[Isadora Antoniano]

We are glad to announce the following seminar:


*Tuesday, January 10th*

Bocconi University,
Room 3-E4-SR03
Via Rontgen 1 - 3rd floor

Time: *2:30 pm*




*Nicholas Polson*(The University of Chicago Booth School of Business)

*Deep Learning Predictors for Traffic Flows*

*Abstract:*
We develop deep learning predictors for modeling traffic flows. The
challenge to modeling traffic flows arises from sharp nonlinearities due to
transitions from free flow to breakdown and to congestion. Our methodology
constructs a deep learning architecture to capture nonlinear
spatio-temporal flow effects. We show how traffic flow data from road
sensors can be predicted using deep learning. We illustrated our
methodology on traffic data from Chicago's Interstate I-55 and we forecast
traffic flows during two special events, a Chicago Bears football game and
a snowstorm. Both examples lead to a sharp traffic flow regime which can
occur very suddenly and we show how deep learning tackles short term
traffic forecasting in an efficient manner. Finally, we discuss directions
for future research.
Joint work with Vadim Sokolov.

*ATTENTION:*

If you are a guest and you do not have a Bocconi ID Card to access to the
Bocconi Buildings, please confirm your participation by sending an email to
elisa.picassi a unibocconi.it <simona.gagino a unibocconi.it>
In addition, we suggest to print, fill out and send the attached form (to
