Seminario: Samuele Stivanello, Ecology of human activities
by Antonio Pievatolo 11 Jun '19

11 Jun '19

Lunedi' 17 giugno alle 14:45, presso il CNR-IMATI, in via A. Corti, 12, Milano, Aula Pentagonale edificio Bassini II piano, si terrà il seguente seminario: Samuele Stivanello, Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita' di Padova Title: Ecology of human activities Abstract: One of the most studied macro-ecological pattern is the Relative Species Abundance (RSA), describing the distribution of the population among species. Various natural ecosystems share a common shape of the empirical RSA and through years ecologists have used several recipes - some of them are rule of thumb prescriptions - to determine global RSA features from local information. Recently our group has developed a rigorous statistical framework able to predict global scale biodiversity from scattered local plots ([2], [3]). Such a framework is derived from a simple mathematical model informed by basic biological assumptions. In this talk we illustrate how to adapt/generalize such an approach to human activities. In particular we consider four datasets of man-made systems and/or network mediated human activities: e-mail communication, Twitter posts, Wikipedia articles and Gutenberg books. Once we set the proper correspondence to what we consider species and individuals of a species, our approach reveals RSA is scale-free in each mentioned dataset with a power law form maintained - with roughly the same exponent - through the different human activities considered. In turn, RSA scale-invariance allows us to use activity information on local scale to predict hidden features of the human dynamics at the global scale. E-mail communication is particular relevant to illustrate our method as well as our results and possible applications. We consider the senders’ activity network where each node is a sender and a directed link from node A to node B represents an email issued from user A to user B. We set the identity of a sender to identify the species and the number of sent emails to be the individuals pertaining to a species. Thus, for instance, if user A has sent n emails we say that the species A has n individuals. Now, suppose an observer has access to a small sample of sent emails, or equivalently to partial information on links and nodes of the email communication network. Our method is capable to infer the number of nodes (i.e. the number of users) and the degree distribution (i.e. the topology) of the whole network, thus revealing features of the dynamics unknown to the observer. Moreover, our framework predicts how the number of users grows with the number of links recorded, which represents another well known pattern in ecology called the Species-Accumulation Curve (SAC). These findings may have applications in resource management, optimal network design and information diffusion on graphs. This is a work in collaboration with M. Formentin, A. Tovo and S. Favaro [1].

Set valued risk measures and Systemic risk measures at LUISS
by Sara 10 Jun '19

10 Jun '19

On July 2 from 10:30 to 13:00 - Room 207, at LUISS, viale Romania 32, Roma, prof. Cagin Ararat from Bilkent University will give two talks: Talk I Title: Set-valued quasiconvex risk measures Abstract: Set-valued risk measures are defined naturally in environments where it is necessary to measure the risk of a random vector. In this talk, we consider set-valued risk measures that are defined as compositions of two set-valued functions. This class of risk measures is rich enough to cover many examples of the systemic risk measures studied in the recent literature. We pay special attention to the properties of the constituent set-valued functions that guarantee the quasiconvexity of the composite risk measure. It turns out that the so-called natural quasiconvexity property, an old but not so well-known property between convexity and quasiconvexity, plays a key role in the study of these risk measures. The main results provide dual representations for quasiconvex, naturally quasiconvex and convex compositions in terms of the dual functions of the constituents. Talk II Title: Computation of systemic risk measures Abstract: Various approaches to measure systemic risk have been proposed in the recent literature using multivariate functionals. These functionals are typically defined in terms of a so-called aggregation function, which takes into account the interconnectedness of the institutions in the network, and a univariate risk measure applied to the random output of the aggregation function. In this talk, we specialize into the Eisenberg-Noe and Rogers-Veraart network models and formulate the corresponding systemic risk measures as large-scale vector optimization problems. While the former model yields a convex problem which can be solved efficiently using non-smooth optimization techniques, the efficient frontier for the latter model turns out to be the boundary of a non-convex set. -- Sara Biagini, Professor of Mathematical Finance Department of Economics and Finance LUISS Guido Carli Address: viale Romania, 32 - 00197 Roma Web: http://sites.google.com/site/sarabiagini/

