussche* (ENS Rennes, France) will speak about *From correlated to white transport noise in fluid models* Abstract: Stochastic fluid models with transport noise are popular, the transport noise models unresolved small scales. The main assumption in these models is a very strong separation of scales allowing this representation of small scales by white - i.e. fully decorrelated - noise. It is therefore natural to investigate whether these models are limits of models with correlated noises. Also, an advantage of correlated noises is that they allow classical calculus. In particular, it allows to revisit the derivation of stochastic models from variational principles and allows to derive an equation for the evolution of the noise components. The advantage of having such an equation is that in most works, the noise components are considered as given and stationary with respect to time which is non realistic. Coupling stochastic fluid models with these gives more realistic systems. ===== about the speaker ==== Arnaud Debussche is a prominent French mathematician specializing in stochastic partial differential equations and their applications. Born in 1965, he attended the École Normale Supérieure de Saint-Cloud,where he pursued advanced studies in mathematics. He earned his Ph.D. from Université d'Orsay in 1989. Following a postdoctoral position at Indiana University, he joined the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) in 1992. In 2000, he became a full professor at the École Normale Supérieure de Rennes, where he continues to contribute significantly to the field. Throughout his career, Professor Debussche has made substantial contributions to the analysis and numerical simulation of stochastic partial differential equations, particularly in fluid dynamics. His work includes studies on the stochastic Navier–Stokes equations and the stochastic nonlinear Schrödinger equation. He has also co-edited scholarly works on stochastic partial differential equations, reflecting his active engagement in advancing mathematical understanding in this area. Professor Debussche's research has been widely recognized and cited, underscoring his influence in the mathematical community. His ongoing work continues to shape the study of stochastic processes and their applications in complex systems. ========our webpage is ======================== https://users.jyu.fi/~chgeiss/271828.html

Successivamente, verrà offerta una panoramica sui principali teoremi limite relativi al numero di blocchi e blocchi con molteplicità della partizione di Ewens-Pitman, con particolare attenzione alle fluttuazioni quasi-certe, ai principi di grandi deviazioni e alle fluttuazioni Gaussiane. Infine, si illustrerà un’applicazione del modello di Ewens-Pitman alla soluzione Bayesiana del problema della stima della “missing mass”, noto come problema di Good-Turing, e della stima del “unseen”, o problema di Fisher-Efron. Nella seconda parte del seminario si parlerà di allocazioni aleatorie; un’allocazione di N oggetti è un multi-insieme di sottoinsiemi non vuoti degli N oggetti che, al contrario di una partizione, possono non essere mutuamente esclusivi o esaustivi. Partendo dal modello Indian buffet di Ghahramani e Griffiths, che costituisce il naturale analogo del modello di Ewens nel caso di allocazioni, verranno presentati alcuni risultati sull’analisi Bayesiana di allocazioni aleatorie. In particolare, verranno discusse caratterizzazioni di sufficienza predittiva per allocazioni aleatorie, che generalizzano i corrispondenti risultati sui modelli di campionamento di specie. Due illustrazioni relative al problema delle “missing features” verranno descritte. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

OWABI - Meïli Baragatti - March 27 - 11am UK time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 24 Mar '25

24 Mar '25

Dear all, the next OWABI seminar www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc> is quickly approaching, being scheduled on Thursday the 27th March at 11am UK time. Our next speaker is Meïli Baragatti<https://www.vinifera-euromaster.eu/team/meili-baragatti/> (Université de Montpellier), who will talk about "Approximate Bayesian Computation with Deep Learning and Conformal Prediction", with an abstract reported below. Abstract: Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) methods are commonly used to approximate posterior distributions in models with unknown or computationally intractable likelihoods. Classical ABC methods are based on nearest neighbor type algorithms and rely on the choice of so-called summary statistics, distances between datasets and a tolerance threshold. Recently, methods combining ABC with more complex machine learning algorithms have been proposed to mitigate the impact of these "user-choices''. In this talk, I will present you the first, to our knowledge, ABC method completely free of summary statistics, distance, and tolerance threshold. Moreover, in contrast with usual generalizations of the ABC method, it associates a confidence interval (having a proper frequentist marginal coverage) with the posterior mean estimation (or other moment-type estimates). This method, named ABCD-Conformal, uses a neural network with Monte Carlo Dropout to provide an estimation of the posterior mean (or other moment type functionals), and conformal theory to obtain associated confidence sets. I will compare its performances with other ABC methods on several examples, and show you that it is efficient for estimating multidimensional parameters, while being "amortized". Keywords: Likelihood-free inference · Approximate Bayesian computation · Convolutional neural networks · Dropout · Conformal prediction Reference: M. Baragatti, B. Cloez, D. M´etivier, I. Sanchez.

Seminario Lorenzo dello Schiavo
by Gustavo Posta 20 Mar '25

20 Mar '25

Nell'ambito delle attività del Progetto di Eccellenza 2023-2027 del Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Castelnuovo" il professor Lorenzo dello Schiavo, Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata, terrà 2 seminari nell'aula L del Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Castelnuovo" il 2 aprile 2025 alle 16:00 e il 10 aprile 2025 alle 14:30 dal titolo Massive particle systems, Wasserstein Brownian motions, and the Dean–Kawasaki equation (Part I & II) Sunto: Let W be a conservative, ergodic Markov diffusion on some arbitrary state space M, converging exponentially fast to equilibrium. We consider: (1) Systems of up to countably many massive particles in M, with finite total mass. Each particle is subject to an independent instance of the noise W, with volatility the inverse mass carried by the particle. We prove that the corresponding infinite system of SDEs has a unique solution, for every starting configuration and every distribution of the masses in the infinite simplex. (2) Solutions to the Dean--Kawasaki SPDE with singular drift, driven by the generator L of W. We prove that the equation may be given rigorous meaning on M, and that it has a unique `distributional’ solution. This extends Konarovskyi--Lehmann--von Renesse's `ill-posedness vs. triviality' to the case of infinitely many massive particles. (3) Diffusions with values in the space P of all probability measures on M, driven by the geometry induced by L. (4) In the case when M is a manifold, differential-geometric and metric-measure Brownian motions on P induced by the geometry of optimal transportation and reversible for a normalized completely random measure. We show that all these objects coincide. The first talk will survey general aspects of the constructions, mostly focussing on (1) and (3). The second talk will focus on (2) and explain its relations with known results about the Dean–Kawasaki equation. Gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Gustavo Posta Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma "la Sapienza" P.le A.

Seminar Sirio Legramanti @Luiss
by Alessia Caponera 17 Mar '25

17 Mar '25

Dear all, The Department of Economics and Finance at Luiss University in Rome (*https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it <https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/>*) is pleased to announce the following seminar: *Speaker*: Sirio Legramanti, University of Bergamo *Title*: Concentration of discrepancy-based approximate Bayesian computation via Rademacher complexity *When*: March 27, 14:30 *Where*: Viale Romania, 32 00197 Rome *Meeting room*: 405 *Abstract*: There has been an increasing interest on summary-free solutions for approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) that replace distances among summaries with discrepancies between the empirical distributions of the observed data and the synthetic samples generated under the proposed parameter values. The success of these strategies has motivated theoretical studies on the limiting properties of the induced posteriors. However, there is still the lack of a theoretical framework for summary-free ABC that (i) is unified, instead of discrepancy-specific, (ii) does not necessarily require to constrain the analysis to data generating processes and statistical models meeting specific regularity conditions, but rather facilitates the derivation of limiting properties that hold uniformly, and (iii) relies on verifiable assumptions that provide more explicit concentration bounds clarifying which factors govern the limiting behavior of the ABC posterior. We address this gap via a novel theoretical framework that introduces the concept of Rademacher complexity in the analysis of the limiting properties for discrepancy-based ABC posteriors, including in non-i.i.d. and misspecified settings. This yields a unified theory that relies on constructive arguments and provides more informative asymptotic results and uniform concentration bounds, even in those settings not covered by current studies. These key advancements are obtained by relating the asymptotic properties of summary-free ABC posteriors to the behavior of the Rademacher complexity associated with the chosen discrepancy within the family of integral probability semimetrics (IPS). The IPS class extends summary-based distances, and also includes the widely implemented Wasserstein distance and maximum mean discrepancy (MMD), among others. As clarified in specialized theoretical analyses of popular IPS discrepancies and via illustrative simulations, this new perspective improves the understanding of summary-free ABC.

Two classes of quantile diffusions are identified: the first, which we largely focus on, features a dynamic random quantile level that allows for direct interpretation of the resulting quantile process characteristics such as location, scale, skewness, and kurtosis, in terms of the model parameters. The second type are function--valued quantile diffusions and are driven by stochastic parameter processes, which determine the entire quantile function at each point in time. By the proposed construction method, quantile processes are obtained by transforming the marginals of a diffusion process under a composite map consisting of a distribution and a quantile function. Sub-classes of quantile diffusions are explored, with emphasis placed on the Tukey family of models whereby skewness and kurtosis are directly parameterised and thus the composite map is explicable with respect to such statistical behaviours. As an example of an application of quantile diffusions, we show how probability measure distortions, a form of dynamic tilting, can be induced. Though particularly useful in financial mathematics and actuarial science, examples of which are given in this work, measure distortions feature across multiple research areas. For instance, dynamic distributional approximations (statistics), non-parametric and asymptotic analysis (mathematical statistics), dynamic risk measures (econometrics), behavioural economics, decision making (operations research), signal processing (information theory), and not least in general risk theory including applications thereof.

A parte esempi specialissimi però, non ci si può aspettare di poter dare una descrizione esatta del comportamento in ciascun istante. In effetti in generale le evoluzioni temporali possono essere molto imprevedibili, ad esempio, in assenza di attrito, ci si aspetta la coesistenza di dinamiche ricorrenti e caotiche. In questo seminario discuterò principalmente modelli semplificati che sono piccole perturbazioni di sistemi di molle e mostrerò che già in questo caso si osservano vari fenomeni matematicamente interessanti e fisicamente significativi.

Seminario Padova - Andrea Macrina
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 10 Mar '25

10 Mar '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (14 Marzo) in aula 2BC30 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Andrea Macrina (UCL London) <https://amacrina.wixsite.com/macrina> https://amacrina.wixsite.com/macrina Title: Continuous-Time Quantile Processes with Applications in Finance and Insurance Date: March 14, 2025, at 16:30, room 2BC30 Abstract: We develop a novel approach for the construction of quantile processes governing the stochastic dynamics of quantiles in continuous time. Two classes of quantile diffusions are identified: the first, which we largely focus on, features a dynamic random quantile level that allows for direct interpretation of the resulting quantile process characteristics such as location, scale, skewness, and kurtosis, in terms of the model parameters. The second type are function--valued quantile diffusions and are driven by stochastic parameter processes, which determine the entire quantile function at each point in time. By the proposed construction method, quantile processes are obtained by transforming the marginals of a diffusion process under a composite map consisting of a distribution and a quantile function. Sub-classes of quantile diffusions are explored, with emphasis placed on the Tukey family of models whereby skewness and kurtosis are directly parameterised and thus the composite map is explicable with respect to such statistical behaviours. As an example of an application of quantile diffusions, we show how probability measure distortions, a form of dynamic tilting, can be induced. Though particularly useful in financial mathematics and actuarial science, examples of which are given in this work, measure distortions feature across multiple research areas. For instance, dynamic distributional approximations (statistics), non-parametric and asymptotic analysis (mathematical statistics), dynamic risk measures (econometrics), behavioural economics, decision making (operations research), signal processing (information theory), and not least in general risk theory including applications thereof.

