Short course - Kolyan RAY (Imperial)
by Matteo Ruggiero 28 Nov '24

28 Nov '24

Dear Colleagues, as part of the Visiting Professors program of the Master's Degree in Stochastics and Data Science at the University of Torino (full program available at https://www.master-sds.unito.it/go/visiting), we are pleased to announce the following short course: ——————————————————— Kolyan RAY (Imperial College London) POSTERIOR ASYMPTOTICS IN BAYESIAN NONPARAMETRICS This mini-course will cover an introduction into the asymptotic theory for Bayesian nonparametric procedures. This provides a useful tool to understand how prior choices can affect the statistical performance of the Bayes method in high or infinite dimensional models. We will cover the notion of posterior consistency and convergence rates, using Gaussian process priors as a canonical example. At the end, we will also touch on recent extensions of such theory to variational Bayes, which provides a scalable posterior approximation algorithm. ——————————————————— The course will be held exclusively in-person, according to the following schedule: - Tue Dec 10, h. 9.15-11.15 - Wed Dec 11, h. 11.15-13.00 - Thu Dec 12, h. 9.15-11.15 - Thu Dec 12, h. 14.00-16.00 Course location: Room 30, third floor, Corso Unione Sovietica 218/bis, 10134, Torino. The participation is open to everyone interested. Best regards, Matteo Ruggiero --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it

Seminario Padova - Alex Delalande
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 28 Nov '24

28 Nov '24

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (29 Novembre) alle ore 14:30 in aula 2BC30 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Alex Delalande (EPFL Losanna) https://alex-delalande.github.io Title: Sharper Exponential Convergence Rates for Sinkhorn's Algorithm in Continuous Settings Date: November 29, 2024, at 14:30, room 2BC30 Abstract: In this talk, I will present recent results I obtained in collaboration with Lénaïc Chizat and Tomas Vaškevičius regarding the convergence rate of Sinkhorn's algorithm for solving entropy-regularized optimal transport problems, in the context where at least one of the probability measures, say \mu, admits a density over \R^d. For a semi-concave cost function bounded by c∞ and a regularization parameter λ>0, we obtained exponential convergence guarantees on the dual sub-optimality gap with contraction rates that are polynomial in λ/c∞. This represents an exponential improvement over the known contraction rate 1−Θ(exp(−c∞/λ)) achievable via Hilbert's projective metric. Specifically, we proved a contraction rate value of 1−Θ(λ²/c²∞) when has a bounded log-density. In some cases, such as when is log-concave and the cost function is c(x,y)=−⟨x,y⟩, this rate improves to 1−Θ(λ/c∞). The latter rate matches the one that we derived for the transport between isotropic Gaussian measures, indicating tightness in the dependency in λ/c∞. Our results are fully non-asymptotic and explicit in all the parameters of the problem. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

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.

Seminario PRISMA mar 3 dic 2024
by Francesco Caravenna 19 Nov '24

19 Nov '24

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/) I seminari PRISMA hanno un formato di "colloquium" per creare un'occasione di scambio e discussione con tutta la comunità dei probabilisti e statistici italiani. Ogni giornata comprende due relatori che tengono due seminari di 30 minuti strettamente connessi, per presentare alla comunità una prospettiva sul proprio ambito di ricerca. Da quest'anno le registrazioni dei seminari vengono pubblicate sul canale YouTube dell'UMI: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmySpc-jrtAMq84VH71evyqPc1hl6eEQb Il prossimo appuntamento è per martedì 3 dicembre 2024. I relatori saranno Sonia Mazzucchi e Stefano Bonaccorsi (Università di Trento) che ci parleranno di Passeggiate casuali sul piano complesso ed equazioni del calore di ordine superiore al secondo con il seguente orario: 16:00 Primo seminario 16:30 Pausa e discussione 16:45 Secondo seminario 17:15 Conclusione e discussione Trovate di seguito il riassunto. I seminari verranno trasmessi via Zoom al seguente link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/88679569146 Meeting ID: 886 7956 9146 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Sonia Mazzucchi (Università di Trento) e Stefano Bonaccorsi (Università di Trento) TITOLO: Passeggiate casuali sul piano complesso ed equazioni del calore di ordine superiore al secondo RIASSUNTO: La celebre formula di Feynman-Kac, che fornisce una rappresentazione della soluzione dell'equazione del calore in termini di un integrale rispetto alla misura di Wiener, non può essere generalizzata al caso in cui il laplaciano, o più in generale l'operatore ellittico del secondo ordine, è sostituito da un operatore di ordine superiore a 2. In altre parole per tale classe di equazioni differenziali di ordine elevato non è possibile costruire un processo stocastico che svolga lo stesso ruolo giocato dal moto Browniano per l'equazione del calore. Nella prima parte del seminario si illustreranno dapprima le ragioni di questo risultato no-go per poi descrivere un possibile metodo per aggirarlo tramite la costruzione di opportune successioni di passeggiate casuali nel piano complesso. Nella seconda parte del seminario si descriveranno ulteriori applicazioni e generalizzazioni di tale tecnica. In particolare si illustrerà la costruzione di un calcolo stocastico associato alla successione di passeggiate casuali e la dimostrazione di formule di Feynman-Kac per PDE di ordine elevato, anche nel caso di derivate di tipo frazionario. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Reminder: Bertram Duering in Sapienza
by Enrico Scalas 18 Nov '24

18 Nov '24

Car* collegh*, mi permetto di ricordare il seguente annuncio inviato più di un mese fa. Il seminario si terrà domani. -- Il 19 novembre 2024, in aula 24 del Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, Sapienza, Università di Roma, alle ore 14, il Prof. Bertram Düring della University of Warwick, Mathematics Institute terrà un seminario dal titolo From interacting agents to emerging patterns in economics and sociology Riassunto: Real-world systems in economics and sociology often consist of a large number of interacting agents that may form patterns or develop a collective behaviour. Typical applications include wealth and income distribution in an economy and opinion formation in a society. Mathematical techniques originating from statistical mechanics can be successfully developed further to model such systems and obtain mesoscopic and macroscopic descriptions of the microscopic dynamics. Such approaches frequently lead to generalisations of the classical Boltzmann equation for gas dynamics and associated limit partial differential equations. In this talk I will discuss different kinetic models for wealth distribution and opinion formation, and present analytical and numerical results. Tutte le persone interessate sono invitate a partecipare. Chi fosse interessato a partecipare a distanza, per favore, mi scriva a: enrico.scalas(a)uniroma1.it -- Cordiali saluti, Enrico Scalas
