Seminario di Luca Avena a Roma Tre il 15/01/19 ore 11:30

SEMINARIO Luca Avena (Leiden University, NL) Martedi' 15 Gennaio 2019 ORE 11:30 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1 - Pal.C - Aula 211 Titolo: Mixing time on dynamic configuration model Abstract: We are interested in understanding the mixing time (i.e. the time to reach equilibrium) for a discrete-time random walk moving on a network changing over time in a random fashion. To this aim, we consider a specific model where the underlying evolving network has n vertices, it is initially sampled from the so-called configuration model (a random graph ensemble with a prescribed vertex-degree sequence) and at each time-unit a given fraction of the edge set is randomly rewired. We characterize the mentioned mixing-time for a random walk without backtracking as a function of the fraction of rewired edges. This work extends to a dynamic setup previous works on random walks on static random graphs. In particular, we show that the mixing-time is speeded-up by the presence of the edge-rewiring dynamics and depending on whether such a dynamics is slow, moderate or fast, we show the presence of so-called cutoff , half-cutoff, or absence of cutoff, respectively.

seminario Feireisl presso Scuola Normale Superiore
by Franco Flandoli 06 Jan '19

06 Jan '19

*mercoledì 9 gennaio 2019* ore 11:00 *Scuola Normale Superiore* Pisa Aula Mancini *Eduard Feireisl* *(Institute of Mathematics of the Czech Academy of Sciences)* Terrà un seminario dal titolo: *“**Semiflow selection for the compressible Euler system**” * *Abstract:* *Using the methods of the theory of Markov semigroups, we show the existence of a Borel measurable solution semiflow for the isentropic Euler system in the multidimensional setting. Solutions are understood as time dependent trajectories of the basic state variables - the mass density, the linear momentum, and the energy - in a suitable phase space. The underlying system of PDE's is satisfied in a generalized sense. The solution semiflow enjoys the standard semigroup properties and the solutions coincide with the strong solutionsof the isentropic Euler system as long as the latter exists. Moreover, * *they minimize the energy (maximize the energy dissipation) among all generalized solutions. **(joint work with D.Breit and M.Hofmanova)* Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

Hacking day on Graphical Models
by Claudio Agostinelli 31 Dec '18

31 Dec '18

Hacking Day at Mathematics for daTa scieNce is a series of crash courses (4-8hours) in special topics. The second Hacking Day is Monday and Tuesday, 2019/01/28-29 on: **Graphical Models** Eva Riccomagno (unige) Federico Carli (unige) The course is an introduction to statistical models supported on finite graphs. The idea of modelling a complex system with a graph is present in various disciplines, from information theory to systems engineering to machine learning. In statistics a graphical model specifies conditional independence statements between random vectors, thus providing a statistical model for the joint distribution of observed variables. The graph has the advantage of providing a visual representation and is a powerful calculation tool. The course presents the basics of probabilistic graphical models, including their algebraic representations and basic software. Further information are available at: http://datascience.maths.unitn.it/events/gm2019/index.html Participation is free.

=========================================================== *Subject*: Postdoc position in Machine Learning (1 year, renewable up to 2 years) *Institution*: RIST - Romanian Institute of Science and Technology, Cluj-Napoca *Keywords*: Geometry of Latent Spaces, Optimization over Manifolds, Information Geometry, Natural Gradient, Riemannian Geometry *Application deadline*: 10 October 2018 (applicants are encouraged to apply earlier) *Salary*: around 2200 euro net *Official announcement*: http://rist.ro/en/details/news/postdoc-positions-in-deep-learning-and-machi… =========================================================== Dear colleagues, the Romanian Institute of Science and Technology (RIST) has an opening for a postdoc position, in the context of the DeepRiemann project “Riemannian Optimization Methods for Deep Learning”, funded by European structural funds through the Competitiveness Operational Program (POC 2014-2020). The appointments will be for 1 year, with possible extensions up to 2 years. The DeepRiemann project aims at the design and analysis of novel training algorithms for Neural Networks in Deep Learning, by applying notions of Riemannian optimization and differential geometry. The task of the training a Neural Network is studied by employing tools from Optimization over Manifolds and Information Geometry, by casting the learning process to an optimization problem defined over a statistical manifold, i.e., a set of probability distributions. The project is highly interdisciplinary, with competences spanning from Machine Learning to Optimization, Deep Learning, Statistics, and Differential Geometry. The objectives of the project are multiple and include both theoretical and applied research, together with industrial activities oriented to transfer knowledge, from the institute to a startup or spin-off of the research group. The positions will be part of the new Machine Learning and Optimization group https://rist.ro/en/teams.html, which performs research at the intersection of Machine Learning, Stochastic Optimization, Deep Learning, and Optimization over Manifolds, using geometric methods based on Information Geometry. The group is one of two newly-formed groups in Machine Learning at RIST. The official job announcement can be seen here: http://rist.ro/en/details/news/postdoc-positions-in-deep-learning-and-machi… Informal inquiries can be sent to Dr. Luigi Malagò <malago(a)rist.ro>, principal investigator of the DeepRiemann project. Application deadline: 10 October 2018 (applicants are encouraged to apply earlier) best regards, Luigi Malagò

Seminario di Davide Bignamini a Pavia
by Carbone Raffaella 13 Dec '18

13 Dec '18

Cari colleghi, vi annuncio che giovedì 20 dicembre, alle ore 12, nell'aula Beltrami del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' di Pavia, il Dott. Davide Bignamini (Università di Parma) terrà un seminario dal titolo Enclosures and structure of invariant states for quantum channels di cui segue il sunto. Distinti saluti, Raffaella Carbone Abstract: In my talk I will present some probability properties for quantum channels, and I will show some similarities with the theory of classical Markov chains. At first I will introduce the concepts of reducibility, invariant state and enclosure. After that I will discuss the structure of invariant states related to the possible decompositions in enclosures of the positive recurrent subspace. Finally I will reconsider this result for a particular case of homogeneous open quantum random walks. This talk is based on the contents of my Master's thesis (Tesi di Laurea Magistrale).

STATISTICS SEMINARS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO Mercoledì 19 Dicembre 2018, alle ore 11:00, presso il nuovo edificio del Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario: ------------------------------------------------ Matteo SESIA (Stanford University) NEW TOOLS FOR REPRODUCIBLE VARIABLE SELECTION WITH KNOCKOFFS Model-X knockoffs [1] is a new statistical framework that allows the scientist to investigate the relationship between a response of interest and hundreds or thousands of explanatory variables. In particular, model-X knockoffs can be used to identify a subset of important variables from a larger pool that could potentially explain a phenomenon under study while rigorously controlling the false discovery rate [2] in very complex statistical models. In this talk we will briefly review the fundamentals of knockoffs and their use in two different scenarios. First, we will discuss about how knockoffs can be used to exploit prior knowledge of genetic variation to obtain a powerful tool for genome-wide association studies [3]. Then, we will see how the information contained in large unsupervised datasets can be harnessed to perform effectively "model-free" variable selection [4]. [1] E. J. Candès, Y. Fan, L. Janson, and J.
