Next OWPS on June 7th: Kavita Ramanan (Brown University)
by Alberto Chiarini 02 Jun '23

02 Jun '23

OWPS's next session will be on Wednesday the 7th of June from 15:00 - 17:00 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). Our next speaker is: Kavita Ramanan (Brown University) Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. If you are interested in the project, we kindly ask you to share this announcement within your community. With best wishes, Alberto Chiarini (Padua) and Adrián González Casanova (Berkeley and México) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk : Kavita Ramanan (Brown University) Title: Large Deviations Principles for Interacting Particle Systems on Locally Tree-Like Graphs Abstract: Interacting particle systems are models of collections of particles with random states whose direct interactions are local with respect to an underlying (possibly random) graph. The study of the large deviations behavior of these systems in the mean-field case, namely when the underlying interaction graph is the complete graph, has been well understood for almost four decades. In contrast, the setting of sparse random graphs is not as well understood. Just as Sanov's theorem plays a key role in the study of the mean-field case, it turns out that a key ingredient in the sparse random graphs setting is a tractable characterization of the large deviations rate function for component empirical measures of locally tree-like marked random graph sequences. The first part of this lecture will first provide background and then present a self-contained description of this LDP. The second part will focus on applications of this LDP to interacting particle systems. The lectures are based on joint works with I-Hsun Chen and Sarath Yasodharan.

seminario Federico Sau (Sapienza, 6 Giugno)
by Matteo Quattropani 29 May '23

29 May '23

Salve a tutti, Segnalo il seguente seminario, che avrà luogo Martedì 6 Giugno alle ore 14:00 in Sala di Consiglio (Dipartimento di Matematica, Università La Sapienza): Speaker: Federico Sau (Università di Trieste) Title: Spectral gap of the symmetric inclusion process. Abstract: In this talk, we consider the symmetric inclusion process on a general finite graph. Our main result establishes universal upper and lower bounds for the spectral gap of this interacting particle system in terms of the spectral gap of the random walk on the same graph. In the regime in which the gamma-like reversible measures of the particle system are log-concave, our bounds match, yielding a version for the symmetric inclusion process of the celebrated Aldous' spectral gap conjecture --- originally formulated for the interchange process and proved by Caputo, Liggett and Richthammer (JAMS 2010). Finally, by means of duality techniques, we draw analogous conclusions for an interacting diffusion-like unbounded conservative spin system known as Brownian energy process, which may be interpreted as a spatial version of the Wright-Fisher diffusion with mutation. Based on a joint work with Seonwoo Kim (SNU, South Korea). Saluti, Matteo Quattropani

Recruiting PhDs for tutoring at AIMS
by Julia Mortera 25 May '23

25 May '23

The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) centres are unique postgraduate educational centres recruiting students from the whole of Africa and preparing them for careers in the quantitative sciences. The current network has centres in South Africa (since 2003), Senegal (since 2011), Ghana (since 2012) Cameroon (October 2013) and Rwanda (2016). The AIMS programme is a 10-month course, intended to prepare African graduates with mathematically-based degrees for postgraduate study and employment. To achieve this, AIMS Cameroon (located in Limbe, Cameroon) is seeking enthusiastic individuals with backgrounds in mathematical sciences (including pure and applied mathematics, statistics and data science, physics, computer science, mathematical biology and other fields) who would like to volunteer as tutor, starting from September 2023. The call is open to PhD students, holding or approaching completion of a PhD is an advantage. The minimum requirement is an M.Sc at distinction level. Applicants should provide evidence of experience of teaching university mathematics, including marking and providing constructive feedback, good communication and social skills, as well as administrative and time management competence. Tutoring at an AIMS centre is a great opportunity to meet and work closely with prestigious scientists from around the world. Indeed, outstanding lecturers are recruited from all over the world to teach a one-year Master’s degree in mathematical sciences preparing students for advanced postgraduate research. The course is unusually broad in scope and employs the latest pedagogical method in order to stimulate critical and creative thinking. This is a unique opportunity for tutors to gain significant experience in teaching in higher education given that there is currently no school preparing teachers for higher education worldwide. Travel, visa, accommodation expenses and meals will be covered by AIMS Cameroon. The tutor will also receive a monthly stipend. Statisticians and data scientists can contact e.lawford(a)rss.org.uk for informal discussions. To submit an application, candidates should email their CV with at least two references, a statement letter of no more than 500 words to the AIMS-Cameroon academic team at academia-ml(a)aims-cameroon.org. In the letter, the applicant should state the period of their availability and provide evidence of what makes them an ideal candidate by drawing from their experience and qualifications. -- Julia Mortera Honorary Professor, University of Bristol Professor of Statistics, Università Roma Tre Web page:https://juliamortera.wordpress.com/

