Seminario Yen-Chi Chen a Roma Tor Vergata
by Anna Vidotto 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

I would like to announce the following talk that will be held on Tuesday July 16th 2019, at 4:30 PM, in Aula D’Antoni (1101) of the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome Tor Vergata. Speaker: Yen-Chi Chen (University of Washington) Title: Analyzing GPS data using density ranking Abstract: A common approach for analyzing a point cloud is based on estimating the underlying probability density function. However, in complex datasets such as GPS data, the underlying distribution function is singular so the usual density function no longer exist. To analyze this type of data, we introduce a statistical model for GPS data in the form of a mixture model with different dimensions. To derive a meaningful surrogate of the probability density, we propose a quantity called density ranking. Density ranking is a quantity representing the intensity of observations around a given point that can be defined in a singular measure. We then show that one can consistently estimate the density ranking using a kernel density estimator even in a singular distribution such as the GPS data. We apply density ranking to GPS datasets to analyze activity spaces of individuals.

Seminario Christian Keller in Bicocca
by elena bandini 03 Jul '19

03 Jul '19

Lunedi' 8 luglio alle ore 11:00, nell’aula 3014 del Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni dell’Università di Milano-Bicocca, in Via R. Cozzi 55, si terrà il seguente seminario: Speaker: Christian Keller (University of Central Florida) Title: Path-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi equations in infinite dimensions Abstract: We propose notions of minimax and viscosity solutions for a class of fully nonlinear path-dependent PDEs with nonlinear, monotone, and coercive operators on Hilbert space. Our main result is well-posedness (existence, uniqueness, and stability) for minimax solutions. A particular novelty is a suitable combination of minimax and viscosity solution techniques in the proof of the comparison principle. One of the main difficulties, the lack of compactness in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, is circumvented by working with suitable compact subsets of our path space. As an application, our theory makes it possible to employ the dynamic programming approach to study optimal control problems for a fairly general class of (delay) evolution equations in the variational framework. Furthermore, differential games associated to such evolution equations can be investigated following the Krasovskii-Subbotin approach similarly as in finite dimensions. This talk is based on joint work with Erhan Bayraktar.

Seminario Marianna Pensky a Roma Tor Vergata
by Anna Vidotto 02 Jul '19

02 Jul '19

Dear all, I would like to announce the following talk that will be held on Friday *July* *12th* 2019, at *4:30 PM*, in *Aula D’Antoni (1101)* of the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome Tor Vergata. *Speaker:* Marianna Pensky (University of Central Florida) *Title:* *Estimation and Clustering in Popularity Adjusted Stochastic Block Model * *Abstract:* Stochastic networks in general and stochastic block models in particular attracted a lot of attention in the last decade. The talk considers the Popularity Adjusted Block model (PABM) which generalizes the Stochastic Block model and the Degree Corrected Block Model by allowing more flexibility for block probabilities. We argue that the main appeal of the PABM is its less rigid spectral structure which makes the PABM an attractive choice for modeling networks that appear in biological sciences. Based on a joint work with Majid Noroozi and Ramchandra Rimal.

Seminario: Lorenzo Trippa, Adaptive trial design in glioblastoma
by Antonio Pievatolo 28 Jun '19

28 Jun '19

Thursday 4 July 2019 at 14:30 Lorenzo Trippa, Harvard University and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Department of Statistics and Computational Biology CNR IMATI, Via A. Corti, 12, Milano, Aula B *Adaptive trial design in glioblastoma* There have been few treatment advances for patients with glioblastoma (GBM) despite increasing scientific understanding of the disease. While factors such as intrinsic tumor biology and drug delivery are challenges to developing efficacious therapies, it is unclear whether the current clinical trial landscape is optimally evaluating new therapies and biomarkers. We queried ClinicalTrials.gov for interventional clinical trials for patients with GBM initiated between January 2005 and December 2016 and abstracted data regarding phase, status, start and end dates, testing locations, endpoints, experimental interventions, sample size, clinical presentation/indication, and design to better understand the clinical trials landscape. Only approximately 8%–11% of patients with newly diagnosed GBM enroll on clinical trials with a similar estimate for all patients with GBM. Trial duration was similar across phases with median time to completion between 3 and 4 years. While 93% of clinical trials were in phases I–II, 26% of the overall clinical trial patient population was enrolled on phase III studies. We use the results of this meta analysis to discuss pros and cons of trial designs in GBM. This analysis includes platforms and the use of external controls. Platform design allow to add new experimental arms to the clinical study when they become available, while the aim of an external controls is to leverage external data that were not generated from the clinical study. -- Dr Antonio Pievatolo IMATI-CNR http://www.imati.cnr.it/joomla/index.php/people?layout=edit&id=101 ph. +39 02 23699 520

