26 Nov '24

Dear Colleagues, This is the second announcement for the winter school *Statistical Mechanics, Nonequilibrium Processes, and Probability*, which will take place on *February 17-28, 2025*, at the Mathematics Department of Sapienza University, Rome. We are pleased to inform you that the *registration deadline for the school has been extended to December 20, 2024*, and to share the link to the school’s website: https://sites.google.com/view/winterschoolsapienza/home To register, please complete the form available on the website (here <https://sites.google.com/view/winterschoolsapienza/registration?authuser=0> the link). Participation is *free*, but registration is mandatory. The school will also include *short talk sessions* for PhD students and early postdocs. *Lecturers of the February school:* *Week 1 (Feb 17–21):* - Kazuo Aoki (National Cheng Kung University & Kyoto University) - Eric Carlen (Rutgers University) - Alessia Nota (University of L'Aquila) - Benjamin Schlein (University of Zurich) *Week 2 (Feb 24–28):* - Paul Dario (University of Paris-Est Créteil) - Sabine Jansen (Ludwig Maximilian University) - Eva Löcherbach (University of Paris 1) - Fabio Toninelli (Technical University of Vienna) The school will inaugurate the scientific *Eccellenza* program at Sapienza, titled *Statistical Mechanics and Nonequilibrium Processes*, which will conclude in July 2025.

More information about the program will be found on the following website: program <https://sites.google.com/uniroma1.it/excellence-department-mmsp/mmsp-th-per…> . Both the winter school and the *Eccellenza* program will focus on several topics, including: - kinetic theory and probability, - random growth models, - percolation, - probabilistic models for neural networks, - quantum-mechanical transport, - non-dissipative transport in topological materials, and - large-scale limits. The common thread is the rigorous mathematical investigation of equilibrium and nonequilibrium phenomena and statistical physics models. Our goal is to present current research directions at an accessible level for students and young researchers, fostering collaborative research in these areas. For additional information, do not hesitate to contact us. Best regards, The local coordinators Giada Basile Alessandra Faggionato Vittoria Silvestri Sergio Simonella Lorenzo Taggi

Carlo Ciliberto at Tor Vergata 03.12
by Michele Salvi 26 Nov '24

26 Nov '24

Dear all, On Tuesday, December 3rd, at 14h00 in Aula Dal Passo of Tor Vergata Math Department, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php) will host Carlo Ciliberto (University College London) with the seminar “Operator World Models for Reinforcement Learning” Abstract: Policy Mirror Descent (PMD) is a powerful and theoretically sound methodology for sequential decision making. However, it is not directly applicable to Reinforcement Learning (RL) due to the inaccessibility of explicit action-value functions. We address this challenge by introducing a novel approach based on learning a world model of the environment using conditional mean embeddings. Leveraging tools from operator theory we derive a closed-form expression of the action-value function in terms of the world model via simple matrix operations. Combining these estimators with PMD leads to POWR, a new RL algorithm for which we prove convergence rates to the global optimum. Preliminary experiments in finite and infinite state settings support the effectiveness of our method. We encourage in-person partecipation.
