Seminario di Stefano Favaro, venerdì 28 gennaio ore 11:30 - 12:30
by Antonio Pievatolo 25 Jan '22

Annuncio di seminario online Stefano Favaro, Università di Torino e CNR-IMATI Learning-augmented count-min sketches via Bayesian nonparametrics ven 28 gen 2022 11:30 - 12:30 (CET) The count-min sketch (CMS) is a time and memory efficient randomized data structure that provides estimates of tokens’ frequencies in a data stream, i.e. point queries, based on randomly hashed data. Learning-augmented CMSs aim at improving the CMS by means of learning models that allow to better exploit data properties. We focus on the learning-augmented CMS of Cai, Mitzenmacher and Adams (NeurIPS, 2018), which relies on Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) modeling of a data stream via Dirichlet process (DP) priors; this is refereed to as the CMS-DP. We present a novel and rigorous approach of the CMS-DP, and we show that it allows to consider more general classes of nonparametric priors than the DP prior. We apply our approach to develop a novel learning-augmented CMS under power-law data streams, which relies on BNP modeling of the stream via Pitman-Yor process (PYP) priors; this is referred to as the CMS-PYP. Applications to synthetic data and real data show that the CMS-PYP outperforms both the CMS and CMS-DP in the estimation of low-frequency tokens; this is known to be a critical feature in natural language processing, where it is indeed common to encounter power-law data.

Seminar Dr Moises Rodriguez Madrena - Roma Tre University
by Francesco Cesarone 24 Jan '22

24 Jan '22

Dear All, we are happy to invite you to the seminar of Dr. Moises Rodriguez Madrena (Universidad de Sevilla - Facultad de Matemáticas) that will take place on Thursday, January 27, 15:00-16:00. The seminar will be held in-person room 18 (Aula 18) of the Department of Business Studies of Roma Tre University (Via Silvio D'Amico, 77 00145 - Roma, Italy), and online via Teams. For security reasons, please send an email to francesco.cesarone(a)uniroma3.it<mailto:francesco.cesarone@uniroma3.it> if you want to attend the seminar in person. We are looking forward to seeing you! Francesco Cesarone ================================================================ Date and time: January 27 (Thursday), 15:00 pm Speaker: Dr. Moises Rodriguez Madrena (Universidad de Sevilla - Facultad de Matemáticas) Title: Location Problems: New Advances and Applications Abstract: Location problems are among the most important problems in the area of Operation Research. In general, a location problem consists of determining the position of one or more facilities to satisfy the demand of a set of demand points, such that some criteria (represented by objective functions) are optimized (minimize or maximize). In this seminar, we present two new location problems that arise from two different applied scopes. (1) In the literature of transportation research field, it is frequent to address routing or distribution problems where the movement between points is given by the combination of different transportation modes. For instance, movements within or outside an urban area could be different: within the city boundary the movement is slow due to the layout of the streets and traffic, while outside this boundary in the rural area the movement is fast. This situation can be modeled as regions endowed with different norms, where distances within the regions are the ones induced by the corresponding norm. In this framework, we address the single-facility Weber location problem considering different Lp-norms at different polyhedral regions. (2) Given a set of tradable assets, the classical portfolio selection problem consists in determining the amount of capital to be invested in each asset to build the most performing portfolio. A relatively recent promising strand of research is to exploit clustering information of an asset network to develop new portfolio optimization paradigms. Following this idea, we endow the asset network with a metric based on correlation coefficients between assets’ returns and show how classical location problems on networks can be used for clustering assets. More precisely, in the bi-objective (gain-risk) portfolio selection model, we add a third criterion which is represented by the objective function of the standard p-median location problem. In this way, we are able to evaluate the effect of different degrees of clustering on the selected portfolios. We tackle the above problems using Mathematical Programming tools (MISOCP and MILP formulations for the first and the second problems, respectively). The usefulness of our approach is validated by reporting some computational experiments.
