This workshop is the first of a series of three dedicated to advances in stochastic analysis in the context of applications to economics and mathematical finance. It will focus on the notions of information and uncertainty with two core areas: reinforcement learning and robustness. This workshop will  bring together experts from mathematical finance and specialists of these fields.

Cet atelier est le premier d’une nouvelle série de trois consacrés aux progrès de l’analyse stochastique dans le contexte des applications à l’économie et à la finance mathématique. Il se concentrera sur les notions d’information et d’incertitude avec deux domaines principaux : l’apprentissage par renforcement et la robustesse. Cet atelier réunira des experts de la finance mathématique et des spécialistes de ces domaines.