Seminars in Statistics at Collegio Carlo Alberto - Sahani PATHIRAJA (UNSW SYDNEY) and Quan ZHOU (TEXAS AMU)
by Matteo Giordano 08 Mar '25

08 Mar '25

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/s…> Venerdì 14/03/2025, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente doppio seminario: ------------------------------------------------ 11.00-12.00 Speaker: Sahani PATHIRAJA (UNSW SYDNEY) Title: ON CONNECTIONS BETWEEN SEQUENTIAL BAYESIAN INFERENCE AND EVOLUTIONARY DYNAMICS Abstract: It has long been posited that there is a connection between the dynamical equations describing birth-death & evolutionary processes in biology (so-called ``replicator-mutator’’ dynamics) and sequential Bayesian learning methods. This talk describes new research in which this precise connection is rigorously established in the continuous time setting. Here we focus on a class of interacting particle methods for solving the sequential Bayesian inference problem which are characterised by a McKean-Vlasov Stochastic differential equation. Of particular importance is a piecewise smooth approximation of the observation path from which the discrete time filtering equations are shown to converge to a Stratonovich interpretation of the Kushner equation. This smooth formulation will then be used to draw precise connections between nonlinear filtering and replicator-mutator dynamics. Additionally, gradient flow formulations will be investigated as well as a particular form of replicator-mutator dynamics which is shown to be beneficial for filtering with misspecified models. It is hoped this work will spur further research into exchanges between sequential learning and evolutionary biology and to inspire new algorithms in filtering and sampling. 12.00-13.00 Speaker: Quan ZHOU (TEXAS AMU) Title: GENERATIVE MODELING USING SOFT-CONSTRAINED SCHRODINGER BRIDGE Abstract: Schrodinger bridge can be viewed as a continuous-time stochastic control problem where the goal is to find an optimally controlled diffusion process whose terminal distribution coincides with a pre-specified target distribution. We propose to generalize this problem by allowing the terminal distribution to differ from the target but penalizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the two distributions. We call this new control problem soft-constrained Schrodinger bridge (SSB). The main contribution of this work is a theoretical derivation of the solution to SSB, which shows that the terminal distribution of the optimally controlled process is a geometric mixture of the target and some other distribution. This result is further extended to a time series setting. One application is the development of robust generative diffusion models. We propose a score matching-based algorithm for sampling from geometric mixtures and showcase its use via a numerical example for the MNIST data set. Joint work with J. Garg and X. Zhang. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile il seminario anche in streaming: chiunque volesse collegarsi è pregato di inviare una email entro *mercoledì 12/03/2025* a matteo.giordano(a)unito.it <mailto:matteo.giordano@unito.it> Il webinar è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats <http://www.carloalberto.org/stats>) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the upcoming StatPhys29 Satellite Conference: "Non-equilibrium statistical physics: mathematical and physical advances", Florence 21-25 July 2025: https://sites.google.com/view/nesp-2025 Research on non-equilibrium statistical physics has been developing rapidly and today represents a theme of growing interest worldwide. Fundamental ideas, methods and techniques have gradually made their way from statistical physics into probability theory and mathematical physics, where they lead to new problems and new solutions. This crossroad has developed into a very active research area over the past 10 years. In the proposed workshop the focus is on common concepts and tools and on the surprising new connections that have become available recently. Key topics that will be addressed at the conference are: (1) Non-equilibrium steady states of classical, quantum, and stochastic systems; (2) KPZ universality; (3) integrable quantum dynamics; (4) hydrodynamic limit and large deviations; (5) anomalous transport. The satellite meeting aims at gathering major experts in these fields, with the goal of exchanging ideas and setting the stage for further progress. Registration Details: This Satellite Conference is open to everybody. There is the possibility of a few contributed talks. • Deadline: April 30, 2025. • Please register via https://sites.google.com/view/nesp-2025 • There is no registration fee. Feel free to share this invitation with anyone who may be interested. Best regards, L. Avena, F. Colomo, C. Giardina', P. Goncalvez, F. Essler, T. Sasamoto, H. Spohn.

This classical approach is nevertheless challenged by empirical data for model validation, especially when the phenomenon of interest does not depend on well established physical laws. In particular the statistical inference of parameters (estimation and testing) requires a underlying stochastic model. This is usullay treated via some addition of noise, sometimes artificially and always a bit arbitrarily. Relying on some specific examples that appear in population biology (cell growth, human demography) or agent-based models in economy, we propose an alternative approach. Starting from a microscopic stochastic model that can be partially observed and for which the PDE of interest is a mean-field limit, the intrinsic statistical noise becomes the fluctuation between the empirical measure of the particle system and the solution of the PDE. We will outline a rigorous statistical program in this setting and will give some results on McKean-Vlasov models that shall emphasise the interest of our approach. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

Fwd: International Seminar on SDEs and Related Topics: Laurent Denis - March14
by Gianmario Tessitore - UNIMIB 06 Mar '25

06 Mar '25

Diffondo con piacere Mario ============================================================================ Dear Colleague, *on Friday, March 14,* (12:30 noon London, 1:30 pm Berlin, 2:30 pm Helsinki, 8:30 pm Beijing) in the *International Seminar on SDEs and Related Topics* in Zoom https://jyufi.zoom.us/j/61891007917 *Laurent Denis* (Université du Maine, France) will speak about */BSDE with singular terminal condition: the continuity up to terminal time problem/ * Abstract: We study the limit behavior of the solution of a backward stochastic differential equation when the terminal condition is singular, that is it can be equal to infinity with a positive probability. In the Markovian setting and in the case where the equation is driven by a Brownian motion, Malliavin's calculus enables us to prove continuity if a balance condition between the growth w.r.t. /y/ and the growth w.r.t. /z/ of the generator is satisfied. We apply our result to liquidity problem in finance and to the solution of some semi-linear partial differential equation ; the imposed assumption is also new in the literature on PDE. Finally, we prove that if there are jumps (i.e. the operator of the PDE is non local), we observe a propagation of the singularity, contrary to the continuous case (local operator). This talk is based on several joint works with D. Cacitti-Holland and A. Popier. References: Cacitti-Holland D., Denis L., Popier A. Continuity problem for BSDE and IPDE with singular terminal condition,/Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications/, Vol. 543, issue 1 (2025). Cacitti-Holland D., Denis L., Popier A. Growth condition on the generator of BSDE with singular terminal value ensuring continuity up to terminal time, to appear in /Stochastic Processes and their Applications/ (2025).

OWPS is back next week!
by Luisa Andreis 05 Mar '25

05 Mar '25

Dear colleagues, We are delighted to announce that the One World Probability Seminar is returning for the Spring 2025 semester with a refreshed schedule! The seminar will be held every other Wednesday at 14:00 UTC. The season will kick off on Wednesday, March 12 at 14:00 UTC via Zoom (link<https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92945513591?pwd=zjtRwpHoO9kRyQuPPj4o186jXrvg1v.1>). We are thrilled to welcome our first two speakers: Shankar Bhamidi (University of North Carolina) and David J. Aldous (UC Berkeley) Please find titles and abstracts of their talks below and on our website<https://www.owprobability.org/about>, which also contains future speakers for the semester. Originally launched during the early days of the pandemic to keep the probability community connected, our seminar has since hosted over 100 research talks from around the globe. It remains open to anyone eager to learn about the latest developments in probability theory. We encourage you to share this announcement as we embark on this new chapter. If you want updates on future OWP seminars, consider joining our mailing list: here<https://www.owprobability.org/mailing-list> the instructions. We look forward to seeing many of you online! Best wishes, Luisa Andreis and Roger Van Peski Aldous’s fringe convergence of random trees and its applications Shankar Bhamidi (UNC Chapel Hill) Local weak convergence starting with the work of Aldous and Benjamini and Schramm has turned out to be one of the standard work horses in modern probabilistic combinatorics, to understand asymptotics of large discrete random structures and dynamics of processes such as random walks on such processes. The goal of this talk is to describe the impact of one of the less well known “OG” (original great) papers in this area: Aldous’s work on fringe convergence of random trees developed in a paper in the mid 90s. This technique, coupled with stochastic approximation techniques allows one to relatively easily prove local weak convergence of a number of modern random tree models proposed by domain scientists, including network evolution with limited choice, network dynamics where new individuals have access to only a partial temporal snapshot of the network and network evolution models where individuals have different attributes. Obscure results and open problems: some of my favorites David J. Aldous (UC Berkeley) These are some problems that I would like some smart young person to work on! (1) What probability distributions on $[0,\infty)$ arise as the distance between two i.i.d. points in some complete separable metric space? (2) Probability distributions on routed planar networks. (3) Combinatorics of fringe trees in a phylogenetic model. (4) Nearest neighbor of nearest neighbor, on the complete network -- Are you smarter than an AI? (5) Find a qualitatively realistic model for a generic subway network. (6) Percolation of empires.

ABS25 (Applied Bayesian Statistics) summer school in Genova, Italy, 3-6/6/2025
by Elisa Varini 05 Mar '25

05 Mar '25

We are pleased to inform you that registration and fee payment are now possible for the next Applied Bayesian Statistics summer school - ABS25 to be held from 3 to 6 June 2025 in the beautiful historic city of Genova, overlooking the Ligurian Sea in Italy. Website: https://abs25.imati.cnr.it/ <https://abs25.imati.cnr.it/> The school is organized by CNR IMATI (Institute of Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies at the Italian National Research Council in Milano), in cooperation with the Department of Mathematics of the University of Genova. The topic will be SPATIO-TEMPORAL METHODS IN ENVIRONMENTAL EPIDEMIOLOGY The lecturer will be Prof. ALEXANDRA SCHMIDT (McGill University, Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health, Canada), with the support of Dr. CARLO ZACCARDI (University G. d'Annunzio Chieti-Pescara, Department of Economics, Italy). As in the past (since 2004), there will be a combination of theoretical and practical sessions, along with presentations by participants about their work (past, current and future) related to the topic of the school. OUTLINE: This course aims to explore the interface between environmental epidemiology (EE) and spatio-temporal modelling (ST). The aim of EE is to understand the adverse health effects of environmental hazards and to estimate the risks associated with those hazards. Such risks have traditionally been assessed either over time at a fixed point in space or over space at a fixed point in time. ST modelling characterizes the distribution of those hazards and associated risks over both geographical locations and time. Understanding variation and exploiting dependencies over both space and time greatly increases the power to assess those relationships. The course will cover a wide range of topics from an introduction to spatio-temporal and epidemiological principles along with the foundations of ST modeling, with specific focus on their application, to new directions for research. Topics to be covered: - Types of epidemiological studies: cohort, case–control, ecological - Measures of risk: relative risks, odds ratios, absolute risk, sources of bias, assessing uncertainty - Bayesian statistics and computational techniques: Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) - Regression models in epidemiology: Logistic and Poisson generalized linear models, hierarchical models - Dynamic linear models, temporal autocorrelation - Spatial models: area and point referenced methods, mapping, geostatistical methods, spatial regression - Spatial-temporal models: separable models, non-separable models, modelling exposures in space and time.