SPASS Seminar: Francesco Mattesini
by Andrea Agazzi 25 May '23

25 May '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS <https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass> seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Annealed quantitative estimates for the 2D-discrete random matching problem* by *Francesco Mattesini* (MPI Leipzig) The seminar will take place on *TUE, 30.05.2023* at *14:00 CET* in Aula Seminari, Department of Mathematics, University of Pisa and streamed online here <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass --------------------------------------- Abstract: The optimal matching problem is a classical random variational problem which may be interpreted as an optimal transport problem between two random discrete measures. Its easier instance deals with matching 2 n-clouds of i. i. d. uniformly distributed points. In recent years Caracciolo-Lucibello-Parisi-Sicuro made exact predictions on the convergence of the rescaled cost thanks to a first order linearization of the Monge-Amp\'ere equation. This approach was later justified by Ambrosio-Stra-Trevisan and quantitative bounds for the convergence of the proxies were later shown by Ambrosio-Glaudo-Trevisan. Such techniques have been repurposed by Benedetto-Caglioti to study the case of i. i. d. random points with non-constant densities. By subadditivity and PDE arguments Ambrosio-Goldman-Trevisan were able to justify the latter for the convergence of the rescaled cost. We show annealed quantitative upper bounds for the approximating transport map in the case of i. i. d. points and weakly correlated points with non-constant densities. We extend our results to the case of unbalanced matching, i. e. matching between point clouds of different size and to point clouds sampled from a positive recurrent Markov chain. Joint work with N. Clozeau (IST Austria).

Seminar by Katia Colaneri in Milan (25.01.23)
by Valeria Bignozzi 23 May '23

23 May '23

Dear all, you're invited to the seminar that will take place, in hybrid mode, at the Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods, University of Milano-Bicocca. More details: • Speaker: Katia Colaneri (email: katia.colaneri(a)uniroma2.it <mailto:katia.colaneri@uniroma2.it>) Title: Some Optimisation Problems in Insurance with a Terminal Distribution Constraint Abstract: In this paper, we study two optimisation settings for an insurance company, under the constraint that the terminal surplus at a deterministic and finite time T follows a normal distribution with a given mean and a given variance. In both cases, the surplus of the insurance company is assumed to follow a Brownian motion with drift. First, we allow the insurance company to pay dividends and seek to maximise the expected discounted dividend payments or to minimise the ruin probability under the terminal distribution constraint. Here, we find explicit expressions for the optimal strategies in both cases, when the dividend strategy is updated at discrete points in time and continuously in time. Second, we let the insurance company buy a reinsurance contract for a pool of insured or a branch of business. We only allow for piecewise constant reinsurance strategies producing a normally distributed terminal surplus, whose mean and variance lead to a given Value at Risk or Expected Shortfall at some confidence level α. We investigate the question which admissible reinsurance strategy produces a smaller ruin probability, if the ruin-checks are due at discrete deterministic points in time.

