by Alberto Lanconelli 12 Jun '25

12 Jun '25

Dear all, this is to bring to your attention the call for papers for a special issue in Mathematics, with title: Mathematical and Computational Modelling in Empirical and Applied Science The deadline for submissions is 31 October 2025. More details can be found at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/mathematics/special_issues/Computational_Model… and below. Best wishes.. Giulia Spaletta, Margherita Carletti, Alberto Lanconelli (Guest Editors) Mathematics an Open Access Journal by MDPI Impact Factor 2.3 CiteScore 4.6 mdpi.com/si/227288 Message from the Guest Editors Life sciences have become central in scientific research over recent years, both for their wide range of advanced applications and for their usefulness in the treatment of complex and/or rare diseases that affect humans. Experimentalists in biology and, more generally, in the natural and applied sciences increasingly look to the simulation methods and tools that mathematicians, statisticians, and computer scientists can offer, in attempts to obtain in-depth information on the physical phenomena in which they are involved. To accomplish this task, modeling is confirmed as an essential step with which to gain insights and acquire knowledge on the phenomena considered, describe the related processes of interest, and make predictions. Contributions are therefore welcome regarding applications of mathematics to real-life situations and, above all, to natural and applied science, particularly computational biology and biotechnology, but also physics and medicine. Also of interest are applications involving complex and/or high-dimensional data or dynamics arising in the social sciences, especially economics devoted to health and lifestyle aspects.

Save the date: OWABI live from BayesComp - 19th June 1pm UK time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 09 Jun '25

09 Jun '25

Dear all, the next OWABI seminar https://www.warwick.ac.uk/owabi, the last of this Season, is also going to be a special one, featuring two selected talks live from BayesComp https://bayescomp2025.sg/! The two talks are scheduled on Thursday the 19th June at 1pm UK time (note the different date and time!), given by * Filippo Pagani (University of Warwick): Approximate Bayesian Fusion * Maurizio Filippone (KAUST): GANs Secretly Perform Approximate Bayesian Model Selection with abstracts reported below. The talks will be streamed on Zoom at the link: https://monash.zoom.us/j/81050994376?pwd=aF52Ab2oUlNYPO251d4nDw0jXRemia.1<https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fmonash.zoom.us%2Fj%2F81050994376…> Meeting ID: 810 5099 4376 Passcode: 137607 1st OWABI Talk: 1-1.30pm Uk time Speaker: Filippo Pagani<https://filippopagani.github.io/> (University of Warwick) Title: Approximate Bayesian Fusion Abstract: Bayesian Fusion is a powerful approach that enables distributed inference while maintaining exactness. However, the approach is computationally expensive. In this work, we propose a novel method that incorporates numerical approximations to alleviate the most computationally expensive steps, thereby achieving substantial reductions in runtime. Our approach retains the flexibility to approximate the target posterior distribution to an arbitrary degree of accuracy, and is scalable with respect to both the size of the dataset and the number of computational cores. Our method offers a practical and efficient alternative for large-scale Bayesian inference in distributed environments. 2nd OWABI Talk: 1.30-2pm Uk time Speaker: Maurizio Filippone<https://www.kaust.edu.sa/en/study/faculty/maurizio-filippone> (KAUST) Title: Approximate Bayesian Fusion Abstract: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are popular models achieving impressive performance in various generative modeling tasks. In this work, we aim at explaining the undeniable success of GANs by interpreting them as probabilistic generative models. In this view, GANs transform a distribution over latent variables Z into a distribution over inputs X through a function parameterized by a neural network, which is usually referred to as the generator. This probabilistic interpretation enables us to cast the GAN adversarial-style optimization as a proxy for marginal likelihood optimization. More specifically, it is possible to show that marginal likelihood maximization with respect to model parameters is equivalent to the minimization of the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence between the true data generating distribution and the one modeled by the GAN. By replacing the KL divergence with other divergences and integral probability metrics we obtain popular variants of GANs such as f-GANs, Wasserstein-GANs, and Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD)-GANs. This connection has profound implications because of the desirable properties associated with marginal likelihood optimization, such as (i) lack of overfitting, which explains the success of GANs, and (ii) allowing for model selection, which opens to the possibility of obtaining parsimonious generators through architecture search. We are looking forward to seeing you at the next OWABI seminar(s), best, Massimiliano on the behalf of the OWABI Organisers ------ Dr. Massimiliano Tamborrino Reader (Associate Professor) and WIHEA Fellow Department of Statistics University of Warwick https://warwick.ac.uk/tamborrino

QFinLab Seminar - Marco Tolotti (Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia) - 9/6/2025, 12:15 @ Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandro Calvia 05 Jun '25

