MOX COLLOQUIUM - 10.04.25 ore 14:30 – Mihaela van der Schaar
by Laura Maria Sangalli 27 Mar '25

27 Mar '25

Cari Colleghi, vi segnalo il seguente seminario, in modalità ibrida, della serie dei MOX COLLOQUIA: 10.04.25 Ore 14:30 - Aula IV, Edificio 11, Politecnico di Milano Speaker: Mihaela van der Schaar, Faculty of Mathematics, University of Cambridge Titolo: Can we discover fundamental laws from data using AI? Abstract: Discovering fundamental laws governing systems from observational data has long been a hallmark of scientific inquiry. In this talk, I will discuss how recent advances in AI and machine learning enable the automated discovery of scientific laws and governing equations directly from data, revolutionizing the way we unravel system dynamics in numerous domains, including medicine and pharmacology. I will highlight how AI-driven methods uncover underlying principles, from classical physics to biological systems to medicine, and offer insights into future possibilities—transforming data-driven observations into interpretable and actionable scientific knowledge. Yet, can we push this boundary further—going beyond equations entirely? I will introduce direct semantic modeling, a novel paradigm where AI learns the behavior of dynamical systems directly from data without relying on closed-form equations. This semantic approach offers intuitive, human-interpretable insights into system evolution, marking a transformative leap in scientific discovery. (This talk is based on recent research with Krzysztof Kacprzyk, Tennison Liu and Sam Holt.) Il seminario sarà accessibile online: https://mox.polimi.it/mox-colloquia-seminars-list/mox-seminars/?id_evento=2… https://cassyni.com/events/SAFbogPTLoJ6dkTvUoNtWy Seguirà rinfresco.

QFinLab Seminar - Claudio Fontana (Università di Padova) - 2/4/2025, 12:15 @ Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano
by Alessandro Calvia 27 Mar '25

27 Mar '25

Dear colleagues, you are all invited to participate in the following seminar organized by QFinLab - Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano. Wednesday, 2 April 2025, 12.15-13.15 Seminar room, third floor, building 14, Via Bonardi 9, Milano (Leonardo Campus) Claudio Fontana (Università di Padova) Title: A stochastic Gordon-Loeb model for optimal security investment under clustered cyber-attacks. Abstract: We propose a continuous-time extension of the Gordon-Loeb model for optimal investment in information security under the threat of cyber-attacks. The arrival of attacks is modeled using Hawkes processes, capturing the realistic feature of clustering in cyber-attacks. Each attack may lead to a system breach, with the probability of breach depending on the system's vulnerability. We aim at determining the optimal investment in cyber-security to reduce the system's vulnerability. The problem is formulated as a two-dimensional Markovian stochastic control problem and solved via dynamic programming techniques. We perform a numerical study of the value function and the associated optimal investment strategy in cyber-security, highlighting the impact of randomly arriving clustered cyber-attacks. Based on a joint work with G. Callegaro, C. Hillairet, B. Ongarato. Next seminar: Alessandro Sbuelz (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore), 7 May 12.15. All news can be found on the QFinLab webpage<https://www.qfinlab.polimi.it/seminars-and-meetings/>. The organizers: Michele Azzone and Alessandro Calvia.

Fwd: International Seminar on SDEs ... : Apr 11: Arnaud Debussche
by Gianmario Tessitore - UNIMIB 26 Mar '25

26 Mar '25

Diffondo volentieri ---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: Stefan Geiss <geiss(a)jyu.fi> Date: Mer 26 Mar 2025, 07:15 Subject: International Seminar on SDEs ... : Apr 11: Arnaud Debussche To: <gianmario.tessitore(a)unimib.it> Best regards, Stefan Dear Colleague, tomorrow, Friday, April 11 , (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 Apr 11, 2025 *Arnaud Debussche* (ENS Rennes, France) will speak about *From correlated to white transport noise in fluid models* Abstract: Stochastic fluid models with transport noise are popular, the transport noise models unresolved small scales. The main assumption in these models is a very strong separation of scales allowing this representation of small scales by white - i.e. fully decorrelated - noise. It is therefore natural to investigate whether these models are limits of models with correlated noises. Also, an advantage of correlated noises is that they allow classical calculus. In particular, it allows to revisit the derivation of stochastic models from variational principles and allows to derive an equation for the evolution of the noise components. The advantage of having such an equation is that in most works, the noise components are considered as given and stationary with respect to time which is non realistic. Coupling stochastic fluid models with these gives more realistic systems. ===== about the speaker ==== Arnaud Debussche is a prominent French mathematician specializing in stochastic partial differential equations and their applications. Born in 1965, he attended the École Normale Supérieure de Saint-Cloud,where he pursued advanced studies in mathematics. He earned his Ph.D. from Université d'Orsay in 1989.

