ILB CREST CLASS – Conference on Robustness and Privacy


The ILB CREST CLASS is a collaboration between the Institut Louis Bachelier and the CREST.
The first collection organised by Guillaume Lecué in March 2021 includes a series of videos about the Robustness and Privacy conference the National Institute for Mathematical Sciences and their Interactions (CNRS), and the Médiamétrie chair.

“An Introduction to Sequential Monte Carlo” win the DeGroot Prize


Nicolas Chopin and Omiros Papaspiliopoulos, the co-authors of the book “An Introduction to Sequential Monte Carlo”, have been awarded the 2021 DeGroot Prize.

The DeGroot Prize is awarded to the author or authors of a published book in Statistical Science. The Prize is named for Morris H. (“Morrie”) DeGroot, and recognizes the impact and importance of his work in Statistics and Decision Theory, and his marked influence on the evolution of the discipline over several decades through his personal scholarship, educational and professional leadership. The prize particularly recognizes DeGroot’s authorship and editorship of major books that had marked impact on the development of Statistics and Decision Theory, and the value he placed on the role of books generally. The Prize was proposed during the ISBA 2000 meeting in Crete, and established later that year.

“An Introduction to Sequential Monte Carlo” Springer, 2020

Abstract:
Offers a general and gentle introduction to all aspects of particle filtering: the algorithms, their uses in different areas, their computer implementation in Python and the supporting theory. Covers both the basics and more advanced, cutting-edge developments, such as PMCMC (particle Markov chain Monte Carlo) and SQMC (Sequential quasi-Monte Carlo).
Comes with a freely available Python library (particles), which implements all the algorithms discussed in the book.
Each chapter ends with a “Python corner” that discusses how the methods covered can be implemented in Python.

International Conference on cyber insurance: September 12th, 2022


Caroline Hillairet and Olivier Lopez will present their research project “CyberRisk: actuarial modeling” at the “International Conference on cyber insurance” at Sorbonne Université

The closing conference of the Joint Research Initiative “Cyber risk: actuarial modeling” will gather professional and academic experts on cyber-risk and cyber-insurance. It will be the occasion to confront different viewpoints and to present new developments in the field of cyber risk evaluation.

Date: 12th September 2022. 9h – 18h.

Place: Auditorium, Campus Pierre et Marie Curie, 4 place Jussieu, 75005 Paris.

Research Project:
The research initiative “Cyber risk: actuarial modeling” has been supported by Fondation du Risque (Institut Louis Bachelier since 2017, AXA ResearchFund and AXA Risk Management Group since 2018). The aim of this project is to gather expertise to provide statistical methodologies that allow to better understand the economic impact of cyber risk, and contribute to the development of the cyber insurance sector. The research topics cover actuarial pricing models adapted to cyber, stochastic scenarios generation, systemic risk (oraccumulation risk). With this closing conference, the project enters a new phase, making the link between cyber and other emerging risks for which insurability is at stake (climate risk, pandemic, supply chain interruption…).

La fin du game? Les jeux vidéo au quotidien


Ouvrage paru en Avril 2021 aux Presses Universitaires François-Rabelais.

Coécrit par : Samuel Coavoux enseignant-chercheur en sociologie au CREST, David Gerber, Hovig Ter Minassian, Isabel Colón de Carvajal, Manuel Boutet, Mathieu Triclot, Samuel Rufat, Vincent Berry, Vinciane Zabban.

Résumé:

À la maison ou dans les transports, au bureau ou aux toilettes, les jeux vidéo sont partout. La banalisation de ce loisir électronique dans toutes les tranches d’âge et toutes les catégories de la société s’est accompagnée d’une diversification des publics mais aussi des manières de jouer.
Loin de l’image caricaturale du mâle adolescent jouant des heures durant à des jeux de tir, désormais les jeux vidéo sont pour beaucoup une activité ordinaire qui trouve place dans les interstices, les temps libres des routines journalières ou hebdomadaires. Ils sont imbriqués dans les modes de vie et contribuent aux modes d’habiter.
Fruit d’un travail de recherche collectif, ce livre analyse la place de ces pratiques vidéoludiques au quotidien. Comment joue-t-on aux jeux vidéo aujourd’hui ? Qui joue, où, et avec qui ? Quelles sont les diverses pratiques, de sociabilité, d’échanges mais aussi de mobilités et de marquage de l’espace, qui se développent autour de ce loisir électronique ? Quelles sont les émotions, les expériences, les affects, que les jeux vidéo rendent possible ?
Cette exploration inédite du domaine des jeux vidéo étudie la diversité de leurs publics, les pratiques que ces derniers développent, et les expériences qui s’y éprouvent.

Discipline:
Jeux vidéo, Loisirs, Pratiques culturelles, Sociologie
