14-15 nov: Giovanni Peccati mini-course at Roma Tor Vergata
by Anna Vidotto 05 Nov '19

05 Nov '19

*Mini-course* held by *Giovanni Peccati* (6 hours) Title: *The Malliavin-Stein method* Abstract: *I will provide a self-contained introduction to a collection of probabilistic techniques developed in the last decade, focussing on quantitative limit theorems for non-linear functionals of Gaussian fields, obtained by combining two techniques: (i) the Malliavin calculus of variations, and (ii) Stein's method for probabilistic approximations. I will develop in full detail at least one geometric application related to the structure of level sets of Gaussian fields, and I will try to point out a number of further directions of research, connected e.g. to concentration estimates, entropic bounds, discrete geometric structures and the analysis of Boolean functions.* *A systematically updated list of papers related to Malliavin-Stein techniques can be found here * https://sites.google.com/site/malliavinstein/home *The main reference of the matter is the monograph by I. Nourdin and myself: *https://tinyurl.com/y3h2n8e2 Place: Aula Dal Passo, Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Roma Tor Vergata Via della Ricerca Scientifica 1, 00133 Roma Schedule: - Thursday November 14th, from 2 PM to 5 PM - Friday November 15th, from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM --------- Anna Vidotto PostDoc Researcher Dipartimento di Matematica Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata https://sites.google.com/view/annavidotto

Politecnico di Milano - Seminario Borgonovo
by Laura Maria Sangalli 31 Oct '19

31 Oct '19

Si avvisa che in data 06-12-2019, alle ore 14:30 precise, presso l'Aula Seminari "F. Saleri" VI piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, nell'ambito delle iniziative MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Relatore: Emanuele Borgonovo, Bocconi University Titolo: Explainability, intepretability and sensitivity analysis Sommario: A growing research activity is developing for increasing interpretability of machine findings. When complex architectures are used, analysts are, in fact, exposed to the black-box effect. This seminar will review several methods used both in the machine learning and in the simulation community to make the black box more transparent. We shall discuss tools such as partial dependence functions, layerwise relevance propagation, as well as present several local and global sensitivity analysis methods, also proposing new tools and new findings on popular tools. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordiali saluti, Laura Sangalli -- Laura Maria Sangalli MOX - Dipartimento di Matematica Politecnico di Milano Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32 20133 Milano - Italy tel: +39 02 2399 4554 fax: +39 02 2399 4568 email: laura.sangalli(a)polimi.it<mailto:laura.sangalli@polimi.it> url: http://mox.polimi.it/~sangalli

After the three past editions (Genth, Belgium in 2014, Toulouse, France in 2016, Jerusalem, Israel in 2018), the next one comes back in Madrid, where the parent MCQT conferences were first organized by Jesús Artalejo during the years 2002-2010. ECQT conferences aim to be a meeting place where scientists and technicians in the field can find a discussion forum to promote research,encourage interaction and exchange ideas. The conference is open to all trends in queueing theory, including the development of the theory, methodology advances, computational aspects and applications. The spirit of the conference is to be a queueing event organized from within Europe, but attendees and submissions need not be restricted to Europe. *CALL FOR ABSTRACTS* We invite you to submit an abstract to ECQT'20 conference. Instructions for preparing the abstracts will be available soon on the conference website . Each abstract accepted for presentation will require a separate registration. The deadline for submission of an abstract is April 15, 2020. *SPECIAL ISSUES* Participants at the conference will be given the opportunity to submit a paper to special volumes of the journals *Queueing Systems: Theory and Applications* (QUESTA) and *Performance Evaluation*. The paper should be based on unpublished work presented at the conference. All submitted papers will be refereed according to the high standards of the journals. The deadline for submission to the special issues is *September 30, 2020*. More information on the special issues will be given in future announcements. *TAKACS THESIS AWARD* The Steering committee of the European Conference on Queueing Theory (ECQT) is pleased to announce the setting up of the third edition of the Takács award. The Takács Award is a bi-annual award presented to doctoral dissertations in recognition of outstanding contributions to queueing theory, including the development of theory, methodological advances, computational aspects and applications.

seminario Emilio Porcu a Roma Tor Vergata
by Anna Vidotto 30 Oct '19

30 Oct '19

Dear all, I would like to announce the following talk that will be held on Thursday *November* *7th* 2019, at *5 PM*, in *Aula D’Antoni* of the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome Tor Vergata. *Speaker:* Emilio Porcu (Trinity College Dublin) *Title:* Modeling Temporally Evolving and Spatially Globally Dependent Data *Abstract:* The last decades have seen an unprecedented increase in the availability of data sets that are inherently global and temporally evolving, from remotely sensed networks to climate model ensembles. This paper provides an overview of statistical modeling techniques for space–time processes, where space is the sphere representing our planet. In particular, we make a distinction between (a) second order‐based approaches and (b) practical approaches to modeling temporally evolving global processes. The former approaches are based on the specification of a class of space–time covariance functions, with space being the two‐dimensional sphere. The latter are based on explicit description of the dynamics of the space–time process, that is, by specifying its evolution as a function of its past history with added spatially dependent noise. We focus primarily on approach (a), for which the literature has been sparse. We provide new models of space–time covariance functions for random fields defined on spheres cross time. Practical approaches (b) are also discussed, with special emphasis on models built directly on the sphere, without projecting spherical coordinates onto the plane. We present a case study focused on the analysis of air pollution from the 2015 wildfires in Equatorial Asia, an event that was classified as the year's worst environmental disaster. The paper finishes with a list of the main theoretical and applied research problems in the area, where we expect the statistical community to engage over the next decade. Kind regards, Anna Vidotto --------- Anna Vidotto PostDoc Researcher Dipartimento di Matematica Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata https://sites.google.com/view/annavidotto
