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

06 Feb '24

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

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

Seminario Leonardo Lelli

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

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

30 Jan '24

Nuovi Seminari PRISMA 2024 Annunciamo con piacere il nuovo programma di seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (PRobability In Statistics, Mathematics and Applications: http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) Da quest'anno i seminari avranno un formato diverso, in uno stile di "colloquium", per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprenderà due relatori, che terranno due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Il primo appuntamento si terrà lunedì 5 febbraio 2024. I relatori saranno Sandra Fortini (Università Bocconi) e Dario Trevisan (Università di Pisa) che presenteranno Un'introduzione ai limiti di scala delle reti neurali artificiali con il seguente orario: 16:00 Primo seminario 16:30 Pausa e discussione 16:45 Secondo seminario 17:15 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82939128330 <https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82939128330> Meeting ID: 829 3912 8330 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Sandra Fortini (Università Bocconi), Dario Trevisan (Università di Pisa) TITOLO: Un'introduzione ai limiti di scala delle reti neurali artificiali RIASSUNTO: Il seminario si propone di presentare un'introduzione alla teoria dei limiti di scala delle reti neurali artificiali, con un'attenzione particolare rivolta a un pubblico esperto di probabilità e statistica matematica. La tendenza attuale nel campo dell'apprendimento automatico è di utilizzare reti neurali profonde con un numero enorme di parametri, inizializzati spesso in modo (pseudo-)casuale. Questo approccio, che nella pratica si rivela estremamente efficace, offre anche una prospettiva teorica utile per comprendere alcune delle proprietà che rendono tale tecnica così potente, ma anche di evidenziarne possibili limiti. L'intervento sarà suddiviso in due parti, ciascuna incentrata su un aspetto del tema. Dopo una breve introduzione alle reti neurali artificiali e al loro utilizzo pratico nell'apprendimento automatico, la prima parte si concentrerà sulla struttura delle reti all'inizializzazione, limitandoci per semplicità alle architetture più semplici. Esploreremo in più dettaglio alcuni dei risultati principali riguardanti i limiti di scala ``ampio'' e ``profondo'' per reti neurali inizializzate con pesi casuali, concentrandoci su alcuni risultati recenti che stabiliscono una equivalenza asintotica tra reti neural profonde e opportuni processi gaussiani. Nella seconda parte, ci concentreremo sulla dinamica dell'addestramento delle reti neurali. Dopo una breve panoramica sui principali algoritmi utilizzati in scenari reali, ci concentreremo su alcuni dei risultati teorici rigorosi, validi per reti ampie e/o profonde: descriveremo in particolare la dinamica guidata dal Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) nel limite dell'addestramento ``lazy'' e la dinamica di gradiente di Wasserstein nel limite di campo medio. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

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

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

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

24 Jan '24

Apologies in advance for cross-posting *** Dear Colleagues, The University of Insubria and Bicocca are honored to host the next international academic conference in the fields of vector and set optimization, stochastic analysis, risk management, and operation research — the 6th International Conference on Set Optimization for Applications (SOfA 2024). This edition is going to take place in Stresa from June 3 to June 7, 2024. The 6th SOfA aims to bring together experts in various fields of set and vector optimization, convex and variational analysis, stochastic analysis, multivariate dynamic programming, multi-criteria decision-making, as well as applications in economics, risk measurement, game theory, and statistics. The conference is, by tradition, very open; the scientific and local committees long to move outside the stream of set and vector optimization and bring together people with a research record in set optimization, with some maybe only remotely related to this topic. So, a very mixed and curious audience is expected. Join us also for a scenic cruise trip on Lago Maggiore and savor the spectacle of its famous islands!

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

24 Jan '24

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

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

19 Jan '24

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

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

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

BioInference 2024: call for abstracts - deadline 31st January
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 15 Jan '24

15 Jan '24

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

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

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

11 Jan '24

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

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

10 Jan '24

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

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

talk Prof. Giulia Di Nunno - Reminder
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 07 Jan '24

07 Jan '24

Dear all, you are all invited to participate to the following seminar on *Wednesday 10th of January 2023 at 16:00* in Aula Seminari Demografica 2062 at University of Milano Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8, Milano - building U7, 2nd floor): Speaker: *Giulia Di Nunno* (University of Oslo) Titolo: *Sandwiched Volterra volatility models, power law and option pricing* Abstract: We consider a financial market with stochastic volatility driven by an arbitrary Hölder continuous Gaussian Volterra process. The distinguishing feature of the model is the form of the volatility equation which ensures the solution to be “sandwiched” between two arbitrary functions chosen in advance. Hence the name Sandwiched Volterra Volatility (SVV) model. Targeting option pricing, we discuss the structure of local martingale measures in this market and we develop an algorithm of pricing options with discontinuous payoffs.

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

23 Dec '23

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

Fwd: talk Prof. Giulia Di Nunno
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 22 Dec '23

22 Dec '23

Dear all, you are all invited to participate to the following seminar on *Wednesday 10th of January 2023 at 16:00* in Aula Seminari Demografica 2062 at University of Milano Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8, Milano - building U7, 2nd floor): Speaker: *Giulia Di Nunno* (University of Oslo) Titolo: *Sandwiched Volterra volatility models, power law and option pricing* Abstract: We consider a financial market with stochastic volatility driven by an arbitrary Hölder continuous Gaussian Volterra process. The distinguishing feature of the model is the form of the volatility equation which ensures the solution to be “sandwiched” between two arbitrary functions chosen in advance. Hence the name Sandwiched Volterra Volatility (SVV) model. Targeting option pricing, we discuss the structure of local martingale measures in this market and we develop an algorithm of pricing options with discontinuous payoffs. Our tools rely on the study of Malliavin calculus, indeed the Malliavin differentiability of the equations and prices is studied. With these, we can also study the power law property of the SVV model.