EXTENDED Submission deadline July 31, 2019 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open Position for a post-doc scientist at Géoazur (https://geoazur.oca.eu/fr/acc-geoazur) in collaboration with Inria (https://www.inria.fr/en/centre/sophia) at Sophia Antipolis (Nice region), France, in the area of Computer Vision, Deep Learning and Remote Sensing applied to curvilinear detection on both optical and SAR satellite images (project abstract below). Both Geoazur and Inria Sophia Antipolis are ideally located in the heart of the French Riviera, inside the multi-cultural silicon valley of Europe (ie. Sophia-Antipolis, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophia_Antipolis) This position is funded by University Côte d'Azur (UCA, see http://univ-cotedazur.fr/en#.XOforoWTpT4) Duration: 18 months Starting date: between September 1st and December 1st 2019. Salary: gross salary per month 3000 EUR (ie. approximately 2400 EUR net) Please see full announcement https://faultsrgems.oca.eu/images/FAULT/News/Post-doc_offer-AI-ManighettiZe…, or on https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/411481 Candidate profile Strong academic backgrounds in Stochastic Modeling, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, Remote Sensing and Parallel Programming with GPUs and/or multicore CPUs. A decent knowledge of Earth and telluric features (especially faults) will be appreciated.

The application should contain: - a motivation letter demonstrating motivation, academic strengths and related experience to this position. - CV including publication list - at least two major publications in pdf - minimum 2 reference letters Project abstract Curvilinear structure networks are widespread in both nature and anthropogenic systems, ranging from angiography, earth and environment sciences, to biology and anthropogenic activities. Recovering the existence and architecture of these curvilinear networks is an essential and fundamental task in all the related domains. At present, there has been an explosion of image data documenting these curvilinear structure networks. Therefore, it is of upmost importance to develop numerical approaches that may assist us efficiently to automatically extract curvilinear networks from image data. In recent years, a bulk of works have been proposed to extract curvilinear networks. However, automated and high-quality curvilinear network extraction is still a challenging task nowadays. This is mainly due to the network shape complexity, low-contrast in images, and high annotation cost for training data. To address the problems aroused by these difficulties, this project intends to develop a novel, minimally-supervised curvilinear network extraction method by combining deep neural networks with active learning, where the deep neural networks are employed to automatically learn hierarchical and data-driven features of curvilinear networks, and the active learning is exploited to achieve high-quality extraction using as few annotations as possible. Furthermore, composite and hierarchical heuristic rules will be designed to constrain the geometry of curvilinear structures and guide the curvilinear graph growing. The proposed approach will be tested and validated on extraction of tectonic fractures and faults from a dense collection of satellite and aerial data and “ground truth” available at the Géoazur laboratory in the framework of the Faults_R_Gems project co-funded by the University Côte d’Azur (UCA) and the French National Research Agency (ANR). Then we intend to apply the new automatic extraction approaches to other scenarios, as road extraction in remote sensing images of the Nice region, and blood vessel extraction in available medical image databases. -- Josiane Zerubia INRIA Sophia-Antipolis Méditerranée BP 93, 2004 Route des Lucioles 06902 Sophia-Antipolis Cedex - France phone: +33 4 92 38 78 65, fax: +33 4 92 38 78 58 email: Josiane.Zerubia(a)inria.fr web: http://www-sop.inria.fr/members/Josiane.Zerubia/index-eng.html