Corso di dottorato di Amine Asselah in Sapienza
by Lorenzo Taggi 22 May '23

22 May '23

Si annuncia il corso di dottorato su *Random Walks e Branching Random Walks* del professor Amine Asselah (università di Parigi-Est Créteil) presso il dipartimento di Matematica di Sapienza Università di Roma. Si riportano l’abstract e il calendario, in allegato il programma dettagliato. Si prega di diffondere l’annuncio a possibili interessati. Per essere inseriti nella mailing list del corso e essere aggiornati su possibili variazioni del calendario si prega di inviare un'email a lorenzo.taggi(a)uniroma1.it *ABSTRACT:* Simple Random Walk is the first example of a Markovian process, whereas Branching Random Walk has a time indexed by a random tree, and looses the SRW’s sequential way of visiting space. The highlights of the course would be two phenomena in high dimensions linked with folding. - The chances that two independent walks meet for a long time. - The chances that two independent branching walks both visit a large region, and this is to be discovered during the course. We plan to have self-contained lectures (with little pre-requisites), and will start with reviewing useful facts (classical and not) on random walks. *CALENDARIO:* Tutte le lezioni hanno luogo dalle 11:00 alle 13:00 presso il dipartimento di Matematica in aula B nei seguenti giorni: Lez. 1: lunedì 29/5 Lez. 2: giovedì 1/6 Lez. 3: giovedì 8/6 Lez. 4: venerdì 9/6 Lez. 5: lunedì 12/6 Lez. 6: giovedì 15/6 Lez. 7: lunedì 19/6 Lez. 8: giovedì 22/6

by Daniela De Canditiis 21 May '23

21 May '23

Buongiorno a tutti, il prossimo appuntamento del ciclo Seminari generali IAC si terrà Mercoledì 24 Maggio ore 14:30 sul Canale Youtube Cnr-IAC al link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgsmwZg7eAg con Francois Baccelli Title High dimensional stochastic geometry in the Shannon regime Abstract This talk will focus on Euclidean stochastic geometry in the Shannon regime. In this regime, the dimension n of space tends to infinity, point processes have intensities which are exponential functions of n, and the random compact sets have diameters of order square root of n. Three basic models of stochastic geometry based on Poisson processes will be considered: the Boolean model, the Poisson-Voronoi tessellation and the Poisson hyperplane tessellation. We will show how to calculate the asymptotic behavior of the classical quantities of stochastic geometry for these three models in the Shannon regime: for the Boolean model, the volume fraction, the percolation threshold or the size of the connected components; for tessellations, statistics of geometric properties of cells (volume, diameter, etc.). These questions are motivated by problems in information theory, including the calculation of error exponents for channel coding based on random codes and calculating the distortion in the one-bit compression-based source coding. Survey of work in collaboration with Venkat Anantharam (UC Berkeley) and Eliza O'Reilly (Caltech).

SPASS Seminar: Francesco Russo
by Andrea Agazzi 19 May '23

19 May '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS <https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass> seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Semimartingales with jumps, weak Dirichlet processes and path-dependent martingale problems* by *Francesco Russo* (ENSTA-Paris) The seminar will take place on *TUE, 23.05.2023* at *14:00 CET* in Aula Seminari, Department of Mathematics, University of Pisa and streamed online here <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: In this talk we will revisit the notion of weak Dirichlet process which is the natural extension of semimartingale with jumps. If X is such a process, then it is the sum of a local martingale M and a martingale ortogonal process A in the sense that [A, N] = 0 for every continuous local martingale N . We remark that if [A] = 0 then X is a Dirichlet process. The notion of Dirichlet process is not very suitable in the jump case since in this case A is forced to be continuous.The talk will discuss the following points.1. To provide a (unique) decomposition which is also new for semimartingales with jumps.2. To discuss some new stability theorem for weak Dirichlet processes through C^{0,1} transformations.3. To discuss various examples of such processes arising from path-dependent martingale problems. This includes path-dependent stochastic differential equations involving a distributional drift and with jumps.The talk is based on a joint paper with E. Bandini (Bologna).*

Seminar: Rongfeng Sun at Tor Vergata
by Michele Salvi 18 May '23

18 May '23

Dear all, On Wednesday, May 24th, at 14h00 in Aula 2001 (change of usual place! Aula 2001 is on the top floor of the Math Department, close to the copy shop) at Roma Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/about.php) will host Rongfeng Sun (NUS Singapore) with the seminar “A new correlation inequality for Ising models with external fields" Abstract: We study ferromagnetic Ising models on finite graphs with an inhomogeneous external field. We show that the influence of boundary conditions on any given spin is maximised when the external field is identically 0. One corollary is that spin-spin correlation is maximised when the external field vanishes. In particular, the random field Ising model on Z^d, d ≥ 3, exhibits exponential decay of correlations in the entire high temperature regime of the pure Ising model. Another corollary is that the pure Ising model on Z^d, d ≥ 3, satisfies the conjectured strong spatial mixing property in the entire high temperature regime. Based on joint work with Jian Ding and Jian Song. We encourage in-person partecipation. Should you be unable to come, here is the link to the Teams streaming: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3arfsL73KX-fw86y1YnXq2nk5VnZFw… .