seminario Drivas a Pisa
by Marco Romito 09 Jun '19

09 Jun '19

dear all this is to announce that Theodore Drivas (Princeton University) will give a talk on *next Wednesday, June 12* at 11am in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Pisa (largo B. Pontecorvo 5, 56127 Pisa). cheers m. *Title*: /Spontaneously stochastic solutions in dynamical systems with singularities/ *Abstract*: We consider a class of dynamical systems described by ordinary differential equations with an isolated singularity, where the singularity is characterized by the lack of Lipschitz continuity. Singularities are common in applications both for ODEs (e.g., particles collisions) and PDEs (e.g., finite-time blowup in fluid models). The fundamental obstacle is that solutions cannot be continued past the singularity uniquely: typically, there are infinitely many solutions. The conventional way to proceed is to define a regularization limit, such as vanishing viscosity or noise. It turns out that there are structurally stable situations when such a limit is not sensitive to a particular form of the regularization. This is explained by the analysis of attractors for the rescaled (non-singular) dynamical system and their ergodic properties. What is even more surprising is that solutions in this limit may become probabilistic (spontaneously stochastic) with the unique probability measure past the singularity. We will present rigorous results and discuss applications of this phenomenon.

Statistics Seminars 2019 Martedì 11 Giugno 2019 ore 14,30 Aula III, secondo piano, Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche "Optimal approximation of (anticipating) SDEs" Dott. Peter Parczewski, Mannheim University Abstract We present a general mean squared error expansion for optimal approximation of Wiener functionals based on finite and equidistant observations of the Brownian motion.The expansion is given in terms of Malliavin calculus and the terms involved exhibit Hilbert space structures. This gives lower error bounds for arbitrary numerical schemes which are constructed from an equidistant information of the Brownian motion. Due to this expansion we are able to recover and improve many results on optimal approximation of Ito SDEs and anticipating SDEs, where the integral is interpreted in Skorohod sense, a mean zero extension of the Ito integral to nonadapted integrands.

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.

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

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

The PhD project consists in developing novel algorithms for Probabilistic (aka Stochastic) Domain Decomposition (PDD), as well as helping in the coding of a C++/MPI library for PDD. The work load of the selected candidate will be equally split between both tasks. The ultimate goal is to produce a large-scale proof of concept of the method and compete for the Gordon Bell Prize for Parallel Computing. There is also the possibility of teaching at the Engineering School of UC3M. This area of research lies in the overlap of stochastic calculus, numerical methods for PDEs, high-performance parallel computing and scientific software development. Candidates are expected to have a background in applied mathematics (specially PDEs and numerics), as well as in scientific programming. Knowledge of stochastic processes, experience in C++, Matlab and MPI, and/or previous research experience in applied maths are a definite plus. The selected candidate will be supervised during her/his PhD by Dr. Francisco Bernal. PhD is expected to take 3-4 years, and it is funded by the Talento Program of the Madrid Regional Government (Project 2018-T1/TIC-10914). Selection will take place based on academic excellence and suitability for the PhD position. Minimum qualifications are: an official university degree in Maths, Statistics, Physics, Computer Science or Engineering with at least 300 ECTS credits, and being fluent in spoken and written English (Spanish is a plus). Candidates must first be admitted in the PhD Program in Mathematical Enginnering <https://www.uc3m.es/ss/Satellite/Doctorado/en/Detalle/Estudio_C/14225881640…>, see full requirements below <https://www.uc3m.es/ss/Satellite/Doctorado/en/Detalle/Estudio_C/14225881640…> : https://www.uc3m.es/ss/Satellite/Doctorado/en/Detalle/Estudio_C/14225881640… This PhD Program sports an official quality distinction.

Seminario Vlad Bally a Roma Tor Vergata
by Anna Vidotto 28 May '19

28 May '19

Dear all, I would like to announce the following talk that will be held on Friday June 7th 2019, at 4:30 PM, in Aula D’Antoni (1101) of the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome Tor Vergata. Speaker: Vlad Bally (Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée) Title: Convergence in Distribution Norms in the CLT and Application to Trigonometric Polynomials Abstract: Under some regularity condition on the random variables at hand, we prove convergence in distribution norms in the CLT and we also derive some local developments (Edgeworth expansions). We use these results in order to study the asymptotic behavior of the number of roots of trigonometric polynomials with random coefficients. — This talk is part of the activity of the MIUR Excellence Department Project CUP E83C18000100006 — Kind regards, Anna Vidotto --------- Anna Vidotto PostDoc Researcher Dipartimento di Matematica Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata https://sites.google.com/view/annavidotto