The ABS school "Bayesian Phylogenetic and Infectious Diseases" in Como (August 26-30, 2024)
by Elisa Varini 18 Dec '23

18 Dec '23

Dear all, We are glad to inform you that the next Applied Bayesian Statistics school - ABS24 will be held in the city of Como, along the Lake Como shoreline, on August 26-30, 2024. The school is organised by CNR IMATI (Institute of Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies at the Italian National Research Council in Milano), in cooperation with Fondazione Alessandro Volta. The topic will be BAYESIAN PHYLOGENETIC AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES. The lecturer will be Prof. MARC SUCHARD (Department of Biostatistics, UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, USA), with the support of Filippo Monti (PhD student in Biostatistics, UCLA, USA). If interested, you can register on the school website: https://abs24.imati.cnr.it/ REGISTRATION is now open but payments will be possible (by bank transfer or credit card) only after February, 1, 2024. If you are interested in the school but unwilling to register for the moment, please send an email to abs24(a)mi.imati.cnr.it and we will send you updates and reminders. As in the past (since 2004), there will be a combination of theoretical and practical sessions, along with presentations by participants about their work (past, current and future) related to the topic of the school. OUTLINE: The aim of this course is to explore the core challenges of Bayesian inference of stochastic processes in modern biology in terms of data-scale, model-dimensionality and compute-complexity. Challenging and emerging statistical solutions will be illustrated through the analysis of biological sequences, such as genes and genomes. Molecular phylogenetics has become an essential analytical tool for understanding the complex patterns in which rapidly evolving pathogens propagate across and between countries, owing to the complex travel and transportation patterns evinced by modern economies, along with growing political factors such as increased global population and urbanisation. As an accessible course for all, a brief introduction of the underlying biology (for statistical researchers) and of modern Bayesian inference (for practicing biologists) will be also provided. Topics will cover probabilistic modeling techniques using both discrete- and continuous-valued stochastic processes including continuous-time Markov chains and Gaussian processes; large-scale data-integration approaches incorporating factors like human mobility and climate measurements; recursive computing and other mathematical tricks to evaluate seemingly intractable likelihoods; state-of-the-art sampling methods for high-dimensional models including Hamiltonian Monte Carlo and its more recent non-reversible extensions; delivering timely inference on advancing computing hardware like graphics processing units and (maybe even) quantum devices. We hope you will be interested in the school and we would like to meet you in Como next year. We invite you also to share the information with people potentially interested. Best regards Elisa Varini and Fabrizio Ruggeri Executive Director and Director of ABS24

SPASS Seminar: Margherita Zanella
by GIOVANNI ALESSANDRO ZANCO 14 Dec '23

14 Dec '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi (abstract below): *Uniqueness of the invariant measure and asymptotic stability for the 2D Navier-Stokes equations with multiplicative noise* by* Margherita Zanella* (Politecnico di Milano) The seminar will take place on *TUE, 19.12.2023* at *14:00 CET *in Aula MCL 16, Polo San Niccolò, Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Informazione e Scienze Matematiche, University of Siena and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass&source…> ------------------------------------------- Abstract: We establish the uniqueness and the asymptotic stability of the invariant measure for the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations driven by a multiplicative noise which is either bounded or with a sublinear or a linear growth. We work on an “effectively elliptic” setting, that is we require that the range of the covariance operator contains the unstable directions. We exploit the generalized asymptotic coupling techniques of [1] and [2], used by these authors for the stochastic Navier-Stokes equations with additive noise. Here, we show how these methods are flexible enough to deal with multiplicative noise as well. A crucial role in our argument is played by the Foias-Prodi estimate in expected value, which has a different form (exponential or polynomial decay) according to the growth condition of the multiplicative noise. The talk is based on a joint work with Benedetta Ferrario. References: [1] N. Glatt-Holtz, J. C. Mattingly, and G. Richards.

Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance - Martin Slowik
by Alberto Chiarini 11 Dec '23

11 Dec '23

Dear all, We would like to invite you to a seminar talk by Martin Slowik (University of Mannheim) for the "Padova Seminars in Probability and Finance" that will take place on Friday 15th December at 15:30, streamed via Zoom in room 2BC30, in Torre Archimede. Title: Metastability of Glauber dynamics with inhomogeneous coupling disorder Date: December 15, 2023 at 15:30, streamed via Zoom in room 2BC30 Zoom: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/85838041170?pwd=SitoTTBtcjkxeTBpNGpsMkpteHc3Zz09 Meeting ID: 858 3804 1170 Passcode: 115159 Abstract: Metastability is a phenomenon that occurs in the dynamics of a multi-stable non-linear system subject to noise. It is characterised by the existence of multiple, well separated time scales. The talk will be focused on the metastable behaviour of a general class of mean-field-like spin systems with random couplings that evolve according to a Glauber dynamics at fixed temperature. This class of systems comprises both the Ising model on inhomogeneous dense random graphs and the randomly diluted Hopfield model. Assuming that the corresponding system in which the random couplings are replaced by their averages is metastable I will explain how the metastability of the random system is implied with high probability. In particular, I will discuss the tail behaviour of the relevant metastable hitting times of the two systems and the moments of their ratio. This is joint work with A. Bovier, F. Den Hollander, S. Marello and E. Pulvirenti. Hope to see many of you! Best wishes, Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin

SPASS Seminar: Massimiliano Datres

10 Dec '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *A two-scale complexity measure for stochastic neural networks * by Massimiliano Datres (Università di Trento) The seminar will take place on TUE, 12.12.2023 at 14:00 CET in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: **Over-parametrized deep learning models are achieving outstanding performances in solving several complex tasks such as image classification problems, object detection and natural language processing. Despite the risk of overfitting, these parametric models show impressive generalization after training. Hence, defining appropriate complexity measures becomes crucial for understanding and quantifying the generalization capabilities of deep learning models. In this talk, I will introduce a new notion of complexity measure, called two-scale effective dimension (2sED), which is a box-covering dimension related to a metric induced by the Fisher information matrix of the parametric model. I will then show how the 2sED can be used to derive a generalization bound. Furthermore, I present an approximation of the 2sED for Markovian models, called lower 2sED, that can be computed sequentially layer-by-layer with less computational demands. Finally, I present experimental evidence that the post-training performance of given parametric models is related both with 2sED and the lower 2sED.*

One world probability seminar on Thursday 14 December
by Ilya Chevyrev 08 Dec '23

