Seminar W. Bock - Sapienza, 22-1-2024
by Luisa Beghin 17 Jan '24

17 Jan '24

Dear all, we are pleased to invite you to the following seminar, which can be attended also via Zoom. *Location:* Room n.24, 4th floor, Edificio CU002 (Scienze Statistiche) *Zoom: * https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/84380852385?pwd=RDBrcVdvelRMM0VmczlXYWgwL2pPZz09 *Time:* *Monday 22nd of January, at 14.30* *Speaker: *Wolfgang Bock (Linnaeus University) *Title:* Recent Results on the Generalized Grey Brownian Motion *Abstract*: Grey Brownian motion was introduced by Schneider in 1990. In his work Schneider showed that indeed the process fulfills a Feynman-Kac like formula for the solution of the fractional heat equation. In the 2000s the process was generalized by Mainardi et al. In 2016 the group of Grothaus established a White Noise like calculus for the process, also introducing spaces of test and generalized functions. In this talk, we will review this recent development and give an overview of the analysis and the most recent results. In an outlook, we give a strategy on how to introduce spaces of regular distributions to obtain a form of regularity theory.

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (19 Gennaio) alle ore 14:30 in aula 1BC50 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Francesco Pedrotti (Institute of Science and Technology Austria) <https://sites.google.com/view/francescopedrotti/home-page?authuser=0> https://sites.google.com/view/francescopedrotti/home-page?authuser=0 Title: Contractive coupling rates and curvature lower bounds for reversible Markov chains Date: January 19, 2024, at 14:30, room 1BC45 Abstract: Ricci curvature lower bounds for Riemannian manifolds have been linked to many functional inequalities: this has motivated the seminal independent works of Sturm and Lott and Villani, who extended the notion of curvature lower bound and many of its consequences to a large class of metric measure spaces. In spite of its generality, this theory does not apply to Markov chains on discrete spaces; for this reason, several adapted notions of curvature have been proposed, based on different equivalent characterizations of curvature of Riemannian manifolds. Different notions have different pros and cons: e.g., the entropic curvature of Erbar and Maas is hard to compute in some examples, while Olliviers coarse Ricci curvature is not known to imply a modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality. It is still an open problem to compare these notions. In the present work, adapting arguments of a recent article by Conforti, we show how contractive coupling rates (a concept naturally connected to Olliviers curvature) can be used to establish entropic curvature lower bounds for some examples of reversible Markov chains. Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin Sito web del seminario: https://www.math.unipd.it/~chiarini/seminars/

15 Jan '24

Dear all, a kind reminder that the deadline for the abstract submission for contributed talks or poster at BioInference2024 (5th -7th June at Warwick https://bioinference.github.io/2024/) is quickly approached, being it on the 31st January 2024. If you are interested on mathematical modelling and statistical methods for (widely defined/interpreted) biological problems, then please consider submitting an abstract here forms.gle/SBawnWD3k8iSS1Vt6<http://forms.gle/SBawnWD3k8iSS1Vt6> More info are reported below. Best, Massi on the behalf of the BioInference2024 organising committee ------------------------------------ The BioInference 2024 conference (https://bioinference.github.io/2024/) is taking place at the University of Warwick on the 5th-7th June 2024, and it will combine a data-driven meeting on day 1 (registration fee: £30) with the main two-day conference on the 6th and 7th June 2024 (registration fee: £70). Launched in 2022, BioInference aims to bring together researchers from across statistics and mathematical modelling who work with biological systems, and from all career stages, to foster discussions between the two communities and to prompt collaborations. The talks from the two previous BioInference conferences are available via our public YouTube channel (youtube.com/@bioinference5299<http://youtube.com/@bioinference5299>). The two-day conference will combine contributed talks and poster sessions. We now invite abstracts for oral/poster presentations on work either relating to statistical methods development (so long as those methods are applicable to biological systems) or on the application of statistical methods to solve biological problems. All presentations will be in-person. Abstracts can be submitted via a Google form (forms.gle/SBawnWD3k8iSS1Vt6<http://forms.gle/SBawnWD3k8iSS1Vt6>) and the deadline is on the 31st January 2024. It is our pleasure to confirm that this year's invited speakers are: * Alex Browning<https://alexbrowning.me/>, University of Oxford * Sarah Filippi<https://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/s.filippi>, Imperial College London * Hong Ge<https://mlg.eng.cam.ac.uk/hong/>, University of Cambridge * Hamid Rahkooy<https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/rahkooy/bio.html>, University of Oxford * Heba Sailem<https://www.hebasailem.com/>, King’s College London * Catalina Vallejos<https://www.ed.ac.uk/mrc-human-genetics-unit/research/vallejos-group>, University of Edinburgh The conference organising committee is committed to ensuring fair participation of individuals across all career stages, genders, races and ethnicities, ages, geographic locations, and universities. Data-driven meeting: problems and methodologies This year, we are also running an optional event on the 5th June at Warwick before the main conference starts. This aims to bring together mathematicians, statisticians and those who possess or generate datasets and would like to analyse them/answer some open questions. These may include biologists, clinicians etc in academia and industry. The idea of this meeting is to think about potential solutions to these data-based problems, gathering interest for possible collaborations between individuals across disciplines, institutions and career stages. The day would consist of a range of presentations by the experimental/business partners in the morning, and focus/discussion groups in the afternoon, aiming to start formulating an action plan to tackle the open challenges. The cost of attending day one is £30 in addition to the registration fee for the main conference.