Corso Enrico Scalas presso UNISA
by Barbara Martinucci 22 Jun '19

22 Jun '19

Università degli Studi di Salerno Dipartimento di Matematica Si rende noto che nel periodo 25 giugno - 12 luglio 2019 si terrà il corso di dottorato "From Markov chains to semi-Markov processes: The consequences of time change". Le lezioni saranno tenute dal Prof. Enrico Scalas, Professor of Statistics & Probability, University of Sussex, UK (pagina web: http://www.sussex.ac.uk/profiles/330303) e si terranno nella sala del consiglio del Dipartimento di Matematica secondo il seguente calendario: - lezione 1 (2 ore): martedì 25 giugno, ore 11:00-13:00; - lezione 2 (3 ore): venerdì 28 giugno, ore 10:00-13:00; - lezione 3 (3 ore): martedì 2 luglio, ore 10:00-13:00; - lezione 4 (3 ore): giovedì 4 luglio, ore 10:00-13:00; - lezione 5 (2 ore): martedì 9 luglio, ore 11:00-13:00; - lezione 6 (3 ore): venerdì 12 luglio, ore 10:00-13:00. Gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. I contenuti del corso sono riportati qui di seguito. Research context What happens if the discrete time at which innovations occur for a Markov chain is replaced by a counting process? If the counting process is the Poisson process, one still gets a Markov process. On the contrary, if the counting process is of renewal type, the resulting process is no longer Markovian: It becomes a semi-Markov process. Semi-Markov processes have infinite memory and are naturally related to non-local operators in time such as the so-called Caputo derivative that appears when the expected values of inter-event times diverge. For this reason, there has been a surge of interest on these processes in recent years. Syllabus: 1.

Seminario: Samuele Stivanello, Ecology of human activities
by Antonio Pievatolo 11 Jun '19

11 Jun '19

Lunedi' 17 giugno alle 14:45, presso il CNR-IMATI, in via A. Corti, 12, Milano, Aula Pentagonale edificio Bassini II piano, si terrà il seguente seminario: Samuele Stivanello, Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita' di Padova Title: Ecology of human activities Abstract: One of the most studied macro-ecological pattern is the Relative Species Abundance (RSA), describing the distribution of the population among species. Various natural ecosystems share a common shape of the empirical RSA and through years ecologists have used several recipes - some of them are rule of thumb prescriptions - to determine global RSA features from local information. Recently our group has developed a rigorous statistical framework able to predict global scale biodiversity from scattered local plots ([2], [3]). Such a framework is derived from a simple mathematical model informed by basic biological assumptions. In this talk we illustrate how to adapt/generalize such an approach to human activities. In particular we consider four datasets of man-made systems and/or network mediated human activities: e-mail communication, Twitter posts, Wikipedia articles and Gutenberg books. Once we set the proper correspondence to what we consider species and individuals of a species, our approach reveals RSA is scale-free in each mentioned dataset with a power law form maintained - with roughly the same exponent - through the different human activities considered. In turn, RSA scale-invariance allows us to use activity information on local scale to predict hidden features of the human dynamics at the global scale. E-mail communication is particular relevant to illustrate our method as well as our results and possible applications. We consider the senders’ activity network where each node is a sender and a directed link from node A to node B represents an email issued from user A to user B. We set the identity of a sender to identify the species and the number of sent emails to be the individuals pertaining to a species. Thus, for instance, if user A has sent n emails we say that the species A has n individuals. Now, suppose an observer has access to a small sample of sent emails, or equivalently to partial information on links and nodes of the email communication network. Our method is capable to infer the number of nodes (i.e. the number of users) and the degree distribution (i.e. the topology) of the whole network, thus revealing features of the dynamics unknown to the observer. Moreover, our framework predicts how the number of users grows with the number of links recorded, which represents another well known pattern in ecology called the Species-Accumulation Curve (SAC). These findings may have applications in resource management, optimal network design and information diffusion on graphs. This is a work in collaboration with M. Formentin, A. Tovo and S. Favaro [1].

