seminario Emilio Porcu a Roma Tor Vergata
by Anna Vidotto 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

Dear all, I would like to announce the following talk that will be held on Thursday *November* *7th* 2019, at *5 PM*, in *Aula D’Antoni* of the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome Tor Vergata. *Speaker:* Emilio Porcu (Trinity College Dublin) *Title:* Modeling Temporally Evolving and Spatially Globally Dependent Data *Abstract:* The last decades have seen an unprecedented increase in the availability of data sets that are inherently global and temporally evolving, from remotely sensed networks to climate model ensembles. This paper provides an overview of statistical modeling techniques for space–time processes, where space is the sphere representing our planet. In particular, we make a distinction between (a) second order‐based approaches and (b) practical approaches to modeling temporally evolving global processes. The former approaches are based on the specification of a class of space–time covariance functions, with space being the two‐dimensional sphere. The latter are based on explicit description of the dynamics of the space–time process, that is, by specifying its evolution as a function of its past history with added spatially dependent noise. We focus primarily on approach (a), for which the literature has been sparse. We provide new models of space–time covariance functions for random fields defined on spheres cross time. Practical approaches (b) are also discussed, with special emphasis on models built directly on the sphere, without projecting spherical coordinates onto the plane. We present a case study focused on the analysis of air pollution from the 2015 wildfires in Equatorial Asia, an event that was classified as the year's worst environmental disaster. The paper finishes with a list of the main theoretical and applied research problems in the area, where we expect the statistical community to engage over the next decade. Kind regards, Anna Vidotto --------- Anna Vidotto PostDoc Researcher Dipartimento di Matematica Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata https://sites.google.com/view/annavidotto

Thank you, Michael Chertkov, Andrey Lokhov, Arvind Mohan ------------------- The Center for Nonlinear Studies and The Information Science & Technology Institute at Los Alamos National Laboratory are pleased to announce an upcoming conference: [image: 3ea459d06f4f4153b23454d39692e8df.jpg] *3d Physics Informed Machine Learning* *January 13-17, 2020* *Inn and Spa at Loretto, Santa Fe, New Mexico* *Workshop website: **cnls.lanl.gov/piml2020* <http://cnls.lanl.gov/piml2020> Previous editions of the workshop are available at cnls.lanl.gov/piml2018 and cnls.lanl.gov/piml2016. *Topics:* - Theory and Methods *(Monday and Tuesday morning)* Deep learning, graphical models, optimization, tensor and message-passing methods, statistical learning - Algorithms and Applications *(Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday)* Physics, computer science, biology, dynamical systems, novel computational paradigms (quantum, memristors), etc. - Special Topic: Spatio-Temporal Flows *(Thursday and Friday morning)* Dynamical systems, fluid mechanics and turbulence *Important Dates:* - Financial support requests: *November 15, 2019* - Abstract submissions: *November 15, 2019* - Travel grant awards decisions: *December 6, 2019* - Workshop dates: *January 13-17, 2020* *Travel Grants for Students and Postdocs:* A limited number of travel grants are available for selected graduate students and postdocs to help offset the cost of attending the conference. Those interested should submit an application, including poster abstract and CV, before the deadline of *November 15, 2019*. We will make funding decisions by *December 6, 2020*. Please submit your application to: *piml2020(a)lanl.gov* <piml2020(a)lanl.gov>. *Posters:* Participants are encouraged to submit a poster, which will be displayed throughout workshop. We will also schedule a slot for poster discussions, tentatively scheduled for Monday, the first day of the workshop. Depending on the schedule, some posters will be selected for longer contributed presentations throughout the week. If you are applying for a travel grant, then you are required to submit your poster abstract by Friday, November 15, 2019. *Summary:* This workshop continues discussions and explorations started in January 2016 and January 2018 at the first and second editions of the workshop. A revolution in statistics and machine learning (ML) is underway. Modern algorithms can now learn high level abstractions via hierarchical models, leading to break-through accuracy in benchmarks for computer vision, language, etc. Underlying these advances is a strong and deep connection to various aspects of applied mathematics and statistical physics. For example, proper choice of statistical force allows to screen interaction and learn graphical models governing multi-dimensional distributions efficiently, gauge transformations from physics guide incorporation of symmetries in the neural network design, dynamical system interpretation helps to understand and improve performance of most efficient deep learning schemes, etc. This workshop seeks perspectives on leveraging the deep connection between ML and physics, but now with the goal to better understand and model physical systems, static and dynamic. We invite experts both in machine learning techniques as well as domain science applications. In this third edition of PIML we will focus on applications of interest to our LANL and DOE sponsors, specifically on improving scale-reduced, large eddy modeling and simulations of turbulence that arise in various mechanical-engineering, aerospace and climate applications; building reduced models for infrastructures (energy systems, cyber-physical systems, etc.); guiding development of inverse/design approaches in quantum physics, e.g. related to tensor networks; designing new computational paradigms (such as related to quantum and neuromorphic computing). The workshop discussions are aimed towards approaches and methods for physical modeling applications where a big-data, black-box approach to ML is only a starting point. We seek participants who may suggest innovative approaches that extend application agnostic ML techniques by incorporating complex constraints imposed by physical principles (e.g. conservation laws, causality, symmetries, entropy principles and related). The workshop format assumes 7 talks a day, late afternoon discussions and poster session. We encourage application of young researchers for fellowships (see website for details). We plan for active participation of LANL researchers and program managers across directorates and divisions interested in the physics informed learning. This emerging area of research has many aspects of computational co-design, and draws on LANL's strengths in statistical physics, modern applied mathematics, theoretical and applied computer science, infrastructure modeling and simulations, fluids and materials modeling, and high performance computing. Looking forward, we view physics informed learning as a viable path for LANL and DOE toward truly predictive multi-scale modeling, optimization, inference and leading for plethora of relevant applications in sciences and engineering. *Organizing Committee:* Michael Chertkov (University of Arizona) Andrey Lokhov (Los Alamos National Laboratory) Arvind Mohan (Los Alamos National Laboratory) [image: bed3f21384084acb905f2c173a3fa658.jpg]
