Seminario PRISMA lunedì 7 aprile 2025 - S. Favaro & M. Beraha
by Sonia Mazzucchi 07 Apr '25

07 Apr '25

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! Alberto Chiarini e Sonia Mazzucchi %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 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. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Seminario di Charles Bordenave a Roma Tre il 10 aprile alle 16:30
by Pietro Caputo 04 Apr '25

04 Apr '25

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. -- Pietro Caputo Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica via della vasca navale 84, 00146 Roma, Italy. www.mat.uniroma3.it/users/caputo
