Seminario ANTONIETTI (RGS & Matematica Applicata)
by Giacomo Aletti 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Con preghiera di diffusione tra tutti i possibili interessati, scusandomi per invii multipli. Cordialmente, Giacomo Aletti -------------- Nell'ambito dei Reading Group Seminars e del Seminario di Matematica Applicata, il giorno lunedì 19 Gennaio 2015, alle ore 14.30, nell'Aula C del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Via C. Saldini, 50, Milano, "Testing spiking neural network cerebellar model in closed-loop: three neurorobotic paradigms" Alberto ANTONIETTI Neuroengineering and medical robotics lab., Politecnico di Milano, ABSTRACT: The cerebellum is involved in a large number of different neural processes, especially in associative learning and in fine motor control. To develop a comprehensive theory of sensorimotor learning and control, it is crucial to determine the neural basis of coding and plasticity embedded into the cerebellar neural circuit and how they are translated into behavioral outcomes in learning paradigms. Learning has to be inferred from the interaction of an embodied system with its real environment, and the same cerebellar principles derived from cell physiology have to be able to drive a variety of tasks of different nature, calling for complex timing and movement patterns. We have coupled a realistic cerebellar spiking neural network with a real robot and challenged it in multiple diverse sensorimotor tasks. Adaptive motor control protocols with acquisition and extinction phases have been designed and tested, including an associative Pavlovian task (Eye blinking classical conditioning), a vestibulo-ocular task and a perturbed arm reaching task operating in closed-loop. A bidirectional long-term plasticity rule implemented at parallel fibers-Purkinje cell synapses modulated the output activity in the deep cerebellar nuclei. In all tasks, the neurorobot learned to adjust timing and gain of the motor responses by tuning its output discharge. It succeeded in reproducing how human biological systems acquire, extinguish and express knowledge of a noisy and changing world. ================= Reading Group Seminars: The Reading Group Seminars (RGS) are organized within an open community of researchers interested in applying up to date mathematical modeling and data analysis approaches to the study of biological systems. The RGS take place at the Math. Department in Milan (via Saldini). Initiatives and updates are published on the website: http://rgs.mat.unimi.it/. -- ------------------------------- Giacomo Aletti, Associate Professor ADAMSS Centre (ex MIRIAM) Advanced Applied Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Department of Mathematics (www.matematica.unimi.it) Via Saldini, 50 20133 Milano, Italy Tel: +39-02-503.16158 Fax:+39-02-503.16090 Cell: +39-340-9739142

Ciclo di Seminari - Progetto ERC grant PASCAL (Probabilistic and Statistical Techniques for Cosmological Applications) Mercoledi` 25 marzo ore 14 - 16 Aula D'Antoni 1101 Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma Tor Vergata Speakers: Armin Schwartzman & Dang Cheng Department of Statistics, North Carolina State University Title: Distribution of the Height of Local Maxima of Gaussian Random Fields Abstract: Let {f(t): t \in T} be a smooth Gaussian random field over a parameter space T, where T may be a subset of Euclidean space or, more generally, a Riemannian manifold. We provide a general formula for the distribution of the height of a local maximum P { f(t_0)>u | t_0 is a local maximum of f(t) } when f is non-stationary. Moreover, we establish asymptotic approximations for the overshoot distribution of a local maximum P { f(t_0)>u+v | t_0 is a local maximum of f(t) and f(t_0)>v } as v \to \infty. Assuming further that f is isotropic, we apply techniques from random matrices theory related to the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble to compute such conditional probabilities explicitly when T is Euclidean or a sphere of arbitrary dimension. Such calculations are motivated by the statistical problem of detecting peaks in the presence of smooth Gaussian noise. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. ................................................................................

Seminario Elena Kosygina
by Mariani, Mauro 17 Mar '15

17 Mar '15

Il giorno Mercoledi' 25 marzo 2015, alle ore 14:00, nell'Aula G del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' la Sapienza di Roma Elena Kosygina (Baruch College and the CUNY Graduate Center) effettuera' un seminario di circa un'ora: TITOLO: Excited random walks in Markovian cookie environments on Z SUNTO: We consider a nearest-neighbor random walk on Z whose probability ω(x, n) to jump to the right from site x depends not only on x but also on the number of prior visits n to x. The collection (ω(x, n)) is sometimes called the “cookie environment” due to the following informal interpretation. Upon each visit to a site the walker eats a cookie from the cookie stack at that site and chooses the probability to jump to the right according to the “flavour” of the cookie eaten. Assume that the cookie stacks are i.i.d. and that only the first M cookies in each stack may have “flavour”. All other cookies are assumed to be “plain”, i.e. after their consumption the walker makes unbiased steps to one of its neighbours. The “flavours” of the first M cookies within the stack can be different and dependent. We discuss recurrence/transience, ballisticity, and limit theorems for such walks. The talk is based on joint works with Dolgopyat (University of Mary-land), Mountford, Zerner. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare Un saluto Mauro Mariani

Lunedì 30 marzo 2015 alle ore 14:30, nell'aula 3014 del Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni dell'Università di Milano-Bicocca (edificio U5, via Cozzi 55, Milano), Alessandra Cipriani (WIAS Berlin) terrà un seminario dal titolo "Rates of convergence for extremes of geometric random variables and marked point processes" Trovate il sommario di seguito. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Abstract: We study the problem of extremes for univariate and bivariate geometric laws. We determine the rate of convergence of the maximum of \iid geometric random variables and bivariate vectors following the Marshall-Olkin geometric distribution to a Gumbel distribution, and propose a new discretised version as limit. We introduce marked point processes of exceedances (MPPE's) whose \iid marks are bivariate Marshall-Olkin geometric variables. We use the Stein-Chen method for Poisson process approximation to determine bounds on the error of the approximation of the law of the MPPE by that of a Poisson process.

