A SPRING DAY IN PROBABILITY AND STATISTICAL PHYSICS
by Francesca Romana Nardi 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

Carissimi, stiamo cercando di organizzare in Italia, sulla falsariga del M. Kac Seminar in Olanda, una serie di incontri di probabilita` e delle sue applicazioni alla Fisica, Biologia e Scienze sociali, per stimolare lo scambio di idee e offrire ai piu` giovani l'opportunita` di venire a contatto con un ampio panorama di temi di ricerca. E` con grande gioia che vi comunico che il primo di questi eventi si terra` venerdì 26 Maggio 2017 a Firenze, in un'aula universitaria vicino alla stazione di S. Maria Novella. Sara` un'occasione per goderci una giornata scientifica insieme e per esplorare le possibilita` e le modalita` piu` opportune per ripetere questo tipo di incontri. Di seguito trovate i dettagli della giornata del 26 Maggio, che vedra` come oratori R. Fernandez (University of Utrecht, Olanda) e R. Morris (IMPA Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). A SPRING DAY IN PROBABILITY AND STATISTICAL PHYSICS University of Florence Friday 26 May 2017 Lecturers: R. Fernandez (Utrecht) and R. Morris (IMPA). Location: Aula Magna di Via S. Gallo 10, Firenze Prof. Roberto Fernandez Title: Signal description: process or Gibbs? Abstract: The distribution of signals such as spike trains is naturally modeled through stochastic processes where the probability of future states depend on the pattern of past spikes. Mathematically, this corresponds to distributions *conditioned on the past*. From a signal-theoretic point of view, however, one could wonder whether a more efficient description could be obtained through the simultaneous conditioning of past *and* future. Furthermore, such a formalism could be appropriate when discussing string without a particular "time" order, such as the distribution of DNA nucleotides, or even issues related to anticipation and prediction in neuroscience. On the mathematical level this double conditioning would correspond to a Gibbsian description analogous to the one adopted in statistical mechanics. In this talk I will introduce and contrast both approaches ---process and Gibbsian based--- reviewing existing results on scope and limitations of them. Prof. Robert Morris Title: Monotone cellular automata Abstract: Cellular automata are interacting particle systems whose update rules are local and homogeneous. Since their introduction by von Neumann almost 50 years ago, many particular such systems have been investigated, but no general theory has been developed for their study, and for many simple examples surprisingly little is known. Understanding their (typical) global behaviour is an important and challenging problem in statistical physics, probability theory and combinatorics. In this talk I will outline some recent progress in understanding the behaviour of a particular (large) family of monotone cellular automata -- those which can naturally be embedded in d-dimensional space -- with random initial conditions. For example, in the case where a site updates (from inactive to active) if at least r of its neighbours are already active, these models are known as bootstrap percolation, and have been extensively studied for various specific underlying graphs. Apart from their inherent mathematical interest, the study of these processes is motivated by their close connection to models in statistical physics, and I will discuss some applications to a family of models of the liquid-glass transition known as kinetically constrained spin models. Program: 11.00-11.45 Introductory lecture: R. Fernandez 11.45-12.00 Break 12.00-12.45 Seminar: R. Fernandez 13.00-14.30 Lunch 14.30-15.15 Introductory lecture: R. Morris 15.15-15.30 Break 15.30-16.15 Seminar: R. Morris Note pratiche: 1) E` importante prenotare il biglietto del treno il piu` presto possibile per poter usufruire di sconti!!!! 2) Stiamo prenotando un ristorante con un paio di menu fissi che possa ospitarci, ma ho bisogno del numero di persone che vogliono mangiare insieme. A coloro che fossero interessati chiedo di mandare un email a francescaromana.nardi(a)unifi.it Resta fermo il fatto che saremo in pieno centro di Firenze, quindi ci sono moltissime altre possibilita` per mangiare se preferite regolarvi indipendentemente.

Dear all, we are glad to announce that on the day before the CLADAG conference <http://www.cladag2017.unimib.it/>, which is held in Milan 13-15 September 2017, a satellite event is proposed by Data Science Lab <http://datasciencelab.unimi.it/> of the University of Milan. The event title is STATISTICAL CHALLENGES IN BIG DATA & COMPLEX SYSTEMS <http://datasciencelab.unimi.it/index.php/2017/07/05/statistical-challenges-…>, is held on the 12th of September 2017 from 14 in Aula Crociera Alta di Giurisprudenza, Via Festa del Perdono 7. After the meeting an Aperitif in the suggestive Porticato San Nazaro will be offered to the participants. The event is free, but for organizational matters, please send an email to datasciencelab(a)unimi.it. <mailto:datasciencelab@unimi.it> The purpose of this scientific event is to take advantage of the presence in Milan of the international community of statisticians attending CLADAG 2017 Conference and to stimulate cross-discussion between the various researchers at the University of Milan who work on diversified topics related to Big Data & Complex Systems. The Flash Talk are meant for a wider audience, including the Press and colleagues from other disciplines. Problems, solutions and challenges for Big Data & Complex Systems vary upon the scientific field of study. This event is an attempt to out statisticians in connection with scientists of the many different disciplines.
