Seminar: Adriano Barra at Tor Vergata 02.11
by Michele Salvi 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

Dear all, On Thursday, November 2nd, at 15h00 in Aula Dal Passo of Tor Vergata Math Department, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/about.php) will host Adriano Barra (Università del Salento) with the seminar "A walk in the statistical mechanics of neural networks” Abstract: Purpose of this talk is twofold: in the first part, I will provide a statistical mechanical picture of shallow networks proving how learning in biological neural networks (e.g. in the Hopfield model) and standard machine learning via gradient descent (e.g. on the Boltzmann machine) ultimately convey the same information after training. This diminishes the gap in our understanding between biological and artificial information processing networks. In the second part of the talk, focusing on a toy model for the sake of simplicity, I will show how recent mathematical techniques, heavily based on Guerra's interpolation, are suitable to describe the emergent properties of this kind of networks. We encourage in-person partecipation. Should you be unable to come, here is the link to the Teams streaming: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3arfsL73KX-fw86y1YnXq2nk5VnZFw… <https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19:rfsL73KX-fw86y1YnXq2nk5VnZFwPU…> The seminar is part of the Excellence Project MatMod@TOV.

Seminar: Philipp Sterzinger March 26, 2024, Ca' Foscari University of Venice
by Carlo Gaetan 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

Dear all, we are glad to announce the following hybrid seminar *March 26, 2024, 12:15 PM* *Where*: Aula Delta 2C- edificio Delta (Campus Scientifico), Via Torino, 155 Mestre (Venice, Italy) Zoom: https://unive.zoom.us/j/85153268624?pwd=MzBhdlA2M1B2dThJQ2Y5T0EwUE5PZz09 *Speaker*: Philipp Sterzinger, University of Warwick *Title*: Diaconis-Ylviskaer prior penalized likelihood in high-dimensional logistic regression *Abstract:* In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in estimators and inferential procedures that exhibit optimal asymptotic properties in high-dimensional logistic regression when the number of covariates grows proportionally as a fraction ($\kappa \in (0,1)$) of the number of observations. In this seminar, we focus on the behaviour of a class of maximum penalized likelihood estimators, employing the Diaconis-Ylvisaker prior as the penalty. Building on advancements in approximate message passing, we analyze the aggregate asymptotic behaviour of these estimators when covariates are normal random variables with arbitrary covariance. This analysis enables us to eliminate the persistent asymptotic bias of the estimators through straightforward rescaling for any value of the prior hypertuning parameter. Moreover, we derive asymptotic pivots for constructing inferences, including adjusted Z-statistics and penalized likelihood ratio statistics. Unlike the maximum likelihood estimate, which only asymptotically exists in a limited region on the plane of $\kappa$ versus signal strength, the maximum penalized likelihood estimate always exists and is directly computable via maximum likelihood routines. As a result, our asymptotic results remain valid even in regions where existing maximum likelihood results are not obtainable, with no overhead in implementation or computation. The dependency of the estimators on the prior hyper-parameter facilitates the derivation of estimators with zero asymptotic bias and minimal mean squared error. We will explore these estimators' shrinkage properties, substantiate our theoretical findings with simulations and applications.

Seminario Padova - Carlos Escudero Lienana
by alekos.cecchin＠unipd.it 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

Buongiorno a tutti, Vorremmo segnalarvi che venerdì prossimo (22 Marzo) alle ore 14:30 in aula 2AB40 (Torre Archimede, Università di Padova) ci sarà un seminario per il ciclo di seminari in Probabilità e Finanza di: Carlos Escudero Lienana (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) <https://portalcientifico.uned.es/investigadores/204034/colaboracion/organiz aciones/9> https://portalcientifico.uned.es/investigadores/204034/colaboracion/organiza ciones/9 Title: The noise interpretation problem in mathematical physics Date: March 22, 2024, at 14:30 room 2AB40 Abstract: Stochastic differential equations have been used as models in physics and finance for many decades now. Before a rigorous theory of these mathematical objects were introduced, and even after that, an informal use of these equations has been employed in these two fields, among many others. Herein we will focus on the extensive use of them employed in statistical physics. While the primordial use is explicitly informal, at some point the physics community recognize the importance of using a more precise language. This is the starting point of the noise interpretation problem, which translated, in hundreds of papers, in deciding whether a given model should be considered an Itô or a Stratonovich stochastic integral equation. Quite surprisingly, after several decades and hundreds of papers, and also after the question was considered settled by a certain establishment, the problem still seems to be open. Herein we will show certain examples that illustrate how this search for a more precise language in the physics literature has translated old ambiguities into newer ones. We will resolve some of them using the precise mathematical language introduced by Kiyoshi Itô and other classical stochastic analysts. Vi aspettiamo numerosi!