08 Dec '23

Dear all, The next session of the One World Probability Seminar will be next week on Thursday (December 14) from 14:00 to 16:00 *UTC time*.The speakers of this session are Marcel Nutz (Columbia University) and Stephan Eckstein (ETH Zürich). Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be also found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. Kind regards, Julio Backhoff and Ilya Chevyrev. Title: Entropic Selection in Optimal Transport Abstract:The optimal transport problem can admit many solutions, for instance when the cost function is the Euclidean distance on R^d (Monge's problem). On the other hand, entropically regularized optimal transport (EOT) always has a unique optimizer. It is a longstanding open problem whether EOT selects some particular optimal transport coupling in the vanishing regularization limit, and what that coupling would look like. We provide a surprising answer for Monge's problem in dimension d > 1. (Joint work with Chenyang Zhong.) Speaker 1 (14:00-15:00 UTC): Marcel Nutz (Columbia University). Title: Exponential convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm and Hilbert's projective metric for unbounded functions Abstract: Entropic regularization of optimal transport has found numerous applications in various fields recently. A major reason for this surge in applications is the popularization of Sinkhorn's algorithm to efficiently solve the entropic optimal transport problem numerically. This talk studies the (rate of) convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm. In bounded settings, it is known that Sinkhorn's algorithm converges with exponential rate, which is a consequence of applying a commonly used version of Hilbert's metric corresponding to the cone of all non-negative functions. This talk shows how to define versions of Hilbert's metric so that we can show exponential convergence of Sinkhorn's algorithm even in unbounded settings. This is done through the use of cones which are relaxations of the cone of all non-negative functions, in the sense that they include all functions having non-negative integral values when multiplied with certain test functions. Along the way, we establish that kernel integral operators are contractions with respect to suitable versions of Hilbert’s metric, even if the kernel functions are not bounded away from zero. Speaker 2 (15:00-16:00 UTC): Stephan Eckstein (ETH Zürich). Zoom-link: https://univienna.zoom.us/j/69978648939?pwd=WllwSmd4bW9EQlZJNlRqdlA3M0I1Zz09 Meeting ID: 699 7864 8939 Passcode: 713222

Bioinference - call for abstract
by Enrico Bibbona 06 Dec '23

06 Dec '23

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

postdoc position
by Marco Scarsini 05 Dec '23

05 Dec '23

Call for a postdoc position on the topic “A dynamic analysis of supply-chain networks and their disruption” Supply chains are the intricate networks of organizations, people, activities, information, and resources involved in the production and distribution of goods and services. They are vulnerable to disruptions, which can be caused by a wide range of factors and can have profound consequences. Organizations are increasingly aware of the need to build more resilient supply chains. In the face of disruption, supply chain management is a critical function. A supply chain is modeled as a network whose vertices are firms and whose edges represent their interactions. The network evolves dynamically, and may be affected by sudden disruptions. Many of the existing supply-chain models are static and, when dealing with disruptions, compare pre- and post-shock equilibria. In real life, the effects of disruption take time to spread across the network. Understanding this temporal element is fundamental for taking mitigating actions. The main goal of this project is to study dynamic models of supply-chain disruption. The formal analysis of this phenomenon will use tools from network theory, probability theory, game theory, operations management, optimization, dynamical systems, machine learning, data science. We are looking for a candidate who has a strong expertise in at least one of the above fields. Length of the position: 36 months Gross annual salary: € 36.480,57 Application deadline: 2024/01/08, 14:00 CET The list of available postdoc positions in the Department of Economics and Finance can be found here: https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/en/research/post-doc-fellowship/research-… The call can be found here: https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/sites/ef/files/content/Bando%20Assegno%20… The application has to be submitted online here: https://cloudserverjsa.luiss.it/LGCAssegni/index.zul?CDS=AS4209 ******************************************************* Marco Scarsini Dipartimento di Economia e Finanza Luiss University Viale Romania 32 00197 Roma, ITALY

Seminario di Daniel Parisi - 4 dicembre, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Giacomo Di Gesu 29 Nov '23

29 Nov '23

Buongiorno a tutti, segnalo il seguente seminario: *Lunedì 4 dicembre, ore 17:00* Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker:* Daniel Parisi, Sapienza Università di Roma *Title:* Entropy and mixing time of non-local Markov chains. *Abstract:* We discuss the convergence to the stationary distribution for non-local Markov chains on general spin systems on arbitrary graphs. We show that the relative entropy functional of the corresponding Gibbs measure satisfies the block factorization of entropy, an inequality that controls the entropy on a given region V in terms of a weighted sum of the entropies on blocks A ⊂ V when each A is given an arbitrary nonnegative weight α_A. This inequality generalizes the approximate tensorization of entropy and provides a natural extension of the classical Shearer inequality satisfied by the Shannon entropy. As a consequence of block factorization, we obtain optimal bounds on the mixing time of a large class of sampling algorithms for the ferromagnetic Ising/Potts models, including non-local Markov chains such as the heat-bath block dynamics and the Swendsen-Wang dynamics. The methods also apply to spin systems with hard constraints such as q-colorings and the hard-core gas model. First, we consider spin systems on the d-dimensional lattice Z^d satisfying strong spatial mixing. Then we extend our analysis to spin systems on an arbitrary graph satisfying spectral independence. Finally, we show that the existence of a contractive coupling for any local Markov chain implies spectral independence. saluti, Giacomo Di Gesù

One world probability seminar this Thursday
by Ilya Chevyrev 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

Dear all. The next session of the One World Probability Seminar will be this Thursday (November 30) from 14:00 to 16:00 *UTC time*.The speakers of this session are Vittoria Silvestri (University of Rome La Sapienza) and James Norris (University of Cambridge). Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be also found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. Kind regards, Ilya Chevyrev and Julio Backhoff. Title: Planar aggregation with subcritical fluctuations and the Hastings-Levitov models Abstract: The ALE (Aggregate Loewner Evolution) models describe growing random clusters on the complex plane, built by iterated composition of random conformal maps. A striking feature of these models is that they can be used to define natural off-lattice analogues of several fundamental discrete models, such as Eden growth or Diffusion Limited Aggregation, by tuning the correlation between the defining maps appropriately. In this talk I will introduce the ALE models, which include Hastings-Levitov models as particular cases, and discuss their large scale behaviour. Based on joint work with James Norris (Cambridge, UK) and Amanda Turner (Leeds, UK). Speaker 1 (14:00-15:00 UTC): Vittoria Silvestri (University of Rome La Sapienza). Title: Analysis of stochastic evolutions in infinite dimensions: application to stability of the Hastings-Levitov models Abstract: Martingales play a important role in the analysis of stochastic processes, in particular in demonstrating laws of large numbers and central limit behaviour. Motivated by the Aggregate Loewner Evolution models discussed in the preceding talk, I will discuss an interplay between martingale inequalities and Lp-multiplier estimates which allows to extend the use of martingales in an infinite-dimensional setting. (This is joint work with Vittoria Silvestri (Rome, La Sapienza) and Amanda Turner (Leeds).) Speaker 2 (15:00-16:00 UTC): James Norris (University of Cambridge).

