SPASS seminar: Nicos Georgiou - Wed 25 Mar at 14:00
by Elia Bisi 17 Mar '26

17 Mar '26

Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to invite you to the following SPASS seminar (jointly organised by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi): Speaker: Nicos Georgiou (University of Sussex) Title: The totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) on Galton-Watson trees Date and time: Wed 25th March at 14:00 Place: Room 107, Centro Didattico Morgagni, University of Florence Join online: meet.google.com/esm-ijgd-wai On behalf of the organisers, Elia Bisi ********************* Abstract: We define a totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on trees, where the particles enter the tree from a reservoir attached to the root. Particles can only jump following edges on the tree and only if they are jumping away from the root, to a non-occupied vertex. We are interested in two different aspects of this particle system. First we want to investigate the current of particles across a given generation at a specific time, when we start from an initially empty initial condition. Second, we would like some current estimates along a ray. Both answers depend heavily on our choice of jump rates for the particles and different regimes of behaviour will be presented during the talk. ————————— Elia Bisi Assistant Professor (RTT) University of Florence Department of Mathematics & Computer Science Personal homepage Florence Probability group

Seminario Paolo Baldi - Politecnico di Milano - 24 Marzo 2026
by Luca Scarpa 16 Mar '26

16 Mar '26

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati. Martedì 24 Marzo 2026, ore 14:30. Aula Seminari VI Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano. Speaker: Paolo Baldi. Title: Around Large Deviations in a Gaussian world. Abstract: The investigation of Large Deviations estimates in the Gaussian setting begins with the results of Donsker and Varadhan concerning the LD behavior of a Gaussian r.v. with values in a separable Banach space when multiplied by a small parameter. In this talk, after a review of the old results I shall present some new extensions, motivated by the investigation of Gaussian processes in small time.

Seminar by Prof. Michel Mandjes at IMT Lucca | March 18th, 2026
by Anna Gallo 16 Mar '26

16 Mar '26

Dear all, On behalf of Prof. Diego Garlaschelli, I am pleased to announce that next week *Professor Michel Mandjes *will visit IMT Lucca and give a seminar entitled *Inference Problems in Stochastic Networks *(see abstract below). The seminar will take place on: *March 18th, 2026 – 3:00 PM*San Francesco Complex – Sagrestia Join online at imt.lu/sagrestia. All the best, Anna ------------------------------------------------ *Abstract*: The majority of the random graph literature focuses on inherently static models, in which features of the graph are considered only at a single point in time. Yet there are strong practical motivations to study stochastically evolving graphs, which capture the inherent dynamics of real-world networks. Moreover, one can even consider stochastic processes evolving on these dynamic graphs, further enriching the modeling framework. The main focus of my talk is on estimating, in the framework discussed above, model parameters from partial information. For example, in a first basic variant, we demonstrate how the underlying parameters of a dynamic random graph can be inferred from snapshots of the subgraph counts. A second model is an age-structured branching process, the most elementary instance being a setting with just juveniles and adults. Remarkably, the model parameters can be estimated just observing the total population. Next, I consider a static network of nodes represented as infinite-server queues. Our goal is to estimate key parameters — such as arrival rates, service-time distributions, and the routing matrix — using observations of the network’s population vector at Poisson-sampled time points. We propose a method-of-moments estimator and establish its consistency. Numerical experiments show that this approach provides accurate estimates even in high-dimensional settings. We present two variants: one assuming a known parametric form for the service-time distributions, and a "model-free version" that does not rely on such assumptions. Finally, we study a population process evolving on a dynamic random graph. Using time series data on the number of individuals at each node, we successfully estimate parameters governing the graph dynamics. We prove that the estimator is asymptotically normal.
