Doppio Seminario PELUCHETTI & KOWAL
by Pierpaolo De Blasi 13 Dec '19

13 Dec '19

Mercoledi 18 Dicembre 2019, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terranno i seguenti due seminari: ———————————————————————— ore 11.00 Stefano PELUCHETTI (Cogent Labs Tokyo) DEEP NEURAL NETWORKS AND STOCHASTIC PROCESSES We review deep neural networks and their training, and then focus on the connection between neural networks and stochastic processes. Deep neural networks at initialization correspond to prior models in function space, and under appropriate assumptions they converge to Gaussian processes in the limit of infinite width. While this connection holds "a priori", it is possible to derive similar results for "a posteriori" training via gradient descent. In this talk we discuss these and related results, and we introduce a recent line of research which generalizes established results to non-Gaussian initializations and stochastic processes arising in the limit of infinite depth. ———————————————————————— ore 12.00 Daniel KOWAL (Rice University) SCALABLE BAYESIAN INFERENCE AND SUMMARIZATION FOR FUNCYIONAL DATA Modern scientific monitoring systems, such as wearable and implantable devices, commonly record data over a continuous domain at high resolutions. These functional data are high-dimensional, strongly correlated, and usually measured concurrently with other variables of interest. Bayesians models for functional data are particularly appealing: they accommodate multiple dependence structures, handle missing or irregularly-spaced data, and provide regularization via shrinkage priors. However, these models are often complex, computationally intensive, and difficult to interpret. This talk will focus on two fundamental challenges for Bayesian functional data analysis: (1) constructing sufficiently flexible and scalable functional regression models and (2) extracting interpretable posterior summaries. The proposed modeling framework is nonparametric and uses an unknown functional basis to learn prominent functional features, which are associated with scalar predictors within a regression model. A customized projection-based Gibbs sampler provides posterior inference with linear time complexity in the number of predictors, which is empirically faster than existing frequentist and Bayesian alternatives. Using the posterior distribution, a decision theoretic approach for Bayesian variable selection is developed, which identifies a subset of covariates that retains nearly the predictive accuracy of the full model. The methodology is applied to actigraphy data to investigate the association between intraday physical activity and responses to a sleep questionnaire. ———————————————————————— Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative (www.carloalberto.org/stats <http://www.carloalberto.org/stats>) in collaborazione con il Collegio Carlo Alberto. Cordiali saluti, Pierpaolo De Blasi --- University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/ <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

The São Paulo school is divided into two parts and will happen in the weeks of July 28 to August 8, 2020 at Campinas University. In the first week there will be two introductory mini courses (stochastic calculus and rough paths) that lay the foundations for the courses of the second week. In the latter ones newly developed theories and their latest developments in the field of singular SPDEs and related areas will be taught. The program will be complemented with several plenary talks, invited talks, a poster session and a visit to the LNLS laboratories, where the only particle accelerator of Latin America is located. The school will give full financial support for around 100 students (50 from Brazil and 50 from abroad).

Energy Finance Italia: deadline approaching + YITP grants for young researchers
by Tiziano Vargiolu 12 Dec '19

12 Dec '19

Dear All, we wish to remind that the deadline for paper submissions for the fifth edition of the Energy Finance Italia Workshop - EFI5, which will be held in Rome, University of Roma Tre, next February 10-11, 2020 http://host.uniroma3.it/eventi/efi5/ is rapidly approaching (Sunday, December 15). We also want to advertise that, for the 3rd consecutive year, we are applying for the Young Investigator Training Program of the ACRI (Associazione Casse di Risparmio Italiane). If funded (as in the previous 2 editions), we will grant several 1-month positions to young researchers, coming from outside Italy, to spend in one Italian research institution of the network. In order to be eligible, the young researcher should submit a presentation to the workshop, and choose at least three research institutions to spend their grant at. All those interested in such positions are kindly asked to submit an extended abstract to the workshop (see http://host.uniroma3.it/eventi/efi5/) and to contact me (vargiolu(a)math.unipd.it), in order to have more precise details on the official procedure.

Seminari di H.A.Mimun e G. Panizo a Roma, Univ. La Sapienza
by Faggionato, Alessandra 11 Dec '19

11 Dec '19

Buongiorno sotto trovate l'annuncio per due seminari che si terranno al Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Università La Sapienza a Roma la prossima settimana. grazie saluti alessandra ****************************************************************************************** *When*: Monday 16 December, 16:00 *Where*: Room B, Department of Mathematics, Sapienza University, Rome. *Speaker*: H.A. Mimun (Department of Mathematics, Sapienza University, Rome) *Title:* Percolation in the Miller-Abrahams random resistor network *Abstract: *The Miller-Abrahams random resistor network is used to study electron transport in amorphous solids. This resistor network is given by the complete random graph built on a marked homogeneous Poisson point process on R^d and each edge {x,y} is associated to a filament with conductance depending on the temperature, the distance between the points x,y and their associated marks. In this talk we consider the subgraph containing only edges with lower bounded conductances and, using the method of randomized algorithms developed by Duminil-Copin et al. and the renormalization argument proposed by Grimmett and Marstrand, we analyze the connection probabilities and the left-right crossings in appropriate regimes. These percolation properties are key ingredients for understanding the asymptotic behavior at low temperature of the effective conductivity of the Miller-Abrahams random resistor network. Joint work with Alessandra Faggionato (Sapienza University, Rome). ****************************************************************************************** *When*: Tuesday 17 December, 14:00 (sharp!) *Where:* Sala di Consiglio, Department of Mathematics, Sapienza University, Rome. *Speaker: *Gonzalo Panizo Garcia, IMCA, Lima, Perù *Title:* A self-interacting random walk *Abstract:* In 2011, Benjamini, Kozma and Schapira introduced a “balanced excited random walk” in the 4-dimensional lattice. In 2016, a similar model was studied by Peres, Schapira and Sousi in the 3-dimensional lattice. Here we generalize their constructions in the d-dimensional lattice, in the following way: if the walk visits a site for the first time, it makes a simple random walk step in the first d_1 dimensions, whereas if the site has been already visited, it makes a simple random walk step in the last d_2 coordinates. Both BKS and PSS proved transience in the non-overlapping case d=d_1+d_2, with d_1=d_2=4 (BKS) and d_1=1, d_2=3 (PSS). In this talk some result for the overlapping case (d_1+d_2>d) will be presented, in particular for d=4, d_1=2 and d_2=3. (Joint work with D. Camarena and A. Ramirez). -- ************************************************* Prof. Alessandra Faggionato http://www1.mat.uniroma1.it/~faggionato/ Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome Office 5, Phone (0039) 06 49913252 *************************************************
