Postdoc - Hokkaido University
by Paolo Dai Pra 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Vi inoltro l'annuncio di una borsa postdoc alla Hokkaido University. Paolo Dai Pra %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I announce a Postdoc position in my group project under the CREST project ``Technology for Computing Revolution for Society 5.0": http://www.jst.go.jp/kisoken/crest/en/research_area/ongoing/areah30-4.html Team Hokkaido is trying to build a new computing system based on the Ising model. The team consists of four groups, one of which is my Mathematical Science Group. There are 11 other members, 4 of which are faculty members, 7 others are graduate students. We are investigating the following problems rigorously: 1. Find a best possible embedding of an Ising model on a irregular graph to an Ising model on a given regular graph. 2. Find the ground state of the above Ising model on the regular graph by a sampler faster than, say, Glauber dynamics. 3. Find how stable the ground state is against noise in coupling coefficients and/or external magnetic fields. 4. Find killer applications of the Ising computer. The posdoc position is a 2-year position, starting from April 2019 the earliest, with possible 2-year extension (depending on performance). The net salary will be ranging from 3,769,524 JPY to 5,689,524 JPY (depending on previous experiences). The deadline of application (send via email a CV and a list of publications to: sakai(a)math.sci.hokudai.ac.jp) is set on December 15, 2018.

Seminario a Bologna del prof. Macci
by Massimo Campanino 29 Oct '18

29 Oct '18

Il giorno mercoledì 7 novembre alle ore 17 nell'aula al VII piano del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Bologna in piazza Porta S. Donato 5 il prof. Claudio Macci del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Roma Tor Vergata terrà un seminario dal titolo Asymptotic behavior of some hitting probabilities for sums of IID Gaussian random sets Abstract: We consider sequences of partial sums of iid Gaussian random sets (with respect to the Minkowski sum) and we study t he asymptotic behavior of some hitting probabilities (of suitable sets of $R^d$) for these partial sums. We also illustrate the use of the importance sampling for the estimation of these hitting probabilities by Monte Carlo simulations. We obtain the analog of well-known results for level crossing probabilities of random walks, and we refer to a version of the classical Cramér's Theorem in large deviations for random compact sets existing in the literature. Joint work with Barbara Pacchiarotti

Seminario tra Geometria e Probabilita' di Daniele Agostini a Roma Tre il 29-10-2018

Daniele Agostini (Max-Plank Institute fur Mathematik, Leipzig) Titolo: Discrete Gaussians, theta functions and abelian varieties Lunedi' 29 Ottobre 2018 ORE 14:30 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1 - Pal.C - Aula 009 Abstract The Gaussian distribution is a central object in mathematics and it can be characterised as the unique probability on the real numbers that maximises entropy, for fixed mean and variance. It turns out that the same property can be used to define a discrete Gaussian distribution on the integers. Moreover, the discrete Gaussian is parametrised naturally by the Riemann theta function, and, as such, it has a natural connection to the theory of abelian varieties in algebraic geometry. The aim of the talk is to present this connection and to show how question in probability give rise to natural problems in algebraic geometry and viceversa. This is joint work with Carlos Amendola (TU Munich).

Il giorno giovedì 15 novembre alle ore 16 nell'aula Seminario 2 del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università di Bologna (pazza Porta S. Donato 2) il dott. Gianluca Bosi dell'Università di Bologna terrà un seminario dal titolo Revolving random walks in 2D: analysis of type and winding number. We consider simple random walks on two directed versions of the $\mathbb{Z}^2$ lattice; one characteristic feature of these random walks is that they are bound to revolve, according to the orientation prescribed by the edges. The first model was studied by Campanino and Petritis(‘03) and shown to be transient; the other one appeared recently in a paper by Menshikov et al. (’17), where the authors conjectured its recurrence. We shall indeed confirm this conjecture: our proof is done by considering a continuous analogue of the random walk and then applying the Lyapunov function criteria. On the other hand, we obtain a local limit theorem for the return probabilities of the first random walk, which in particular gives a new proof of transience. Finally, we deduce some results related to the winding number for both random walks. This results are joint work with Y.Peres (Microsoft Research, Redmond) and Y.Hu (University of Washington).

Seminario BELITSER

22 Oct '18

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Venerdì 26 Ottobre 2018, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Eduard BELITSER (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) ROBUST INFERENCE FOR GENERAL PROJECTION STRUCTURES BY EMPIRICAL BAYES AND PENALIZATION METHODS We develop a general framework of projection structures and study the problem of inference on the unknown parameter within this framework by using empirical Bayes and penalization methods. The main inference problem is the uncertainty quantification, but on the way we solve the estimation and posterior contraction problems as well (also a weak version of structure recovery problem). The approach is local in that the quality of the inference procedures is measured by the local quantity, the oracle rate, which is the best trade-off between the approximation error by a projection structure and the complexity of that approximating projection structure. The approach is also robust in that the stochastic part of the general framework is assumed to satisfy only certain mild condition, the errors may be non-iid with unknown distribution. We introduce the excessive bias restriction (EBR) under which we establish the local (oracle) confidence optimality of the constructed confidence ball. As the proposed general framework unifies a very broad class of high-dimensional models interesting and important on their own right, the obtained general results deliver a whole avenue of results (many new ones and some known in the literature) for particular models and structures as consequences, including white noise model and density estimation with smoothness structure, linear regression and dictionary learning with sparsity structures, biclustering and stochastic block models with clustering structure, covariance matrix estimation with banding and sparsity structures, and many others. Many adaptive minimax results over various scales follow from our local results. (Joint work with N. Nurushev.) ------------------------------------------------ Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto. Cordiali saluti, Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it
