Announcement PhD course@MaLGa - Theoretical Foundations of Machine Learning
by Ernesto De Vito 11 Feb '25

11 Feb '25

We apologize for multiple postings and kindly request students and researchers who might be interested to participate. We are pleased to announce the PhD course "Theoretical Foundations of Machine Learning" ( https://tinyurl.com/2s3jtfnp). The course is organized by MaLGa - Machine Learning Genoa Center, as part of the ELLIS Genoa unit activities, and is taught by Ernesto De Vito, Lorenzo Rosasco, and Silvia Villa. The objective of the course is to introduce the mathematical framework and key foundational results in Machine Learning Theory. In particular, the course will present the statistical learning theory framework with empirical risk minimization and regularization as guiding principles for algorithm design. Linear and nonlinear models will be discussed, including neural networks and kernel methods (reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces). The course will cover optimization aspects, discussing and analyzing stochastic gradient methods and backpropagation. Additionally, it will cover the error analysis of different algorithms, considering both statistical and approximation theory aspects. Further advanced topics will be covered in a half-day workshop by Nicolò Cesa-Bianchi (UniMi) and Andrea Agazzi (UniBe). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Format: The course will consist of 28 hours, held from June 23 to June 27, 2025, at the DIBRIS/DIMA@UNIGE building, Via Dodecaneso 35, 16146 Genoa, Italy. Lessons will be in-person only. Participants will receive a certificate of attendance upon completing the course. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Applications: Submit your application here: https://forms.gle/FPMz4bcwzfExhud69 Application deadline: March 16, 2025. The maximum number of participants is 120. Selection will be based on CV evaluation. We encourage early applications as spaces are limited.

Seminario Jacopo Borga, Martedì 11 Febbraio, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Silvestri, Vittoria 11 Feb '25

11 Feb '25

Segnalo il seguente seminario, che si terrà Martedì prossimo in Sapienza. *Martedì 11 Febbraio, ore 14:00,* Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker:* Jacopo Borga (MIT) *Title: *Lattice Yang-Mills theory in the large N limit via sums over surfaces *Abstract:* Lattice Yang-Mills theories are important models in particle physics. They are defined on the d-dimensional lattice Z^d using a group of matrices of dimension N, and Wilson loop expectations are the fundamental observables of these theories. Recently, Cao, Park, and Sheffield showed that Wilson loop expectations can be expressed as sums over certain embedded bipartite maps of any genus. Building on this novel approach, we prove in the so-called strongly coupled regime: - A rigorous formula in terms of embedded bipartite planar maps of Wilson loop expectations in the large N limit, in any dimension d. - An exact computation of Wilson loop expectations in the large N limit, in dimension d=2, for a large family of (simple and non-simple) loops. Previous results to the two aforementioned points were previously established by Chatterjee (2019) and Basu & Ganguly (2016), respectively. Our results extend these previous results, offer simpler proofs and provide a new perspective on these significant quantities. This work is a collaboration with Sky Cao and Jasper Shogren-Knaak. ******************************** Vittoria Silvestri Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome ********************************

SPASS Seminar: Olga Ariasova
by Francesco Grotto 10 Feb '25

10 Feb '25

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Homogenization of a multivariate diffusion with semipermeable reflecting interfaces* by Olga Ariasova (Inst. Geophys. Nat. Acad. Sciences of Ukraine, F. Schiller Univ. of Jena) The seminar will take place tomorrow TUE, 11.2.2025 at 14:00 CET in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass *---------------------------------------------------------* *Abstract: * The mathematical problem of homogenization typically involves studying the effective parameters of a system that exhibits rapid variations in its spatial characteristics. However, we focus on a stochastic multivariate homogenization problem of a different kind: the diffusion in the presence of narrowly located semipermeable interfaces. In simple words, our model reminds of a foiled composite material consisting of a media interlaced with very thin plates of different permeability. In material science such models are referred to as reinforced materials like a glass wool reinforced by aluminium foil. Usually, one is interested in the effective parameters of such a system. By combining the study of stochastic differential equations with local times and homogenization, we explore how the presence of interfaces can alter the diffusion behavior of the limit process. As a byproduct of our research, we obtain theorems for the existence and uniqueness of solutions to SDEs for multidimensional diffusion processes with membranes. Uniqueness is a problem of particular interest because it implies the strong Markov property of the solution, which is essential for the proof of convergence.