Set valued risk measures and Systemic risk measures at LUISS
by Sara 10 Jun '19

10 Jun '19

On July 2 from 10:30 to 13:00 - Room 207, at LUISS, viale Romania 32, Roma, prof. Cagin Ararat from Bilkent University will give two talks: Talk I Title: Set-valued quasiconvex risk measures Abstract: Set-valued risk measures are defined naturally in environments where it is necessary to measure the risk of a random vector. In this talk, we consider set-valued risk measures that are defined as compositions of two set-valued functions. This class of risk measures is rich enough to cover many examples of the systemic risk measures studied in the recent literature. We pay special attention to the properties of the constituent set-valued functions that guarantee the quasiconvexity of the composite risk measure. It turns out that the so-called natural quasiconvexity property, an old but not so well-known property between convexity and quasiconvexity, plays a key role in the study of these risk measures. The main results provide dual representations for quasiconvex, naturally quasiconvex and convex compositions in terms of the dual functions of the constituents. Talk II Title: Computation of systemic risk measures Abstract: Various approaches to measure systemic risk have been proposed in the recent literature using multivariate functionals. These functionals are typically defined in terms of a so-called aggregation function, which takes into account the interconnectedness of the institutions in the network, and a univariate risk measure applied to the random output of the aggregation function. In this talk, we specialize into the Eisenberg-Noe and Rogers-Veraart network models and formulate the corresponding systemic risk measures as large-scale vector optimization problems. While the former model yields a convex problem which can be solved efficiently using non-smooth optimization techniques, the efficient frontier for the latter model turns out to be the boundary of a non-convex set. -- Sara Biagini, Professor of Mathematical Finance Department of Economics and Finance LUISS Guido Carli Address: viale Romania, 32 - 00197 Roma Web: http://sites.google.com/site/sarabiagini/

seminario Drivas a Pisa
by Marco Romito 09 Jun '19

09 Jun '19

dear all this is to announce that Theodore Drivas (Princeton University) will give a talk on *next Wednesday, June 12* at 11am in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Pisa (largo B. Pontecorvo 5, 56127 Pisa). cheers m. *Title*: /Spontaneously stochastic solutions in dynamical systems with singularities/ *Abstract*: We consider a class of dynamical systems described by ordinary differential equations with an isolated singularity, where the singularity is characterized by the lack of Lipschitz continuity. Singularities are common in applications both for ODEs (e.g., particles collisions) and PDEs (e.g., finite-time blowup in fluid models). The fundamental obstacle is that solutions cannot be continued past the singularity uniquely: typically, there are infinitely many solutions. The conventional way to proceed is to define a regularization limit, such as vanishing viscosity or noise. It turns out that there are structurally stable situations when such a limit is not sensitive to a particular form of the regularization. This is explained by the analysis of attractors for the rescaled (non-singular) dynamical system and their ergodic properties. What is even more surprising is that solutions in this limit may become probabilistic (spontaneously stochastic) with the unique probability measure past the singularity. We will present rigorous results and discuss applications of this phenomenon.

Peter Parczewski, Mannheim University Abstract We present a general mean squared error expansion for optimal approximation of Wiener functionals based on finite and equidistant observations of the Brownian motion.The expansion is given in terms of Malliavin calculus and the terms involved exhibit Hilbert space structures. This gives lower error bounds for arbitrary numerical schemes which are constructed from an equidistant information of the Brownian motion. Due to this expansion we are able to recover and improve many results on optimal approximation of Ito SDEs and anticipating SDEs, where the integral is interpreted in Skorohod sense, a mean zero extension of the Ito integral to nonadapted integrands.

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Venerdì 14 Giugno 2019, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Subhashis GHOSHAL (North Carolina State University) POSTERIOR CONTRACTION AND CREDIBLE SETS FOR FILAMENTS OF REGRESSION FUNCTIONS The filament of a smooth function f consists of local maximizers of f when moving in a certain direction. The filament is an important geometrical feature of the surface of the graph of a function. It is also considered as an important lower dimensional summary in analyzing multivariate data. There have been some recent theoretical studies on estimating filaments of a density function using a nonparametric kernel density estimator. In this talk, we consider a Bayesian approach and concentrate on the nonparametric regression problem. We study the posterior contraction rates for filaments using a finite random series of B-splines prior on the regression function. Compared with the kernel method, this has the advantage that the bias can be better controlled when the function is smoother, which allows obtaining better rates. Under an isotropic Holder smoothness condition, we obtain the posterior contraction rate for the filament under two different metrics — a distance of separation along an integral curve, and the Hausdorff distance between sets. Moreover, we construct credible sets of optimal size for the filament with sufficient frequentist coverage. We study the performance of our proposed method through a simulation study and apply on a dataset on California earthquakes to assess the fault-line of the maximum local earthquake intensity. ------------------------------------------------ Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

