Logic, Uncertainty and Games Summer School
by hykel hosni 06 Apr '18

06 Apr '18

*FINAL CALL FOR APPLICATIONS* Logic, Uncertainty and Games Summer School (LUG2018) Lake Como School of Advanced Studies 9th-13th July 2018 Aims and structure ================== The goal of the Logic, Uncertainty and Games School is to contribute towards the creation of cross-disciplinary common grounds for research on rational reasoning and (interactive) decision making under uncertainty. To this end the School will feature three eight-hour tutorials delivered by leading experts in the fields of Logic, Uncertainty and Games. Each tutorial is followed by one (or more) example-class session aimed at developing in greater detail one specific topic (e.g. the full proof of a theorem or a generalisation of a notion which is being used in a particular case). Finally, graduate students and junior researchers will deliver Work-in-progress sessions. This will provide them a unique opportunity to receive feedback from the School lecturers, while developing strong inter-disciplinary communication skills. The summer school is co-located with the LOFT 2018 workshop, to be held on the following week (16-18 July) at Bocconi University, Milan Confirmed tutorial speakers =========================== Logic ~~~~~ Sophie Pinchinat (Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Rennes 1) Uncertainty ~~~~~~~~~~~ Sujoy Mukerji (School of Economics and Finance, Queen Mary London) Games ~~~~~ Burkhard C. Schipper (Department of Economics, University of California, Davis) Closing lecture ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Joe Halpern (Computer Science Department, Cornell University) How to apply ============ We invite applications from up to 35 advanced postgraduate students and early career researchers from Economics, Computer Science, Philosophy, and related disciplines to participate. The application process will be competitive and participants will be selected according to research interests and, whenever meaningful, publications. To apply visit [http://lucg.lakecomoschool.org/application/] In case you intend to give a presentation, you should add to your application: - the title of your talk - one page abstract of your contribution Registration fees ================= There is a registration fee of 250 euro (VAT 22% included) which covers all lectures; course material; wi-fi connections; lunches and coffee breaks; social dinner. Limited financial support may be available for strong applicants who do not have access to funding, please see the application webpage for details. Deadlines ========= - Application: April 10, 2018 - Notification of acceptance: May 2, 2018 - Registration (only accepted students): May 15, 2018 School Directors ================ Pierpaolo Battigalli, Università Bocconi, pierpaolo.battigalli(a)unibocconi.it Hykel Hosni, Università degli studi di Milano and Università Bocconi hykel.hosni(a)unibocconi.it Massimo Marinacci, Università Bocconi, massimo.marinacci(a)unibocconi.it

Seminario LISEO
by Matteo Ruggiero 06 Apr '18

06 Apr '18

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Venerdì 13 Aprile 2018, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Brunero LISEO (Università di Roma La Sapienza) MODELLING PREFERENCE DATA WITH THE WALLENIUS DISTRIBUTION The Wallenius distribution is a generalisation of the Hypergeometric distribution where weights are assigned to balls of different colours. This naturally defines a model for ranking categories which can be used for classification purposes. Since, in general, the resulting likelihood is not analytically available, we adopt an approximate Bayesian computational (ABC) approach for estimating the importance of the categories. We illustrate the performance of the estimation procedure on simulated datasets. Finally, we use the new model for analysing two datasets about movies ratings and Italian academic statisticians' journal preferences. The latter is a novel dataset collected by the authors. This is a joint work with Clara Grazian and Fabrizio Leisen. ------------------------------------------------ Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto. Cordiali saluti, Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it

Seminar by Giacomo Livan, UCL April 19, 2018 11:00 AM @Bologna, Viale Filopanti 5 Aula Studio (ex Sala Biblioteca)
by Giacomo Bormetti 06 Apr '18

06 Apr '18

? Dear all, Thursday April 19, 2018 at 11:00 AM in Aula Studio (ex Sala Biblioteca) 1st floor, Viale Filopanti, 5 Bologna. Giacomo Livan University College London will present Detecting and measuring bias in online platforms: A Network Science approach The last few years have witnessed the rise of the Sharing Economy, a collection of decentralized online platforms whose users exchange knowledge, goods, and resources on a peer-to-peer basis. Sharing Economy platforms are often praised for their meritocratic approach, where all participants, regardless of their gender or ethnicity, receive the same opportunities to emerge through digital peer review mechanisms. Yet, they have recently come under fire due to reports of discriminatory behaviours and manipulations of their reputation systems. This raises an important question: are Sharing Economy platforms fair marketplaces, where all participants operate on a level playing field, or are they large-scale online aggregators of offline human biases? In this talk I will address this question on a number of examples, showing how online platforms can be represented in terms of networks, and how this allows to detect and measure some of the biases that might affect their users' behaviour. In particular, I will present clear evidence of avoidance between users from different ethnic backgrounds on Airbnb, and I will show how user reputation scores are distorted by the widespread practice of reciprocating highly positive ratings in a variety of platforms. I will conclude by discussing how these findings can be used to provide platform design recommendations, aimed at exposing and possibly reducing the biases we detect, in support of a fairer and more inclusive growth of Sharing Economy platforms. ? Feel free to forward this message to anyone who is potentially interested in. Best, Giacomo Giacomo Bormetti Professore associato Metodi matematici per l'economia e le scienze attuariali e finanziarie Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Bologna?

Fwd: Avviso seminario_Carlo Orrieri _10 aprile 2018_ore 11:45
by Stefano Bonaccorsi 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

Carissimi, il Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Trento invita gli interessati al seguente seminario:Controlled interacting particle systems *martedì 10 Aprile 2018* *Luogo: *Dipartimento di Matematica, via Sommarive, 14 - Povo (TN) - Aula Seminari "-1" *Ore*: 11:45 *Relatore * - *Carlo Orrieri *(Università di Roma la Sapienza) *Abstract:* We want to connect the optimal control of Vlasov-type PDEs with large systems of controlled interacting particles. The main difference towards the classical mean-field theory is the presence of a central planner influencing the dynamic. In order to rigorously develop a limit theory for this problem we employ the concept of Gamma-convergence. We finally discuss some connections with large deviations theory. The talk is mostly based on a joint paper with M. Fornasier, S. Lisini and G. Savare. *Referente*: Stefano Bonaccorsi