We invite you also to share the information with people potentially interested. Best regards Elisa Varini and Fabrizio Ruggeri Executive Director and Director of ABS25

Seminario Matteo Brachetta - Politecnico di Milano - 13 Marzo 2025
by Luca Scarpa 04 Mar '25

04 Mar '25

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Giovedì 13 Marzo 2025, ore 11:45. Aula Seminari VI Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Matteo Brachetta, Università di Genova. Title: Risk measures and optimal reinsurance: finding a connection via BSDEs. Abstract: The aim of this talk is to connect utiility maximization problems and the optimization of dynamic risk measures, which are usually considered as two different branches or approaches to financial problems. A reinsurance contract allows an insurance company to transfer part of the risk to another company, namely the reinsurer, in order to reduce the future losses, which are usually modeled as a marked point process. Finding the optimal reinsurance agreement translates into a stochastic control problem for the insurer. Recently, some authors showed that the optimal value process for the utility maximization problem can be characterized as the solution of a BSDE with jumps. In other works, it is proved that some BSDEs induce dynamic risk measures, which can be financially interpreted as a default time and an associated mark. In this talk we aim to explore the properties of the risk measure induced by the optimal reinsurance policy under dierent risk models with jumps. The talk is based on a work in progress with Fulvia Confortola (Politecnico of Milan).

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Giovedì 13 Marzo 2025, ore 11:00. Aula Seminari VI Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Elena Montanaro, Università La Sapienza. Title: An epidemic model using GW trees and coupon collectors. Abstract: We describe a model for information or viral transmission on the complete graph $\mathbb{K}_n$. Each node is an individual which may be susceptible, infected or recovered. This model has been introduced by Comets et al. with the main goal of studying the asymptotic behavior, as $n$ goes to infinity, of the duration of the infection and of the proportion of infected individuals in the population. The results rely on two interesting stochastic processes: the GW process and the coupon collector process.

Seminario PRISMA lunedì 3 marzo 2025 - G. Cannizzaro & F. Toninelli
by Sonia Mazzucchi 03 Mar '25

03 Mar '25

Buongiorno, ricordiamo che *oggi lunedì 3 marzo dalle 16:30 alle 17:45* si terrà il seminario on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA ( http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium" per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb I relatori di oggi saranno *Giuseppe Cannizzaro* (University of Warwick) e *Fabio Toninelli* (Technical University of Vienna) che parleranno di: Teorema del Limite Centrale superdiffusivo per l'equazione di Burgers stocastica alla dimensione critica. con il seguente orario: 16:30 Primo seminario 17:00 Pausa e discussione 17:15 Secondo seminario 17:45 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/81175434050?pwd=hCozT8gqnlu49Io6LawZWAwLDrnaJ7.1 Meeting ID: 811 7543 4050 Passcode: 871716 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Sonia Mazzucchi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Giuseppe Cannizzaro (University of Warwick) e Fabio Toninelli (Technical University of Vienna) TITOLO: Teorema del Limite Centrale superdiffusivo per l'equazione di Burgers stocastica alla dimensione critica RIASSUNTO: L'equazione di Burgers Stocastica (EBS) è stata introdotta da van Beijren, Kutner and Spohn per modellizzare sistemi diffusivi asimmetrici con una singola quantità conservata (e.g. il modello di esclusione semplice asimmetrico). Nella dimensione sub-critica d=1, EBS coincide con la derivata dell'equazione KPZ il cui comportamento a grandi scale è superdiffusivo con crescita polinomiale e le cui fluttuazioni coincidono con il KPZ Fixed Point, mentre nelle dimensioni super-critiche d>2, è diffusivo e converge a un'equazione del calore stocastica anisotropica. Alla dimensione critica, è stato congetturato che la EBS sia superdiffusiva con crescita logaritmica con un esponente preciso ma ciò è stato mostrato solo modulo correzioni di ordine inferiore. Il presente seminario è basato su un lavoro assieme a Quentin Moulard https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.00344, in cui indentifichiamo la superdiffusività e deriviamo le asintotiche della matrice di diffusione in modo esatto. Inoltre, dimostriamo che nel limite di scala corretto, ovvero che tiene presente della crescita logaritmiche alla diffusività, la soluzione di EBS soddisfa un teorema del limite centrale. Il nostro è il primo limite di scala superdiffusivo per un'equazione alle derivate parziali stocastica critica, al di là dell'ambito di applicabilità della teoria delle strutture di regolarità di Hairer. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Seminario Padova - Marc Hoffman
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 01 Mar '25

01 Mar '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (7 Marzo) in aula 2BC30 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Marc Hoffman (Université Paris-Dauphine) <https://www.ceremade.dauphine.fr/~hoffmann/> https://www.ceremade.dauphine.fr/~hoffmann/ Title: Some questions in mathematical statistics linked to evolution PDEs Date: March 7, 2025, at 14:30, room 2BC30 Abstract: Evolution models in applications are often analysed via PDEs, interpreted as a macroscopic decription of the phenomenon of interest. This classical approach is nevertheless challenged by empirical data for model validation, especially when the phenomenon of interest does not depend on well established physical laws. In particular the statistical inference of parameters (estimation and testing) requires a underlying stochastic model. This is usullay treated via some addition of noise, sometimes artificially and always a bit arbitrarily. Relying on some specific examples that appear in population biology (cell growth, human demography) or agent-based models in economy, we propose an alternative approach. Starting from a microscopic stochastic model that can be partially observed and for which the PDE of interest is a mean-field limit, the intrinsic statistical noise becomes the fluctuation between the empirical measure of the particle system and the solution of the PDE. We will outline a rigorous statistical program in this setting and will give some results on McKean-Vlasov models that shall emphasise the interest of our approach. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

Ait-Sahalia seminar in Verona, 14/3/2025
by Cecilia Mancini 28 Feb '25

28 Feb '25

Professor Yacine Ait-Sahalia will give the seminar So Many Jumps, So Little News At the Department of Economics of the University of Verona, on Friday, March 14, 2025, at noon (12 pm) Via Cantarane 24, Vaona Room, 1st floor It will be possible also to attend on Zoom here https://univr.zoom.us/j/93150650381 All the interested people are warmly invited to attend Abstract This paper relates jumps in high frequency stock prices to firm-level, industry and macroeconomic news, in the form of machine-readable releases from Thomson Reuters News Analytics. We find that most relevant news, both idiosyncratic and systematic, lead quickly to price jumps, as market efficiency suggests they should. However, in the reverse direction, the vast majority of price jumps do not have identifiable public news that can explain them, in a departure from the ideal of a fair, orderly and efficient market. We show that jumps without news do not correlate with observable proxies for asymmetric or private information, and that microstructure-driven variables have only limited power to help predict the occurrence of jumps without news.

Seminar Brunero Liseo @Luiss
by Alessia Caponera 28 Feb '25

28 Feb '25

Dear all, The Department of Economics and Finance at Luiss University in Rome (*https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it <https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/>*) is pleased to announce the following seminar: *Speaker*: Brunero Liseo, Sapienza University of Rome *Title*: A Multivariate Copula-Based Conformal Bayesian Framework for Doping Detection *When*: March 6th, 14:30 *Where*: Viale Romania, 32 00197 Rome *Meeting room*: 405 *Abstract*: Doping control is an essential component of anti-doping organizations for protecting sports competitions. Since 2009, this mission has been complemented worldwide by the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP), which monitors athletes’ profiles over time. The practical implementation of the ABP is based on a Bayesian framework, called ADAPTIVE, intended to identify individual reference ranges outside of which an observation may indicate doping abuse. Currently, this method follows a univariate approach, relying on simultaneous analysis of different markers. This work extends the ADAPTIVE method to a multivariate testing framework, making use of copula models to couple the marginal distribution of biomarkers with their dependence structure. After introducing the proposed copula-based hierarchical model, we discuss our approach to inference, grounded in a Bayesian spirit, and present an extension to multidimensional predictive reference regions. We guarantee exact coverage of the regions through the use of a conformal prediction approach. Focusing on the hematological module of the ABP, we evaluate the proposed framework in both data-driven simulations and real data. Based on joint work with Nina Deliu. *Webpage*: https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/research-seminar/a-multivariate-copula-ba… *Should you be interested, please kindly send me an e-mail.* Best wishes, Alessia Caponera

seminar Irene Gijbels @ CNR Naples
by Daniela De Canditiis 27 Feb '25

27 Feb '25

Cari tutti per il ciclo *"Seminari Generali IAC 2025"* *martedì 4 marzo 2025 *alle ore *14:30* Irène Gijbels, Department of Mathematics, University of Leuven (KU Leuven), Belgium, terrà il seminario: *Measures of asymmetry for multivariate distributions* *Abstract* - In univariate settings the notion of measuring skewness of a distribution is well established. Extending this to measuring skewness (or asymmetry) in a multivariate setting is less obvious. In this talk we start by briefly reviewing some notions of asymmetry measures. We next propose a novel functional asymmetry measure (index) which is based on the natural idea of reflective symmetry around the mode. The proposed index is extended to the multivariate setting and a summarizing scalar (or vector based index in multivariate settings) is derived from it. Some illustrative examples are provided, and estimation of the proposed asymmetry index is discussed in parametric and nonparametric (multivariate) settings. Il seminario si svolgerà presso la sede *CNR-IAC di Napoli*, *sala conferenze “Vaccaro”*, in modalità mista: in presenza e in streaming al link *https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEPimm1_aww <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEPimm1_aww>* Si ricorda che i seminari del ciclo si terranno di *martedì alle 14:30*, *a settimane alterne*, *salvo eccezioni* a partire da martedì 14 gennaio 2025. *Qui la pagina web dei seminari*: *https://www.iac.cnr.it/seminari-generali-iac-2025* <https://www.iac.cnr.it/seminari-generali-iac-2025> *VI ASPETTIAMO!* (organizzatori: Nicola Apollonio, Roberta Bianchini, Claudia Capone, Giuliana Ramella) -- Daniela De Canditiis, PhD Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo "M.Picone" (CNR) via dei Taurini, 19 -- 00185 Roma, Italy tel: +39 06 49937342 fax: +39 06 4404306 https://www.iac.cnr.it/personale/daniela-de-canditiis

QFinLab Seminar - Katia Colaneri (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) - 5/3/2025, 12:00 @ Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandro Calvia 26 Feb '25

26 Feb '25

Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Wednesday, 5 March 2025, 12.00-13.00 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus) Katia Colaneri (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) Title: Expect the worst! Optimal emission abatement under tax policy uncertainty and stochastic differential games. Abstract: We study the problem of a profit maximizing electricity producer who has to pay carbon taxes and who decides on investments into technologies for the abatement of CO emissions in an environment where carbon tax policy is random and where the investment in the abatement technology is divisible, irreversible and subject to transaction costs. We consider two approaches for modelling the randomness in taxes. First we assume a precise probabilistic model for the tax process, namely a pure jump Markov process (so-called tax risk); this leads to a stochastic control problem for the investment strategy. Second, we analyze the case of an uncertainty-averse producer who uses a differential game to decide on optimal production and investment. We carry out a rigorous mathematical analysis of the producer's optimization problem and of the associated nonlinear PDEs in both cases. Numerical methods are used to study quantitative properties of the optimal investment strategy. We find that in the tax risk case the investment in abatement technologies is typically lower than in a benchmark scenario with deterministic taxes. However, there are a couple of interesting new twists related to production technology, divisibility of the investment, tax rebates and investor expectations. In the stochastic differential game on the other hand an increase in uncertainty might stipulate more investment. Next seminar: Claudio Fontana (Università di Padova), 2 April 12.00.