Seminari PRISMA - lun 8 aprile 2024
by Francesco Caravenna 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

Seminari on-line del gruppo UMI - PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/ <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://www.youtube.com/@umi1922/videos <https://www.youtube.com/@umi1922/videos> Il prossimo appuntamento è per lunedì 8 aprile 2024. I relatori saranno Emanuela Sasso (Università di Genova) e Federico Girotti (Politecnico di Milano) che parleranno di Semigruppi quantistici markoviani: decoerenza, ricorrenza e accessibilità 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/82939128330 <https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/82939128330> Meeting ID: 829 3912 8330 Vi aspettiamo numerosi! Valentina Cammarota e Francesco Caravenna %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RELATORI: Emanuela Sasso (Università di Genova) e Federico Girotti (Politecnico di Milano) TITOLO: Semigruppi quantistici markoviani: decoerenza, ricorrenza e accessibilità RIASSUNTO: I semigruppi markoviani quantistici sono essenzialmente semigruppi di operatori positivi su algebre di operatori con le opportune proprietà di continuità e che rafforzano la positività. Appaiono nella letteratura fisica e fisico-matematica alla fine degli anni '60 con il nome di semigruppi dinamici quantistici nella modellizzazione e nell'analisi dei sistemi aperti in meccanica quantistica. Tuttavia, dal punto di vista matematico, costituiscono la naturale generalizzazione dei semigruppi markoviani classici, infatti questi ultimi sono semigruppi di operatori definiti su un'algebra di funzioni, cioè un'algebra di operatori che commutano tra loro. Il modo più naturale per descrivere un sistema quantistico è un’algebra di Von Neumann e la sua evoluzione come una famiglia di operatori debole*-continui, che formino un semigruppo e che abbiano la proprietà di markovianità. Se il sistema è chiuso allora la sua evoluzione è reversibile, altrimenti se interagisce con l’ambiente allora ci potrebbe essere una parte diffusiva. In Fisica, si parla di “decoerenza” quando solo una parte del sistema evolve in maniera automorfica (l’algebra priva di decoerenza, appunto) e una parte “scompare” per tempi lunghi. La nostra ricerca si è focalizzata a lungo su quale definizione di decoerenza sia più adatta e se è possibile trovare condizioni necessarie e sufficienti per il suo verificarsi. Nello studio dei processi (semigruppi) di Markov classici sono fondamentali le nozioni di ricorrenza e comunicazione tra insiemi di stati; mostreremo come questi concetti siano stati generalizzati nel caso noncommutativo e discuteremo alcune delle loro proprietà e relazioni. Particolare attenzione sarà dato al caso in cui l’algebra su cui agisce il semigruppo sia l’insieme di tutti gli operatori lineari limitati che agiscono su uno spazio di Hilbert. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

SPASS seminar: Patrick Charbonneau
by Andrea Agazzi 15 Mar '24

15 Mar '24

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Toward a robust definition of random close packing* by Patrick Charbonneau (Duke University) The seminar will take place on TUE, 19.03.2024 at 14:30 CET (*please note the unusual time*) in Aula Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, UNIPI and streamed online at this link <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: **The apparent simplicity of amorphous sphere packings can be misleading. Although jamming hard spheres to random close packing (rcp) has been studied for decades, an unambiguous definition of rcp, let alone a first-principle prediction remain elusive. Drawing inspiration from liquid state theory, rcp can be identified with the inherent structure of a hard sphere liquid. Identifying inherent structures of hard spheres through optimization, however, is a non-trivial problem. Motivated by a recent (meta-)analysis of existing algorithms, we consider the behavior of minimal models of jamming that can be studied using various approaches, notably with tools from stochastic geometry and the mean-field description of simple glasses. The resulting insights present a path toward formalizing rcp.*

corso di dottorato di Vittoria Silvestri in Sapienza a partire dal 18/3
by Lorenzo Taggi 14 Mar '24

