Seminar in Statistics - SVEN WANG
by Pierpaolo De Blasi 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 17 Novembre 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: Sven Wang (Humboldt University Berlin, Germany) Title: *Statistical convergence rates for transport- and ODE-based generative models* Abstract: Measure transport provides a powerful toolbox for estimation and generative modelling of complicated probability distributions. The common principle is to learn a transport map which couples a tractable (e.g. uniform or normal) reference distribution to some complicated target distribution, e.g. by maximizing a likelihood objective. In this talk, we discuss recent advances in statistical convergence guarantees for such methods. While a general theory is developed, we will primarily treat (1) triangular maps which are the building blocks for ’autoregressive normalizing flows’ and (2) ODE-based maps, defined through an ODE flow. The latter encompasses NeuralODEs, a popular method for generative modeling. Our results imply that transport methods achieve minimax-optimal convergence rates for non-parametric density estimation over Hölder classes on the unit cube. Based on the papers arXiv:2207.10231 and arXiv:2309.01043, joint with Youssef Marzouk (MIT, United States), Robert Ren (MIT, United States) and Jakob Zech (U Heidelberg, Germany). ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84606225203?pwd=aFhFa2RKaWtVd2V6R2Rpc05hRGNodz09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

[owps] One world probability seminar on Thursday 16 November
by Ilya Chevyrev 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

Dear all. The next session of the One World Probability Seminar will be next week on Thursday (November 16) from 14:00 to 16:00 UTC time. The speakers of this session are Elisabetta Candellero (Universita Roma Tre) and Thomas Finn (Durham University). Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be also found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. Kind regards, Ilya Chevyrev and Julio Backhoff. Title: Coexistence in competing first-passage percolation Abstract: Consider the following random competition model on a given graph G that is driven by two first-passage percolation processes FPP_1 and FPP_\lambda. Initially, FPP_1 occupies a single site and FPP_\lambda is dormant in seeds that are placed on the sites of G as a product of Bernoulli measures of parameter p. Then, FPP_1 spreads through the edges of G at rate 1 and FPP_\lambda spreads from seeds at rate \lambda when that seed is attempted to be occupied by either FPP_1 or FPP_\lambda. Once a site is occupied by either process it remains occupied by that process henceforth. This model is known as first-passage percolation in a hostile environment (FPPHE) and was first introduced by Sidoravicius and Stauffer ’19. In the first talk, we establish that FPPHE is non-monotone in the sense that increasing p or \lambda may increase the probability that FPP_1 occupies infinitely many sites through constructing a quasi-transitive graph where such behaviour holds. The non-monotonicity of FPPHE makes understanding the phase transitions of the model extremely challenging. We prove that a regime of coexistence exists on hyperbolic and non-amenable vertex transitive graphs where both FPP_1 and FPP_\lambda concurrently occupy infinite connected components with positive probability. In the second talk, we prove that a regime of coexistence also holds on Z^d for d>2 through the introduction of a refined multi-scale analysis that can handle non-equilibrium and non-monotone processes. We relate this proof to recent work on multi-particle diffusion limited aggregation by Sidoravicius and Stauffer ’19 and the SIR model by Dauvergne and Sly ’22 where FPPHE is a crucial analytical tool in understanding non-equilibrium particle systems. Based on joint work with Alexandre Stauffer. Speaker 1 (14:00-15:00 UTC): Elisabetta Candellero (Universita Roma Tre). Speaker 2 (15:00-16:00 UTC): Thomas Finn (Durham University).

Carissimi colleghi, scusandomi per eventuali invii multipli, vi inoltro il seguente annuncio di seminario. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Cordialmente, Enea Bongiorno -------------------------------- 22 novembre ore 16.00 - aula 206, campus Perrone, via Perrone, 18, Novara. Università del Piemonte Orientale. - on-line: https://meet.google.com/ign-wqer-sjs *Finite-sample exact prediction bands for functional data* *Prof. Simone Vantini, Politecnico di Milano* *Abstract:* The talk will deal with the key challenge of creating prediction bands for a new observation in the functional data framework given a training set of observed functional data and possibly in presence of covariates, either scalar, categorical, or functional. Starting from the investigation of the literature concerning this topic, we propose an innovative approach building on top of Conformal Prediction and Functional Data Analysis able to overcome the main drawbacks associated to the existing approaches. Under minimal distributional assumptions (i.e., exchangeability of the random functions), we will show how the new proposed nonparametric method (i) is able to provide prediction regions which could visualized in the form of bands, (ii) is guaranteed with exact coverage probability also for finite sample sizes, and finally (iii) is computational efficient. Different specifications of the method will be compared in terms of efficiency in some simulated and real case scenarios also in the case of multi-dimensional domain and/or codomain. ----------------------------------- Locandina dell'evento <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1VJXOiNVwkDI8w2wE0hMqcjFgVzEa7vi4?us…> Seminari Matematici Statistici <https://sites.google.com/uniupo.it/seminari-ms/home-page> ----------------------------------- -- Enea Bongiorno,PhD Associate Professor of Statistics Università degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale Via Perrone 18, 28100, Novara, Italia Phone: +390321375317 enea.bongiorno(a)uniupo.it upobook.uniupo.it/enea.bongiorno