Seminario di Davide Gabrielli alla Sapienza
by Faggionato, Alessandra 17 May '23

17 May '23

Buongiorno, Martedì 23 Maggio alle ore 14:00 in Sala di Consiglio (Dipartimento di Matematica, Università La Sapienza) avrà luogo il seguente seminario: Speaker: Davide Gabrielli (Università dell'Aquila) Title: HIDDEN TEMPERATURE IN THE KIPNIS-MARCHIORO-PRESUTTI MODEL Abstract: Stationary non equilibrium states (SNS) have a rich and complex structure. The large deviations rate functionals for the empirical measure of a few one dimensional SNS of stochastic interacting systems have been computed, among which the boundary driven exclusion process and Kipnis-Marchioro-Presutti (KMP) model. The corresponding rate functionals are not local due to the presence of long range correlations. We show for the KMP model that this can be explained by introducing new variables that can be interpreted naturally as the temperatures of the oscillators that are exchanging the energies. When two oscillators exchange energy they thermalize at the same time. We deduce that the invariant measure of the boundary driven KMP model is a mixture of inhomogeneous products of exponential distributions, the law of the mixture is the invariant measure of the auxiliary temperature process. This is a joint work with Anna De Masi and Pablo Ferrari. We show moreover that a similar representation of the invariant measure holds also for the boundary driven harmonic model; in this case the hidden variables are distributed according to the order statistics of uniform random variables. This is a joint work with G. Carinci, C. Franceschini, C. Giardinà and D. Tsagkarogiannis.

Padova seminars in Probability and Finance- Alice Callegaro (TU Munich and Johannes-Gutenberg Universität Mainz)

16 May '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following seminar that will take place on May 26 at 14.30 at the Math Department of Padova. The seminar will be held in person and online via the Zoom platform. The organizers, Alessandra Bianchi, Giorgia Callegaro, Marco Formentin _____________________________________________________ Seminars in Probability and Finance *Speaker:* Alice Callegaro (TU Munich and Johannes-Gutenberg Universität Mainz) *Title:* Survival and complete convergence for a branching annihilating random walk *Date and time*: Friday, May 26, 2023 at 14.30 *Place*: room 2BC30 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova *Zoom link:* https://unipd.zoom.us/j/88429828028 (Meeting ID 884 2982 8028 ) available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ *Abstract:* We study a branching annihilating random walk (BARW) in which particles move on the discrete lattice in discrete generations. Each particle produces a poissonian number of offspring which independently move to a uniformly chosen site within a fixed distance from their parent's position. Whenever a site is occupied by at least two particles, all the particles at that site are annihilated. This can be thought of as a very strong form of local competition and implies that the system is not monotone. For certain ranges of the parameters of the model we show that the system dies out almost surely or, on the other hand, survives with positive probability. In an even more restricted parameter range we strengthen the survival results to complete convergence with a non-trivial invariant measure. A central tool in the proof is comparison with oriented percolation on a coarse-grained level, using carefully tuned density profiles which expand in time and are reminiscent of discrete travelling wave solutions. Based on a joint work with Matthias Birkner (JGU Mainz), Jiří Černý (University of Basel), Nina Gantert (TU Munich) and Pascal Oswald (University of Basel/JGU Mainz). -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/

5th International Workshop on eXplainable Knowledge Discovery in Data Mining -- Call for Papers
by REGOLI DANIELE 16 May '23

