Dear Colleagues,
At AMMCS 2019 in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, August 18-23, 2019, with Taisei
Kaizoji (ICU Tokyo), I am organising a special session on:
The Mathematics and Statistics of Wealth and Income Distributions
Research on microscopic stochastic models of economic systems and their
kinetic, mean-field and hydrodynamic limits have recently gained a lot of
momentum. The focus of this special session is to highlight recent advances
on stochastic, kinetic and PDE modelling in the area of wealth and income
distributions as well as methodologies for model estimates, including
Bayesian techniques.
The deadline for submission of abstracts is 30 April 2019.

Dear Colleagues,
a special sessions’ stream entitled Networks, Big Data, and Artificial
Intelligence in Economics, Finance, and Social Sciences will take place
during the AMASES Annual Conference, which will be held in Perugia on
September 9-11, 2019 (http://amases2019.unipg.it).
The special sessions’ stream focuses on the emerging multidisciplinary
study of the interconnections in finance and social science, which brings
with it the necessity to deal with the growing amount of data available. A
special emphasis is given to latest advances in artificial intelligence and
machine learning, which are expected to have disruptive impact in
economic, financial, and social data modeling. The stream intends to foster
the dialogue between academics, regulators, and practitioners.
Theoretical and empirical papers are welcome. Topics include but are not
limited to:
- contagion in social, economic, and financial networks
- network modeling of financial time-series
- big data approach to financial, economic, and social modeling
- artificial intelligence and machine learning in social, economic, and
financial systems
It is a great pleasure to invite you to submit an extended abstract. To be
considered for the stream, please submit your abstract by specifying in the
filename the stream code and the appropriate session, namely
- Networks (NBDAI-NW)
- Big Data (NBDAI-BD)
- Artificial Intelligence (NBDAI-AI)
in the file name. For example, for a paper in the Networks session use the
file name (NBDAI-NW-[surname of author who will present the paper].pdf).
Please refer to the official web page of the conference for further details
on the submission.
Important dates:
May 1, 2019: deadline for abstract submission
June 10, 2019: notification of acceptance
June 17, 2019: early registration
July 1, 2019: late registration

Dear all,
I invite you to the seminar "Deep learning volatility", that will be given
by Dr. Blanka Horvath (King's College - Londra), next Tuesday at 11.30, in
room 2BC30 of the Mathematics Department in Padova.
The abstract follows:
* Abstract:
We present a consistent neural network based calibration method for a
number of volatility models-including the rough volatility family-that
performs the calibration task within a few milliseconds for the full
implied volatility surface.
The aim of neural networks in this work is an off-line approximation of
complex pricing functions, which are difficult to represent or
time-consuming to evaluate by other means. We highlight how this
perspective opens new horizons for quantitative modelling: The calibration
bottleneck posed by a slow pricing of derivative contracts is lifted. This
brings several model families (such as rough volatility models) within the
scope of applicability in industry practice. As customary for machine
learning, the form in which information from available data is extracted
and stored is crucial for network performance. With this in mind we discuss
how our approach addresses the usual challenges of machine learning
solutions in a financial context (availability of training data,
interpretability of results for regulators, control over generalisation
errors). We present specific architectures for price approximation and
calibration and optimize these with respect different objectives regarding
accuracy, speed and robustness. We also find that including the
intermediate step of learning pricing functions of (classical or rough)
models before calibration significantly improves network performance
compared to direct calibration to data.
The talk is based on joint work with A. Muguruza an M. Tomas, available
here:

See you there (if interested!),

Luned' 15 Aprile avremo il seguente seminario in Aula di Consiglio
(Dipartimento di Matematica, La Sapienza, Roma), alle ore 16.00:
Speaker: Marco Romito (Universita' di Pisa).
Title: Fluctuations for point vortices
Abstract: The first part of the presentation is a short review of a
statistical mechanics model of point vortices for the 2D Euler equations
and their mean field limit. In the second part we outline a proof of
Gaussian fluctuations from the mean field limit. The result holds on the
torus, on the sphere and on bounded domains. This is a work in
collaboration with Francesco Grotto (Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa).