One world probability seminar on Thursday 30 November
by Ilya Chevyrev 24 Nov '23

24 Nov '23

Dear all. The next session of the One World Probability Seminar will be next week on Thursday (November 30) from 14:00 to 16:00 *UTC time*. The speakers of this session are Vittoria Silvestri (University of Rome La Sapienza) and James Norris (University of Cambridge). Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be also found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. Kind regards, Ilya Chevyrev and Julio Backhoff. Title: Planar aggregation with subcritical fluctuations and the Hastings-Levitov models Abstract: The ALE (Aggregate Loewner Evolution) models describe growing random clusters on the complex plane, built by iterated composition of random conformal maps. A striking feature of these models is that they can be used to define natural off-lattice analogues of several fundamental discrete models, such as Eden growth or Diffusion Limited Aggregation, by tuning the correlation between the defining maps appropriately. In this talk I will introduce the ALE models, which include Hastings-Levitov models as particular cases, and discuss their large scale behaviour. Based on joint work with James Norris (Cambridge, UK) and Amanda Turner (Leeds, UK). Speaker 1 (14:00-15:00 UTC): Vittoria Silvestri (University of Rome La Sapienza). Title: Analysis of stochastic evolutions in infinite dimensions: application to stability of the Hastings-Levitov models Abstract: Martingales play a important role in the analysis of stochastic processes, in particular in demonstrating laws of large numbers and central limit behaviour. Motivated by the Aggregate Loewner Evolution models discussed in the preceding talk, I will discuss an interplay between martingale inequalities and Lp-multiplier estimates which allows to extend the use of martingales in an infinite-dimensional setting. (This is joint work with Vittoria Silvestri (Rome, La Sapienza) and Amanda Turner (Leeds).) Speaker 2 (15:00-16:00 UTC): James Norris (University of Cambridge).

SPASS Seminar: Lucie Laurence
by Andrea Agazzi 23 Nov '23

23 Nov '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Scaling methods for stochastic chemical reaction networks * by Lucie Laurence (INRIA Paris) The seminar will take place on TUE, 28.11.2023 at 14:00 CET in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: **In this talk we investigate stochastic chemical reaction networks (CRNs) with scaling methods. This approach is used to study the stability properties of the associated Markov processes, but also to investigate the transient behavior of the sample paths. It also gives insight on the impact of specific features of these networks such as their polynomial reaction rates, leading to the coexistence of multiple timescales. Some examples of CRNs are discussed to illustrate the multiple timescales involved in the decay of the norm of the state when the CRN starts from a “large” initial state. A detailed scaling analysis of an interesting CRN exhibiting a slow decrease of the norm of the state is presented.*

Fwd: Seminario Padova - Dario Trevisan
by Alekos Cecchin 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che questo venerdì (24 Novembre) alle ore 14:30 in aula 1BC50 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: *Dario Trevisan* (Università di Pisa) *Title*: On the Concave One-Dimensional Random Assignment Problem: Kantorovich Meets Young *Date*: November 24, 2023 at 14:30, room 1BC50, Torre Archimede, Padova *Abstract*: We consider the assignment (or bipartite matching) problem between n source points and n target points on the real line, where the assignment cost is a concave power of the distance, |x-y|^p, for 0<p<1. It is known that, differently from the convex case (p>1) where the solution is rigid, i.e. it does not depend on p, in the concave case it may varies with p and exhibit interesting long-range connections, making it more appropriate to model realistic situations, e.g. in economics and biology. In the random version of the problem, the points are samples of i.i.d. random variables, and one is interested in typical properties as the sample size n grows. Barthe and Bordenave in 2013 proved asymptotic upper and lower bounds in the range 0<p<1/2, which they conjectured to be sharp. Bobkov and Ledoux, in 2020, using optimal transport and Fourier-analytic tools, determined explicit upper bounds for the average assignment cost in the full range 0<p<1, naturally yielding to the conjecture that a "phase transition" occurs at p=1/2. We settle affirmatively both conjectures. The novel mathematical tool that we develop, and may be of independent interest, is a formulation of Kantorovich problem based on Young integration theory, where the difference between two measures is replaced by the weak derivative of a function with finite q-variation. Joint work with M. Goldman (arXiv:2305.09234). Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin

Announcement: Quantum Computing for Finance – Course by Prof. Jacquier - 04.12-07.12.2023
by Viktoria Schildhammer 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

Dear colleagues, We would like to announce the following course: “Quantum Computing for Finance” held by Professor Antoine Jacquier taking place at the University of Vienna, at the department for Statistics and Operations Research at Kolingasse 14-16, 1090 (https://quarimafi.univie.ac.at/quantum-computing-finance/) The course will take place from Monday, 04.12.2023, until Thursday, 07.12.2023. It is aimed at PhD students and researchers who want to get acquainted with quantum computing and its potential applications in the finance . Please find the preliminary program for the course here: https://quarimafi.univie.ac.at/quantum-computing-finance/programm/. The abstract of the course and a short bio of Antoine Jacquier can be found below and on the website. Attending the course is for free, but please register via email to <viktoria.schildhammer(a)univie.ac.at>. The registration deadline is the 30.11.2023. This is the last day where registrations will be accepted. Please also mention in your registration email your full name and affiliation! In case of problems / questions, please do not hesitate to send us an e-mail! We are looking very much forward to welcoming you at the course! Kind regards, Prof. Christa Cuchiero and Viktoria Schildhammer ------------------------------- Abstract: Quantum Computing, relegated for decades as a spooky distant myth, is now becoming a reality. To wit, quantum computers (albeit small in scale) are already available, developed by the likes of IBM, Rigetti, D-Wave, Google, Microsoft, ..... However, a quantum computer is not simply a bigger and more powerful computer, and requires a whole new set of algorithms to be written to perform useful tasks. These, and the underlying technology, draw from the laws of quantum mechanics, fundamentally different from our usual numerical toolbox. The goal of this course is to provide a mathematical introduction to Quantum Computing and to highlight applications in Quantitative Finance, in particular for Monte Carlo simulations, machine learning and optimisation. Numerical examples (through python) will also be introduced to provide a tangible reality. Bio: Antoine Jacquier is Professor of Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London. His research interests range from Probability Theory and Stochastic Analysis to Numerical Analysis and Quantum Computing, with a view towards applications in Mathematical Finance. For more details on his research or his published papers, please visit his homepage: https://jackantoinejacquie.wixsite.com/jacquier.

