| Thu 12 Feb 2026 14:00 - 15:00 | Seminar: Dalia Chakrabarty (University of York): How Newton helps to forecast accurately Centre for Probability, Statistics and Data Science The state – i.e. "location" and "rate" – that a mechanistic system attains at a future time, is deterministically computable, given the state it is in now, since we know the potential function that causally connects any two states attained... |
| Wed 11 Feb 2026 13:00 - 14:00 | Seminar: Alexandre Stauffer (King's College London): Non-monotone phase transition in interacting particle systems Centre for Probability, Statistics and Data Science In this talk we will discuss a reaction-diffusion particle system which has a non-monotone phase transition. I will explain the techniques used to analyze monotone models and how they can be refined to analyze non-monotone particle systems.Based on... |

| Thu 29 Jan 2026 14:00 - 15:00 | Seminar: Rowland Seymour (Birmingham): Comparative Judgement Modeling to Map Forced Marriage at Local Levels Centre for Probability, Statistics and Data Science Forcing someone into marriage against their will is a violation of their human rights. In 2021, the county of Nottinghamshire, UK, launched a strategy to tackle forced marriage and violence against women and girls. We set out to map the risk of... |
| Thu 22 Jan 2026 14:00 - 15:00 | Seminar: Cristina Gualdani (QMUL): Robust identification in repeated games: An Empirical approach to algorithmic competition Centre for Probability, Statistics and Data Science We develop an econometric framework for recovering structural primitives—-such as marginal costs—-from price or quantity data generated by firms whose decisions are governed by reinforcement-learning algorithms. Guided by recent theory and... |
