Lunedì 18 Marzo 2024: Seminario di Gianmarco Bet alla Sapienza
by Faggionato, Alessandra 12 Mar '24

12 Mar '24

Buongiorno, Gianmarco Bet (Università di Firenze) terrà un seminario alla Sapienza Lunedì 18 Marzo alle 16:00. Sotto trovate i dettagli. Saluti Alessandra *Time*: Monday 18 March, 16:00 *Room*: Sala di Consiglio, Department of Mathematics "Guido Castelnuovo", Sapienza University of Rome *Title:* Detecting a late changepoint in the preferential attachment model *Abstract*: Motivated by the problem of detecting a change in the evolution of a network, we consider the preferential attachment random graph model with a time-dependent attachment function. Our goal is to detect whether the attachment mechanism changed over time, based on a single snapshot of the network at time $n$ and without directly observable information about the dynamics. We cast this question as a hypothesis testing problem, where the null hypothesis is a preferential attachment model with a constant affine attachment parameter \delta_0, and the alternative hypothesis is a preferential attachment model where the affine attachment parameter changes from $\delta_0$ to $\delta_1$ at an unknown changepoint time $\tau_n$. For our analysis we assume that the changepoint occurs close to the observation time of the network, which corresponds to the relevant scenario where we aim to detect the changepoint shortly after it has happened. We present two tests based on the number of vertices with minimal degree. The first test assumes knowledge of $\delta_0$, while the second does not. We show that these are asymptotically powerful when $n-\tau_n \gg n^{1/2}$. Furthermore, we prove that the test statistics for both tests are asymptotically normal, allowing for accurate calibration of the tests. If time allows, we will present numerical experiments to illustrate the finite sample test properties. -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato https://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/people/faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 123, first floor *************************************************

Deadline Extended! - IEEE MetroLivEnv 2024 - Special Session PROBABILITY AND MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS FOR LIVING ENVIRONMENT AND METROLOGY
by Antonella Iuliano 11 Mar '24

11 Mar '24

Dear Colleagues, we would like to draw your attention to the upcoming 2024 IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON METROLOGY FOR LIVING ENVIRONMENT that will be held at Chania, Crete, GREECE, June 12-14, 2024. The following Special Session is open to receive your submissions. PROBABILITY AND MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS FOR LIVING ENVIRONMENT AND METROLOGY Probability Theory and Statistics provide powerful tools for the development of new mathematical models to describe real life phenomena. In particular, the use of metrology refers to living environment plays an important role in many applicative fields to understand and identify sources of variability and to minimise their influence. The aim of this section is to cover the lack of probabilistic and machine learning approaches in this area. In fact, one of the most significant advantages using probabilistic models is to gain a comprehensive view of the uncertainty associated with a measurement result. A special attention will be give to results related to the quality of the living environment as a direct impact on human health and well-being. Website: https://www.metrolivenv.org/special-session-2 The deadline for Extended Abstract Submissions is March 22, 2024. https://www.metrolivenv.org/call-for-papers For further information and updates please visit the conference website: https://www.metrolivenv.org/index.php/ We are looking forward to Welcome you in Chania! 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. Best Regards, The Session Organizers

by Lorenzo Tamellini 11 Mar '24

11 Mar '24

(apologies for cross-posting) Dear colleagues, I forward you the message below about the upcoming FrontUQ workshop. Best regards, Lorenzo Tamellini =================================== Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce a new edition of the FrontUQ-Workshop that will be held in Braunschweig from September 24-27, 2024 with the topic "Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) for Aerospace Engineering". FrontUQ is a workshop of the GAMM-UQ activity group and the 2024 edition will be jointly organized by groups of TU Braunschweig, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the German Aerospace Center. Our goal is to allow for an informal and fruitful exchange between the uncertainty quantification and aerospace communities. The first day puts special emphasis on UQ software, with multiple UQ software projects presenting themselves in hands-on tutorials. The following days will host various keynote as well as technical presentations and provide the chance to (re)connect with new and old colleagues. Abstract submission, software tutorial submission and registration will open soon. Further information can be found at the workshop-webpage, where also future information will be communicated: https://www.frontuq-2024.com/ We are hoping to welcome you to FrontUQ-2024 in Braunschweig!

Politecnico di Milano - MOX Colloquia - Simon Wood
by Laura Maria Sangalli 11 Mar '24

11 Mar '24

Si avvisa che in data 14-03-2024, alle ore 14:30 precise presso il Politecnico di Milano, in aula Consiglio (settimo piano Dipartimento di Matematica - edificio 14), si svolgerà il seguente seminario della serie MOX Colloquia Simon Wood, School of Mathematics, University of Edinburgh Titolo: On Neighbourhood Cross Validation Abstract: Cross validation is a well known method for estimating hyperparameters in complex regression models. It comes in many varieties, but some of the more interesting flavours require multiple model fits with consequently high cost. This talk shows how the high cost can be side-stepped for a wide range of models estimated using a quadratically penalized smooth loss, with rather low approximation error. Once the computational cost has the same leading order as a single model fit, it becomes feasible to efficiently optimize the chosen cross-validation criterion with respect to multiple smoothing/precision parameters. Interesting applications include cross-validating smooth additive quantile regression models, and the use of leave-out-neighbourhood cross validation for dealing with nuisance short range autocorrelation. The link between cross validation and the jackknife can be exploited to obtain reasonably well calibrated uncertainty quantification in these case. Il link per seguire il seminario online sarà reso disponibile pochi minuti prima dell’avvio del seminario al seguente link https://mox.polimi.it/mox-colloquia-seminars-list/mox-seminars/?id_evento=2… Tutti gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare, Laura Sangalli —— Laura Maria Sangalli MOX - Dipartimento di Matematica Politecnico di Milano Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32 20133 Milano - Italy (+39) 02 2399 4554 laura.sangalli(a)polimi.it<mailto:laura.sangalli@polimi.it> https://sangalli.faculty.polimi.it

Seminar: Andrea Capozzo March 19, 2024, Ca' Foscari University of Venice
by Carlo Gaetan 09 Mar '24

09 Mar '24

Dear all, we are glad to announce the following hybrid seminar *March 19, 2024, 12:15 PM* *Where*: Aula Delta 2C- edificio Zeta (Campus Scientifico), Via Torino, 155 Mestre (Venice, Italy) Zoom: https://unive.zoom.us/j/85153268624?pwd=MzBhdlA2M1B2dThJQ2Y5T0EwUE5PZz09 *Speaker*: Andrea Cappozzo, Università degli Studi di Milano (Milano, Italy) *Title*: Penalized mixed-effects multitask learning: a framework for regularizing multilevel models with applications on DNA methylation biomarkers creation *Abstract:* Linear mixed modeling is a well-established technique widely employed when observations possess a grouping structure. Nevertheless, this standard methodology is no longer applicable when the learning framework encompasses a multivariate response and high-dimensional predictors. To overcome these issues, a penalized estimation scheme based on an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is proposed, in which any penalty criteria previously devised for fixed-effects models can be conveniently incorporated into the fitting process. We employ the novel methodology for creating surrogate biomarkers of cardiovascular risk factors, such as lipids and blood pressure, from whole-genome DNA methylation data in a multi-center study. The proposed approach shows promising results in both predictive accuracy and bio-molecular interpretation compared to state-of-the-art alternatives. Based on joint work with Francesca Ieva and Giovanni Fiorito. Visit this page https://www.unive.it/pag/41970/ for updates on our seminars.