seminario Georg Pflug in Bicocca
by Fabio Bellini 31 May '19

31 May '19

Il giorno giovedì 6 giugno alle ore 10.30 presso la Aula Seminari 4026 del DISMEQ, al IV piano dell'edificio U7, il prof. Georg Pflug della Università di Vienna terrà un seminario su Model uncertainty in option pricing: challenging the Black-Scholes formula Abstract It is well known that the validity of the Black-Scholes (BS) formula is restricted to the case, when the Market model is a geometric Brownian motion and therefore admits only one Martingale measure. We consider the situation, when the decision is made on the basis of an acceptability measure (the dual of a risk measure) and the market model is not exactly known, but it is known that it belongs to some ambiguity set of models. We demonstrate that in this case a nonzero bid-ask spread appears, even if the market model is close to the BS model. The bid-ask spread increases with the degree of model uncertainty, but decreases with the acceptability level. The results are based on a duality theorem for ambiguous decisions. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. -- Prof. Fabio Bellini Department of Statistics and Quantitative Methods University of Milano-Bicocca Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi 8, 20126 Milano 0039-2-64483119 http://scholar.google.it/citations?user=P61L8P4AAAAJ&hl=it

The application should contain: * a motivation letter demonstrating motivation, academic strengths and related experience to this position. * CV including publication list * at least two major publications in pdf * minimum 2 reference letters *Project abstract* Curvilinear structure networks are widespread in both nature and anthropogenic systems, ranging from angiography, earth and environment sciences, to biology and anthropogenic activities. Recovering the existence and architecture of these curvilinear networks is an essential and fundamental task in all the related domains. At present, there has been an explosion of image data documenting these curvilinear structure networks. Therefore, it is of upmost importance to develop numerical approaches that may assist us efficiently to automatically extract curvilinear networks from image data. In recent years, a bulk of works have been proposed to extract curvilinear networks. However, automated and high-quality curvilinear network extraction is still a challenging task nowadays. This is mainly due to the network shape complexity, low-contrast in images, and high annotation cost for training data. To address the problems aroused by these difficulties, this project intends to develop a novel, minimally-supervised curvilinear network extraction method by combining deep neural networks with active learning, where the deep neural networks are employed to automatically learn hierarchical and data-driven features of curvilinear networks, and the active learning is exploited to achieve high-quality extraction using as few annotations as possible. Furthermore, composite and hierarchical heuristic rules will be designed to constrain the geometry of curvilinear structures and guide the curvilinear graph growing. The proposed approach will be tested and validated on extraction of tectonic fractures and faults from a dense collection of satellite and aerial data and “ground truth” available at the Géoazur laboratory in the framework of the Faults_R_Gems project co-funded by the University Côte d’Azur (UCA) and the French National Research Agency (ANR). Then we intend to apply the new automatic extraction approaches to other scenarios, as road extraction in remote sensing images of the Nice region, and blood vessel extraction in available medical image databases. phone: +33 4 92 38 78 65, fax: +33 4 92 38 78 58 email: Josiane.Zerubia(a)inria.fr web: http://www-sop.inria.fr/members/Josiane.Zerubia/index-eng.html -- Josiane Zerubia INRIA Sophia-Antipolis Méditerranée BP 93, 2004 Route des Lucioles 06902 Sophia-Antipolis Cedex - France

Dear all, I would like to announce the following talk that will be held on Friday June 7th 2019, at 4:30 PM, in Aula D’Antoni (1101) of the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome Tor Vergata. Speaker: Vlad Bally (Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée) Title: Convergence in Distribution Norms in the CLT and Application to Trigonometric Polynomials Abstract: Under some regularity condition on the random variables at hand, we prove convergence in distribution norms in the CLT and we also derive some local developments (Edgeworth expansions). We use these results in order to study the asymptotic behavior of the number of roots of trigonometric polynomials with random coefficients. — This talk is part of the activity of the MIUR Excellence Department Project CUP E83C18000100006 — Kind regards, Anna Vidotto --------- Anna Vidotto PostDoc Researcher Dipartimento di Matematica Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata https://sites.google.com/view/annavidotto
