Buongiorno inoltro l'annuncio del OWPS di domani. Saluti Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- Da: One World Probability <ow.probability(a)gmail.com> Date: mer 10 feb 2021 alle ore 09:25 Subject: [owps] One World Probability Seminar Thursday February 11, 2021 To: <owps(a)lists.bath.ac.uk> Tomorrow's speakers in the One World Probability Seminar are (Note: all times are in UTC. *Due to time changes, you should check what that translates to in your location*) ------------------------------------------------ (14:00-15:00 UTC) Speaker: Bálint Virág (Toronto) Title: Introduction to random plane geometry Abstract: If lengths 1 and 2 are assigned randomly to each edge in Z^2, what are the fluctuations of distances between far away points? This problem is open, yet we know, in great detail, what to expect. The directed landscape, a universal random plane geometry, provides the answer to such questions. What is the directed landscape? What does it teach us about longest increasing subsequences in random permutations, about random polymers, about models for spread of infection, about tetris, about random Schrodinger operators, and about cell biology? (15:00-16:00 UTC) Speaker: Duncan Dauvergne (Princeton) Title: Building the directed landscape Abstract: The directed landscape is a random 'directed metric' on the plane that arises as the full scaling limit of last passage percolation. It was recently constructed by myself, Janosch Ortmann and Bálint Virág, and it is expected to be a universal limit for models in the KPZ universality class (e.g. random polymers, the KPZ equation, first passage percolation). In this talk I will explain some of the new ideas that underlie this construction. The key innovation is showing that a certain isometric property of the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth bijection passes to the limit. ------------------------------------------------ The zoom link will appear the day before on the OWPS website: https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.owpro…> It can also be directly accessed through the link below: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/88066239585?pwd=djNYaHNkWUpGVkVZeWlXaHE5SkpqZz09 <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Funiroma1.…> Meeting-ID: 880 6623 9585 Passcode: 635181 Please feel free to circulate this email.

SEMINARIO DI PROBABILITA' E STATISTICA MATEMATICA Dipartimento di Matematica "Guido Castelnuovo" Università di ROMA, la SAPIENZA Link Zoom https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/81656265460?pwd=UmlZQzBDY2VmSUwrNitZbkNWMERIdz09 Lunedì 08 febbraio 2021 Ore 16:00 (modalità telematica con Zoom) Antonio AGRESTI (Dottorato in Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma) Nonlinear parabolic stochastic evolution equations in critical spaces. Abstract: Critical spaces for non-linear equations are important due to scaling invariance, and in particular this plays a central role in fluid dynamics. In this talk we introduce and discuss local/global well-posedness, and blow-up criteria for stochastic parabolic evolution equations in critical spaces. Our results extend the celebrated theory of Prüss, Wilke and Simonett for deterministic PDEs. Due to the presence of noise it is unclear that a stochastic version of the theory is possible, but as we will show a suitable variation of the theory remains valid. We will also explain several features which are new in both the deterministic and stochastic framework. In particular, we discuss a new bootstrap method to prove regularization of solutions to (S)PDEs, which can also be applied in critical situations. Our theory is applicable to a large class of semilinear and quasilinear parabolic problems which includes many of the classical SPDE. During the talk we give applications to stochastic reaction-diffusion equations and stochastic Navier-Stokes equations with gradient noise. This is a joint work with Mark Veraar (TU Delft).

08 Feb '21

Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to inform you that the following special issue is now open to receive submissions for possible publications. The paper will be published in Symmetry (a peer-reviewed open access journal ISSN 2073-8994 https://www.mdpi.com/journal/symmetry <https://www.mdpi.com/journal/symmetry> I. F. 2.645 (2019)). Below, you can find further information. Special Issue "Bioinformatics and Statistics" Website: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/symmetry/special_issues/Bioinformatics_Statist… <https://www.mdpi.com/journal/symmetry/special_issues/Bioinformatics_Statist…> Guest Editors: Dr. Claudia Angelini, Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo “M. Picone” - CNR, Dr. Italia De Feis, Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo “M. Picone” – CNR, Dr Antonella Iuliano, Telethon Institute of Genetics and Medicine Deadline for manuscript submissions: 31 July 2021 If you are interested in presenting a contribution, we kindly ask you to let us know within 15 March 2021. Potential topics for manuscripts include but are not limited to: Penalized statistical methods for omics data Statistical methods for omics data integration Machine Learning and Deep learning approaches in bioinformatics Mathematical and probabilistic models in biology Multitask learning in biological applications Network analysis and omics data Computational and statistical tools in bioinformatics High dimensional data visualization Description: In the last decades, advances in high throughput technologies have allowed scientists to collect massive omics datasets. International projects and consortia made different types of omics data publicly available. Examples span from transcriptomics to epigenomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. Moreover, scientists can also collect heterogenous multi-omic information on the same samples, allowing to elucidate the interplay role of different cellular components. However, the difficulty in defining an appropriate statistical methodology to analyze the data and integrate diverse sources of information and the limited availability of efficient algorithms and software tools hinder the possibility of investigating fundamental cellular mechanisms and understanding disease onset and progression. This gap prompted us to highlight the statistical data analysis challenges and collect novel emerging statistical methods for omics data analysis and integration in a thematic issue on Bioinformatics and Statistics. Manuscripts that report novel software tools and efficient algorithms are very welcome too. As the Guest Editors, we warmly invite you to contribute to our Special Issue. Do not hesitate to forward this message to anyone who could be interested. Thank you very much for your kind consideration, and apologies for multiple copies. We look forward to hearing from you.

