Colloquium Unser at Tor Vergata, October 16
by Michele Salvi 09 Oct '26

09 Oct '26

Dear all, On Friday, October 16, at 14h30 in Aula Dal Passo in the Math Department of the University of Rome Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php) will host Michaël Unser (EPFL) with the colloquium “Variational splines and stochastic processes: From kernel methods (and Norbert Wiener) to ReLU networks” Abstract: The Wiener (MMSE) estimator of a Brownian motion (a.k.a. Wiener process) from noisy samples is a linear spline. Similarly, a variational reconstruction problem with second-order total variation regularization yields an adaptive linear spline solution. Deep ReLU networks can also be interpreted as spline functions, albeit in higher-dimensional spaces. In this talk, I will show how these seemingly disparate results are unified through a common variational framework. I will further relate this perspective to stochastic modeling: kernel methods naturally correspond to Gaussian processes, while neural network approaches can be interpreted in terms of sparse stochastic processes. We encourage in-person partecipation.

Seminar Bordiga at Tor Vergata, October 12
by Michele Salvi 07 Oct '26

07 Oct '26

Dear all, On Monday, October 12, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo in the Math Department of the University of Rome Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php) will host Eleonora Bordiga (IMT Lucca) with the seminar “Spectra of random non-uniform hypergraphs” Abstract: Hypergraphs provide a natural mathematical framework for modeling systems with higher-order interactions. Motivated by the heterogeneity of many real-world networks, we study a non-uniform inhomogeneous Erdős-Rényi hypergraph model, in which hyperedges of different sizes are included with possibly different probabilities. In a suitable non-sparse regime, we characterize the limiting spectral distribution of an associated adjacency matrix and identify the relative contributions of the different hyperedge sizes. Joint work with Luca Avena and Elia Bisi (University of Florence). We encourage in-person partecipation.

Forthcoming CIRCE meeting and winter school @Padova 25-27 Jan 2027
by Ilaria Prosdocimi 07 Oct '26

07 Oct '26

Dear all, We are pleased to announce that the next CIRCE (Community of Italian Researchers Connecting on Extreme Value Statistics) workshop meeting will be held at the Department of Statistical Sciences of the University of Padua (via C. Battisti, 241, 35121 Padua, room SC60) on 27 January 2027 - more details will be communicated on this list and will be available closer to the data here. Scholars interested in Extreme Value Analysis are welcome to join the workshop. Moreover, we are pleased to announce that the first edition of the thematic winter school “The Foundations of Extreme Value Analysis and Beyond" will take place at the same venue on 25–26 January 2027. The school aims to: - provide a solid introduction to Extreme Value Theory; - highlight the distinctive features of extreme value analysis compared with traditional statistical methods; - provide an overview of fundamental problems and solution strategies proposed in the literature, ranging from well-established methodologies to the most recent developments; - introduce approaches for studying complex forms of extremal dependence and spatial data. See website for a broad school program. The school is intended for PhD students in statistics, mathematics, data science, and related fields; Master’s students interested in pursuing a research career; and young postdoctoral researchers. The school is free of charge and limited financial support is available, covering accommodation costs for a few selected participants. Applicants wishing to be considered for this support should indicate this in the application form: deadline for applying (for the school and for the financial support) is 30th October 2026. The programme offers the possibility of obtaining academic credits (subject to attendance at both the school and the workshop, and submission of a final assignment) and consists of two short courses, details will be provided shortly on the website. Registration for the Short Course includes participation in the CIRCE meeting at no additional costs, so no separate registration for the meeting is required. Further details will be posted on the website. Best wishes, The CIRCE school management team