Special issue of "Mathematical Finance" on "Climate and Nature Risk in Mathematical Finance" (fwd)
by Tiziano Vargiolu 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

Apologies for cross-postings. ----------------------- Special Issue on Climate and Nature Risk in Mathematical Finance Guest Editors: Andrea Macrina & Peter Tankov New extended deadline for submissions: 30 April 2025 The urgency and complexity of the climate crisis call for contributions from many scientific domains. In finance, modelling challenges posed by the environmental transition and by the climate change and nature-related risks call for inter- and transdisciplinary approaches, based on a multitude of data sources and long-term projections taking into account deep uncertainty. The mathematical finance community, which has developed robust systematic approaches to financial modelling and risk management, is well placed to address these challenges and has already made numerous quantitative contributions to the field of green finance. Mathematical Finance will dedicate a Special Issue to Mathematical Finance for Climate and Nature to further emphasise this area of research. Submissions to the Special Issue should develop and apply novel mathematical and statistical methods to financial and economic problems arising in the field of green finance and meet the editorial standards of Mathematical Finance as detailed in the aims and scope statement of the journal. Submissions with a policy or industry perspective are encouraged. We invite in particular the submission of original research articles on the following topics: * Assessment of climate and nature-related risks and uncertainties in financial systems; climate stress testing. * Study of transmission channels of physical risks, transition risk and nature-related risks to asset prices, portfolios and the stability of the financial system. * Optimal policies and incentives for environmental transition and adaptation of the economy, from the central planner perspective and in decentralised systems. * Optimal design and study of financial and insurance products, including derivative products, for managing climate and nature-related risks and for financing the environmental transition and adaptation. * Design and study of transition scenarios; quantification of scenario uncertainty * Net zero investment: quantitative methodologies for constructing net-zero-aligned portfolios and portfolios with positive impact on nature and biodiversity. * Study of innovative datasets and numerical methods, including AI-based methods, in support of the above topics. * Design of medium and long-term risk management methods accounting for potential policy changes and systemic alterations of market structures and stability. * Impact of climate and nature risks on emerging markets and developing economies. Please submit your contributions through the journal’s web submission portal before 30 April 2025. Please indicate in your submission that it is intended for the ‘Special Issue on Climate and Nature Risk in Mathematical Finance’. All submissions will undergo the usual review process for the journal. -- Peter Tankov Professor of quantitative finance, ENSAE, IP Paris Phone: +33 1 70 26 68 73 Email: peter.tankov(a)ensae.fr https://sites.google.com/site/petertankov https://www.parc-research.org/ https://pladifes.institutlouisbachelier.org/

Seminar Ziyi Song @ Unimib
by Federico Camerlenghi 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

Dear all, we are glad to announce the next DEMS seminar in Statistics: *Wednesday, 5th March 2025* *Time 12.00*, Seminar room 2104, Department of Economics, Management and Statistics (DEMS) Building U7, second floor, University of Milano - Bicocca The speaker is Ziyi Song (University of California, Irvine). *TITLE:* Clustering computer-mouse tracking data with informed hierarchical shrinkage partition priors *ABSTRACT:* Mouse-tracking data, which record computer mouse trajectories while participants perform an experimental task, provide valuable insights into subjects’ underlying cognitive processes. Neuroscientists are interested in clustering the subjects’ responses during computer mouse-tracking tasks to reveal patterns of individual decision-making behaviors and identify population subgroups with similar neurobehavioral responses.These data can be combined with neuroimaging data to provide additional information for personalized interventions. In this article, we develop a novel hierarchical shrinkage partition (HSP) prior for clustering summary statistics derived from the trajectories of mouse-tracking data. The HSP model defines a subjects’ cluster as a set of subjects that gives rise to more similar (rather than identical) nested partitions of the conditions. The proposed model can incorporate prior information about the partitioning of either subjects or conditions to facilitate clustering, and it allows for deviations of the nested partitions within each subject group. These features distinguish the HSP model from other bi-clustering methods that typically create identical nested partitions of conditions within a subject group. Furthermore, it differs from existing nested clustering methods, which define clusters based on common parameters in the sampling model and identify subject groups by different distributions. We illustrate the unique features of the HSP model on a mouse tracking dataset from a pilot study and in simulation studies. Our results show the ability and effectiveness of the proposed exploratory framework in clustering and revealing possible different behavioral patterns across subject groups. The paper has been published on Biometrics. <https://academic.oup.com/biometrics/article/80/4/ujae124/7850951?login=true> Best wishes, Federico Camerlenghi

Abstract: Simulation-based inference (SBI) is the preferred framework for estimating parameters of intractable models in science and engineering. A significant challenge in this context is the large computational cost of simulating data from complex models, and the fact that this cost often depends on parameter values. We therefore propose cost-aware SBI methods which can significantly reduce the cost of existing sampling-based SBI methods, such as neural SBI and approximate Bayesian computation. This is achieved through a combination of rejection and self-normalised importance sampling, which significantly reduces the number of expensive simulations needed. Our approach is studied extensively on models from epidemiology to telecommunications engineering, where we obtain significant reductions in the overall cost of inference. Keywords: simulation-based inference, approximate Bayesian computation, neural posterior estimation, neural likelihood estimation, importance sampling Best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the OWABI Organisers ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Reader and WIHEA Fellow Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino

24th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CREDIT 2025 *Emerging Global Financial Systems: Exploring Polarization, Systemic Risks, Innovation, and Sustainable Solutions *Venice, Italy 25 –26 September 2025 * * *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy),*European Datawarehouse* (Frankfurt, Germany), and *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are partners in organasing a Conference to be held in Venice on September 25-26, 2025. The CREDIT 2025 conference will bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in various areas of financial and socio-economic risk with the aim of creating a unique opportunity for participants to discuss research progress and policy as well as industry-relevant insights and directions for future research. The CREDIT 2025 is the *twenty-fourth* in a series of events dedicated to various aspects of risk and organised under the auspices of: the *Department of Economics* and *VERA - Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies* - of the *Ca’ Foscari University of Venice*, *Joint Research Center European Commission*, and *ABI - Italian Banking Association*. Sustainability necessitates a global perspective, requiring the adaptation of contemporary business and societal models to navigate the dynamic landscape of the future. Policymakers and society must ensure that resources, particularly technology, are utilized responsibly and efficiently to enhance the well-being of both present and future generations while cultivating a harmonious relationship with the environment. This strategy is vital in addressing sustainability issues such as poverty, environmental degradation, pollution, and inequality. Effective global risk management is vital for bridging divisions and fragmentation through innovation. The organizers encourage submissions on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: *Framing Global Challenges* * Macroeconomic Polarization and Financial Fragmentation o Economic bifurcation between advanced and emerging markets. o Trade conflicts and their financial spillovers. o Policy responses to maintain global economic stability. * Geopolitical Risks and Global Financial Stability o Implications of geopolitical tensions on global financial markets: capital flows and volatility. o Risk management strategies for financial institutions navigating geopolitical uncertainty. o The role of national and international economic policies: shaping a new geopolitical and economic order. * Technological Innovation in Finance and Insurance o Digital transformation in the insurance sector: a driver of resilience or disruption? o Financing Deep Tech. o Regulating innovation to balance opportunity and risk. *Risk Management and Resilience* * Climate Change as a Systemic Risk o Impact of climate-induced events on financial and insurance markets. o Climate risk modeling and its implications for global governance. o Financing the green transition: opportunities for insurers and institutional investors. * Addressing Socioeconomic Disparities o Polarization in wealth distribution and its implications for insurance coverage. o Designing inclusive financial products to address underinsurance in vulnerable populations. o The role of insurance in enhancing societal resilience to systemic shocks. *Towards a Sustainable Future* * Innovating Governance for Future Risks o Cross-border cooperation for risk regulation and mitigation. o Addressing new risks in cyber security, health crises, and technological disruptions. o Innovative governance models in finance and insurance. The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Andrew Lo *(MIT Sloan School of Management).

[CfP] - International Workshop on Trustworthiness and Reliability in Neurosymbolic AI - IJCNN2025
by Lorenzo Di Rocco 21 Feb '25

21 Feb '25

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Call for Papers - International Workshop on Trustworthiness and Reliability in Neurosymbolic AI @ IJCNN2025 July 5th, 2025, Rome, Italy https://sites.google.com/view/trns-ai ABOUT Neurosymbolic AI is a new growing trend that has been able to merge the recent advances in AI through deep learning with logic and rule-based methods. The application of neurosymbolic AI seems to be spreading across many contexts, from image classification to Visual Question Answering. It has an expressive and semantic power that is not usually provided by classical deep learning. In addition, it has great potential in explainability, due to the logic-based methodologies that are a strong component of this context. These capabilities are only a starting point in XAI, they need to be explored in detail to facilitate the interpretability of whole models, in any part of them and not only in terms of the natural relationships that can be discovered. This workshop will focus on two main aspects: 1. Gives the possibility to extend the exploration of the explainability in multiple contexts, developing and adapting techniques that can be useful to relate classical deep learning approaches to their symbolic extensions. 2. Opens to the possibility to extend the understanding of neurosymbolic models to deep aspects of AI. These two concepts lead to the trustworthiness and reliability of the new trend of Neurosymbolic AI, increasing the confidence of end-users in choosing and believing in these methodologies for computer-aided applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Soft Computing methodologies * Symbolic and Neurosymbolic AI * Logic and Rule-based methods * AI methods for explainability, interpretrability and reliability * Resilient AI models * From wide to task-specific methodologies * Machine Learning and Deep Learning based AI methodologies * Data-driven decision-making * Multimodal Learning strategies * Scalability and optimization of intelligent systems * Generative AI and applications GREAT EVENT! XAI CHALLENGE FOR PASSIONATE! The workshop is growing fast and organizers are happy to announce that a challenge has been launched for all passionate students and researchers! The topic is Explainable AI for Educational Question-Answering. All details can be found in the website challenge page. IMPORTANT DATES - Submission due: March 20, 2025 - Notification to authors: April 15, 2025 - Camera-ready and early registration due: May 1st, 2025 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submissions must follow the IJCNN2025 rules (https://2025.ijcnn.org/authors/initial-author-instructions) Authors are invited to submit: - Full papers, up to 8 pages - Short papers, up to 4 pages Short papers may also be presented in the poster session.