16 May '23

XKDD 2023 - Call for Papers ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5th ECML-PKDD International Workshop on eXplainable Knowledge Discovery in Data Mining ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Torino, 18th September 2023 http://xkdd2023.isti.cnr.it/ (co-located with the ECML-PKDD 2023 conference https://2023.ecmlpkdd.org/) CONTEXT & OBJECTIVES In the past decade, machine learning based decision systems have been widely used in a wide range of application domains, like credit score, insurance risk, and health monitoring, in which accuracy is of the utmost importance. Although the support of these systems has an immense potential to improve the decision in different fields, their use may present ethical and legal risks, such as codifying biases, jeopardizing transparency and privacy, and reducing accountability. Unfortunately, these risks arise in different applications. They are made even more serious and subtly by the opacity of recent decision support systems, which are often complex and their internal logic is usually inaccessible to humans. Nowadays, most Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are based on Machine Learning algorithms. The relevance and need for ethics in AI are supported and highlighted by various initiatives arising from the researches to provide recommendations and guidelines in the direction of making AI-based decision systems explainable and compliant with legal and ethical issues. These include the EU's GDPR regulation which introduces, to some extent, a right for all individuals to obtain ``meaningful explanations of the logic involved'' when automated decision making takes place, the ``ACM Statement on Algorithmic Transparency and Accountability'', the Informatics Europe's ``European Recommendations on Machine-Learned Automated Decision Making'' and ``The ethics guidelines for trustworthy AI'' provided by the EU High-Level Expert Group on AI. The challenge to design and develop trustworthy AI-based decision systems is still open and requires a joint effort across technical, legal, sociological and ethical domains. The purpose of XKDD, eXaplaining Knowledge Discovery in Data Mining, is to encourage principled research that will lead to the advancement of explainable, transparent, ethical and fair data mining and machine learning. Also, this year the workshop will seek submissions addressing uncovered important issues in specific fields related to eXplainable AI (XAI), such as XAI for a more Social and Responsible AI, XAI as a tool to align AI with human values, XAI for Outlier and Anomaly Detection, quantitative and qualitative evaluation of XAI approaches, and XAI case studies. The workshop will seek top-quality submissions related to ethical, fair, explainable and transparent data mining and machine learning approaches. Papers should present research results in any of the topics of interest for the workshop, as well as tools and promising preliminary ideas. XKDD asks for contributions from researchers, academia and industries, working on topics addressing these challenges primarily from a technical point of view but also from a legal, ethical or sociological perspective. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: TOPICS - XAI for Social AI - XAI for Responsible AI - XAI to Align AI with Human Values - XAI for Outlier and Anomaly Detection - Quantitative and Qualitative Evaluation of XAI approaches - Transparent-by Design Models - XAI Case studies - XAI for Privacy-Preserving Systems - XAI for Federated Learning - XAI for Time Series based Approaches - XAI for Graph based Approaches - XAI for Visualization - XAI in Human-Machine Interaction - XAI in Human-in-the-Loop Interactions - Counterfactual Explanations - Human-Model Interfaces for XAI approaches - Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) - Interpretable Machine Learning - Transparent Data Mining - XAI for Fairness Checking - Explanation, Accountability and Liability from an Ethical and Legal Perspective Also, the XKDD 2023 edition is co-organized with DynXAI - Explainable Artificial Intelligence: From Static to Dynamic. SUBMISSION & PUBLICATION All contributions will be reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. As regards size, contributions can be up to is 14 pages references excluded in LNCS format, i.e., the ECML PKDD 2023 submission format. All papers should be written in English. The following kinds of submissions will be considered: research papers, tool papers, case study papers and position papers.

SPASS Seminar: Silvia Morlacchi
by Francesco Grotto 13 May '23

13 May '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Effect of Transport Noise on Kelvin–Helmholtz Instability* Silvia Morlacchi (Scuola Normale Superiore) The seminar will take place on TUE, 16.5.2023 at 14:00 CET in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa 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 numerically investigate the effect of transport noise on the Kelvin- Helmholtz instability at the interface of two 2D fluids in a shear flow, to test if the transport noise acts as a stabilizing factor.We exploit the point vortex method as a numerical discretization of the fluid equation of motion. We compare the results of the simulations in three different cases: inviscid and viscous fluid without transport noise, and inviscid fluid perturbed by transport noise. We find that when the transport noise is modeled by a large number of low-intensity point vortices, a delay in the temporal onset of the instability is present in the non viscous case, which resembles what happens in the viscous case.Based on joint work with Franco Flandoli and Andrea Papini.*

