Seminario di Davide Gabrielli alla Sapienza
by Faggionato, Alessandra 17 May '23

17 May '23

Buongiorno, Martedì 23 Maggio alle ore 14:00 in Sala di Consiglio (Dipartimento di Matematica, Università La Sapienza) avrà luogo il seguente seminario: Speaker: Davide Gabrielli (Università dell'Aquila) Title: HIDDEN TEMPERATURE IN THE KIPNIS-MARCHIORO-PRESUTTI MODEL Abstract: Stationary non equilibrium states (SNS) have a rich and complex structure. The large deviations rate functionals for the empirical measure of a few one dimensional SNS of stochastic interacting systems have been computed, among which the boundary driven exclusion process and Kipnis-Marchioro-Presutti (KMP) model. The corresponding rate functionals are not local due to the presence of long range correlations. We show for the KMP model that this can be explained by introducing new variables that can be interpreted naturally as the temperatures of the oscillators that are exchanging the energies. When two oscillators exchange energy they thermalize at the same time. We deduce that the invariant measure of the boundary driven KMP model is a mixture of inhomogeneous products of exponential distributions, the law of the mixture is the invariant measure of the auxiliary temperature process. This is a joint work with Anna De Masi and Pablo Ferrari. We show moreover that a similar representation of the invariant measure holds also for the boundary driven harmonic model; in this case the hidden variables are distributed according to the order statistics of uniform random variables. This is a joint work with G. Carinci, C. Franceschini, C. Giardinà and D. Tsagkarogiannis.

Padova seminars in Probability and Finance- Alice Callegaro (TU Munich and Johannes-Gutenberg Universität Mainz)

16 May '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following seminar that will take place on May 26 at 14.30 at the Math Department of Padova. The seminar will be held in person and online via the Zoom platform. The organizers, Alessandra Bianchi, Giorgia Callegaro, Marco Formentin _____________________________________________________ Seminars in Probability and Finance *Speaker:* Alice Callegaro (TU Munich and Johannes-Gutenberg Universität Mainz) *Title:* Survival and complete convergence for a branching annihilating random walk *Date and time*: Friday, May 26, 2023 at 14.30 *Place*: room 2BC30 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padova *Zoom link:* https://unipd.zoom.us/j/88429828028 (Meeting ID 884 2982 8028 ) available also on the webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ *Abstract:* We study a branching annihilating random walk (BARW) in which particles move on the discrete lattice in discrete generations. Each particle produces a poissonian number of offspring which independently move to a uniformly chosen site within a fixed distance from their parent's position. Whenever a site is occupied by at least two particles, all the particles at that site are annihilated. This can be thought of as a very strong form of local competition and implies that the system is not monotone. For certain ranges of the parameters of the model we show that the system dies out almost surely or, on the other hand, survives with positive probability. In an even more restricted parameter range we strengthen the survival results to complete convergence with a non-trivial invariant measure. A central tool in the proof is comparison with oriented percolation on a coarse-grained level, using carefully tuned density profiles which expand in time and are reminiscent of discrete travelling wave solutions. Based on a joint work with Matthias Birkner (JGU Mainz), Jiří Černý (University of Basel), Nina Gantert (TU Munich) and Pascal Oswald (University of Basel/JGU Mainz). -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi(a)math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/

5th International Workshop on eXplainable Knowledge Discovery in Data Mining -- Call for Papers
by REGOLI DANIELE 16 May '23

16 May '23

XKDD 2023 - Call for Papers ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5th ECML-PKDD International Workshop on eXplainable Knowledge Discovery in Data Mining ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Torino, 18th September 2023 http://xkdd2023.isti.cnr.it/ (co-located with the ECML-PKDD 2023 conference https://2023.ecmlpkdd.org/) CONTEXT & OBJECTIVES In the past decade, machine learning based decision systems have been widely used in a wide range of application domains, like credit score, insurance risk, and health monitoring, in which accuracy is of the utmost importance. Although the support of these systems has an immense potential to improve the decision in different fields, their use may present ethical and legal risks, such as codifying biases, jeopardizing transparency and privacy, and reducing accountability. Unfortunately, these risks arise in different applications. They are made even more serious and subtly by the opacity of recent decision support systems, which are often complex and their internal logic is usually inaccessible to humans. Nowadays, most Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are based on Machine Learning algorithms. The relevance and need for ethics in AI are supported and highlighted by various initiatives arising from the researches to provide recommendations and guidelines in the direction of making AI-based decision systems explainable and compliant with legal and ethical issues. These include the EU's GDPR regulation which introduces, to some extent, a right for all individuals to obtain ``meaningful explanations of the logic involved'' when automated decision making takes place, the ``ACM Statement on Algorithmic Transparency and Accountability'', the Informatics Europe's ``European Recommendations on Machine-Learned Automated Decision Making'' and ``The ethics guidelines for trustworthy AI'' provided by the EU High-Level Expert Group on AI. The challenge to design and develop trustworthy AI-based decision systems is still open and requires a joint effort across technical, legal, sociological and ethical domains. The purpose of XKDD, eXaplaining Knowledge Discovery in Data Mining, is to encourage principled research that will lead to the advancement of explainable, transparent, ethical and fair data mining and machine learning. Also, this year the workshop will seek submissions addressing uncovered important issues in specific fields related to eXplainable AI (XAI), such as XAI for a more Social and Responsible AI, XAI as a tool to align AI with human values, XAI for Outlier and Anomaly Detection, quantitative and qualitative evaluation of XAI approaches, and XAI case studies. The workshop will seek top-quality submissions related to ethical, fair, explainable and transparent data mining and machine learning approaches. Papers should present research results in any of the topics of interest for the workshop, as well as tools and promising preliminary ideas. XKDD asks for contributions from researchers, academia and industries, working on topics addressing these challenges primarily from a technical point of view but also from a legal, ethical or sociological perspective. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: TOPICS - XAI for Social AI - XAI for Responsible AI - XAI to Align AI with Human Values - XAI for Outlier and Anomaly Detection - Quantitative and Qualitative Evaluation of XAI approaches - Transparent-by Design Models - XAI Case studies - XAI for Privacy-Preserving Systems - XAI for Federated Learning - XAI for Time Series based Approaches - XAI for Graph based Approaches - XAI for Visualization - XAI in Human-Machine Interaction - XAI in Human-in-the-Loop Interactions - Counterfactual Explanations - Human-Model Interfaces for XAI approaches - Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) - Interpretable Machine Learning - Transparent Data Mining - XAI for Fairness Checking - Explanation, Accountability and Liability from an Ethical and Legal Perspective Also, the XKDD 2023 edition is co-organized with DynXAI - Explainable Artificial Intelligence: From Static to Dynamic.