Ph.D. Mini-Course@Sapienza | An introduction to changepoint detection
by Pierpaolo Brutti 21 Feb '25

21 Feb '25

Dear all, apologies for cross-posting. Quick note on an upcoming PhD course course on multiple changepoint analysis that will take place next week @Sapienza-DIAG (Rome, Via Ariosto 25). Here's the details: *Schedule*: 1. 24 Feb: 10:00-12:00 | Aula B203 @ DIAG 24 Feb: 13:45-17:00 | Aula B101 @ DIAG 2. 25 Feb: 9:30-12:00 | Aula B203 @ DIAG 25 Feb: 13:45-17:00 | Aula B203 @ DIAG 3. 26 Feb: 9:30-12:00 | Aula B203 @ DIAG 26 Feb: 13:45-17:00 | Aula B203 @ DIAG 4. 27 Feb: 9:30-11:30 | Aula B203 @ DIAG *Zoom links*: - AM: https://inrae-fr.zoom.us/j/96946255684?pwd=Gm04CV5Dw8AZ2bdcRbHHreG9hHaakH.1 - PM: https://inrae-fr.zoom.us/j/92052483887?pwd=4tuFd0TS6HAxIgYLMRmIkaYPm55LgF.1 *Abstract* In recent years, there has been a proliferation of methods for detecting changepoints (also known as breakpoints or structural breaks) in data streams. This surge has been driven by the wide range of applications where changepoint methods are needed, including genomics, neuroscience, climate science, finance, and econometrics, among others. This course serves as an introduction to multiple changepoint detection methods. This course will first address the simpler task of detecting a single changepoint in the mean of a univariate data stream. This is crucial for understanding several state-of-the-art approaches designed for detecting multiple changepoints. Subsequently, we will delve into the fundamentals of two classical approaches for multiple changepoint detection: (1) binary segmentation and (2) dynamic programming. We will review their statistical and computational properties and explain some of their recent improvements. We will illustrate the application of these approaches to genomic datasets using the Python/R programming language. *Additional teacher* Arnaud Liehrmann *Short-bio * Guillem Rigaill is a senior researcher (aka DR) at INRAE in France. He is a member of the GNet Team at the Institute of Plant Sciences Paris-Saclay and the Stat & Genome team at the Laboratoire de Mathématiques et Modélisation d'Évry. He received his PhD from AgroParisTech in 2010 for the development of algorithms and statistical methods for the analysis of breast cancer data. His research interests focus on developing efficient algorithms and appropriate statistical methodologies for analyzing high-dimensional genomic and transcriptomic data. He has been developing new models for changepoint detection and proposed inference procedures for these models that are both statistically and algorithmically efficient. He has applied those new tools in many interdisciplinary projects involving cancer and plant biologists, bioinformaticians, and statisticians. Data Science PhD Program

Seminario PRISMA lunedì 3 marzo 2025 - G. Cannizzaro & F. Toninelli
by Alberto Chiarini 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium" per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Da quest'anno le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb Il prossimo appuntamento è per lunedì 3 marzo 2025. I relatori saranno Giuseppe Cannizzaro (University of Warwick) e Fabio Toninelli (Technical University of Vienna) che parleranno di: Teorema del Limite Centrale superdiffusivo per l'equazione di Burgers stocastica alla dimensione critica. con il seguente orario: 16:30 Primo seminario 17:00 Pausa e discussione 17:15 Secondo seminario 17:45 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/81175434050?pwd=hCozT8gqnlu49Io6LawZWAwLDrnaJ7.1 Meeting ID: 811 7543 4050 Passcode: 871716 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Sonia Mazzucchi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Giuseppe Cannizzaro (University of Warwick) e Fabio Toninelli (Technical University of Vienna) TITOLO: Teorema del Limite Centrale superdiffusivo per l'equazione di Burgers stocastica alla dimensione critica RIASSUNTO: L'equazione di Burgers Stocastica (EBS) è stata introdotta da van Beijren, Kutner and Spohn per modellizzare sistemi diffusivi asimmetrici con una singola quantità conservata (e.g. il modello di esclusione semplice asimmetrico). Nella dimensione sub-critica d=1, EBS coincide con la derivata dell'equazione KPZ il cui comportamento a grandi scale è superdiffusivo con crescita polinomiale e le cui fluttuazioni coincidono con il KPZ Fixed Point, mentre nelle dimensioni super-critiche d>2, è diffusivo e converge a un'equazione del calore stocastica anisotropica. Alla dimensione critica, è stato congetturato che la EBS sia superdiffusiva con crescita logaritmica con un esponente preciso ma ciò è stato mostrato solo modulo correzioni di ordine inferiore. Il presente seminario è basato su un lavoro assieme a Quentin Moulard https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.00344, in cui indentifichiamo la superdiffusività e deriviamo le asintotiche della matrice di diffusione in modo esatto. Inoltre, dimostriamo che nel limite di scala corretto, ovvero che tiene presente della crescita logaritmiche alla diffusività, la soluzione di EBS soddisfa un teorema del limite centrale. Il nostro è il primo limite di scala superdiffusivo per un'equazione alle derivate parziali stocastica critica, al di là dell'ambito di applicabilità della teoria delle strutture di regolarità di Hairer. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Seminari Padova - Claudio Macci e Jonathan Tam
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 14 Feb '25

14 Feb '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (21 Febbraio) in aula 1BC45 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci saranno due seminari per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: 1. Claudio Macci (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) <https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~macci/> https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~macci/ Title: Large and moderate deviations for Gaussian neural networks Date: February 21, 2025, at 14:30, room 1BC45 Abstract: We prove large and moderate deviations for the output of Gaussian fully connected neural networks. The main achievements concern deep neural networks (i.e., when the model has more than one hidden layer) and hold for bounded and continuous pre-activation functions. However, for deep neural networks fed by a single input, we have results even if the pre-activation is ReLU. When the network is shallow (i.e., there is exactly one hidden layer) the large and moderate principles hold for quite general pre-activations and in an infinite-dimensional setting. Joint work with Barbara Pacchiarotti (Università di Roma Tor Vergata) and Giovanni Luca Torrisi (IAC-CNR). 2. Jonathan Tam (Università di Verona) <https://sites.google.com/view/jonathanyytam/home> https://sites.google.com/view/jonathanyytam/home Title: Extended mean-field control: a finite-dimensional numerical approximation Date: February 21, 2025, at 15:30, room 1BC45 Abstract: We present a finite-dimensional numerical approximation for a class of extended mean field control problems. Our algorithm learns the value function on the whole Wasserstein domain, as opposed to a fixed initial condition. We leverage the approximation of the mean field problem by a finite-player cooperative optimization problem, due to the propagation of chaos, together with the usage of finite-dimensional solvers. This avoids the need to directly approximate functions on an infinite-dimensional domain, and allows for more efficient memory usage and faster computation times. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

Seminars in Statistics at Collegio Carlo Alberto - Nial Friel (University College Dublin)
by Matteo Giordano 14 Feb '25

14 Feb '25

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/s…> Venerdì 21/02/2025, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ 12.00-13.00 Speaker: Nial Friel (University College Dublin) Title: The clustered Mallows model Abstract: Rankings represent preferences that arise from situations where assessors arrange items, for example, in decreasing order of utility. Orderings of the item set are permutations that reflect strict preferences. However, strict preference relations can be unrealistic for real data. In large item sets, assessors might prioritise certain items, rank others low, and express indifference towards the remaining. Rank aggregation may involve decisive judgments in some parts and ambiguity in others. In this talk, we extend the famous Mallows (Mallows, 1957) model (MM) to accommodate item indifference. Grouping similar items motivates the proposed Clustered Mallows Model (CMM), a MM counterpart for tied ranks with ties learned from the data. The CMM provides the flexibility to combine strictness and indifferences, describing rank collections as ordered clusters. Bayesian inference for the CMM is a doubly-intractable problem since the normalised model is unavailable. We overcome this with a version of the exchange algorithm (Murray et al.,2006) and provide a pseudo-likelihood approximation as a computationally cheaper alternative. Analysis of two real-world ranking datasets is presented, showcasing the practical application of the CMM and highlighting scenarios where it offers advantages over alternative models. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile il seminario anche in streaming: chiunque volesse collegarsi è pregato di inviare una email entro *mercoledì 19/02/2025 * a matteo.giordano(a)unito.it <mailto:matteo.giordano@unito.it> Il webinar è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats <http://www.carloalberto.org/stats>) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto.

We are pleased to announce the PhD course "Mathematical Climate Finance", held by Prof. Andrea Macrina (Department of Mathematics, University College London) The course is organized by the Doctoral Program in Mathematical Sciences, under the framework "Shaping a World-Class University" of the University of Padova --------------------- Outline This is an introduction to mathematical climate finance by in-depth treatment of some of the recent advances in this burgeoning field of research in financial mathematics. The focus will be on climate transition risk that, together with physical risk, is a major source of climate change risk impacting economies and financial markets. The mathematics, especially the formulation and modelling aspects, on which climate finance is based, is at the core of this course. The aim is thus the study and development of climate finance anchored in financial mathematics. Mathematical climate finance is an active area of research, and this course aims at keeping up- to-date with new insights and ongoing research progress in academia and the industry.

