Seminario GHOSHAL

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Venerdì 14 Giugno 2019, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Subhashis GHOSHAL (North Carolina State University) POSTERIOR CONTRACTION AND CREDIBLE SETS FOR FILAMENTS OF REGRESSION FUNCTIONS The filament of a smooth function f consists of local maximizers of f when moving in a certain direction. The filament is an important geometrical feature of the surface of the graph of a function. It is also considered as an important lower dimensional summary in analyzing multivariate data. There have been some recent theoretical studies on estimating filaments of a density function using a nonparametric kernel density estimator. In this talk, we consider a Bayesian approach and concentrate on the nonparametric regression problem. We study the posterior contraction rates for filaments using a finite random series of B-splines prior on the regression function. Compared with the kernel method, this has the advantage that the bias can be better controlled when the function is smoother, which allows obtaining better rates. Under an isotropic Holder smoothness condition, we obtain the posterior contraction rate for the filament under two different metrics — a distance of separation along an integral curve, and the Hausdorff distance between sets. Moreover, we construct credible sets of optimal size for the filament with sufficient frequentist coverage. We study the performance of our proposed method through a simulation study and apply on a dataset on California earthquakes to assess the fault-line of the maximum local earthquake intensity. ------------------------------------------------ Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto. Cordiali saluti, Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it

seminario Georg Pflug in Bicocca
by Fabio Bellini 31 May '19

31 May '19

Il giorno giovedì 6 giugno alle ore 10.30 presso la Aula Seminari 4026 del DISMEQ, al IV piano dell'edificio U7, il prof. Georg Pflug della Università di Vienna terrà un seminario su Model uncertainty in option pricing: challenging the Black-Scholes formula Abstract It is well known that the validity of the Black-Scholes (BS) formula is restricted to the case, when the Market model is a geometric Brownian motion and therefore admits only one Martingale measure. We consider the situation, when the decision is made on the basis of an acceptability measure (the dual of a risk measure) and the market model is not exactly known, but it is known that it belongs to some ambiguity set of models. We demonstrate that in this case a nonzero bid-ask spread appears, even if the market model is close to the BS model. The bid-ask spread increases with the degree of model uncertainty, but decreases with the acceptability level. The results are based on a duality theorem for ambiguous decisions. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. -- Prof. Fabio Bellini Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods University of Milano-Bicocca Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi 8, 20126 Milano 0039-2-64483119 http://scholar.google.it/citations?user=P61L8P4AAAAJ&hl=it

The application should contain: * a motivation letter demonstrating motivation, academic strengths and related experience to this position. * CV including publication list * at least two major publications in pdf * minimum 2 reference letters *Project abstract* Curvilinear structure networks are widespread in both nature and anthropogenic systems, ranging from angiography, earth and environment sciences, to biology and anthropogenic activities. Recovering the existence and architecture of these curvilinear networks is an essential and fundamental task in all the related domains. At present, there has been an explosion of image data documenting these curvilinear structure networks. Therefore, it is of upmost importance to develop numerical approaches that may assist us efficiently to automatically extract curvilinear networks from image data. In recent years, a bulk of works have been proposed to extract curvilinear networks. However, automated and high-quality curvilinear network extraction is still a challenging task nowadays. This is mainly due to the network shape complexity, low-contrast in images, and high annotation cost for training data. To address the problems aroused by these difficulties, this project intends to develop a novel, minimally-supervised curvilinear network extraction method by combining deep neural networks with active learning, where the deep neural networks are employed to automatically learn hierarchical and data-driven features of curvilinear networks, and the active learning is exploited to achieve high-quality extraction using as few annotations as possible. Furthermore, composite and hierarchical heuristic rules will be designed to constrain the geometry of curvilinear structures and guide the curvilinear graph growing. The proposed approach will be tested and validated on extraction of tectonic fractures and faults from a dense collection of satellite and aerial data and “ground truth” available at the Géoazur laboratory in the framework of the Faults_R_Gems project co-funded by the University Côte d’Azur (UCA) and the French National Research Agency (ANR). Then we intend to apply the new automatic extraction approaches to other scenarios, as road extraction in remote sensing images of the Nice region, and blood vessel extraction in available medical image databases. phone: +33 4 92 38 78 65, fax: +33 4 92 38 78 58 email: Josiane.Zerubia(a)inria.fr web: http://www-sop.inria.fr/members/Josiane.Zerubia/index-eng.html -- Josiane Zerubia INRIA Sophia-Antipolis Méditerranée BP 93, 2004 Route des Lucioles 06902 Sophia-Antipolis Cedex - France