Seminario PRISMA lunedì 7 aprile 2025 - S. Favaro & M. Beraha
by Sonia Mazzucchi 24 Mar '25

24 Mar '25

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium" per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Da quest'anno le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb Il prossimo appuntamento è per lunedì 7 aprile 2025. I relatori saranno Stefano Favaro (Università di Torino) e Mario Beraha (Università di Milano Bicocca) che parleranno di: *Il modello di Ewens-Pitman per partizioni aleatorie e la sua (naturale) estensione alle allocazioni aleatorie* 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://unitn.zoom.us/j/87150580430 ID riunione: 871 5058 0430 Codice d’accesso: 591823 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Sonia Mazzucchi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Stefano Favaro (Università di Torino) e Mario Beraha (Università di Milano Bicocca) TITOLO: Il modello di Ewens-Pitman per partizioni aleatorie e la sua (naturale) estensione alle allocazioni aleatorie RIASSUNTO: Nella prima parte del seminario verrà introdotto il modello di Ewens-Pitman per partizioni aleatorie, presentandone una caratterizzazione in termini di sufficienza predittiva nell’ambito della classe dei modelli di campionamento di specie. Successivamente, verrà offerta una panoramica sui principali teoremi limite relativi al numero di blocchi e blocchi con molteplicità della partizione di Ewens-Pitman, con particolare attenzione alle fluttuazioni quasi-certe, ai principi di grandi deviazioni e alle fluttuazioni Gaussiane. Infine, si illustrerà un’applicazione del modello di Ewens-Pitman alla soluzione Bayesiana del problema della stima della “missing mass”, noto come problema di Good-Turing, e della stima del “unseen”, o problema di Fisher-Efron. Nella seconda parte del seminario si parlerà di allocazioni aleatorie; un’allocazione di N oggetti è un multi-insieme di sottoinsiemi non vuoti degli N oggetti che, al contrario di una partizione, possono non essere mutuamente esclusivi o esaustivi. Partendo dal modello Indian buffet di Ghahramani e Griffiths, che costituisce il naturale analogo del modello di Ewens nel caso di allocazioni, verranno presentati alcuni risultati sull’analisi Bayesiana di allocazioni aleatorie. In particolare, verranno discusse caratterizzazioni di sufficienza predittiva per allocazioni aleatorie, che generalizzano i corrispondenti risultati sui modelli di campionamento di specie. Due illustrazioni relative al problema delle “missing features” verranno descritte. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

OWABI - Meïli Baragatti - March 27 - 11am UK time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 24 Mar '25

24 Mar '25

Dear all, the next OWABI seminar www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc> is quickly approaching, being scheduled on Thursday the 27th March at 11am UK time. Our next speaker is Meïli Baragatti<https://www.vinifera-euromaster.eu/team/meili-baragatti/> (Université de Montpellier), who will talk about "Approximate Bayesian Computation with Deep Learning and Conformal Prediction", with an abstract reported below. Abstract: Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) methods are commonly used to approximate posterior distributions in models with unknown or computationally intractable likelihoods. Classical ABC methods are based on nearest neighbor type algorithms and rely on the choice of so-called summary statistics, distances between datasets and a tolerance threshold. Recently, methods combining ABC with more complex machine learning algorithms have been proposed to mitigate the impact of these "user-choices''. In this talk, I will present you the first, to our knowledge, ABC method completely free of summary statistics, distance, and tolerance threshold. Moreover, in contrast with usual generalizations of the ABC method, it associates a confidence interval (having a proper frequentist marginal coverage) with the posterior mean estimation (or other moment-type estimates). This method, named ABCD-Conformal, uses a neural network with Monte Carlo Dropout to provide an estimation of the posterior mean (or other moment type functionals), and conformal theory to obtain associated confidence sets. I will compare its performances with other ABC methods on several examples, and show you that it is efficient for estimating multidimensional parameters, while being "amortized". Keywords: Likelihood-free inference · Approximate Bayesian computation · Convolutional neural networks · Dropout · Conformal prediction Reference: M. Baragatti, B. Cloez, D. M´etivier, I. Sanchez.