OWABI - Ayush Bharti - Feb 27
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 13 Feb '25

13 Feb '25

Dear all, the next OWABI seminar<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc> is scheduled on Thursday the 27th February at 11am. I am pleased to inform you that our next speaker is Ayush Bharti (Aalto University), who will talk about "Cost-aware simulation-based inference ", with an abstract reported below. The talk will be streamed on MS Teams on the OWABI Ms Teams channel OWABI Seminar: One World Approximate Bayesian Inference Seminar | General | Microsoft Teams<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3AdhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KShEETkd_w…> You could join the meeting with the link and details below Join the meeting now<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3adhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KSh…> Meeting ID: 311 178 293 223 Passcode: zg3E8kw3 Important: The virtual lobby has been removed, so everyone should now be able to join the seminar without any authorisation. Abstract: Simulation-based inference (SBI) is the preferred framework for estimating parameters of intractable models in science and engineering. A significant challenge in this context is the large computational cost of simulating data from complex models, and the fact that this cost often depends on parameter values. We therefore propose cost-aware SBI methods which can significantly reduce the cost of existing sampling-based SBI methods, such as neural SBI and approximate Bayesian computation. This is achieved through a combination of rejection and self-normalised importance sampling, which significantly reduces the number of expensive simulations needed. Our approach is studied extensively on models from epidemiology to telecommunications engineering, where we obtain significant reductions in the overall cost of inference. Keywords: simulation-based inference, approximate Bayesian computation, neural posterior estimation, neural likelihood estimation, importance sampling Best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the OWABI Organisers ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Reader (Associate Professor) and WIHEA Fellow Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino

QFinLab Seminar - Marzia De Donno (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore) - 19/2/2025, 12:15 @ Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandro Calvia 13 Feb '25

13 Feb '25

Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Wednesday, 19 February 2025, 12.15-13.15 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus) Marzia De Donno (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore) Title: Short rate models with stochastic discontinuities: a PDE approach. Abstract: With the recent reform of interest rate benchmarks, interbank offered rates (IBORs) like LIBOR have been replaced by risk-free rates (RFRs), such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) in the U.S. and the Euro Short-Term Rate (€STR) in Europe. These rates exhibit characteristics like jumps and spikes that correspond to specific market events, driven by regulatory and liquidity constraints. To capture these characteristics, this paper considers a general short-rate model that incorporates discontinuities at fixed times with random sizes. Within this framework, we introduce a PDE-based approach for pricing interest rate derivatives. For affine models, we derive (quasi) closed-form solutions, while for the general case, we develop numerical methods to solve the resulting PDEs. (Joint work with A. Calvia, C. Guardasoni, S. Sanfelici). Next seminar: Katia Colaneri (Università di Roma Tor Vergata), 5 March 12.00. All news can be found on the QFinLab webpage<https://www.qfinlab.polimi.it/seminars-and-meetings/>.

Seminario Jacopo Borga, Martedì 11 Febbraio, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Silvestri, Vittoria 11 Feb '25

11 Feb '25

Segnalo il seguente seminario, che si terrà Martedì prossimo in Sapienza. *Martedì 11 Febbraio, ore 14:00,* Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker:* Jacopo Borga (MIT) *Title: *Lattice Yang-Mills theory in the large N limit via sums over surfaces *Abstract:* Lattice Yang-Mills theories are important models in particle physics. They are defined on the d-dimensional lattice Z^d using a group of matrices of dimension N, and Wilson loop expectations are the fundamental observables of these theories. Recently, Cao, Park, and Sheffield showed that Wilson loop expectations can be expressed as sums over certain embedded bipartite maps of any genus. Building on this novel approach, we prove in the so-called strongly coupled regime: - A rigorous formula in terms of embedded bipartite planar maps of Wilson loop expectations in the large N limit, in any dimension d. - An exact computation of Wilson loop expectations in the large N limit, in dimension d=2, for a large family of (simple and non-simple) loops. Previous results to the two aforementioned points were previously established by Chatterjee (2019) and Basu & Ganguly (2016), respectively. Our results extend these previous results, offer simpler proofs and provide a new perspective on these significant quantities. This work is a collaboration with Sky Cao and Jasper Shogren-Knaak. ******************************** Vittoria Silvestri Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome ********************************

SPASS Seminar: Olga Ariasova

10 Feb '25

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Homogenization of a multivariate diffusion with semipermeable reflecting interfaces* by Olga Ariasova (Inst. Geophys. Nat. Acad. Sciences of Ukraine, F. Schiller Univ. of Jena) The seminar will take place tomorrow TUE, 11.2.2025 at 14:00 CET in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass *---------------------------------------------------------* *Abstract: * The mathematical problem of homogenization typically involves studying the effective parameters of a system that exhibits rapid variations in its spatial characteristics. However, we focus on a stochastic multivariate homogenization problem of a different kind: the diffusion in the presence of narrowly located semipermeable interfaces. In simple words, our model reminds of a foiled composite material consisting of a media interlaced with very thin plates of different permeability. In material science such models are referred to as reinforced materials like a glass wool reinforced by aluminium foil. Usually, one is interested in the effective parameters of such a system. By combining the study of stochastic differential equations with local times and homogenization, we explore how the presence of interfaces can alter the diffusion behavior of the limit process. As a byproduct of our research, we obtain theorems for the existence and uniqueness of solutions to SDEs for multidimensional diffusion processes with membranes. Uniqueness is a problem of particular interest because it implies the strong Markov property of the solution, which is essential for the proof of convergence.

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/s…> Venerdì 14/02/2025, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ 12.00-13.00 Speaker: Yufei ZHANG (IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON) Title: Towards sample-efficient continuous-time reinforcement learning Abstract: Recently, reinforcement learning (RL) has garnered significant research interest. However, much of this attention and success has been focused on the discrete-time setting. RL for continuous-time systems, despite its natural applicability to a wide range of control tasks in physical systems, remains largely unexplored with limited progress. In particular, characterizing the sample efficiency of continuous-time RL algorithms continues to be a challenging and open problem. In this talk, we introduce a principled framework for systematically analyzing regret bounds for continuous-time RL algorithms in episodic model-based settings. Our framework decomposes the regret analysis into two fundamental components: the finite-sample accuracy of model estimation and the performance gap of a greedy policy derived from the estimated models. The finite-sample accuracy is analyzed using filtering theory and concentration inequalities for correlated observations, while the performance gap is quantified by leveraging the robustness of the control problem. By integrating these insights, we optimize the exploration-exploitation trade-off, achieving the best-known sample complexity in the current literature. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile il seminario anche in streaming: chiunque volesse collegarsi è pregato di inviare una email entro *mercoledì 12/02/2025* a matteo.giordano(a)unito.it <mailto:matteo.giordano@unito.it>.

Seminario Raphael Huser presso Politecnico di Milano
by Laura Maria Sangalli 06 Feb '25

06 Feb '25

Si avvisa che in data 10-02-2025, alle ore 14:30 presso il Politecnico di Milano, Edificio 16B (Via Bonardi 9), in Aula 16B.0.1 (piano terra), nell’ambito delle attività del MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Raphael Huser, KAUST - King Abdullah University of Science and Technology Titolo: Neural Inference Methods for Spatial Extremes in High Dimensions Abstract: Neural Bayes estimators are neural networks that approximate Bayes estimators. They are thus likelihood-free, extremely fast to evaluate, and amenable to rapid uncertainty quantification, while also (approximately) inheriting the appealing large-sample properties of Bayes estimators. Neural Bayes estimators are therefore ideal to use with spatial extremes models observed in high dimensions, where estimation is often a computational bottleneck. In this seminar, I will summarize our research progress in that area and explain how, for any spatial model that can be simulated from, a single neural Bayes estimator can be trained to make fast inference with new data that involve varying sample sizes, varying spatial configurations of observed locations, and varying censoring levels used in peaks-over-threshold modeling. This methodology will be illustrated by application to sea surface temperature extremes over the Red Sea, and air pollution extremes over the whole Arabic peninsula. Joint work with Jordan Richards, Matthew Sainsbury-Dale, and Andrew Zammit-Mangion. This initiative is part of the “Ph.D. Lectures” activity of the project "Departments of Excellence 2023-2027" of the Department of Mathematics of Politecnico di Milano.

Double seminar: Alexandre Stauffer & Jacopo Borga at Tor Vergata 10.02
by Michele Salvi 05 Feb '25

05 Feb '25

Dear all, On Monday, February 10th, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo of Tor Vergata Math Department, RoMaDS <https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php> will host a double seminar by Alexandre Stauffer (King's College London) and Jacopo Borga (MIT). See below for titles and abstracts. We encourage in-person partecipation. Should you be unable to come, here is the link to the Teams streaming: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3arfsL73KX-fw86y1YnXq2nk5VnZFw…"Tid"%3a"24c5be2a-d764-40c5-9975-82d08ae47d0e"%2c"Oid"%3a"650fc4a8-4cec-4bd2-87bc-90d134074fe6"} <https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3arfsL73KX-fw86y1YnXq2nk5VnZFw…> The seminars are part of the Excellence Project MatMod@TOV. TALK 1 Alexandre Stauffer (King's College London) “Non-monotone phase transition in interacting particle systems” In this talk we will discuss a reaction-diffusion particle system which has a non-monotone phase transition. I will explain the techniques used to analyze monotone models and how they can be refined to analyze non-monotone particle systems. Based on upcoming works with Leandro Chiarini and Tom Finn. TALK 2 Jacopo Borga (MIT) “Lattice Yang-Mills theory in the large N limit via sums over surfaces" Abstract: Lattice Yang-Mills theories are important models in particle physics. They are defined on the d-dimensional lattice Z^d using a group of matrices of dimension N, and Wilson loop expectations are the fundamental observables of these theories. Recently, Cao, Park, and Sheffield showed that Wilson loop expectations can be expressed as sums over certain embedded bipartite maps of any genus. Building on this novel approach, we prove in the so-called strongly coupled regime: - A rigorous formula in terms of embedded bipartite planar maps of Wilson loop expectations in the large N limit, in any dimension d. - An exact computation of Wilson loop expectations in the large N limit, in dimension d=2, for a large family of (simple and non-simple) loops. Previous results to the two aforementioned points were previously established by Chatterjee (2019) and Basu & Ganguly (2016), respectively. Our results extend these previous results, offer simpler proofs and provide a new perspective on these significant quantities. This work is a collaboration with Sky Cao and Jasper Shogren-Knaak.

Seminario PRISMA oggi
by Francesco Caravenna 03 Feb '25

03 Feb '25

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) Ricordiamo che oggi, lunedì 3 febbraio 2025, Giambattista Giacomin (Università di Padova) e Marco Zamparo (Università del Piemonte Orientale) ci parleranno di Transizioni di fase in modelli di pinning ed effetto del disordine con il seguente orario: 16:00 Primo seminario 16:30 Pausa e discussione 16:45 Secondo seminario 17:15 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/88679569146 Meeting ID: 886 7956 9146 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Giambattista Giacomin (Università di Padova) e Marco Zamparo (Università del Piemonte Orientale) TITOLO: Transizioni di fase in modelli di pinning ed effetto del disordine. RIASSUNTO: Il modello di pinning è un modello elementare della meccanica statistica che presenta una transizione di (de)localizzazione. Questo modello è stato molto considerato nella letteratura fisica e biofisica poiché emerge naturalmente nella modellizzazione di una varietà di fenomeni e perché, in assenza di disordine, è esattamente risolubile. In termini matematici il modello di pinning è una misura di Gibbs con potenziali a un corpo basata su un processo di rinnovo discreto. Nella prima parte del seminario introduciamo il modello e presentiamo lo stato dell’arte sull’effetto del disordine, esponendo anche alcuni progressi recenti e menzionando alcuni problemi aperti. Nella seconda parte discutiamo invece delle varianti del modello di pinning in cui la densità dell’insieme dei punti di rinnovo è imposta al sistema tramite condizionamento o tramite dei potenziali aggiunti al modello: questo tipo di modelli è stato proposto in biofisica per lo studio del DNA circolare. In questo contesto una nuova fase, intermedia tra la fase localizzata e quella delocalizzata, appare, almeno in assenza di disordine.