Here, uncertainty is understood in the sense of Frank Knight, in that decision makers struggle to assign reliable estimates of probabilities to future events. This Knightian uncertainty is widely believed to capture our world's mega trends such as climate change, energy crisis, migration, pandemics, and technological development. Its analysis has been a central research topic in decision theory for the last two decades, and increasingly in microeconomic theory more generally, currently being explored at research centers around the world. As main innovation of our program, we seek to explore the implications of uncertainty in dynamic economies, which is vastly understudied at present but critical to answer the economic questions raised by the aforementioned mega trends. For more information, you can visit the Website: https://www.uni-bielefeld.de/zwe/imw/cude/ The position is available as soon as April 1 2024, yet later starts are also possible.

SPASS Seminar: Michele Stecconi
by Andrea Agazzi 20 Nov '23

20 Nov '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Sobolev-Malliavin regularity of the nodal volume* by Michele Stecconi (University of Luxemburg) The seminar will take place on TUE, 21.11.2023 at 14:00 CET in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: *Consider the nodal volume of a non-degenerate (in a sense to specify) Gaussian random field defined on a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension d greater or equal to 2. We prove that the law of such random variable has an absolutely continuous component, as a direct consequence of its Fréchet differentiability. Moreover, we give an explicit formula for the derivative (the mean curvature). The non-singularity of the law had already been established by Angst and Poly for stationary fields on the d-torus, in dimension d>2, via Malliavin calculus. In this work the two dimensional case remained open, in particular, the Malliavin differentiability of the nodal length was unknown. We prove that the nodal volume admits a L2 Malliavin derivative, for d>2 and that in the case d=2, this is false, but the Malliavin derivative still exists in L1. A fundamental ingredient is to understand the Sobolev regularity of the function f(t) that expresses the volume of the level t of a “typical” Morse function. (A joint work with Giovanni Peccati.)

Seminar in Statistics - SVEN WANG

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 17 Novembre 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: Sven Wang (Humboldt University Berlin, Germany) Title: *Statistical convergence rates for transport- and ODE-based generative models* Abstract: Measure transport provides a powerful toolbox for estimation and generative modelling of complicated probability distributions. The common principle is to learn a transport map which couples a tractable (e.g. uniform or normal) reference distribution to some complicated target distribution, e.g. by maximizing a likelihood objective. In this talk, we discuss recent advances in statistical convergence guarantees for such methods. While a general theory is developed, we will primarily treat (1) triangular maps which are the building blocks for ’autoregressive normalizing flows’ and (2) ODE-based maps, defined through an ODE flow. The latter encompasses NeuralODEs, a popular method for generative modeling. Our results imply that transport methods achieve minimax-optimal convergence rates for non-parametric density estimation over Hölder classes on the unit cube. Based on the papers arXiv:2207.10231 and arXiv:2309.01043, joint with Youssef Marzouk (MIT, United States), Robert Ren (MIT, United States) and Jakob Zech (U Heidelberg, Germany). ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84606225203?pwd=aFhFa2RKaWtVd2V6R2Rpc05hRGNodz09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

[owps] One world probability seminar on Thursday 16 November
by Ilya Chevyrev 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

Dear all. The next session of the One World Probability Seminar will be next week on Thursday (November 16) from 14:00 to 16:00 UTC time. The speakers of this session are Elisabetta Candellero (Universita Roma Tre) and Thomas Finn (Durham University). Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be also found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. Kind regards, Ilya Chevyrev and Julio Backhoff. Title: Coexistence in competing first-passage percolation Abstract: Consider the following random competition model on a given graph G that is driven by two first-passage percolation processes FPP_1 and FPP_\lambda. Initially, FPP_1 occupies a single site and FPP_\lambda is dormant in seeds that are placed on the sites of G as a product of Bernoulli measures of parameter p. Then, FPP_1 spreads through the edges of G at rate 1 and FPP_\lambda spreads from seeds at rate \lambda when that seed is attempted to be occupied by either FPP_1 or FPP_\lambda. Once a site is occupied by either process it remains occupied by that process henceforth. This model is known as first-passage percolation in a hostile environment (FPPHE) and was first introduced by Sidoravicius and Stauffer ’19. In the first talk, we establish that FPPHE is non-monotone in the sense that increasing p or \lambda may increase the probability that FPP_1 occupies infinitely many sites through constructing a quasi-transitive graph where such behaviour holds. The non-monotonicity of FPPHE makes understanding the phase transitions of the model extremely challenging. We prove that a regime of coexistence exists on hyperbolic and non-amenable vertex transitive graphs where both FPP_1 and FPP_\lambda concurrently occupy infinite connected components with positive probability. In the second talk, we prove that a regime of coexistence also holds on Z^d for d>2 through the introduction of a refined multi-scale analysis that can handle non-equilibrium and non-monotone processes. We relate this proof to recent work on multi-particle diffusion limited aggregation by Sidoravicius and Stauffer ’19 and the SIR model by Dauvergne and Sly ’22 where FPPHE is a crucial analytical tool in understanding non-equilibrium particle systems. Based on joint work with Alexandre Stauffer. Speaker 1 (14:00-15:00 UTC): Elisabetta Candellero (Universita Roma Tre). Speaker 2 (15:00-16:00 UTC): Thomas Finn (Durham University).