05 Jun '25

Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Monday, 9 June 2025, 12.15-13.15 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus) Marco Tolotti (Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia) Title: Market Dynamics, Learning, and the Equity Premium Puzzle in an Agent-Based Model of Information Acquisition. Abstract: We analyze a financial market with a large number of investors who use an imitation-based learning mechanism to choose among various strategies that differ in the amount and quality of information they incorporate. Agents’ strategies evolve through a straightforward learning mechanism in which traders occasionally imitate more successful strategies adopted by peers they encounter. In this context, equilibrium is defined as a state where investors, on average, win half the time and lose in the remaining periods. Through an agent-based model, we show that at equilibrium, most investors rely on a limited number of strategies. In most scenarios, two strategies dominate: overly cautious traders, who hold little equity and capture the largest market share, and informed traders, who achieve higher average profits. Our model can help to justify the existence of an equity premium puzzle: in equilibrium, the higher mean profit of informed investors is associated with a median profit that is equal to that of more prudent or misinformed investors. All news can be found on the QFinLab webpage<https://www.qfinlab.polimi.it/seminars-and-meetings/>. The organizers: Michele Azzone and Alessandro Calvia.

Seminario Anderson Melchor Hernandez - Politecnico di Milano - 12 Giugno 2025
by Luca Scarpa 04 Jun '25

04 Jun '25

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Giovedì 12 Giugno 2025, ore 11:00. Aula Seminari III Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Anderson Melchor Hernandez, Università di Bologna. Title: Convergence of quantum neural networks at infinite width Abstract: Quantum neural networks constitute the quantum version of deep neural models. These new models are based on quantum circuits and generate functions given by the expectation values of a quantum observable measured on the output of a quantum circuit made by parametric one-qubit and two-qubit gates. The parameters of the circuit encode both the input data and the parameters of the model itself. These parameters are typically optimized by gradient descent, which involves iterative adjustment to minimize a cost function and improve the performance of the quantum circuit in the processing and analysis of data. Significant progress has been made in addressing the question of whether training can perfectly fit the training examples while simultaneously avoiding overfitting. A fundamental breakthrough has been the proof that, in the limit of infinite width, the probability distribution of the function generated by a deep neural network trained on a supervised learning problem converges to a Gaussian process. Recent developments have inspired renewed interest in quantum machine learning, raising the question of whether quantum neural networks exhibit analogous properties. In this presentation, I will explore some of the recent advancements in this area, highlighting key insights and findings. This talk is based on joint collaborations with Giacomo de Palma, Filippo Girardi, and Davide Pastorello.

In recent years, with the rapid progress in the study of the hydrodynamics of integrable systems, there has been a growing interest in BBS with random initial distribution. In this talk, we consider the scaling limits for a tagged soliton in the BBS starting from certain stationary distribution. This talk is based on a joint work with Stefano Olla and Makiko Sasada. Probabilistic aspects of integrable systems Makiko Sasada (University of Tokyo) The KdV equation and the Toda lattice are classical integrable systems, with the box-ball system (BBS) as their ultra-discrete analogue. The BBS has been studied from various viewpoints such as tropical geometry, combinatorics, and cellular-automaton. Recently, probabilistic approaches to the BBS—such as the Pitman transform and analysis of i.i.d.-type invariant measures—have advanced rapidly and are also applicable to discrete KdV and Toda systems. Connections to Yang-Baxter maps have further deepened this research topic. In this talk, I will provide an overview of these developments. This talk is based on joint works with David Croydon, Tsuyoshi Kato, Satoshi Tsujimoto, Ryosuke Uozumi, Hiroki Kondo and Sachiko Nakajima. https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92945513591?pwd=zjtRwpHoO9kRyQuPPj4o186jXrvg1v.1 Meeting ID: 92945513591 Passcode: 131676