We establish that tempering SMC is a numerical approximation of entropic mirror descent applied to the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence and obtain convergence rates for the tempering iterates. Our result motivates the tempering iterates from an optimization point of view, showing that tempering can be used as an alternative to Langevin-based algorithms to minimize the KL divergence. We exploit the connection between tempering and mirror descent iterates to justify common practices in SMC and propose improvements to algorithms in literature. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85042791274?pwd=V05aejBLYXEyL1lRNURFMUZIcy9PUT09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Seminario di Michele Salvi alla Sapienza, Martedì 16/01/24
by Faggionato, Alessandra 11 Jan '24

11 Jan '24

Buongiorno Martedì 16 Gennaio Michele Salvi terrà un seminario di Probabilità al Dipartimento di Matematica della Sapienza Sotto trovate i dettagli. Grazie per l'attenzione Saluti Alessandra %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Speaker: Michele Salvi (Università di Tor Vergata) Where: Sala di Consiglio, Dip. di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma When: Tuesday 16 January, 14:00 (sharp) Title: *From the Uniform to the Minimum Spanning Tree* Abstract: A spanning tree of a graph G is a connected subset of G without cycles. The *Uniform Spanning Tree* (UST) is obtained by choosing one of the possible spanning trees of G at random. The *Minimum Spanning Tree* (MST) is realised instead by putting random weights on the edges of G and then selecting the spanning tree with the smallest weight. These two models exhibit markedly different behaviours: for example, their diameter on the complete graph with n nodes transitions from n^1/2 for the UST to n^1/3 for the MST. What lies in between? We introduce a model of *Random Spanning Trees in Random Environment* (RSTRE) designed to interpolate between UST and MST. In particular, when the environment disorder is sufficiently low, the RSTRE on the complete graph has a diameter of n^1/2 as the UST. Conversely, when the disorder is high, the diameter behaves like n^1/3 as for the MST. We conjecture a smooth transition between these two values for intermediate levels of disorder. This talk is based on joint work with Rongfeng Sun and Luca Makowiec (NUS Singapore). -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato https://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/people/faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************

SPASS Seminar: Lucio Galeati
by Andrea Agazzi 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *A.e. uniqueness for (stochastic) Lagrangian trajectories for Leray solutions to 3D Navier-Stokes* by Lucio Galeati (EPFL) The seminar will take place on TUE, 16.01.2024 at 14:00 CET 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 -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: * *We revisit a result due to Robinson and Sadowski (2009), who first showed a.e. uniqueness of Lagrangian trajectories for admissible weak solutions to $3$D Navier-Stokes, for sufficiently regular $u_0$. We give an alternative proof, based on a newly established asymmetric Lusin-Lipschitz property of Leray solutions, exploited crucially in the arguments from Caravenna-Crippa (2021) and Brué-Colombo-De Lellis (2021). This approach is more robust, requiring no assumptions on $u_0$ and being applicable also to the stochastic characteristics of the system.Finally, if $u_0$ is regular (say $u_0\in H^{1/2}$), then we are able to exploit the diffusive behaviour of stochastic trajectories to further prove that, for any fixed $x_0\in\mathbb{R}^d$, path-by-path uniqueness for the SDE $d X_t = u(t,X_t) d t + d B_t, X|t=0 = x_0$.*