Carissimi colleghi, scusandomi per eventuali invii multipli, vi inoltro il seguente annuncio di seminario. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordialmente, Enea Bongiorno -------------------------------- 22 novembre ore 16.00 - aula 206, campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara. Università del Piemonte Orientale. - on-line: https://meet.google.com/ign-wqer-sjs *Finite-sample exact prediction bands for functional data* *Prof. Simone Vantini, Politecnico di Milano* *Abstract:* The talk will deal with the key challenge of creating prediction bands for a new observation in the functional data framework given a training set of observed functional data and possibly in presence of covariates, either scalar, categorical, or functional. Starting from the investigation of the literature concerning this topic, we propose an innovative approach building on top of Conformal Prediction and Functional Data Analysis able to overcome the main drawbacks associated to the existing approaches. Under minimal distributional assumptions (i.e., exchangeability of the random functions), we will show how the new proposed nonparametric method (i) is able to provide prediction regions which could visualized in the form of bands, (ii) is guaranteed with exact coverage probability also for finite sample sizes, and finally (iii) is computational efficient. Different specifications of the method will be compared in terms of efficiency in some simulated and real case scenarios also in the case of multi-dimensional domain and/or codomain. ----------------------------------- Locandina dell'evento <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1VJXOiNVwkDI8w2wE0hMqcjFgVzEa7vi4?us…> Seminari Matematici Statistici <https://sites.google.com/uniupo.it/seminari-ms/home-page> ----------------------------------- -- Enea Bongiorno,PhD Associate Professor of Statistics Università degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale Via Perrone 18, 28100, Novara, Italia Phone: +390321375317 enea.bongiorno(a)uniupo.it upobook.uniupo.it/enea.bongiorno

R: Seminario di Probabilità e Finanza
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che questo venerdì (10 Novembre) alle ore 14:30 in aula 2BC30 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Bernardo D’Auria (Università di Padova) Title: An optimal stopping problem for Gauss-Markov bridges Date: November 10, 2023 at 14:30, room 2BC30, Torre Archimede, University of Padova Abstract: In this talk I’ll present a work I’ve been recently interested in. It consists in finding the optimal barrier strategy that maximizes the expected value of a Gauss-Markov bridge. The Gauss-Markov bridges are a general class of processes, obtained by conditioning a Gaussian Markov process to end in a specific point at a specific terminal time, or expiration date. This class includes the Brownian bridge and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck bridge process as special cases, and its members have the property to be non-homogeneous in time and with an unbounded drift near the expiration date. I’m going to show that a feasible way to deal with the optimal stopping problem is to use a time-space transformation that allows to reduce it to an infinite horizon problem about a Brownian motion. Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto e Alekos

UNIVERSITA' DI SALERNO Dipartimento di Matematica *AVVISO** DI SEMINARIO* Il Prof. *Thomas SIMON *(Université de Lille) terrà, *mercoledì 8 novembre, alle ore 15:00*, presso la Sala Riunioni dell'Edificio F2 (piano 1, stanza 36), un seminario dal titolo: *On Tsallis cumulative entropies* Gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare, *Antonio Di Crescenzo* *Barbara Martinucci* *Alessandra Meoli**Serena Spina* Link su Teams: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3a6hfHOOIVt89PyLIJDpqXis553z6p… * Abstract* We investigate the Tsallis cumulative entropy, an information measure recently introduced as a cumulative version of the classical Tsallis differential entropy. This functional is considered as a perturbation of the expected mean residual life via some power weight function. This point of view leads to the introduction of the dual cumulative Tsallis entropy and of two families of coherent risk measures generalizing those built on mean residual life. We characterize the finiteness of the cumulative Tsallis entropy in terms of Lp-spaces and show how they determine the underlying distribution. We also study the range of the Tsallis cumulative entropy under various constraints. In the symmetric case with finite variance, whereas the maximization of the Tsallis differential entropy gives rise to the classical q−Gaussian distribution which is a perturbation of the Gaussian distribution having a finite range or heavy tails, the maximization of the cumulative Tsallis entropy leads to an analogous perturbation of the Logistic distribution.

LTI@UniTO Seminar: Leonidas Barbopoulos | November 7, 2023 @ 12:00 - 13:15
by Luca Regis 03 Nov '23

Dear Colleagues, it is my pleasure to forward you the invitation to the following seminar organized by LTI@UniTO and CCA. The seminar can be attended online via zoom (link below). Best regards, Luca Regis <https://4z5y5.r.a.d.sendibm1.com/mk/cl/f/sh/SMK1E8tHeFuBlzkcYLDa5hFz9Ao6/rk…> LTI@Unito and Fondazione Collegio Carlo Alberto are pleased to invite you to the following seminar *November 7, 2023 | 12:00 - 13:15* *The Real Effects of Dark Trading* *Leonidas Barbopoulos (University of Edinburgh Business School)* *Abstract*. Up to 50% of trading in some stocks is in opaque off-market venues, prompting regulatory debate about dark trading. We analyze the real effects of dark trading and find that it positively impacts corporate investment decisions. In moderate amounts, it makes stock prices more informative, thereby helping managers learn from stock prices, and improving company performance. It also increases manager forecast accuracy and influences decisions during M&As. However, high levels can be harmful. We address identification through a quasi-natural experiment, instrumental variables, and Heckman selection models.

SPASS Seminar: Theresa Lange

03 Nov '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Regularization by noise of an averaged version of the Navier-Stokes equations* Theresa Lange (University of Bielefeld) The seminar will take place on TUE, 7.11.2023 at 14:00 CET in Aula Mancini, Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa and streamed online at the link below (*please notice the unusual venue*). The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: * *In [T16], the author constructs an averaged version of the deterministic three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations (3D NSE) which experiences blow-up in finite time. In the last decades, various works have studied suitable perturbations of ill-posed deterministic PDEs in order to prevent or delay such behavior. A promising example is given by a particular choice of transport noise used in [FL21] in the context of the vorticity form of the 3D NSE, and in [FGL21] for more general models. In this talk, we analyze the model in [T16] in view of those two works and discuss the regularization skills of transport noise in the context of the averaged 3D NSE. This is joint work with Martina Hofmanová (U Bielefeld).* *References:* *[T16] T. Tao, Finite time blowup of an averaged three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation.