Statistics and Probability Seminars @University of Nottingham: Rachel Carrington
by Fabrizio Leisen 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

Dear All, the Statistics and Probability group at the University of Nottingham organize a series of internal seminars which will be available to anyone interested, even outside the University of Nottingham. Our next speaker is Dr *Rachel Carrington*. Seminar date and time: *11th* * of February at 2pm. * Below you can find the Abstract and Title. Furthermore, you can find the Teams link to join the seminar. Best Wishes, Fabrizio Leisen You are cordially invited to the following seminar: Rachel Carrington <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Rachel_Carrington2> (Internal Seminar) ----> *11**th** of* *February at 2pm* *Title:* Semi-supervised word embeddings *Abstract:* Word embeddings are a popular way of modelling language, in which words are represented as low-dimensional vectors. The aim is that distances between vectors correspond to relationships between words: words with similar meanings should be closer together in the embedding space. Recently this has been a growing area of interest, with applications including sentiment analysis, machine translation, and artificial intelligence. However, a disadvantage is that large amounts of data are generally needed to train word embedding models. In this talk I will first give an overview of how word embeddings are generated, and then I will outline a novel method of generating semi-supervised word embeddings, based on multidimensional scaling, which has the potential to reduce the amount of data needed to generate accurate word embeddings. ________________________________________________________________________________ Microsoft Teams meeting Join on your computer or mobile app Click here to join the meeting <https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZDE4YWYxNmEtZTFlMC00…> Learn more <https://aka.ms/JoinTeamsMeeting> | Meeting options <https://teams.microsoft.com/meetingOptions/?organizerId=ac48eccb-4345-40d8-…> -- Fabrizio Leisen Professor of Statistics University of Nottingham School of Mathematical Sciences University Park, Nottingham, NG7 2RD, UK http://sites.google.com/site/fabrizioleisen/

Pisa Online Seminars - Lorenzo Dello Schiavo (Tuesday, Feb. 9 at 14:00)
by Giacomo Filippo Di Gesu 03 Feb '21

Dear colleagues, I would like to invite you to the following online seminar organized by the Probability group of the University of Pisa. The talk will be accessible under the link Click here to join the meeting<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3A17115d7f6ef44c5e91974362906c…> Best regards, Giacomo Tuesday, Feb. 9, 14:00 Speaker: Lorenzo Dello Schiavo (IST Austria) Title: The Dirichlet—Ferguson Diffusion on the space of probability measures over a closed Riemannian manifold (1811.11598) Abstract: We construct a diffusion process on the L^2-Wasserstein space P_2(M) over a closed Riemannian manifold M. The process, which may be regarded as a candidate for the Brownian motion on P_2(M), is associated with the Dirichlet form induced by the L^2-Wasserstein gradient and by the Dirichlet–Ferguson random measure with intensity the Riemannian volume measure on M. We discuss the closability of the form via an integration-by-parts formula, which allows explicit computations for the generator and a specification of the process via a measure-valued SPDE. We comment how the construction is related to previous work of von Renesse–Sturm on the Wasserstein Diffusion and of Konarovskyi–von Renesse on the Modified Massive Arratia Flow. ************************ Giacomo Di Gesù Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Pisa Largo Bruno Pontecorvo 5 56127 - Pisa, Italy giacomo.digesu(a)unipi.it<mailto:giacomo.digesu@unipi.it> https://sites.google.com/site/giacomodigesu/

Seminario on-line di G. Peccati a Milano-Bicocca (10 feb 2021)
by Francesco Caravenna 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

Ho il piacere di annunciare il seguente seminario di Giovanni Peccati (Luxembourg University): "Stopping sets and phase transitions on the Poisson space" Mercoledì 10 febbraio 2021 ore 14:30 Seguono il riassunto e il link Zoom. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Link Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81567245594?pwd=OFJwNzNMYmRxYXl6T0srU2gyamdWZz09 (ID: 815 6724 5594 Passcode: 969423) Abstract: I will discuss several refinements of the Poincaré inequality on the Poisson space, based on the use of "restricted hypercontractivity", stopping sets and continuous-time decision trees. One of the main estimates presented in my talk corresponds to an intrinsic, infinite-dimensional version of the "OSSS inequality" (O'Donnel, Saks, Schramm, Servedio, 2006), allowing one to control the fluctuations of a given functional by means of its decision tree complexity. The research discussed in my talk is strongly motivated by the analysis of sharp phase transitions in continuum percolation models. If time permits, I will also discuss an intrinsic version of the Schramm-Steif inequality on the Poisson space - which is particularly adapted to capture noise sensitivity at criticality. Based on joint works with G. Last and D. Yogeshwaran (2021), and with I. Nourdin and X. Yang (2019). %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% -- _________________________________________ Francesco Caravenna Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca Via Cozzi 55, 20125 Milano, Italy http://www.matapp.unimib.it/~fcaraven/ _________________________________________