Seminar: Daniele Calandriello at Tor Vergata
by Michele Salvi 12 May '23

12 May '23

Dear all, On Wednesday, May 17th, at 12h00 in Aula 2001 (change of usual time and place! Aula 2001 is on the top floor of the Math Department, close to the copy shop) at Roma Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/about.php) will host Daniele Calandriello (Google Deep Mind, Paris) with the seminar “Efficient exploration in stochastic environments" Abstract: Machine learning has seen an explosive growth recently, driven mostly by breakthroughs in classification and generative models. However ML applications in decision making settings are much more limited, where data collection is much higher and ML models must be sufficiently robust and accurate to deal with unforeseen consequences and avoid worst case scenarios. In this talk we will introduce some classical results for online decision making in stochastic linear spaces, with applications to active learning, bandit/bayesian optimization and deep learning. Starting from a rigorous analysis of the noise propagation we can formulate provably robust (i.e. no-regret) algorithms, and then create variants that can scale to modern ML data regimes without sacrificing safety. And if time suffice, we will highlight how these approaches inspired a new wave of exploration techniques to enable reinforcement learning agents to solve extremely long horizon tasks. We encourage in-person partecipation. Should you be unable to come, there will be a Teams link on our webpage published before the start of the talk. The seminar is part of the Excellence Project MatMod@TOV. Next appointment will be 24.05.2023 - Rongfeng Sun (NUS, Singapore), see the details on next events at https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php.

Next OWPS on May 24th: Justin Salez (Université Paris-Dauphine & PSL)
by Alberto Chiarini 12 May '23

12 May '23

OWPS's next session will be on Wednesday the 24th of May from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). Our next speaker is: Justin Salez (Université Paris-Dauphine & PSL) Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. If you are interested in the project, we kindly ask you to share this announcement within your community. With best wishes, Alberto Chiarini (Padua) and Adrián González Casanova (Berkeley and México) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk : Justin Salez (Université Paris-Dauphine & PSL) Title: A new approach to the cutoff phenomenon Abstract: The cutoff phenomenon is an abrupt transition from out of equilibrium to equilibrium undergone by certain Markov processes in the limit where the size of the state space tends to infinity. Discovered forty years ago in the context of card shuffling, it has since then been observed in a variety of examples, from random walks on random graphs to high-temperature spin glasses. Nevertheless, a general theory is still missing, and identifying the precise mechanisms that underlie this phase transition remains one of the biggest challenges in the quantitative analysis of finite Markov chains. In the first part of the lecture, I will try to provide a self-contained introduction to this fascinating question. In the second part, I will describe a new approach based on entropy and curvature, which has recently led to a systematic proof of cutoff for a relatively broad class of chains. Join Zoom Meeting https://unipd.zoom.us/j/84651983262?pwd=N083WWs3RkIyZ0hHckFtbkEzY0xNZz09 Meeting ID: 846 5198 3262 Passcode: 009403 If you are having trouble with zoom, or if the capacity of the zoom room gets exceeded, you can also access to the Youtube live stream at the channel of the seminar: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiLiEQGTp6bZEhuHDM-WNWQ

International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Monica Billio 12 May '23