de Finetti seminar: 8 November, 16:30
by Marco Maggis 26 Oct '23

26 Oct '23

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the "B. de Finetti Risk Seminars, Milano Lectures on the Mathematical Theory of Economics and Finance”, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following lecture: Umut Cetin London School of Economics Title: *Insider trading with penalties and BSDEs* Abstract: We study equilibrium in a continuous time Kyle-Back model with a risk neutral informed trader whose trades are subject to costs, which can also be viewed as legal penalties for illegal insider trading if caught by the authorities. Existence of equilibrium is established under certain assumptions on the asset’s terminal payoff. Informed trader’s value function is related to a BSDE whose terminal condition is determined in equilibrium, which turns out to be the fixed point of a nonlinear operator. Equilibrium also reveals an interesting connection between h-transforms and quadratic BSDEs. LOCATION: The seminar will be held on *November 8, *2023 at *16.30,* Aula Di Rappresentanza, Dipart. Matematica, Università di Milano, Via Saldini 50, Milano. Scientific Committee: Prof. Simone Cerreia-Vioglio (Univ.

Seminar in Statistics - PATRICK REBESCHINI
by Pierpaolo De Blasi 23 Oct '23

23 Oct '23

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 27 Ottobre 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Patrick Rebeschini* (Oxford University, UK) Title: *Algorithmic Stability, Generalization, and Privacy for Diffusion Models* Abstract: The acclaimed success of diffusion models sparks a need to formulate theoretical guarantees to explain the generalization capability of such distribution learning methods, despite the high-dimensional nature of the training data and sampling procedures being utilized. Prior efforts accounting for the empirical nature of score matching mechanisms typically hinge on uniform learning strategies, which provide error bounds that are algorithm-agnostic and often yield results that depend exponentially badly on the problem dimension. In this work, we move away from uniform learning approaches and develop algorithm-dependent generalization error bounds based on the framework of algorithmic stability from supervised learning. We introduce the notion of 'score stability’, which encapsulates the score learning process's susceptibility to perturbations in the training data. We show that score-stable algorithms generalize well and generate differentially-private samples. To showcase the applicability of our framework, we consider score functions learned via canonical gradient-based optimization procedures, and establish generalization bounds that display a linear dependence on the dimension. Our bounds are stated with respect to the reverse KL divergence and the maximum mean discrepancy, notions of error commonly used in the analysis and training of diffusion models. (Joint work with Tyler Farghly, George Deligiannidis, and Arnaud Doucet) ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88107896961?pwd=TFZhS01BS3IzZmtSRWZNTWJhNHRNQT09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

SPASS Seminar: Simon Michaël Schulz
by Francesco Grotto 20 Oct '23

20 Oct '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi (abstract below): *Well-posedness and stationary states for a crowded active Brownian system with size-exclusion* by *Simon Michaël Schulz* (Scuola Normale Superiore) The seminar will take place on *TUE, 24.10.2023* at *14:00 CET *in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, University of Pisa and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass&source…> ------------------------------------------- Abstract: We prove the existence of solutions to a non-linear, non-local, degenerate equation which was previously derived as the formal hydrodynamic limit of an active Brownian particle system, where the particles are endowed with a position and an orientation. This equation incorporates diffusion in both the spatial and angular coordinates, as well as a non-linear non-local drift term, which depends on the angle-independent density. The spatial diffusion is non-linear degenerate and also comprises diffusion of the angle-independent density, which one may interpret as cross-diffusion with infinitely many species. Our proof relies on interpreting the equation as the perturbation of a gradient flow in a Wasserstein-type space. It generalizes the boundedness-by-entropy method to this setting and makes use of a gain of integrability due to the angular diffusion. We also prove uniqueness in the particular case where the non-local drift term is null, and provide existence and uniqueness results for stationary equilibrium solutions. This is joint work with Martin Burger.

Seminars at Sapienza Univ. - 23-24 Oct.
by Luisa Beghin 19 Oct '23

19 Oct '23

Dear all, we are pleased to invite you to the two seminars organised by the Department of Statistical Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, which can be followed via Zoom. *Location:* Room n.24, 4th floor, Edificio CU002 (Scienze Statistiche) *Zoom: * https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/84380852385?pwd=RDBrcVdvelRMM0VmczlXYWgwL2pPZz09 *Time:* *Monday 23th of October, at 10.30* *Speaker: *Josè Luis Da Silva (University of Madeira - Portugal) *Title:* A Biorthogonal Approach to Infinite Dimensional Fractional Poisson Measures *Abstract*: We use a biorthogonal approach to the analysis of the infinite dimensional fractional Poisson measure. The complex Hilbert space w.r.t. these measures are described in terms of a proper system of generalized Appell polynomials. The kernels of the monomials may be expressed in terms of the Stirling operators of the first and second kind as well as the falling factorials in infinite dimensions. Associated to this system of Appell polynomials is the dual Appell system which is suitable to describe generalised functions. We then construct and characterize test and generalised functions in terms of integral transform as entire functions. *Time:* *Tuesday 24th of October, at 14.30* *Speaker: *Tobias Kuna (University of L'Aquila) *Title:* An Intrinsic Characterization of Moment Functionals in the Compact Case *Abstract:* We discuss characterizations of linear functionals $L$ on an unital commutative real algebra $A$ which can be represented as integral w.r.t. a compactly supported Radon measure on the character space of $A$. We give a characterization by the following three types of conditions: bounds on the growth of $(L(a^n))_n$, non-negativity of $L$ on Archimedean quadratic models, and continuity of $L$ w.r.t. submultiplicative seminorms on $A$. We will relate each of these conditions to a different technique solving this instance of the moment problem. Surprisingly, we can also provide an exact characterization of the compact support of the representing Radon measure purely in terms of $L$. This is a joint work arXiv:2204.05630 with Maria Infusino, Salma Kuhlmann and Patrick Michalski. Best regards.

