Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordialmente, Anna Maria Gambaro -------------------------------- Title: Multi-objective reward generalization: improving performance of Deep Reinforcement Learning for applications in single-asset trading Speaker: Federico Cornalba, Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Bath, UK Abstract: In this talk, we investigate the potential of Multi-Objective, Deep Reinforcement Learning for stock and cryptocurrency single-asset trading: in particular, we consider a Multi-Objective algorithm which generalizes the reward functions and discount factor (i.e., these components are not specified a priori, but incorporated in the learning process). Using several assets (BTCUSD, ETHUSDT, XRPUSDT, AAPL, SPY, NIFTY50), we discuss the reward generalization property of the proposed Multi-Objective algorithm, preliminary statistical evidence for its predictive stability over the corresponding Single-Objective strategy, and its performance for sparse reward mechanisms. Joint work with C. Disselkamp (pagent.ai), D. Scassola (aindo, and Università degli Studi di Trieste), and C. Helf (pagent.ai). - date: 18 July 2024 - time: 2.00 PM - room: 205, campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara. Università del Piemonte Orientale. - on-line: meet.google.com/mbu-duor-fva _____________________ Title: ESG Data Imputation and Greenwashing Speaker: Giulia Crippa,Operations Research and Financial Engineering, Princeton University & The Aggregate Confusion Project at Sloan School of Management, MIT Abstract: In recent years, there has been a notable surge of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing. This paper provides a simple and comprehensive tool to tackle the issue of missing ESG data. Firstly, it allows to shed light on the failure of ESG ratings due to data sparsity. Exploiting machine learning techniques, we find that the most significant metrics are promises, targets and incentives, rather than realized variables. Then, data incompleteness is addressed, which affects about 50% of the overall dataset. Via a new methodology, imputation accuracy is improved with respect to traditional median-driven techniques. Lastly, exploiting the newly imputed data, a quantitative dimension of greenwashing is introduced. We show that when rating agencies do not efficiently impute missing metrics, ESG scores carry a quantitative bias that should be accounted by market players. - date: 18 July 2024 - time: 3.00 PM - room: 205, campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara.

Seminario Youngsoo Baek - Giovedì 11 Luglio - University of Pisa
by Aikaterini Papagiannouli 09 Jul '24

09 Jul '24

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following seminar: On Frequentist Coverage of Bayes Posteriors for Non Linear Inverse Problems by Youngsoo Baek (Duke University) The seminar will take place on THU, 11.07.2024 at 14:00 CET in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at this link<https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. Katerina Papagiannouli -------------------------------------------- Abstract: We present two new results on the frequentist coverage of Bayes posteriors when estimating linear functionals of the unknown parameter in a nonlinear, PDE-based inverse problem. The results are valid for Gaussian process priors under sufficiently strong smoothness assumptions on the model. They provide a characterization of asymptotic coverage and Gaussian geometry for the standard posterior credible bands based on the first two moments, irrespective of whether Bernstein von-Mises (BvM) theorem holds or not. In the case it does hold, our sufficient conditions are sharper than previous known results. The proof is based on a particular choice of a least favorable transformation of the parameter and an injectivity estimate on the prior RKHS. As an application, we study the case of estimating diffusivity coefficient in a Darcy flow problem, where necessary conditions of BvM breaks down. This is a joint work with Katerina Papagiannouli.

Oggi 8 luglio 2024, ore 11: seminario Dr. Daya Shanker - CNR-IMATI
by Elisa Varini 08 Jul '24