31 Jan '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (7 Febbraio) in aula 2BC60 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Paul Nikolaev (Università di Padova) Title: Mean Field Limit for Stochastic Particle Systems With and Without Common Noise: An Analysis of Singular Interactions Date: February 7, 2025, at 14:00, room 2BC60 Abstract: We investigate systems driven by idiosyncratic noise, as well as those influenced by both idiosyncratic and common noise, the latter being particularly relevant in fields such as biology and finance. For both types of systems, we establish mean-field limit results. Our primary objective is to address interaction kernels with low regularity, thereby extending the classical Lipschitz framework. This includes applications to attractive Keller–Segel models, opinion dynamics, and general sub-Coulomb-type kernels. Our approach utilizes techniques from PDE's, such as relative entropy methods. The overarching goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of the recently developed methods that effectively address singular kernels. Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin

SPASS Seminar: Josué Knorst
by Francesco Grotto 30 Jan '25

30 Jan '25

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Quantitative particle approximation of nonlinear stochastic Fokker-Planck equations with singular kernel* by Josué Knorst (ENSTA-Paris, UNICAMP) The seminar will take place TUE, 4.2.2025 at 14:00 CET in Aula Magna, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass *---------------------------------------------------------* *Abstract: * We derive quantitative estimates for stochastic systems of particles moderately interacting via singular kernels and perturbed by both idiosyncratic and environmental noises. The moderate interaction regime is a scale introduced by Oelschläger in the 80s, and it lies between the mean field and the nearest neighbor interaction regimes. We prove that the (mollified) empirical process converges to the solution of the nonlinear stochastic Fokker-Planck equation. The proof is based on Itô’s formula for the norm of a H^1_q-valued process, commutator estimates, and some estimations for the regularization of the empirical measure. Joint work with C. Olivera and A. de Souza.

Stefano Favaro at Tor Vergata 05.02
by Michele Salvi 29 Jan '25

29 Jan '25

Dear all, On Wednesday, February 5th, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo of Tor Vergata Math Department, RoMaDS <https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php> will host Stefano Favaro (Università di Torino) with the seminar “A smoothed-Bayesian approach to frequency recovery from sketched data” Abstract: We introduce a novel statistical perspective on a classical problem at the intersection of computer science and information theory: recovering the empirical frequency of a symbol in a large discrete dataset using only a compressed representation, or sketch, obtained via random hashing. Departing from traditional algorithmic approaches, recent works have proposed Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) methods that can provide more informative frequency estimates by leveraging modeling assumptions on the distribution of the sketched data. In this paper, we propose a smoothed-Bayesian method, inspired by existing BNP approaches but designed in a frequentist framework to overcome the computational limitations of the BNP approaches when dealing with large-scale data from realistic distributions, including those with power-law tail behaviors. For sketches obtained with a single hash function, our approach is supported by frequentist guarantees, including unbiasedness and optimality under a squared error loss function within a class of linear estimators. For sketches with multiple hash functions, we introduce an approach based on multi-view learning to construct computationally efficient frequency estimators. We validate our method on synthetic and real data, comparing its performance to that of existing alternatives. Joint work with Mario Beraha (Politecnico di Milano) and Matteo Sesia (University of Southern California) We encourage in-person partecipation.

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium" per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Da quest'anno le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb Il prossimo appuntamento è per lunedì 3 febbraio 2025. I relatori saranno Giambattista Giacomin (Università di Padova) e Marco Zamparo (Università del Piemonte Orientale) che parleranno di Transizioni di fase in modelli di pinning ed effetto del disordine con il seguente orario: 16:00 Primo seminario 16:30 Pausa e discussione 16:45 Secondo seminario 17:15 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/88679569146 Meeting ID: 886 7956 9146 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Giambattista Giacomin (Università di Padova) e Marco Zamparo (Università del Piemonte Orientale) TITOLO: Transizioni di fase in modelli di pinning ed effetto del disordine. RIASSUNTO: Il modello di pinning è un modello elementare della meccanica statistica che presenta una transizione di (de)localizzazione. Questo modello è stato molto considerato nella letteratura fisica e biofisica poiché emerge naturalmente nella modellizzazione di una varietà di fenomeni e perché, in assenza di disordine, è esattamente risolubile. In termini matematici il modello di pinning è una misura di Gibbs con potenziali a un corpo basata su un processo di rinnovo discreto. Nella prima parte del seminario introduciamo il modello e presentiamo lo stato dell’arte sull’effetto del disordine, esponendo anche alcuni progressi recenti e menzionando alcuni problemi aperti. Nella seconda parte discutiamo invece delle varianti del modello di pinning in cui la densità dell’insieme dei punti di rinnovo è imposta al sistema tramite condizionamento o tramite dei potenziali aggiunti al modello: questo tipo di modelli è stato proposto in biofisica per lo studio del DNA circolare. In questo contesto una nuova fase, intermedia tra la fase localizzata e quella delocalizzata, appare, almeno in assenza di disordine. La comparsa di questa nuova fase è una versione di un fenomeno ben noto in probabilità, dove una singola variabile è responsabile delle grandi fluttuazioni della somma di tante sue copie (« big jump phenomenon »). La presenza del disordine ha un effetto molto drastico su questa fase: spieghiamo infatti che la fase intermedia non esiste se introduciamo del disordine, anche debole. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

by Nicola Turchi 27 Jan '25

27 Jan '25

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the following talk *Claudio Durastanti* (Univ. Roma La Sapienza) *Aliasing effects for random fields over the sphere* *Abstract:** This talk explores aliasing effects that arise during the reconstruction from discrete samples of spin spherical random fields defined on the sphere, with a brief discussion of the scalar case. With a fixed sampling method for obtaining field samples, we identify the location and intensity of aliases in the frequency domain for the harmonic coefficients in the Fourier decomposition of the random field and assess the impact of aliasing errors on the angular power spectrum. Finally, we show that band-limited spin random fields can be free from aliasing if a sufficiently large number of samples is taken.* Date and time: Tuesday* February 4, 14:00-15:00 (Rome time zone)* Place: *Aula 3014, Dip.

Salve, Inoltro con piacere questo messaggio di Riccardo Adami circa un seminario di B. Schlein a Torino. Saluti, Dario Trevisan ----- Care amiche, cari amici, vi segnalo l'inizio di un ciclo di seminari che avranno luogo in vari dipartimenti universitari di Torino, centrato sulla matematica della fisica contemporanea, con particolare riferimento alla Meccanica Quantistica. Giovedí 30 si terrá il primo appuntamento che, come i successivi, consterá di due parti: una lezione informale aperta da tenere al mattino ("crash course") e un seminario\colloquium al pomeriggio. Auspichiamo una partecipazione nutrita anche da parte di dottorande, dottorandi e studenti magistrali. Il primo speaker sará Benjamin Schlein, dell'Universitá di Zurigo. Informazioni in calce e locandina in allegato. Preannuncio che il secondo appuntamento sará l'11 settembre 2025 con Roberto Longo. Siamo a disposizione per ulteriori chiarimenti. Con preghiera di diffusione a tutti i potenziali interessati. Un saluto cordiale, Riccardo Dear All, We are pleased to announce the launch of the new lecture series "QuanTO - Quantum Lectures in Torino". This joint initiative is the result of the scientific cooperation among researchers from the Departments of Physics and Mathematics of Politecnico di Torino (DISMA-DISAT) and Università di Torino. The goal of this series is to bring together physicists and mathematicians interested in quantum theories through regular meetings and advanced lectures on current topics by leading experts. We are particularly committed to engaging students and young researchers with these fascinating areas. Therefore, to encourage broader participation, each conference will be preceded by one or more introductory lectures ("crash course") designed to review the ideas and techniques necessary to fully appreciate the advanced seminar. The inaugural event of this series will take place on January 30th, 2025. We are pleased to host Professor Benjamin Schlein from the University of Zürich on this occasion, who will talk about "Bogoliubov Theory for Dilute Bose Gases." The schedule is as follows - please find the event leaflet attached: - Crash course at Politecnico di Torino, Aula 1D, from 10:00 to 12:00. - Seminar at the Department of Mathematics "G. Peano" (UniTo), Aula Magna (2nd floor), from 15:00 to 16:00. Abstract: In this talk, I am going to review recent progress in the mathematical understanding of the low-energy properties of dilute quantum systems. In particular, I am going to present a rigorous version of Bogoliubov theory and I am going to show how it can be used to obtain precise estimates for the ground state energy and the low-energy excitation spectrum and also to approximate the time evolution of Bose gases in the so-called Gross-Pitaevskii regime. The seminar will be followed by a coffee break and informal discussions. No registration is required. Should you have any inquiries, please feel free to contact us at quanto.lectures(a)gmail.com. Further information can be found on the webpage of the series: https://sites.google.com/view/quantolectures. We kindly ask you to circulate this message to any potential participants.

Statistics Seminar @ MEMOTEF Sapienza - 6 Feb - Stefano Favaro
by Panero,F 23 Jan '25

23 Jan '25

Dear all, On Thursday 6th of February at 12:30pm, the Department of Methods and Models for Economy, Territory and Finance (MEMOTEF) at Sapienza University in Rome will host a seminar by Stefano Favaro, Università degli Studi di Torino e Collegio Carlo Alberto. Title: Quasi-Bayes empirical Bayes: a sequential approach to the Poisson compound decision problem. Abstract: The Poisson compound decision problem is a classical problem in statistics, for which parametric and nonparametric empirical Bayes methodologies are available to estimate Poisson's means in static or batch domains. We study the Poisson compound decision problem in a streaming or online domain, where a timely analysis can enhance decision-making and responsiveness to new information, especially for data arriving at high-velocity. By relying on a quasi-Bayesian sequential (learning) model for the data, often referred to as Newton's algorithm, we obtain sequential Poisson's mean estimates that are of easy evaluation, computationally efficient and with a constant computational cost as data increase, which is desirable for streaming data. Large sample asymptotic properties of the proposed estimates are investigated, also providing frequentist guarantees in terms of a regret analysis. We validate empirically our methodology, both on synthetic and real data, comparing against the most popular alternatives. Joint work with Sandra Fortini (Bocconi University). When: Thursday 06/02/2025, 12:30pm Where: Via del Castro Laurenziano 9, 00161, Rome Meeting room: Aula Di Fresco, 4th Floor (Ala Ammistrazione) You are welcome to attend!

