Seminario PRISMA lunedì 7 aprile 2025 - S. Favaro & M. Beraha
by Sonia Mazzucchi 24 Mar '25

24 Mar '25

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium" per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Da quest'anno le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb Il prossimo appuntamento è per lunedì 7 aprile 2025. I relatori saranno Stefano Favaro (Università di Torino) e Mario Beraha (Università di Milano Bicocca) che parleranno di: *Il modello di Ewens-Pitman per partizioni aleatorie e la sua (naturale) estensione alle allocazioni aleatorie* con il seguente orario: 16:00 Primo seminario 16:30 Pausa e discussione 16:45 Secondo seminario 17:15 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://unitn.zoom.us/j/87150580430 ID riunione: 871 5058 0430 Codice d’accesso: 591823 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Sonia Mazzucchi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Stefano Favaro (Università di Torino) e Mario Beraha (Università di Milano Bicocca) TITOLO: Il modello di Ewens-Pitman per partizioni aleatorie e la sua (naturale) estensione alle allocazioni aleatorie RIASSUNTO: Nella prima parte del seminario verrà introdotto il modello di Ewens-Pitman per partizioni aleatorie, presentandone una caratterizzazione in termini di sufficienza predittiva nell’ambito della classe dei modelli di campionamento di specie. Successivamente, verrà offerta una panoramica sui principali teoremi limite relativi al numero di blocchi e blocchi con molteplicità della partizione di Ewens-Pitman, con particolare attenzione alle fluttuazioni quasi-certe, ai principi di grandi deviazioni e alle fluttuazioni Gaussiane. Infine, si illustrerà un’applicazione del modello di Ewens-Pitman alla soluzione Bayesiana del problema della stima della “missing mass”, noto come problema di Good-Turing, e della stima del “unseen”, o problema di Fisher-Efron. Nella seconda parte del seminario si parlerà di allocazioni aleatorie; un’allocazione di N oggetti è un multi-insieme di sottoinsiemi non vuoti degli N oggetti che, al contrario di una partizione, possono non essere mutuamente esclusivi o esaustivi. Partendo dal modello Indian buffet di Ghahramani e Griffiths, che costituisce il naturale analogo del modello di Ewens nel caso di allocazioni, verranno presentati alcuni risultati sull’analisi Bayesiana di allocazioni aleatorie. In particolare, verranno discusse caratterizzazioni di sufficienza predittiva per allocazioni aleatorie, che generalizzano i corrispondenti risultati sui modelli di campionamento di specie. Due illustrazioni relative al problema delle “missing features” verranno descritte. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

OWABI - Meïli Baragatti - March 27 - 11am UK time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 24 Mar '25

24 Mar '25

Dear all, the next OWABI seminar www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc> is quickly approaching, being scheduled on Thursday the 27th March at 11am UK time. Our next speaker is Meïli Baragatti<https://www.vinifera-euromaster.eu/team/meili-baragatti/> (Université de Montpellier), who will talk about "Approximate Bayesian Computation with Deep Learning and Conformal Prediction", with an abstract reported below. Abstract: Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) methods are commonly used to approximate posterior distributions in models with unknown or computationally intractable likelihoods. Classical ABC methods are based on nearest neighbor type algorithms and rely on the choice of so-called summary statistics, distances between datasets and a tolerance threshold. Recently, methods combining ABC with more complex machine learning algorithms have been proposed to mitigate the impact of these "user-choices''. In this talk, I will present you the first, to our knowledge, ABC method completely free of summary statistics, distance, and tolerance threshold. Moreover, in contrast with usual generalizations of the ABC method, it associates a confidence interval (having a proper frequentist marginal coverage) with the posterior mean estimation (or other moment-type estimates). This method, named ABCD-Conformal, uses a neural network with Monte Carlo Dropout to provide an estimation of the posterior mean (or other moment type functionals), and conformal theory to obtain associated confidence sets. I will compare its performances with other ABC methods on several examples, and show you that it is efficient for estimating multidimensional parameters, while being "amortized". Keywords: Likelihood-free inference · Approximate Bayesian computation · Convolutional neural networks · Dropout · Conformal prediction Reference: M. Baragatti, B. Cloez, D. M´etivier, I. Sanchez. Approximate bayesian computation with deep learning and conformal prediction. Preprint at ArXiv: 2406.04874, 2024.

Seminario Lorenzo dello Schiavo
by Gustavo Posta 20 Mar '25

20 Mar '25

Nell'ambito delle attività del Progetto di Eccellenza 2023-2027 del Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Castelnuovo" il professor Lorenzo dello Schiavo, Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata, terrà 2 seminari nell'aula L del Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Castelnuovo" il 2 aprile 2025 alle 16:00 e il 10 aprile 2025 alle 14:30 dal titolo Massive particle systems, Wasserstein Brownian motions, and the Dean–Kawasaki equation (Part I & II) Sunto: Let W be a conservative, ergodic Markov diffusion on some arbitrary state space M, converging exponentially fast to equilibrium. We consider: (1) Systems of up to countably many massive particles in M, with finite total mass. Each particle is subject to an independent instance of the noise W, with volatility the inverse mass carried by the particle. We prove that the corresponding infinite system of SDEs has a unique solution, for every starting configuration and every distribution of the masses in the infinite simplex. (2) Solutions to the Dean--Kawasaki SPDE with singular drift, driven by the generator L of W. We prove that the equation may be given rigorous meaning on M, and that it has a unique `distributional’ solution. This extends Konarovskyi--Lehmann--von Renesse's `ill-posedness vs. triviality' to the case of infinitely many massive particles. (3) Diffusions with values in the space P of all probability measures on M, driven by the geometry induced by L. (4) In the case when M is a manifold, differential-geometric and metric-measure Brownian motions on P induced by the geometry of optimal transportation and reversible for a normalized completely random measure. We show that all these objects coincide. The first talk will survey general aspects of the constructions, mostly focussing on (1) and (3). The second talk will focus on (2) and explain its relations with known results about the Dean–Kawasaki equation. Gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Gustavo Posta Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Roma "la Sapienza" P.le A.
