Pisa-Leipzig statistical learning seminar: Ernesto De Vito
by Andrea Agazzi 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following statistical learning seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, AI institute Uni Leipzig, and MPI for Mathematics in the Sciences (abstract below): * Understanding Neural Networks with Reproducing Kernel Banach Spaces* by *Ernesto De Vito* (Università di Genova) The seminar will take place on *MON, 16.10.2023* at *15:00 CET *in Aula Riunioni, Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Pisa and streamed online here <https://uni-leipzig.zoom.us/j/68738656421?pwd=Zll6MkdBVXAvYmZaUmV1QnJ5RWxXd…> (see seminar website for further info). The organizers, A. Agazzi, N. Cyrille, A. Kreiss, S. Mukherjee, and K. Papagiannouli. https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/sslapdys -------------------------------------------- * Title: Understanding Neural Networks with Reproducing Kernel Banach Spaces* Abstract: *Characterizing the function spaces corresponding to neural networks can provide a way to understand their properties. The talk is devoted to show how the theory of reproducing kernel Banach spaces can be used to characterize the function spaces corresponding to neural networks. In particular, I will show a representer theorem for a class of reproducing kernel Banach spaces, which includes one hidden layer neural networks of possibly infinite width. Furthermore, I will prove that, for a suitable class of ReLU activation functions, the norm in the corresponding reproducing kernel Banach space can be characterized in terms of the inverse Radon transform of a bounded real measure. * *The talk is based on joint work with F. Bartolucci, L. Rosasco and S. Vigogna.*

Seminario Padova - Quattropani
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che questo venerdì (13 ottobre) alle ore 14:30 in aula 2BC30 del Dipartimento di Matematica dell’Università di Padova (Torre Archimede) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Matteo Quattropani (Università la Sapienza di Roma) Title: Mixing of the Averaging process on graphs Date: October 13, 2023 at 14:30, room 2BC30, Torre Archimede, Padova; in presenza Abstract: The Averaging process (a.k.a. repeated averages) is a mass redistribution model over the vertex set of a graph. Given a graph G, the process starts with a non-negative mass associated to each vertex. The edges of G are equipped with Poissonian clocks: when an edge rings, the masses at the two extremes of the edge are equally redistributed on these two vertices. Clearly, as time grows to infinity, the state of the system will converge (in some sense) to a flat configuration in which all the vertices have the same mass. This very simple process has been introduced to the probabilistic community by Aldous and Lanoue in 2012. However, up to few years ago, there was no graph for which sharp quantitative results on the time needed to reach equilibrium were available. Indeed, the analysis of this process requires different tools compared to the classical Markov chain framework, and even in the case of seemingly straightforward geometries—such as the complete graph or the 1-d torus—it can be handled only by means of non trivial probabilistic and functional analytic techniques. During the talk, I’ll try to give a broad overview of the problem and of its difficulties, and I'll present the few examples that have been completely settled. Based on joint work with P. Caputo (Roma Tre) and F. Sau (Università di Trieste) Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Alberto Chiarini e Alekos Cecchin