22 Jan '25

Dear all, The Department of Economics and Finance at Luiss University in Rome (*https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it <https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/>*) is pleased to announce the following seminar: *Speaker*: Victor M. Panaretos, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) *Title*: *Distributional Regression and Autoregression via Mass Transportation* *When*: February 6th, 14:30 *Where*: Viale Romania, 32 00197 Rome *Meeting room*: 405 *Abstract*: We present a framework for performing regression when both covariate and response are probability distributions. Our framework is based on the theory of mass transportation and links the conditional Fréchet mean of the response to the covariate via an optimal transport map. In the simplest context of distributions on the real line, we show how one can define and compute a Fréchet least squares estimator of the regression map, which attains the minimax convergence rate under minimal assumptions. We also discuss possible extensions to higher dimensional laws and to autoregressive settings, and how these seem to require additional smoothness conditions for consistent estimation. Based on joint work with Laya Ghodrati. *Webpage*: https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/research-seminar/distributional-regressio… *Should you be interested, please kindly send me an e-mail.* Best wishes, Alessia Caponera

Seminario a Roma il 05/02/2025
by Pietro Caputo 21 Jan '25

21 Jan '25

Mercoledì *5 febbraio *alle ore *14.30, *Simone Baldassarri (Mathematical Institute Leiden University) terrà il seminario dal titolo “*Opinion dynamics on dense dynamic random graphs*”. Abstract: Describing the evolution of dynamic networks together with dynamic processes running on them constitutes a major challenge in network science. Despite considerable efforts in past years, and notable progress on an intuitive and approximative level, our mathematical understanding of such systems is still in its infancy. The focus of this talk will be two-opinion voter models on dense dynamic random graphs. The goal is to understand and describe the occurrence of consensus versus polarisation over long periods of time. The former means that all vertices have the same opinion, the latter means that the vertices split into two communities with different opinions and few disagreeing edges. We consider three models for the joint dynamics of opinions and graphs: one with one-way feedback and two with two-way feedback. In the first model only coexistence is attainable, meaning that both opinions survive, but with the presence of many disagreeing edges. In the second model only consensus prevails, while in the third model polarisation is possible. Key results cover functional laws of large numbers for the densities of the two opinions, functional laws of large numbers for the dynamic random graphs in the space of graphons, and a characterisation of the limiting densities in terms of Beta-distributions. Il seminario avrà luogo in presenza presso il Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica di Roma Tre Aula B in Via della Vasca Navale 84, 00146 Roma -- Pietro Caputo Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica via della vasca navale 84, 00146 Roma, Italy. www.mat.uniroma3.it/users/caputo Tel +39 3460830076

The ABS school SPATIO-TEMPORAL METHODS IN ENVIRONMENTAL EPIDEMIOLOGY, June 3-6, 2025, Genova, Italy
by Elisa Varini 20 Jan '25

20 Jan '25

We are pleased to inform you that the next Applied Bayesian Statistics summer school - ABS25 will be held from 3 to 6 June 2025 in the beautiful historic city of Genova, overlooking the Ligurian Sea in Italy. The school is organized by CNR IMATI (Institute of Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies at the Italian National Research Council in Milano), in cooperation with the Department of Mathematics of the University of Genova. The topic will be SPATIO-TEMPORAL METHODS IN ENVIRONMENTAL EPIDEMIOLOGY The lecturer will be Prof. ALEXANDRA SCHMIDT (McGill University, Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health, Canada), with the support of Dr. CARLO ZACCARDI (University G. d'Annunzio Chieti-Pescara, Department of Economics, Italy). If interested, you can register on the school website: https://abs25.imati.cnr.it/ REGISTRATION is now open, but payments will be possible (by credit card and, possibly, by bank transfer) starting from about mid-February 2025. If you are interested in the school but unwilling to register for the moment, please send an email to abs25(a)mi.imati.cnr.it and we will send you updates and reminders. As in the past (since 2004), there will be a combination of theoretical and practical sessions, along with presentations by participants about their work (past, current and future) related to the topic of the school. OUTLINE: This course aims to explore the interface between environmental epidemiology (EE) and spatio-temporal modelling (ST). The aim of EE is to understand the adverse health effects of environmental hazards and to estimate the risks associated with those hazards. Such risks have traditionally been assessed either over time at a fixed point in space or over space at a fixed point in time. ST modelling characterizes the distribution of those hazards and associated risks over both geographical locations and time. Understanding variation and exploiting dependencies over both space and time greatly increases the power to assess those relationships. The course will cover a wide range of topics from an introduction to spatio-temporal and epidemiological principles along with the foundations of ST modeling, with specific focus on their application, to new directions for research. Topics to be covered: - Types of epidemiological studies: cohort, case–control, ecological. - Measures of risk: relative risks, odds ratios, absolute risk, sources of bias, assessing uncertainty. - Bayesian statistics and computational techniques: Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). - Regression models in epidemiology: Logistic and Poisson generalized linear models, hierarchical models. - Dynamic linear models, temporal autocorrelation. - Spatial models: area and point referenced methods, mapping, geostatistical methods, spatial regression. - Spatial-temporal models: separable models, non-separable models, modelling exposures in space and time.

Seminario Padova - Orphée Collin
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 17 Jan '25

17 Jan '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (24 Gennaio) in aula 2AB40 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Orphée Collin (LPSM Paris) Title: Two-dimensional simple random walk conditioned on avoiding 0 and two-dimendional random interlacements Date: January 24, 2025, at 14:30, room 2AB40 Abstract: In this talk, I will present joint works with Francis Comets and Serguei Popov. How can one condition the two-dimensional simple random walk (2D-SRW), which is well known to be recurrent, on not hitting the origin ? This question will be answered by defining rigorously the 2D-SRW conditioned to avoid the origin. I will then discuss some of its surprising properties and present results concerning its speed of escape towards infinity. I will also present the random interlacements model build upon the conditioned 2D-SRW, which was introduced by the aforementioned coauthors (together with Marina Vachkovskaia) in 2015. I will discuss some properties of this model : FKG inequality, 0-1 law, phase transition and behavior at criticality. During the talk, I will also evoke the continuous counterparts of these processes, namely : the two-dimensional Brownian motion conditioned to avoid the unit ball and the two-dimensional random interlacements. If time allows, I will mention some results on the Brownian random interlacements. Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin

QFinLab Seminar - Adrien Mathieu (Oxford University) - 27/1/2025, 16:00 @ Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandro Calvia 16 Jan '25

16 Jan '25

Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Monday, 27 January 2025, 16.00-17.00 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus) Adrien Mathieu (Oxford University) Title: Market Making with fads, Informed and Uninformed traders. Abstract: We characterize the solutions to a continuous-time optimal liquidity provision problem in a market populated by informed and uninformed traders. In our model, the asset price exhibits fads -- these are short-term deviations from the fundamental value of the asset. Conditional on the value of the fad, we model how informed traders and uninformed traders arrive in the market. The market maker knows of the two groups of traders but only observes the anonymous order arrivals. We study both the complete information and the partial information versions of the control problem faced by the market maker. In such frameworks, we characterize the value of information, and we find the price of liquidity as a function of the proportion of informed traders in the market. Lastly, for the partial information setup, we explore how to go beyond the Kalman-Bucy filter to extract information about the fad from the market arrivals. Next seminar: Marzia De Donno (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore), 19 February 12:15. All news can be found on the QFinLab webpage<https://www.qfinlab.polimi.it/seminars-and-meetings/>. The organizers: Michele Azzone and Alessandro Calvia.

OWABI - Paul Bürkner - January 30
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 14 Jan '25

14 Jan '25

Dear all, the next One World Approximate Bayesian Inference (OWABI) Seminar<https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/news/upcoming-seminars/abcworldsem…> is quickly approaching, being scheduled on Thursday, the 30th January at 11am UK time. Our next speaker is Paul Bürkner<https://paulbuerkner.com/> (TU Dortmund University), who will talk about "Amortized Mixture and Multilevel Models" with an abstract reported below. Abstract: Probabilistic mixture and multilevel models are central building blocks in Bayesian data analysis. However, they remain challenging to estimate and evaluate, especially when the involved likelihoods or priors are analytically intractable. Recent developments in generative deep learning and simulation-based inference have shown promising results in scaling up Bayesian inference through amortization. Against this background, we have developed specialized neural inference frameworks for estimating Bayesian mixture and multilevel models. The involved neural architectures are closely mirroring the probabilistic symmetries and conditional (in-)dependencies assumed by these models. This not only speeds up neural network training, but also enables amortized inference for new datasets of varying number of groups and sample sizes. Keywords: Amortized Bayesian Inference; Neural Posterior Estimation; Probabilistic Factorization This and all talks are hosted on the OWABI Ms Teams Channel, which is available here https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3AdhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KShEETkd_w…. The MS Teams link to join Paul Bürkner's talk is https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3adhZ_4e_XLNJzCXPAMzTvT6BZ5KSh… Meeting ID: 361 477 079 820 Passcode: C49gr9Gx Lastly, if you missed Jeremias Knoblauch's seminar, you could now watch the recorded talk on the OWABI webpage<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc>.

SPASS Seminar: Rangel Baldasso
by Gianmarco Bet 13 Jan '25

13 Jan '25

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *The random Markov property for random walks in random environments* by *Rangel Baldasso* (*PUC-Rio*) The seminar will take place on TUE, 21.01.2025 at *14:00 CET* in Aula Tricerri, Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica "Ulisse Dini", Università degli Studi di Firenze, and streamed online at this link <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: We consider random walks evolving in dynamic random environments and propose a criterion which, if satisfied, allows to decompose the random walk trajectory into i.i.d. increments, and ultimately to prove limit theorems. This criterion, dubbed the random Markov property, involves the construction of a random field built from the environment that has to satisfy a certain Markovian-like property along with some mixing estimates. We apply this criterion to correlated environments such as Boolean percolation and renewal chains featuring polynomial decay of correlations. Based on a joint work with Julien Allasia, Oriane Blondel, and Augusto Teixeira.*

Reminder- talk Giulia Di Nunno
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 05 Jan '25

05 Jan '25

Dear all, you are all invited to participate to the following seminar on *Wednesday 8th of January 2025 at 16:00* in Aula Seminari Demografica 2062 at University of Milano Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8, Milano - building U7, 2nd floor): Speaker: *Giulia Di Nunno* (University of Oslo) Titolo: Utility maximisation and change of variable formulas for time-changed dynamics Abstract: We target the problem of expected utility maximisation of the terminal wealth in a semimartingale setting, where the semimartingale is written in terms of a time-changed Brownian motion and a finite variation process. As for the time-change we consider a general increasing stochastic process with finitely many jumps. To tackle this problem we present change of variable formulas for stochastic integrals w.r.t. the time-changed Brownian motion and we use techniques of enlargement of filtrations. The focus is on power and logarithmic utility. The presentation is based on joint work with Hannes Haferkorn (Commerzbank), Asma Khedher (U. Amsterdam), and Michèle Vanmaele (U. Ghent). The talk can be followed also in streaming at the following link: https://unimib.webex.com/unimib-it/j.php?MTID=m668a56b421b3034262619296de85… Best wishes, Emanuela ****************************************** Emanuela Rosazza Gianin Dipartimento di Statistica e Metodi Quantitativi Università di Milano-Bicocca e-mail: emanuela.rosazza1(a)unimib.it ******************************************