Diffondo volentieri Mario ---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: Stefan Geiss <geiss(a)jyu.fi> Date: lun 2 giu 2025 alle ore 07:58 Subject: Fwd: International Seminar on SDEs and Related Topics: Rainer Buckdahn June 06 To: <gianmario.tessitore(a)unimib.it> Dear Mario, we got the info for next week's talk. Best wishes Stefan ------------------------------------------------ Friday, June 06, (12:30 noon London, 1:30 pm Berlin, 2:30 pm Helsinki, 7:30 pm Beijing) in the *International Seminar on SDEs and Related Topics* in Zoom https://jyufi.zoom.us/j/61891007917 *Rainer Buckdahn* (Université de Bretagne Occidentale, Brest, France, Shandong University Qingdao, China) will speak about *Optimal control problems with generalized mean-field dynamics* *and viscosity solutions to a Master Bellman equation* Abstract: We study an optimal control problem with generalized mean-field dynamics with open-loop controls, where the coefficients depend not only on the state processes and controls, but also on the joint law of them. The value function V which is defined in a classical way, does not satisfy the Dynamic Programming Principle (DPP for short). Indeed, we show that V solely satisfies the one-sided DPP. For this reason we introduce subtly a novel value function ϑ, which is closely related to the original value function V, so that a characterisation of ϑ as a solution of a partial differential equation (PDE) also characterises V. We establish the DPP for ϑ. By using an intrinsic notion of viscosity solution, initially introduced in Burzoni, Ignazio, Reppen and Soner and specifically tailored to our framework, we show that the value function ϑ is a viscosity solution to a Master Bellman equation on a subset of the Wasserstein space of probability measures with second order moment. The uniqueness of the viscosity solution is proved for coefficients which depend on the time and the joint law of the control process and the controlled process. The talk is based on joint work with Juan Li (SDU, Qingdao and Weihai) and Zhanxin Li (SDU, Weihai). ==== about the speaker ==== Rainer Buckdahn studied Mathematics at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena (Germany) and obtained his doctoral degree, directed by H.-J. Engelbert, in 1985. After that he held a position at the Humboldt University Berlin and completed his habilitation in 1992. In 1994 he became a professor at the University of Western Brittany (Brest, France). Rainer Buckdahn is a leading specialist in stochastic process theory with an emphasis on stochastic control and differential games, stochastic differential equations, various types of backward stochastic differential equations, and stochastic partial differential equations. Rainer Buckdahn was awarded a fellowship by the French Ministry of Research and Technology and a Heisenberg grant by the German "Deutsche Forschungsgesellschaft". He is also a member of the Academic Faculty of the "Research Centre for Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Sciences Centre" at Shandong University (China). Finally, he acts as executive editor of the journal "Probability, Uncertainty and Quantitative Risk". -- Gianmario Tessitore Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca

QFinLab Seminar - Olimpia Carradori (University of Zurich) - 5/6/2025, 12:15 @ Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandro Calvia 30 May '25

30 May '25

Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Thursday, 5 June 2025, 12.15-13.15 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus) Olimpia Carradori (University of Zurich) Title: Insurers' carbon underwriting policies Abstract: Insurance companies can influence the net-zero transition by limiting coverage for carbon-intensive projects. We study the adoption, structure, and effects of carbon underwriting policies among the world’s largest insurance groups. Using novel mine-level insurance data, we show that insurers with coal policies reduce the number of insured mines by approximately 16%, insured coal volumes by 56%, and make continued coverage significantly less likely. Implementation is often incomplete, and some insurers expand coverage despite commitments. Affected mines tend to reduce output, cut the number of employees, and are more likely to be idled in subsequent periods. Joint work with Felix von Meyerinck and Zacharias Sautner. All news can be found on the QFinLab webpage<https://www.qfinlab.polimi.it/seminars-and-meetings/>. Next seminar: Marco Tolotti (Università Ca' Foscari Venezia), 9 June 12.15.

cambio data - seminari a Pavia, 4 giugno
by Benedetta Ferrario 29 May '25

29 May '25

CAMBIO DATA: mercoledì 4 giugno (e non più 3 giugno) per i seguenti due seminari presso il Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Aziendali (aula E, piano terra) dell'Università di Pavia. *ore 13:30 *Hakima Bessaih (Florida International University) *titolo*: Dynamical systems with noisy data *abstract*: Reconstructing the state of a dynamical system from noisy observations is particularly challenging when the initial conditions are unknown. This talk focuses on synchronization-based and feedback control methods for data assimilation, which dynamically align model trajectories with observed data. Techniques such as nudging, observer-based schemes, and coupling strategies will be discussed, highlighting how they correct for uncertainty and stabilize the system in real time. Applications include chaotic systems and models governed by stochastic dynamics. *ore 14:30: *Sam Power (University of Bristol) *titolo*: Gradient Flow Methods for Statistical Computation - Trends and Trajectories *abstract*: When conducting statistical estimation and inference, it is relatively commonplace that the dominant computational burden takes the form of an optimisation task. This has long been recognised for tasks of parameter estimation, though there is an increasing recognition that other tasks of interest can be fruitfully interpreted as optimisation tasks over a space of probability measures, or even over some 'hybrid' space involving both parameters and measures. In this talk, I will survey some trends in this area, focusing on how this high-level perspective finds use in both analysis of popular existing algorithms and synthesis of novel algorithms. I will also highlight opportunities for future contributions in this fast-growing area. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
