Philip Maini: Squirrels, Turing and Excitability - Mathematical Modelling in Biology, Ecology and Medicine

Philip Maini
(University of Oxford)
Further Information

Mathematical modelling lives a varied life. It links the grey squirrel invasion in the UK to the analysis of how tumour cells invade the body; Alan Turing's model for pattern formation gives insight into animal coat markings and Premier League Football Shirts; and models for Excitability have been used to model the life cycle of the cellular slime mold and heart attacks.

Philip Maini will reveal all in our latest Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture.

Philip Maini is Professor of Mathematical Biology in the University of Oxford.

Machine Learning with Hawkes Processes

Saad Labyad
(Oxford University)
Abstract

Hawkes processes are a class of point processes used to model self-excitation and cross-excitation between different types of events. They are characterized by the auto-regressive structure of their conditional intensity, and there exists several extensions to the original linear Hawkes model. In this talk, we start by defining Hawkes processes and give a brief overview of some of their basic properties. We then review some approaches to parametric and non-parametric estimation of Hawkes processes and discuss some applications to problems with large data sets in high frequency finance and social networks.