*Venerdi' 20 Marzo 2015*, *ore 14:00* Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo "Mauro Picone", Via dei Taurini 19, 00185 Roma Aula Riunioni (VI piano) *ALESSANDRO DE GREGORIO * (Universita' di Roma "Sapienza") terra' un seminario dal titolo *Isotropic transport processes: a survey of results* ABSTRACT: The motion of a particle whose velocity undergoes jumps of random size at random times constitutes the prototype of a transport process (also called random flight or random evolution). In this talk the probabilistic construction of the isotropic transport processes is outlined. In particular, we assume that the joint probability distribution of the lengths of the displacements is a Dirichlet law. Several results in this context are discussed. We also introduce reflecting transport processes by means of a geometric approach. These processes are often applied in statistical physics and biology. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordiali saluti, Giovanni Luca Torrisi.

No Free Lunch Seminar by Prof. Roberto Renò, Friday March 20 1:00 PM Aula Bianchi @ SNS
by Giacomo Bormetti 11 Mar '15

11 Mar '15

Friday March 20 2015, 1:00 PM in Aula Bianchi, Scuola Normale Superiore Pisa Roberto Renò Dipartimento di Economia Politica e Statistica, Università di Siena will deliver the seminar “Multi-jumps” Abstract: The simultaneous occurrence of jumps in several stocks (multi-jumps) can be associated to major nancial news, is correlated with sudden spikes of the variance risk premium, and determines an increase in the stock variances and correlations which signicantly deteriorates the diversication potential of asset allocation. The latter evidence implies a reduction in the demand of stocks by an aware risk-averse investor. These facts can be easily overlooked by the usage of standard univariate jump statistics, which just lack su cient power. They are instead revealed in a clearly cut way by using a novel test based on smoothed estimators of the integrated variance of individual stocks. Joint work with Massimiliano Caporin and Aleksey Kolokolov. All interested people are kindly invited.

de Finetti risk seminar - march 2015
by Emanuela Rosazza 10 Mar '15

10 Mar '15

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the de Finetti Risk Seminars, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lecture Monetary Utility Functions with the CxLS (convex level sets) property Freddy Delbaen ETH Zurich, Switzerland ABSTRACT Monetary utility functions are -- except for the expected value -- not of von Neumann-Morgenstern type. In case the utility function has convex level sets in the set of probability measures on the real line, we can give some characterisation that comes close to the vN-M form. For coherent utility functions this was solved by Ziegel. The general concave case under the extra assumptions of weak compactness, was solved by Stephan Weber. In the general case the utility functions are only semi continuous. Using the fact that law determined utility functions are monotone with respect to convex ordering, we can overcome most of the technical problems. The characterisation is similar to Weber's theorem except that we need vN_M utility functions that take the value $-\infty$. Having convex level sets can be seen as a weakened form of the independence axiom in the vN-M theorem. This is joint work with Bellini, Bignozzi and Ziegel. LOCATION: The seminar will be held on Wednesday, March 18, at 18.00, Aula di rappresentanza, Dept. of Mathematics, Milano University, Via C. Saldini 50, Milano. A refreshment will be offered at 17.30. Scientific Committee: Prof. Marco Frittelli (Univ. degli Studi di Milano) Prof. Fabio Maccheroni (Univ. Bocconi) Prof. Massimo Marinacci (Univ.

Seminario BAUD-BOVY (RGS & Matematica Applicata)
by Giacomo Aletti 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

Con preghiera di diffusione tra tutti i possibili interessati, scusandomi per invii multipli. Cordialmente, Giacomo Aletti -------------- Nell'ambito dei Reading Group Seminars e del Seminario di Matematica Applicata, il giorno lunedì 16 Marzo 2015, a partire dalle ore 14.30, in Aula C (secondo piano) del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Via C. Saldini, 50, Milano, "Psychophysical models of haptic processes " Gabriel Baud-Bovy, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Robotics, Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Genoa ABSTRACT: Psychophysics is discipline that offers theoretical framework to develop models of perceptual and decisional processes and experimental methods to measure sensation and perception. It was created at the end of the 19th century to bring Psychology into the realm of science. In this talk, I will illustrate this approach by presenting some examples taken on my work on haptic perception. These examples will address the question of various haptic cues might be integrated during haptic exploration and how orientations might be represented internally. ================= Reading Group Seminars: The Reading Group Seminars (RGS) are organized within an open community of researchers interested in applying up to date mathematical modeling and data analysis approaches to the study of biological systems. The RGS take place at the Math. Department in Milan (via Saldini). Initiatives and updates are published on the website: http://rgs.mat.unimi.it/. -- ------------------------------- Giacomo Aletti, Associate Professor ADAMSS Centre (ex MIRIAM) Advanced Applied Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Department of Mathematics (www.matematica.unimi.it) Via Saldini, 50 20133 Milano, Italy Tel: +39-02-503.16158 Fax:+39-02-503.16090 Cell: +39-340-9739142