12 May '23

22nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CREDIT 2023 *Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks * Venice, Italy 21 –22 September 2023 * * *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy), *CRIF* (Bologna, Italy),*European Datawarehouse* (Frankfurt, Germany),*European Investment Bank *(Luxembourg),*European Investment Fund *(Luxembourg) and *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are partners in organasing a Conference to be held in Venice on September 21-22, 2023. The CREDIT 2023 conference will bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in various areas of financial and socio-economic risk with the aim of creating a unique opportunity for participants to discuss research progress and policy as well as industry-relevant insights and directions for future research. The CREDIT 2023 is the*twenty-second *in a series of events dedicated to various aspects of credit risk and organised under the auspices of: the *Department of Economics* and *VERA - Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies - of the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association*,***AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria* and *AIFIRM - Associazione Italiana Financial Industry Risk Managers*. Recent years have seen a series of crises (from health/pandemic to climate/energy) that have not only put a strain on global mechanisms previously seen as robust, but have exacerbated existing weaknesses and so increased vulnerability in new crisis situations. The social impact of the pandemic was partially mitigated by public interventions but social conditions then worsened with the soaring costs of energy, raw materials and inflation more broadly. Social and energy costs, which inevitably weigh on invidual countries and aggravate already delicate local situations (e.g., public debts), have led to growing geopolitical tensions, with global systemic consequences. The CREDIT 2023 conference will be dedicated to Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks to discuss, evaluate and address the near- and medium-term macro-financial impact of persistent crises (“permacrisis”) that can affect the stability of financial as well as socio-economic systems. The organizers encourage submissions on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: * *Socio-economic Stability: *Future development of income (and wealth) inequality and social polarization; Risk, inequality and employment impacts of crises and policies; Gender and skilling issues will increase or help the transition?; * *Sovereign Risks: * Sovereign debt with low economic growth; Long term challenges for fiscal and monetary policies: green transformation, commodity prices, de-globalization and demographic trends; Inflation and exchange rate risks; Environmental and social inter-dependencies; social and environmental preferences and how these affect the stability and macroeconomic wellbeing of a given country; Challenges in measuring the ESG ratings of countries and thus of sovereign debt; * *Geopolitical Risks:* Global supply chain and de-globalization risks for finance; Do international energy price discrepancies pose risks for the competitiveness of EU firms’ and might this have implications for the real exchange rate to?; Risks stemming from accelerating deglobalisation; Cyber-risk vulnerabilities of banks and firms; * *Energy/Commodity Security:* Energy prices and financial performance of firms; Inefficiency of energy markets under scarcity; Transition costs under high energy and resource prices; Volatility of energy-related asset prices (both brown and green) and implications for medium and long term investments in energy production technologies, energy commodity assets and energy infrastructure; Implications of net zero policies for the prices of real estate assets, especially for homeowners and households; * *Long Run Investments and Portfolios:* Stability of asset market equilibria under low returns; Regulation (-demand) driven asset prices; Equilibrium asset price levels under structural transformation and high uncertainty; Net zero pledges and the possible trade-off between sustainability and returns; Engagement versus divesting. The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Elisa Giuliani* (University of Pisa), *Helen Rey *(London Business School), *Roberto Rigobon *(MIT Sloan School of Management), and *Moritz Schularick *(Sciences Po Paris & University of Bonn). The Conference will also include panel discussions on the major issues at stake with the views of researchers', practitioners' and policy makers and a session dedicated to the EU funded project *TranspArEEnS*. The SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE for the Conference consists of: *Moritz Schularick *(Sciences Po Paris & University of Bonn, Programme Chair) *Francesca Campolongo* (Joint Research Center, European Commission) *Rajna Gibson* (University of Geneva & Geneva Finance Research Institute) *Helmut Kraemer-Eis* (European Investment Fund) *Jan Pieter Krahnen *(Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Goethe University) *Steven Ongena *(University of Zurich, Swiss Finance Institute, KU Leuven, NTNU Business School & CEPR) *Loriana Pelizzon *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Goethe University) *Roberto Rigobon* (MIT Sloan School of Management) *Stephen Schaefer *(London Business School) *Marti Subrahmanyam *(NYU Stern Business School) *Christoph Trebesch* (Kiel Institute) CALL FOR PAPERS Those wishing to present a paper at the Conference should submit by *May 31, 2023 *to the address given below (preferably in electronic format).

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Mercoledi 10 Maggio 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Regina Liu* (Rutgers University, USA) Title: *Fusion Learning: Combining Inferences from Diverse Data Sources* Abstract: Advanced data collection technology nowadays has often made inferences from diverse data sources easily accessible. Fusion learning refers to combining inferences from multiple sources or studies to make a more effective overall inference than that from any individual source or study alone. We focus on the tasks: 1) Whether/When to combine inferences? 2) How to combine inferences efficiently? 3) How to combine inference to enhance an individual or target study? We present a general framework for nonparametric and efficient fusion learning for inference on multi-parameters, which may be correlated. The main tool underlying this framework is the new notion of depth confidence distribution (depth-CD), which is developed by combining data depth, bootstrap and confidence distributions. We show that a depth-CD is an omnibus form of confidence regions, whose contours of level sets shrink toward the true parameter value, and thus an all-encompassing inferential tool. The approach is shown to be efficient, general and robust. It readily applies to heterogeneous studies with a broad range of complex and irregular settings. This property also enables the approach to utilize indirect evidence from incomplete studies to gain efficiency for the overall inference. The approach will be shown with simulation studies and real applications in aircraft landing performance tracking and in financial forecasting. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89011414757?pwd=M2xDT3g1cy9kNm50REdoYUEzdU9sdz09> 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/>
