*Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma * *Martedì 10 gennaio* *Ore 14:00, Aula di Consiglio* *Seminario di Probabilità e Statistica Matematica* *Antonio Lijoi, Dipartimento di Economia e Management, Università di Pavia* *Titolo: Bayesian nonparametric inference with heterogeneous data* *Abstract: * *The talk provides an overview of some recent work on random probability measure vectors and their role in Bayesian statistics. Indeed, dependent nonparametric priors are useful tools for drawing inferences on data that arise from different, though related, studies or experiments and for which the usual exchangeability assumption is not satisfied. The presentation will focus on models based on completely random measures, or suitable transformations thereof, that have an additive, a hierarchical and a nested structure. Some of their distributional properties relevant for prediction will be discussed. These theoretical results are, then, used for devising Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms that will be implemented within some illustrative examples for analyzing data in the contexts of species sampling problems and survival analysis.* *Tutti gli interessati sono invitati ad intervenire.* *Per richieste di informazioni scrivere a piccioni(a)mat.uniroma1.it <piccioni(a)mat.uniroma1.it>.*

Simone Scotti seminar [ Comp.Science Dept. UniVr ; January 11, 2017 - 3:00 PM ]
by Luca di persio 28 Dec '16

28 Dec '16

Prof. Simone Scotti [ LPMA, Université Paris Diderot ], will be hosted by the Computer Science Department of the University of Verona (Strada le Grazie, 15, Verona) https://goo.gl/maps/7uSSJWCiZtC2 the next 11st of January 2017 (Wednesday). He will give the seminar *Alpha-CIR Model with Branching Processes in Sovereign Interest Rate Modelling* scheduled at the *Green Hall*, *starting from 15:00*, with the following *Abstract* We introduce a class of interest rate models, called the alpha-CIR model, which gives a natural extension of the standard CIR model by adopting the alpha-stable Lévy process and preserving the branching property. This model allows to describe in a unified and parsimonious way several recent observations on the sovereign bond market such as the persistency of low interest rate together with the presence of large jumps at local extent. We emphasise on a general integral representation of the model by using random fields, with which we establish the link to the CBI processes and the affine models. Finally we analyse the jump behaviours and in particular the large jumps, and we provide numerical illustrations. This is a joint work with Ying Jiao and Chunhua Ma. *Here you can find more details*: http://www.di.univr.it/?ent=seminario&id=3847&lang=en Do not hesitate to contact me for further infos: luca.dipersio(a)univr.it Best, LuCa __ Luca Di Persio - PhD assistant professor of Probability and Mathematical Finance Dept.

One-day workshop on Algebraic Statistics
by Eva Riccomagno 27 Dec '16

27 Dec '16

Buongiorno a Tutti, Si informa che lunedi’ 23 gennaio presso il Dipartimento di Matematica dell’Universita’ di Genova, aula 705, si terra’ un workshop di Statistica Algebrica con il programma in calce. Gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare. Cordiali saluti, Eva Riccomagno ore 10.:30 Gherardo Varando, Computational Intelligence Group, Department of Artificial Intelligence, Technical University of Madrid http://cig.fi.upm.es/CIGmembers/gherardo_varando <http://cig.fi.upm.es/CIGmembers/gherardo_varando> TITLE: Polynomial representations of Bayesian network classifiers ABSTRACT: We briefly review our previous works on how to define families of polynomial that sign-represent decision functions induced by Bayesian network classifiers (BNCs). We show how to use those representations to bound the number of decision representable by BNCs and to study some extensions of BNCs to multi-label classification problems. We then expose the connections with algebraic statistic and in particular with the algebraic representation of discrete probability and conditional independence models. We conclude with some possible future lines of research. ore 11:30 Luigi Malago', Romanian Institute of Science and Technology - RIST TITLE: On the Geometry of Neural Networks: from 20-year-old Amari's natural gradient to these days ABSTRACT: Artificial neural networks consist of interconnected computational units, called neurons, which act as mathematical functions. From a mathematical perspective, a neural network is commonly defined as a composition of non-linear weighted sums, which transform input vectors to output vectors. Equivalently, from a probabilistic perspective, given an unknown probability distribution for the inputs, the network encodes a parametric conditional probability distribution, where the parameters are given by the connection weights. Information Geometry studies the geometry of statistical models with tools from differential and Riemannian geometry. Not surprisingly, one of the first applications of Information Geometry was related to the training of neural networks using the natural gradient. Neural networks were quite promising in the 80s in the machine learning community, but later on other methods gradually became more popular. More recently, starting from 2011-12, neural networks and their use in deep learning architectures have become prominent, thanks to their state-of-the-art performance in several different fields. In this talk we review the geometry of neural networks from the perspective of Information Geometry after almost 20 years from its conception, and we present some more recent applications of natural gradient-based methods for the training of deep neural networks. ore 14:00 Giovanni Pistone, ', de Castro Statistics, Collegio Carlo Alberto, Moncalieri TITLE: Geometries of the Gaussian Model ABSTRACT: In Information geometry, it is possible to define a number of different geometrical structures on the full Gaussian model: the Fisher-Rao Riemannian Manifold (S.T. Skovgaard 1981), the Wasserstein Riemannian Manifold (A. Takatsu 2011), the Exponential and Mixture Affine manifolds (G. Pistone & C. Sempi 1995). We discuss the features of these geometries, including the second order properties (e.g. Hessians), with special emphasis of the Wasserstein case. This turns out to be a special case of a more general set-up introduced in 2001 by R. Otto. Applications, due to L. Malagò (in progress), are presented. ————————————————————————————— Prof. Eva Riccomagno Dipartimento di Matematica - Universita` degli Studi di Genova Via Dodecaneso, 35 - 16146 Genova - ITALIA Tel: +39 - 010 - 353 6938 Fax: +39 - 010 - 353 6960 www.dima.unige.it/~riccomag
