Seminar in Statistics - ANGELIKA ROHDE

SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO <https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…> Venerdi 20 Gennaio 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Speaker: *Angelika Rohde* (University of Freiburg) Title: *Estimating functionals under local differential privacy* Abstract: We study the problem of estimating a functional $\theta(\mathbb{P})$ of an unknown probability distribution $\mathbb{P} \in\mathcal{P}$ in which the original iid sample $X_1,\dots, X_n$ is kept private even from the statistician via an $\alpha$-local differential privacy constraint. Let $\omega_{TV}$ denote the modulus of continuity of the functional $\theta$ over $\mathcal{P}$ with respect to total variation distance. For a large class of loss functions $l$ and a fixed privacy level $\alpha$, we prove that the privatized minimax risk is equivalent to $l(\omega_{TV}(n^{-1/2}))$ to within constants, under regularity conditions that are satisfied, in particular, if $\theta$ is linear and $\mathcal{P}$ is convex. Our results complement the theory developed by Donoho and Liu (1991 Ann. Statist. 19 633–667) with the nowadays highly relevant case of privatized data. Somewhat surprisingly, the difficulty of the estimation problem in the private case is characterized by $\omega_{TV}$, whereas, it is characterized by the Hellinger modulus of continuity if the original data $X_1,\dots, X_n$ are available. We also find that for locally private estimation of linear functionals over a convex model a simple sample mean estimator, based on independently and binary privatized observations, always achieves the minimax rate. In particular, over the larger class of so-called sequentially interactive privacy mechanisms, a non-interactive procedure attains this rate. Next, we turn to one of the most studied non-linear functionals, the quadratic functional. Here, in contrast, we show that for estimating the integrated square of a density, sequentially interactive privacy mechanisms improve substantially over the best possible non-interactive procedure in terms of minimax rate of estimation. In particular, in the non-interactive scenario we identify an elbow in the minimax rate at $s=3/4$, whereas in the sequentially interactive scenario the elbow is at $s=1/2$. This is markedly different from both, the case of direct observations, where the elbow is well-known to be at $s=1/4$, as well as from the case where Laplace noise is added to the original data, where an elbow at $s=9/4$ is obtained. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89240989650?pwd=eVZSTUVEWHM2SnhBWXpnL21VU3gvQT09> 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/>

Summer school: Deterministic and random features of fluids - EPFL, 2023.7.3-7
by Lucio Galeati 15 Jan '23

15 Jan '23

Dear colleagues, I'm glad to inform you about the following event that we are organizing at EPFL for this July; feel free to advertise it among potentially interested participants at your department. Below you can find a short description and the link to the official website. Participation is free but mandatory; there is (limited) funding for travel and accommodation, for which case the application deadline is March 15th 2023. All the best, Lucio (on behalf of the organising committee) ========= Summer school: Deterministic and random features of fluids Date: Monday, Jul 3, 2023 -- Friday, Jul 7, 2023 Place: EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland The summer school focuses on the deterministic and random phenomenologies of incompressible fluids. The format consists of two lecture series (6 hours each) by Prof. Jacob Bedrossian and Prof. Thierry Gallay and of several research talks by experts in the field. The lectures address two main themes: chaotic properties of fluid models in the presence of an external random force and stability at high Reynolds number of vortex configurations. The school is intended to introduce early stage researchers (Ph.D. and postdocs) to these subjects. Support for selected young participants will be available. Organizing Commitee: M. Colombo, M. Dolce, L. Galeati, M. Sorella Website@EPFL: https://www.epfl.ch/labs/amcv/amcv/events/summer-school-deterministic-and-r…

Seminario Paolo Dai Pra
by Enrica Pirozzi 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

AVVISO di SEMINARIO Prof. Paolo Dai Pra Università di Verona TITOLO Polarization and Coherence in Mean Field Games Driven by Private and Social Utility Abstract We study a mean field game in continuous time over a finite horizon, T, where the state of each agent is binary and where players base their strategic decisions on two, possibly competing, factors: the willingness to align with the majority (conformism) and the aspiration of sticking with the own type (stubbornness). We also consider a quadratic cost related to the rate at which a change in the state happens: changing opinion may be a costly operation. Depending on the parameters of the model, the game may have more than one Nash equilibrium, even though the corresponding N- player game does not. Moreover, it exhibits a very rich phase diagram, where polarized/unpolarized, coherent/incoherent equilibria may coexist, except for T small, where the equilibrium is always unique. We fully describe such phase diagram in closed form and provide a detailed numerical analysis of the N-player counterpart of the mean field game. Joint work with Marco Tolotti (Venezia) and Elena Sartori (Padova). Il seminario si terrà il giorno 13 Gennaio 2023 ore 11:00 nella Aula F del Dipartimento Matematica e Applicazioni, Università di Napoli FEDERICO II, Complesso di Monte Sant'Angelo, Via Cintia, Napoli.

Annuncio Seminario Sapienza // Martedì 10 Gennaio // Lorenzo Dello Schiavo
by Lorenzo Taggi 09 Jan '23

09 Jan '23

Martedì 10 Gennaio 2023, ore 14:00 Sala di Consiglio, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker: *Lorenzo Dello Schiavo (ISTA, Vienna) *Titolo:* Scaling Limits of Random Walks, Harmonic Profiles, and Stationary Non-Equilibrium States in Lipschitz Domains *Abstract:* We consider the open symmetric exclusion (SEP) and inclusion (SIP) processes on a bounded Lipschitz domain Ω, with both fast and slow boundary. For the random walks on Ω dual to SEP/SIP we establish a functional-CLT-type convergence to the Brownian motion on Ω with either Neumann (slow boundary), Dirichlet (fast boundary), or Robin (at criticality) boundary conditions. We further show the discrete-to-continuum convergence of the corresponding harmonic profiles. As a consequence, we rigorously derive the hydrodynamic and hydrostatic limits for SEP/SIP on Ω, and analyze their stationary non-equilibrium fluctuations. Based on joint work arXiv:2112.14196 with Lorenzo Portinale (IAM Bonn) and Federico Sau (ISTA)