Dear all, you are all invited to participate to the following seminar on *Tuesday 23th of January 2023 at 16:00* in Aula Seminari Demografica 2062 at University of Milano Bicocca (via degli Arcimboldi 8, Milano - building U7, 2nd floor): Speaker: *Alessandro Doldi* (University of Florence) Titolo: *Collective Arbitrage and the Value of Cooperation* Abstract: The paper aims at extending the classical Arbitrage Pricing Theory to a scenario where N agents engage in financial market investments and are permitted to collaborate through exchanges. Within this framework, we introduce the concepts of Collective Arbitrage and Collective Super-replication. Subsequently, we establish versions of the fundamental theorem of asset pricing and the pricing-hedging duality tailored to this cooperative setting. Illustrative examples demonstrate the advantages of our proposed approach. The novel notions of Collective Arbitrage and Collective Super-replication highlight the pivotal role of cooperation and the multidimensional aspect. Notably, when there is only a single agent involved, the theory reduces to the classical one.

by Alessandro Gnoatto 23 Dec '23

23 Dec '23

1 Year Post-Doc position in Verona I am looking for a post-doc to join my group. The topic of the research project is "Machine learning and stochastic control for financial risk management” The aim of this project is to study new methods, models, and numerical techniques for the treatment of financial risk management problems, in particular counterparty credit risk (xVA) or the pricing of financial and insurance claims. Many problems in finance involve the minimization of a cost functional subject to controlled stochastic state variables. Controls or related quantities in high dimension can be conveniently approximated by means of artificial neural networks. The aim of the project is to study control problems under general dynamics together with the development of new models for the evolution of risk factors, with a special focus on interest rates. The candidate should have a solid background in probability, stochastic calculus and computational finance. Experience with the Java and/or Python programming languages and Machine Learning frameworks such as Tensorflow, Deep Java Library or Deeplearning4J is a plus. Candidates will be evaluated based on their scientific quality and their potential in developing research. There are no teaching obligations and knowledge of Italian is not required.

The ABS school "Bayesian Phylogenetic and Infectious Diseases" in Como (August 26-30, 2024)
by Elisa Varini 18 Dec '23

18 Dec '23

Dear all, We are glad to inform you that the next Applied Bayesian Statistics school - ABS24 will be held in the city of Como, along the Lake Como shoreline, on August 26-30, 2024. The school is organised by CNR IMATI (Institute of Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies at the Italian National Research Council in Milano), in cooperation with Fondazione Alessandro Volta. The topic will be BAYESIAN PHYLOGENETIC AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES. The lecturer will be Prof. MARC SUCHARD (Department of Biostatistics, UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, USA), with the support of Filippo Monti (PhD student in Biostatistics, UCLA, USA). If interested, you can register on the school website: https://abs24.imati.cnr.it/ REGISTRATION is now open but payments will be possible (by bank transfer or credit card) only after February, 1, 2024. If you are interested in the school but unwilling to register for the moment, please send an email to abs24(a)mi.imati.cnr.it and we will send you updates and reminders. As in the past (since 2004), there will be a combination of theoretical and practical sessions, along with presentations by participants about their work (past, current and future) related to the topic of the school. OUTLINE: The aim of this course is to explore the core challenges of Bayesian inference of stochastic processes in modern biology in terms of data-scale, model-dimensionality and compute-complexity. Challenging and emerging statistical solutions will be illustrated through the analysis of biological sequences, such as genes and genomes. Molecular phylogenetics has become an essential analytical tool for understanding the complex patterns in which rapidly evolving pathogens propagate across and between countries, owing to the complex travel and transportation patterns evinced by modern economies, along with growing political factors such as increased global population and urbanisation. As an accessible course for all, a brief introduction of the underlying biology (for statistical researchers) and of modern Bayesian inference (for practicing biologists) will be also provided. Topics will cover probabilistic modeling techniques using both discrete- and continuous-valued stochastic processes including continuous-time Markov chains and Gaussian processes; large-scale data-integration approaches incorporating factors like human mobility and climate measurements; recursive computing and other mathematical tricks to evaluate seemingly intractable likelihoods; state-of-the-art sampling methods for high-dimensional models including Hamiltonian Monte Carlo and its more recent non-reversible extensions; delivering timely inference on advancing computing hardware like graphics processing units and (maybe even) quantum devices. We hope you will be interested in the school and we would like to meet you in Como next year. We invite you also to share the information with people potentially interested. Best regards Elisa Varini and Fabrizio Ruggeri Executive Director and Director of ABS24