14 Mar '24

*Title: *Introduction to Random Geometry *Abstract:* This course wants to give an overview of active research topics in the field of Random Geometry, with a focus on growth models. We will start by discussing discrete growth models such as the Eden model, Diffusion Limited Aggregation and Internal DLA. We will then move to the continuum for the remaining part of the course. After discussing conformal invariance of Brownian motion, we will focus on the class of randomly growing domains on the complex plane which can be described via Loewner dynamics. We will introduce several random aggregation models on the complex plane, which go under the name of Hastings-Levitov models and Aggregate Loewner Evolutions, of which we will study the large-scale features, presenting existing results and several open questions. *Keywords:* Random growth models, Diffusion Limited Aggregation, Schramm-Loewner Evolutions, Hastings-Levitov, Aggregate Loewner Evolutions. *Prerequisites:* The course will be as self-contained as possible. However, basic notions of Probability and Analysis are necessary. Some knowledge of complex analysis, martingale theory and stochastic calculus is desirable but not required. *Duration:* 20 hours (10 lectures of 2 hours each) *Class schedule:* The lectures will take place in Room G, Dipartimento di Matematica G. Castelnuovo, 13:00-15:00 in the following dates: Monday 18/3 Wednesday 20/3 Friday 22/3 Monday 25/3 Wednesday 27/3 Tuesday 2/4 Wednesday 3/4 Monday 8/4 Wednesday 10/4 Friday 12/4

Politecnico di Milano - MOX Colloquia - Simon Wood - ore 14
by Laura Maria Sangalli 14 Mar '24

14 Mar '24

Scusandomi per refuso in precedente comunicazione, desidero precisare per gli interessati che l’orario di inizio del seminario di Simon Wood di oggi pomeriggio è alle ore 14 precise. Si avvisa che in data 14-03-2024, alle ore **14:00** precise presso il Politecnico di Milano, in aula Consiglio (settimo piano Dipartimento di Matematica - edificio 14), si svolgerà il seguente seminario della serie MOX Colloquia Simon Wood, School of Mathematics, University of Edinburgh Titolo: On Neighbourhood Cross Validation Abstract: Cross validation is a well known method for estimating hyperparameters in complex regression models. It comes in many varieties, but some of the more interesting flavours require multiple model fits with consequently high cost. This talk shows how the high cost can be side-stepped for a wide range of models estimated using a quadratically penalized smooth loss, with rather low approximation error. Once the computational cost has the same leading order as a single model fit, it becomes feasible to efficiently optimize the chosen cross-validation criterion with respect to multiple smoothing/precision parameters. Interesting applications include cross-validating smooth additive quantile regression models, and the use of leave-out-neighbourhood cross validation for dealing with nuisance short range autocorrelation. The link between cross validation and the jackknife can be exploited to obtain reasonably well calibrated uncertainty quantification in these case. Il link per seguire il seminario online sarà reso disponibile pochi minuti prima dell’avvio del seminario al seguente link https://mox.polimi.it/mox-colloquia-seminars-list/mox-seminars/?id_evento=2… Tutti gli interessati sono cordialmente invitati a partecipare, Laura Sangalli —— Laura Maria Sangalli MOX - Dipartimento di Matematica Politecnico di Milano Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32 20133 Milano - Italy (+39) 02 2399 4554 laura.sangalli(a)polimi.it<mailto:laura.sangalli@polimi.it> https://sangalli.faculty.polimi.it

Seminario di C. Ulcigrai a Milano-Bicocca (21 mar 2024)
by Giampaolo Cristadoro 13 Mar '24

13 Mar '24

Buongiorno, ho il piacere di annunciare che il 21 Marzo alle ore 14:30 in U5 RATIO - aula 3014 (Univ. Milano - Bicocca) si terrà il seguente Seminario Matematico e Fisico di Milano: Prof.ssa Corinna Ulcigrai (Institut für Mathematik - Universität Zürich) "Periodic surfaces and deterministic random walks: dynamics between geometry and probability" Abstract: Many deterministic systems display chaotic features: the stronger the chaotic features, the better the system can be approximated by a probabilistic model, an idea that can be traced back to Boltzmann and explains the success of the branch of dynamical systems known as ergodic theory. In this talk, we will discuss systems that display only 'mild’ chaotic features, such as the geodesic flow on surfaces with a flat geometry or the Ehrenfest model in mathematical physics. Recent breakthroughs in our understanding of the latter model introduced more than a century ago, were made possible by the powerful tools exploiting moduli spaces of surfaces and Teichmueller dynamics, an area which has attracted the work of several Fields medallists. We will in particular highlight some results of probabilistic flavor that can still be proven for these deterministic systems, hidden in the fractal structure of trajectories and the 'deterministic random walks' that describe them. Il seminario sarà seguito da un piccolo rinfresco. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare, Giampaolo Cristadoro -------------------------------------------------------- Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni Università di Milano - Bicocca via R.
