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. A taste of the topic treated in
this course can be sampled from the cover story in the Fields Notes, Vol.
12:4, Spring/Summer 2024.

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

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

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.

We apologize for multiple postings and kindly request students and researchers who might be interested to participate.
We are pleased to announce the PhD course "Theoretical Foundations of Machine Learning" ( https://tinyurl.com/2s3jtfnp).
The course is organized by MaLGa - Machine Learning Genoa Center, as part of the ELLIS Genoa unit activities, and is taught
by Ernesto De Vito, Lorenzo Rosasco, and Silvia Villa.
The objective of the course is to introduce the mathematical framework and key foundational results in Machine Learning Theory.
In particular, the course will present the statistical learning theory framework with empirical risk minimization and regularization as
guiding principles for algorithm design. Linear and nonlinear models will be discussed, including neural networks and kernel methods
(reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces). The course will cover optimization aspects, discussing and analyzing stochastic gradient methods
and backpropagation. Additionally, it will cover the error analysis of different algorithms, considering both statistical and approximation
theory aspects.
Further advanced topics will be covered in a half-day workshop by Nicolò Cesa-Bianchi (UniMi) and Andrea Agazzi (UniBe).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Format:
The course will consist of 28 hours, held from June 23 to June 27, 2025, at the DIBRIS/DIMA@UNIGE building,
Via Dodecaneso 35, 16146 Genoa, Italy.
Lessons will be in-person only.
Participants will receive a certificate of attendance upon completing the course.
