Avviso di Seminario, università di Trento Stochastic homogenization in amorphous media and applications to interacting particle systems and random resistor networks Giovedì 5 dicembre 2019 Luogo: Polo Ferrari 1, via Sommarive, 5 - Povo (TN) - Aula A221 Ore: 16:00 Relatore: Alessandra Faggionato (Università La Sapienza, Roma) Abstract: We consider random walks on marked simple point processes with symmetric jump rates and unbounded jump range. Examples are given by simple random walks on Delaunay triangulations or Mott variable range hopping in doped semiconductors. We present homogenization results for the associated Markov generators. As a first application, we obtain the hydrodynamic limit of the exclusion process given by multiple random walks as above, with hard–core interaction. As a second application, we derive a limit theorem for the effective conductivity of some classes of random resistor networks. This result together with a percolation-type analysis allows to derive the low temperature scaling behavior of conductivity in some classes of strongly disordered media.

Seminar Berthet @Bocconi
by Giacomo Zanella 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

We announce the following DEC Statistics seminar: Thursday, November 28 12:30 Meeting room 3-e4-sr03, Bocconi University, Via Roentgen 1, 3rd floor Quentin Berthet (Google Research) Title: Optimal transport methods in statistics and machine learning: theory and applications Abstract: Optimal transport is one of the foundational problems of optimization, and a very important topic in analysis. It asks how one can transport mass with a given measure to have another measure, with minimal global transport cost. The associated Wasserstein distance is a useful statistical tool to compare distributions, taking into account geometric properties of the data. In this presentation, I will talk about two recent projects on this topic. In the first one, we propose a novel approach for unsupervised embedding alignment, and show applications to natural language processing. It is based on a new approach for Wasserstein loss minimization (joint work with E. Grave and A. Joulin). In the second one, we provide new methods and guarantees for estimation of distributions with smooth densities, in the Wasserstein distance. We show that these tools, inspired by techniques in nonparametric statistics, yield information-theoretic optimal results. We also develop ideas to handle our proposed estimators in a computationally efficient manner, and explore some of the associated computational trade-offs (joint work with J. Weed). Kind regards, Giacomo Zanella The DEC statistics seminars schedule is available at http://www.unibocconi.eu/statseminar Please note: if you are a guest and you do not have a Bocconi ID Card to access to the Bocconi Buildings, please communicate your participation by sending an email to elisa.picassi(a)unibocconi.it

Seminatio Pierre Patie @ UniTo - 5 Dicembre

25 Nov '19

********************************************************************* SEMINARI DI PROBABILITÀ E STATISTICA MATEMATICA DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA "G. PEANO" UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI TORINO ********************************************************************* Giovedì 5 Dicembre 2019 alle ore 14:00 nell'aula Magna del Dipartimento di Matematica "G. Peano" dell'Università degli Studi di Torino, Via Carlo Alberto 10, Il Prof. *Pierre Patie* (Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA) terrà un seminario dal titolo *Completely monotone intertwining relations* Abstract: In this talk, we introduce the concept of completely monotone intertwining relations as a strengthening of usual intertwining relations between Markov semi-groups. We proceed by providing some interesting applications of this new idea which includes the characterization of ergodic constants and hypercontractivity estimates for non-self-adjoint semigroups. We illustrate these results by presenting several examples that have emerged from the recent literature: discrete-to-continuous interacting particle models, degenerate hypoelliptic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes, and diffusion-to-jump Jacobi processes. This talk is based on a joint a work with L. Miclo (IMT Toulouse). Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

First Announcement of the Conference on Stochastic Partial Differential Equations & Applications - XI edition We are pleased to inform you that the "Conference on Stochastic Partial Differential Equations & Applications" will be held from June 1st to June 5th, 2020 in Levico Terme (Trento, Italy). This is the XI-th edition of a series of conferences on SPDEs which, during the years, has become one of the most popular occasions for the community to meet and discuss the latest developments. This year we have, for the first time, 4 mini-courses given by (1) Francesco Caravenna (Italy) (2) Martin Hairer (UK) (3) Martina Hofmanova (Germany) (4) Nikolay Tzvetkov (France) All the researchers in the field are invited to participate. We especially invite young researchers (at Ph.D. or Post-doctorate level) to attend the conference and give a short presentation in dedicated sessions we aim to organize. We are trying to secure funds to support their expenses. Any further information can be found in the website of the conference: https://spdelevico2020.wordpress.com/ Best regards, Stefano Bonaccorsi, Sandra Cerrai, Franco Flandoli, Lorenzo Zambotti (organizing committee)

Seminario RYDER

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Venerdì 29 Novembre 2019, alle ore 12:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Robin RYDER (Université Paris Dauphine) A BAYESIAN NON-PARAMETRIC METHODOLOGY FOR INFERRING GRAMMAR COMPLEXITY Based on a set of strings from a language, we wish to infer the complexity of the underlying grammar. To this end, we develop a methodology to choose between two classes of formal grammars in the Chomsky hierarchy: simple regular grammars and more complex context-free grammars. To do so, we introduce a probabilistic context-free grammar model in the form of a Hierarchical Dirichlet Process over rules expressed in Greibach Normal Form. In comparison to other representations, this has the advantage of nesting the regular class within the context-free class. We consider model comparison both by exploiting this nesting, and with Bayes’ factors. The model is fit using a Sequential Monte Carlo method, implemented in the Birch probabilistic programming language. We apply this methodology to data collected from primates, for which the complexity of the grammar is a key question. (joint work with L. Murray, J. Rousseau and A. Thin) ------------------------------------------------ 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.
