Seminar at Scuola Normale Superiore, 15 February 2018, Luciano Campi
by Giulia 22 Jan '18

22 Jan '18

Dear all, On Thursday, 15 February 2018 — from 11:00 to 13:00 — at the Scuola Normale Superiore (Room: Mancini) Prof. Luciano Campi (London School of Economics) will hold the following Seminar: Title : Nonzero-sum stochastic differential games with impulse controls: a verification theorem with applications Abstract: We consider a general nonzero-sum impulse game with two players. The main mathematical contribution of the paper is a verification theorem which provides, under some regularity conditions, a suitable system of quasi-variational inequalities for the value functions and the optimal strategies of the two players. As an application, we study an impulse game with a one-dimensional state variable, following a real-valued scaled Brownian motion, and two players with linear and symmetric running payoffs. We fully characterize a Nash equilibrium and provide explicit expressions for the optimal strategies and the value functions. We also prove some asymptotic results with respect to the intervention costs. Finally, we consider two further non-symmetric examples where a Nash equilibrium is found numerically. Fill free to forward this announcement to your colleagues. Best Giulia Livieri Assegnista di ricerca Scuola Normale Superiore Piazza dei Cavalieri, 7, 56126 Pisa PI room 65

Reminder - mini-workshop on "Machine Learning and Big Data Analytics with MATLAB" at Roma Tre University
by Francesco Cesarone 19 Jan '18

19 Jan '18

Dear Colleagues, on 23 January 2018 from 14:00 to 17:00 (Computer Lab, ground floor, Department of Business Studies-Roma Tre University, Via Silvio D'Amico, 77 -00145, Roma), Dr. Francesca Perino, Application Engineer at MathWorks, will hold a mini-workshop on "Machine Learning and Big Data Analytics with MATLAB". The attendance of the course is free, but for organizational reasons it is necessary to register to register on the following web page: https://it.mathworks.com/company/events/seminars/ml-da- with-matlab-2373496.html. *Overview* *At the heart of many financial applications are machine learning techniques used for risk classification, economic analysis, credit scoring, time series forecasting, estimating default probabilities, and data mining. Big data represents an opportunity for quantitative analysts and data scientists alike to impact the way organizations make informed business decisions. By building machine learning models that harness big data, a greater level of insight and confidence can be achieved.* *However, implementing and comparing machine learning techniques to choose the best method can be challenging. Furthermore, there is no single approach to solving the many challenges arising from working with big data. MATLAB minimizes these challenges by providing you with a number of built-in functions and tools for quick prototyping, integration, and scaling, to take you from initial prototype all the way to business-critical production system.* *In this session, we will introduce ways of working with big data systems, the different types of machine learning techniques in MATLAB, how to determine the best techniques for your problem by evaluating model performance, and rapidly deploying your machine learning models into production. We will cover several new workflows and data types in MATLAB and the toolboxes that have been designed to address the most common challenges with big data analytics and machine learning.* *Highlights* *Data management and integration with databases, live market data, and big data environments* *Efficient workflows for heterogenous time-series data using new data management capabilities* *Parallel Computing techniques to speed up long-running computations and deal with out-of-memory data* *Predictive modeling and using supervised machine learning techniques to build a credit rating engine* We look forward to meeting you in Roma Tre!

Seminario a RM1

18 Jan '18

Seminario di Probabilita' Aula di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, La Sapienza Lunedi' 22 Gennaio, ore 16.00 Speaker: A. Chiarini (ETH Zurigo) Title: Invariance principle for the degenerate dynamic random conductance model. Abstract: After the brilliant result of Papanicolau and Varadhan (1979) in the case of bounded stationary and ergodic environments, there has been a recent upsurge in the research of quenched homogenization in random media. In particular, to identify the optimal conditions that a general stationary and ergodic environment must satisfy in order to obtain the convergence to a non-degenerate Brownian motion, is still an open problem. In this talk, we study a continuous-time random walk on Z^d in an environment of dynamic random conductances. We assume that the law of the conductances is ergodic and stationary with respect to space-time shifts. We prove a quenched invariance principle for the random walk under some moment conditions on the environment. The key result on the sublinearity of the corrector is obtained by the celebrated Moser’s iteration scheme. This is joint work with S. Andres, J-D. Deuschel and M. Slowik. ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************