One World ABC Seminar: Stefan Radev - 26th October, 1pm Uk time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 17 Oct '23

17 Oct '23

Dear all, our next One World ABC Seminar www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc> is quickly approaching. We are happy to inform you that our next OWABC speaker is Stefan Radev<https://faculty.rpi.edu/stefan-radev> (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, US), who will talk about "More expressive amortized Bayesian inference via joint learning and self-consistency?" on Thursday, the 26th October at 1pm UK time (please notice the different time!) Abstract: We propose “jointly amortized neural approximation” (JANA) to simultaneously learn intractable likelihood functions and posterior densities arising in Bayesian surrogate modeling and simulation-based inference. To this end, we train three complementary networks in an end-to-end fashion: 1) a summary network to compress individual data points, sets, or time series into informative embedding vectors; 2) a posterior network to learn an amortized approximate posterior; and 3) a likelihood network to learn an amortized approximate likelihood. The interaction between these networks opens a new route to amortized marginal likelihood and posterior predictive estimation. Furthermore, we observe that we can increase the efficiency of amortized inference by leveraging the marginal likelihood as a proxy for the self-consistency of Bayes’ rule. Upon perfect approximation, the marginal likelihood is constant across all parameter values by definition. However, approximation error leads to undesirable variance in the marginal likelihood estimates across different parameter values. We formulate violations of this symmetry as a loss function applicable in both likelihood-based and simulation-based scenarios. We demonstrate the utility of these approaches on illustrative Bayesian models, including both simple examples and representative cases. The talk will be streamed on MS Teams, and it can be joined via this link https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZWQwZjg3NTktNjY4OS00… or via Meeting ID: 389 057 974 73 Passcode: H9uMjk We're looking forward to seeing you next week, best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the OWABC Organisers ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Associate Professor Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino

Double seminar: Francesco D'Amore & Isabella Ziccardi at Tor Vergata
by Michele Salvi 16 Oct '23

16 Oct '23

Dear all, On Thursday, October 19th, at 14h00 (change of usual time!) in Aula Dal Passo at the Math Department of Roma Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/about.php) will host the seminars 14h00 - Francesco D'Amore (Aalto University, Espoo) "The Strong Lottery Ticker Hypothesis and the Random Subset Sum Problem” Abstract: The Strong Lottery Ticket Hypothesis (SLTH) posits that randomly-initialized neural networks contain subnetworks (strong lottery tickets) that achieve competitive accuracy when compared to sufficiently small target networks, even those that have been trained. Empirical evidence for this phenomenon was first observed by Ramanujan et al. in 2020, spurring a line of theoretical research: Malach et al. (2020), Pensia et al. (2020), da Cunha et al. (2022), and Burkholz (2022) have analytically proved formulations of the SLTH in various neural network classes and under different hypotheses. In this presentation, we provide an overview of the state-of-the-art theoretical research on the SLTH and its connection with the Random Subset Sum (RSS) problem in theoretical computer science. While previous works on the SLTH ensure that the strong lottery ticket can be obtained via unstructured pruning, we demonstrate how recent advances in the multidimensional generalization of the RSS problem can be leveraged to obtain forms of structured pruning. Additionally, we highlight how refining the RSS results would yield tighter formulations of the SLTH. This presentation is based on a joint work with Arthur da Cunha and Emanuele Natale that will be presented at NeurIPS 2023. 15h00 - Isabella Ziccardi (Bocconi) "Distributed Self-Stabilizing MIS Algorithms" Abstract: I will discuss self-stabilizing distributed algorithms that find a Maximal Independent Set in an n-vertex graph. These algorithms share the feature of utilizing randomization to break symmetry. I will compare them based on the following parameters: the number of states used by each node, the knowledge of the graph required by each node, and their stabilization time. The first three algorithms are obtained by reconsidering some existing algorithms and making them self-stabilizing by introducing additional states. The first algorithm gets along with three states, but each node must have knowledge of ∆, the maximum node degree. In the second algorithm, nodes only need to be aware of their degree, but each node v has O(∆(v)) states, where ∆(v) is the degree of v. The third algorithm also requires O(∆(v)) states for each node v, but it works in the restricted beeping communication model. All three algorithms stabilize in O(log n) rounds with high probability. Lastly, I will talk about two algorithms that aim to create self-stabilizing algorithms with a constant number of states while requiring no knowledge of the underlying graph. The first algorithm is a natural process that, despite its simplicity, has received limited attention in the literature. It stabilizes in O(polylog(n)) rounds for specific graph families but may exhibit slower convergence time on general graphs. The final algorithm is a modification of this simple process, that tries to fix the particular situations that slow down the convergence. We encourage in-person partecipation.

One world probability seminar October 19th
by Alberto Chiarini 16 Oct '23

16 Oct '23

Ricevo e inoltro: ------------------------------------------------------ Dear all. The next session of the One World Probability Seminar will be on October 19 (Thursday) from 14:00 to 16:00 UTC.The speakers of this session are Martin Hairer (Imperial College and EPFL) and Hao Shen (Wisconsin-Madison). Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be also found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. Kind regards, Ilya Chevyrev and Julio Backhoff. Talk 1 : Stochastic quantization of Yang-Mills Speaker : Martin Hairer Abstract : We report on recent progress on the problem of building a stochastic process that admits the (hypothetical in 3D) Yang-Mills measure as its invariant measure. One interesting feature of our construction is that it preserves gauge-covariance in the limit even though it is broken by our UV regularisation. This is based on joint work with Ajay Chandra, Ilya Chevyrev, and Hao Shen. Talk 2 : Invariant measure and universality of the 2D Yang-Mills Langevin dynamic Speaker: Hao Shen Abstract : In [CCHS20] by Chandra, Chevyrev, Hairer and S., a Langevin dynamic for 2D Yang-Mills (YM) was constructed on 2D torus. In this talk we discuss some new results based on a joint paper with Chevyrev [CS22]. We prove that the 2D YM measure is invariant for the Langevin dynamic constructed in [CCHS20]. Our argument relies on a combination of regularity structures, lattice gauge-fixing, and Bourgain’s method for invariant measures. In particular, we prove a universality result which states that for a wide class of lattice YM gauge theories, their corresponding Langevin dynamics converge to the same continuum dynamic constructed in [CCHS20]. An important step is a proof of uniqueness for the mass renormalisation of the gauge-covariant continuum Langevin dynamic, which allows us to identify the limit of discrete approximations. As corollaries we obtain a gauge-fixed decomposition of the YM measure into a Gaussian free field and an almost Lipschitz remainder, and a proof of universality for the 2D YM measure under a wide class of discrete approximations.