08 Jul '24

Si avvisa che in data *08-07-2024*, alle ore *11:00* precise, presso la sala Pentagonale dell'Area della Ricerca 1 del CNR di Milano in via Corti 12, il *Dr. Daya Shanker, Department of Earthquake Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, *terrà un seminario dal titolo *Geological investigation of Natural Background Radiation Hazard in Southern Tamil Nadu, India, and its effect on built environment* Abstract: Exposure and quantification of radioactivity has become environmental and civil problems around the world. The radioactivity even in minor quantities will build up in human body and subsequently, lead to unknown and erratic health complications particularly those related to sustainable development, agricultural production, habitat, ecosystem, and forest. A very high intrinsic anomalous radioactivity >26 microGy/h was identified in the hinterlands within the boulders of syenite rock body around Puttetti in western part of Kanyakumari district, southern Tamil Nadu, India. Further, in the hinterlands, the weathered rocks around Inayam and Midalam localities were also found to be more radioactive ranging from 4 to 22 microGy/h compared to the radiation exposure from the adjoining beach sectors at various locations from Chavara to Tuticorin (1–14 microGy/h). The observed radiation levels are presumably the highest concentration in southern India and conceivably it is foremost instant that a very high intrinsic radiogenic source in the hinterlands is reported in southwest coast of India. Public concerns of radiation exposure of safety in high background areas are of great social and civil relevance. The construction materials used for dwelling purposes from these areas should be avoided from health hazard point of views. Significant radiation doses will certainly enter the human body as most of the people have the habit of sitting and sleeping on the floor. People living in the region are expected to receive significant radiation, which may get accumulated in the human body causing long-term health problem. It is also advisable if the area falls having already natural background radiation hazard must be avoided for the future nuclear power plants/reactors. Gli interessati possono partecipare in presenza o da remoto, attraverso il link sotto riportato: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_MTQ1OGU0MGEtNThlNC00… Cordialmente, Elisa Varini

Seminario Dr. Daya Shanker - CNR-IMATI, 8 luglio 2024
by Elisa Varini 01 Jul '24

01 Jul '24

Con preghiera di diffusione, si avvisa che in data *08-07-2024*, alle ore *11:00* precise, presso la sala Pentagonale dell'Area della Ricerca 1 del CNR di Milano in via Corti 12, il *Dr. Daya Shanker, Department of Earthquake Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, *terrà un seminario dal titolo *Geological investigation of Natural Background Radiation Hazard in Southern Tamil Nadu, India, and its effect on built environment* Abstract: Exposure and quantification of radioactivity has become environmental and civil problems around the world. The radioactivity even in minor quantities will build up in human body and subsequently, lead to unknown and erratic health complications particularly those related to sustainable development, agricultural production, habitat, ecosystem, and forest. A very high intrinsic anomalous radioactivity >26 microGy/h was identified in the hinterlands within the boulders of syenite rock body around Puttetti in western part of Kanyakumari district, southern Tamil Nadu, India. Further, in the hinterlands, the weathered rocks around Inayam and Midalam localities were also found to be more radioactive ranging from 4 to 22 microGy/h compared to the radiation exposure from the adjoining beach sectors at various locations from Chavara to Tuticorin (1–14 microGy/h). The observed radiation levels are presumably the highest concentration in southern India and conceivably it is foremost instant that a very high intrinsic radiogenic source in the hinterlands is reported in southwest coast of India. Public concerns of radiation exposure of safety in high background areas are of great social and civil relevance. The construction materials used for dwelling purposes from these areas should be avoided from health hazard point of views. Significant radiation doses will certainly enter the human body as most of the people have the habit of sitting and sleeping on the floor. People living in the region are expected to receive significant radiation, which may get accumulated in the human body causing long-term health problem. It is also advisable if the area falls having already natural background radiation hazard must be avoided for the future nuclear power plants/reactors. Gli interessati possono partecipare in presenza o da remoto, attraverso il link sotto riportato: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_MTQ1OGU0MGEtNThlNC00… Cordialmente, Elisa Varini

SPASS: seminar
by Marco Romito 28 Jun '24

28 Jun '24

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: * Kallianpur-Robbins laws for Processes with regenerative increments and applications* by Sotirios Kotitsas (Warwick University) The seminar will take on TUE, 02.07.2024 at 14:00 CEST in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass *---------------------------------------------------------* Let (X_t )_t≥0 be a regenerative process in R^d , d=1,2. We study the additive functional ∫_0 ^T R(X_s ) ds, where R : R^d → R is an integrable function. When (X_t )_t≥0 is a Brownian motion, the limiting distribution of this additive functional, when appropriately normalized, is given by the Kallianpur-Robbins theorem. Under minor assumptions, we extend this theorem to the case of the regenerative processes. We then present some applications to Random walks in a random environment and to SPDEs.
