Seminario di Sam Power - Pavia, 3 giugno 2025 ore 15
by Carlo Orrieri 28 May '25

28 May '25

Martedì 3 giugno alle ore 15 presso il Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Aziendali (aula E, piano terra) dell'Università di Pavia, Sam Power (University of Bristol) terrà un seminario: titolo: Gradient Flow Methods for Statistical Computation - Trends and Trajectories abstract: When conducting statistical estimation and inference, it is relatively commonplace that the dominant computational burden takes the form of an optimisation task. This has long been recognised for tasks of parameter estimation, though there is an increasing recognition that other tasks of interest can be fruitfully interpreted as optimisation tasks over a space of probability measures, or even over some 'hybrid' space involving both parameters and measures. In this talk, I will survey some trends in this area, focusing on how this high-level perspective finds use in both analysis of popular existing algorithms and synthesis of novel algorithms. I will also highlight opportunities for future contributions in this fast-growing area. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Un caro saluto Carlo Orrieri

Seminario di Giorgio Cipolloni alla Sapienza
by Faggionato, Alessandra 28 May '25

28 May '25

Buongiorno Martedi' 3 Giugno alle ore 14:00 in Sala di Consiglio Giorgio Cipolloni (University of Arizona) terra' il seguente seminario Title: Logarithmically correlated fields from non-Hermitian random matrices Abstract: We study the Brownian evolution of large non-Hermitian matrices and show that their log-determinant converges to a 2+1 dimensional Gaussian field in the Edwards-Wilkinson regularity class, i.e. logarithmically correlated for the parabolic distance. This gives a dynamical extension of the celebrated result by Rider and Virag (2006) proving that the fluctuations of the eigenvalues of Gaussian non-Hermitian matrices converge to a 2 dimensional log-correlated field. Our result, previously not known even in the Gaussian case, holds out of equilibrium for general matrices with i.i.d. entries. We also study the extremal values of these fields and demonstrate their logarithmic dependence on the matrix dimension.

Seminario Padova - Vanessa Jacquier
by Alberto Chiarini 27 May '25

27 May '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (30 Maggio) alle ore 14:30 in aula 2AB30 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Vanessa Jacquier (Università di Padova) Title: Discrete Nonlocal Isoperimetric Inequality and Analysis of the Long-Range Bi-Axial Ising Model Date: May 30, 2025, at 14:30, 2BC30 Abstract: We consider a generalization of the classical perimeter, referred to as the nonlocal bi-axial discrete perimeter, in which not only the external boundary of a polyomino contributes to the perimeter, but all its internal and external components. In particular, this nonlocal bi-axial perimeter is a fractional function that depends on the shape of the given geometrical figure and on a parameter λ>1, which accounts for the long-range effect. We tackle the nonlocal discrete isoperimetric problem analyzing and characterizing the minimizers within the class of polyominoes with a fixed area. The solution of this isoperimetric problem provides a rigorous foundation for studying the metastable behavior of the long-range bi-axial Ising model. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

Seminario di Amichai Painsky presso l'università Bicocca, Mercoledì 4 giugno
by Mario Beraha 27 May '25

27 May '25

Buongiorno a tutti, Vi segnalo il seguente seminario in presenza presso l’università di Milano-Bicocca. 4 giugno 2025, ore 12:00, Aula Seminario 2104, Edificio U7, Via Bicocca degli Arcimboldi, 8, Milano. Speaker: Amichai Painsky, Tel Aviv University Title: Large Alphabet Inference Abstract: Consider a finite sample from an unknown distribution over a large alphabet. Making inference in a large alphabet regime is a fundamental problem in statistics and related fields, which entails several basic challenges. For example, how accurately can we infer the parameters of events that do not appear in the sample? What can we say about the most frequent events in the sample? The entire underlying distribution? In this talk we introduce a novel inference scheme that tackles these challenging problems. Our proposed framework applies selective inference, as we construct confidence intervals (CIs) for the desired set of parameters. Interestingly, we show that obtained CIs are dimension-free, as they do not grow with the alphabet size. Further, we show that our CIs are (almost) tight, in the sense that they cannot be further improved without violating the prescribed coverage rate.