Seminario Lorenzo dello Schiavo
by Gustavo Posta 20 Mar '25

20 Mar '25

Nell'ambito delle attività del Progetto di Eccellenza 2023-2027 del Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Castelnuovo" il professor Lorenzo dello Schiavo, Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata, terrà 2 seminari nell'aula L del Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Castelnuovo" il 2 aprile 2025 alle 16:00 e il 10 aprile 2025 alle 14:30 dal titolo Massive particle systems, Wasserstein Brownian motions, and the Dean–Kawasaki equation (Part I & II) Sunto: Let W be a conservative, ergodic Markov diffusion on some arbitrary state space M, converging exponentially fast to equilibrium. We consider: (1) Systems of up to countably many massive particles in M, with finite total mass. Each particle is subject to an independent instance of the noise W, with volatility the inverse mass carried by the particle. We prove that the corresponding infinite system of SDEs has a unique solution, for every starting configuration and every distribution of the masses in the infinite simplex. (2) Solutions to the Dean--Kawasaki SPDE with singular drift, driven by the generator L of W. We prove that the equation may be given rigorous meaning on M, and that it has a unique `distributional’ solution. This extends Konarovskyi--Lehmann--von Renesse's `ill-posedness vs. triviality' to the case of infinitely many massive particles. (3) Diffusions with values in the space P of all probability measures on M, driven by the geometry induced by L. (4) In the case when M is a manifold, differential-geometric and metric-measure Brownian motions on P induced by the geometry of optimal transportation and reversible for a normalized completely random measure. We show that all these objects coincide. The first talk will survey general aspects of the constructions, mostly focussing on (1) and (3). The second talk will focus on (2) and explain its relations with known results about the Dean–Kawasaki equation. Gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Gustavo Posta Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma "la Sapienza" P.le A.

Seminar Sirio Legramanti @Luiss
by Alessia Caponera 17 Mar '25

17 Mar '25

Dear all, The Department of Economics and Finance at Luiss University in Rome (*https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it <https://economiaefinanza.luiss.it/>*) is pleased to announce the following seminar: *Speaker*: Sirio Legramanti, University of Bergamo *Title*: Concentration of discrepancy-based approximate Bayesian computation via Rademacher complexity *When*: March 27, 14:30 *Where*: Viale Romania, 32 00197 Rome *Meeting room*: 405 *Abstract*: There has been an increasing interest on summary-free solutions for approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) that replace distances among summaries with discrepancies between the empirical distributions of the observed data and the synthetic samples generated under the proposed parameter values. The success of these strategies has motivated theoretical studies on the limiting properties of the induced posteriors. However, there is still the lack of a theoretical framework for summary-free ABC that (i) is unified, instead of discrepancy-specific, (ii) does not necessarily require to constrain the analysis to data generating processes and statistical models meeting specific regularity conditions, but rather facilitates the derivation of limiting properties that hold uniformly, and (iii) relies on verifiable assumptions that provide more explicit concentration bounds clarifying which factors govern the limiting behavior of the ABC posterior. We address this gap via a novel theoretical framework that introduces the concept of Rademacher complexity in the analysis of the limiting properties for discrepancy-based ABC posteriors, including in non-i.i.d. and misspecified settings. This yields a unified theory that relies on constructive arguments and provides more informative asymptotic results and uniform concentration bounds, even in those settings not covered by current studies. These key advancements are obtained by relating the asymptotic properties of summary-free ABC posteriors to the behavior of the Rademacher complexity associated with the chosen discrepancy within the family of integral probability semimetrics (IPS). The IPS class extends summary-based distances, and also includes the widely implemented Wasserstein distance and maximum mean discrepancy (MMD), among others. As clarified in specialized theoretical analyses of popular IPS discrepancies and via illustrative simulations, this new perspective improves the understanding of summary-free ABC. Joint work with Daniele Durante and Pierre Alquier. Main reference: https://doi.org/10.1214/24-AOS2453 *Should you be interested, please kindly send me an e-mail.* Best wishes, Alessia Caponera
