Buongiorno,
ricordiamo che oggi lunedì 7 aprile dalle 16 alle 17:15 si svolgerà il
periodico seminario on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (
http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/)
I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium" per creare un'occasione
di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e
statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due
seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità
una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Da quest'anno le
registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI:
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb
I relatori di oggi saranno Stefano Favaro (Università di Torino) e Mario
Beraha (Università di Milano Bicocca) che parleranno di:
Il modello di Ewens-Pitman per partizioni aleatorie e la sua (naturale)
estensione alle allocazioni aleatorie
con il seguente orario:
16:00 Primo seminario
16:30 Pausa e discussione
16:45 Secondo seminario
17:15 Conclusione e discussione
Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al
seguente link:
https://unitn.zoom.us/j/87150580430
ID riunione: 871 5058 0430
Codice d’accesso: 591823
Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

RELATORI: Stefano Favaro (Università di Torino) e Mario Beraha (Università
di Milano Bicocca)
TITOLO: Il modello di Ewens-Pitman per partizioni aleatorie e la sua
(naturale) estensione alle allocazioni aleatorie
RIASSUNTO: Nella prima parte del seminario verrà introdotto il modello di
Ewens-Pitman per partizioni aleatorie, presentandone una caratterizzazione
in termini di sufficienza predittiva nell’ambito della classe dei modelli
di campionamento di specie. Successivamente, verrà offerta una panoramica
sui principali teoremi limite relativi al numero di blocchi e blocchi con
molteplicità della partizione di Ewens-Pitman, con particolare attenzione
alle fluttuazioni quasi-certe, ai principi di grandi deviazioni e alle
fluttuazioni Gaussiane. Infine, si illustrerà un’applicazione del modello
di Ewens-Pitman alla soluzione Bayesiana del problema della stima della
“missing mass”, noto come problema di Good-Turing, e della stima del
“unseen”, o problema di Fisher-Efron.
Nella seconda parte del seminario si parlerà di allocazioni aleatorie;
un’allocazione di N oggetti è un multi-insieme di sottoinsiemi non vuoti
degli N oggetti che, al contrario di una partizione, possono non essere
mutuamente esclusivi o esaustivi. Partendo dal modello Indian buffet di
Ghahramani e Griffiths, che costituisce il naturale analogo del modello di
Ewens nel caso di allocazioni, verranno presentati alcuni risultati
sull’analisi Bayesiana di allocazioni aleatorie. In particolare, verranno
discusse caratterizzazioni di sufficienza predittiva per allocazioni
aleatorie, che generalizzano i corrispondenti risultati sui modelli di
campionamento di specie. Due illustrazioni relative al problema delle
“missing features” verranno descritte.

Giovedì 10 aprile alle ore 16.30, Charles Bordenave (CNRS - Marseille)
terrà il seminario
Title: Cutoff for geodesic paths on hyperbolic manifolds
Abstract: This is a joint work with Joffrey Mathien. We establish new
instances of the cutoff phenomenon for geodesic paths and for the Brownian
motion on compact hyperbolic manifolds. We prove that for any fixed compact
hyperbolic manifold, the geodesic path started on a spatially localized
initial condition exhibits cutoff. Our work also extends results obtained
by Golubev and Kamber on hyperbolic surfaces of large volume to any
dimension. More generally, we will discuss ongoing works on the cutoff
phenomenon in mixing dynamical systems.
Il seminario si svolgerà presso il Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica di
Roma Tre, Lungotevere Dante 376 - aula M1.

Dear all,
registrations are now open for the 4th BioInference conference (https://bioinference.github.io/2025/), which is taking place in Bardonecchia, a town in the Alps near Turin, Italy, on the 28th-30th May 2025.
Launched in 2022, BioInference aims to bring together researchers from across statistics and mathematical modelling who work with (broadly defined/intended) biological systems, to foster discussions and prompt collaborations between the two communities at all career stages.
If you would like to attend the conference, please sign up by the 14th April (tickets are limited and on a first come first served basis) at https://bioinference.github.io/registration<https://bioinference.github.io/registration/>
Note that the registration is considered completed and successful only after having paid the €185 registration fee (covering three lunches, all coffee breaks and one dinner) and the accommodation fee (which is highly recommended, but not mandatory). May is the low season in Bardonecchia, so most of the hotels are closed. However, we secured single and double rooms in two partner hotels, Hotel Rivè<https://www.hotelrive.it/> and Hotel Cà Fiore<https://www.cafiore.it/>, 100m apart, to favour further networking among participants, at a discounted price of
• 108€ per night (with breakfast, single occupancy)
* 160€ per night (with breakfast, double occupancy).
These rooms need to be booked at the time of the registration, paying the cost in advance, by specifying the number of nights you need the booking for. If you wish to look for alternative accommodation (possible but not recommended), you can then select the option "Registration only" on the registration page, being aware of the low availability.
Please make sure to have your Italian “Codice Fiscale” (VAT number) or your passport number at the time of registration.
The conference will consist of contributed talks and poster sessions, with more than 20 talks and 30 poster presentations. The three day schedule and the full list of poster presentations can be found at https://bioinference.github.io/2025/, while a list of confirmed talks include:

Aims and Scope:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The growing availability of genomic data represents both a vast resource and a
significant computational challenge. This enormous volume of data provides
valuable insights into the DNA structure of organisms. However, processing a

efficiently exploring, analyzing, and interpreting large genomic collections,
enhancing advancements across all fields of computational genomics. Moreover,
GPU-accelerated computing enables highly parallelized operations, significantly
improving the efficiency of deep learning models, large-scale sequence
alignments, and genomic simulations.
This special session aims to bring together researchers working at the
intersection of deep learning, High-Performance Computing (HPC), including
GPU-accelerated computing, alongside genomic data modeling and analysis. By
focusing on the integration of advanced computational techniques with genomic
research, the session fosters collaboration and innovation in developing new
methodologies for tackling the challenges posed by large-scale genomic datasets.