PhD position in Probability Theory at TU Delft
by Elena Pulvirenti 09 Oct '23

09 Oct '23

Dear all, could you help me share this position? If you know of any suitable candidate, I would be grateful if you could bring the position to their attention! With many thanks and best regards, Elena ************ The Institute of Applied Mathematics at *TU Delft* invites applications for a *PhD position in Probability Theory* We are looking for a highly motivated candidate to work under the supervision of Dr. E. Pulvirenti, Assistant professor in the *Applied Probability* group of Delft Institute of Applied Mathematics (DIAM). The PhD position is in the area of probability theory and statistical mechanics. The PhD project is a NWO funded "open competition project" which deals with the study of metastability for dilute spin systems. These are classical models of statistical mechanics with bond disorder, i.e. where deterministic pair interactions are replaced by random variables. The main objective is to develop a robust mathematical approach to study the metastable behaviour of these models. Metastability is a universal phenomenon, where a system spends a long time in a state of "pseudo equilibrium" until it crosses over to a stable state. This project aims at identifying the quantities characterising the stochastic nature of this phenomenon, such as the average and the distribution of the random transition time. The candidate should: - Hold a master's degree in mathematics or theoretical physics; - Have a profound knowledge of probability and mathematical physics\statistical mechanics; - Have eagerness to explore complex mathematical challenges; - Have English proficiency both written and spoken; - Be able to work both independently and collaboratively. Are you interested in this vacancy? Please apply before *19 November 2023* via the application button and upload your the following material: - A motivation letter (max. 2 pages) addressed to Elena Pulvirenti. The motivation letter should summarize: (i) why you would like to do a PhD, (ii) why you are interested in the project/topic, (iii) why your profile is suitable for the job, and (iv) what you hope to gain from the position; - A detailed CV (with contact information of 2-3 references); - A transcript of BSc and MSc grades; - The candidates bachelor's and master's theses (if available online, a link is sufficient). If available, a summary of the theses can be added; - Optional: (draft) versions of papers that you have submitted/published. You will be contacted by Elena Pulvirenti for an interview if you are among the leading candidates, in which case more specific information will be provided. For scientific inquiries regarding this vacancy, please contact Elena Pulvirenti, via email: E.Pulvirenti(a)tudelft.nl. In order to simplify communication, please add the prefix [PhDPulvirenti2023] to the email's subject.

(PMS)^2 talks: G. Zheng and G. Amir
by Maurizia Rossi 09 Oct '23

09 Oct '23

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following *hybrid* - that is, in person with online streaming - *talks*: Speaker: *Guangqu Zheng* (University of Liverpool) Title: CLT and almost sure CLT for hyperbolical Anderson model with Lévy noise. (Abstract below.) Speaker: *Gidi Amir* (Bar Ilan University) Title: Speed, entropy and other quantities of random walks on groups. (Abstract below.) Date and time: *Tuesday October 10, 10:30-12:30 (Rome time zone) * Place: Dept. of Mathematics and Applications, *Università di Milano-Bicocca*, *room 3014* (*U5/RATIO* building). *Webex meeting link*: https://unimib.webex.com/unimib-it/j.php?MTID=md61ac6bd0a0c3288815a386b472b… *ID meeting*: 2741 951 7655 *Password*: mwCpfq3tr54 - *Abstract (Zheng)*. In this talk, we will first briefly mention the recent research on CLT results of random field solutions to stochastic heat equations and stochastic wave equations with various Gaussian noises. Then, we will talk about the spatial ergodicity (first order result) and CLT (second order fluctuation) for a stochastic linear wave equation driven by Lévy noise, which is based on a joint work with R. Balan (Ottawa) [arXiv:2302.14178]. Finally, we will talk about the associated almost sure central limit theorem, based on a joint work with R. Balan (Ottawa) and P. Xia (Auburn). *Abstract (Amir)*. Given a (finitely supported, symmetric) random walk X_n on a countable groups G, one may consider several quantities associated to the random walk, such as the expected distance E|X_n|, its Shannon entropy H(X_n), its return probabilities P(X_n=id) and more. For example, on polynomial growth groups (e.g. Z^d) it is well known the walk is always diffusive, has logarithmic entropy and polynomial decaying return probabilities, while on the free group the speed and entropy of a random walk increase linearly with n and the return probabilities decay exponentially. A natural problem is to understand what are the possible range of behaviours of such quantities for random walks on groups and how they relate to other group properties. In this lecture I will survey some old and new results on the subject, including some more recent works on speed and entropy of random walks on intermediate growth groups and on possible behaviours of the Law of Iterated Logarithm. The talk is based on joint works with B. Virag, G. Blachar, C. Saroussi and T. Zheng, though we will also touch upon works by A. Erschler, and by J. Brieussel and T. Zheng. All notions will be defined in the talk, and in particular no knowledge of groups is required for the talk. - These talks are part of the *(PMS)^2: Pavia-Milano Seminar series on Probability and Mathematical Statistics* organized jointly by the universities Milano-Bicocca, Pavia, Milano-Politecnico. Participation is free and welcome! Best regards, The organizers (Carlo Orrieri, Maurizia Rossi, Margherita Zanella) -- Maurizia Rossi Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca https://mauriziarossi.wordpress.com
