Dear all,
After 5 Seasons of the One World Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) Seminar<https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/news/upcoming-seminars/abcworldsem…>, launched in April 2020 to gather members and disseminate results and innovation during those weeks and months under lockdown, we have now decided to launch a "new" seminar series, the One World Approximate Bayesian Inference (OWABI) Seminar<https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/news/upcoming-seminars/abcworldsem…>, to better reflect the broader interest and scope of this series, which goes beyond ABC. In particular, simulation-based inference and ML related techniques will play a crucial role. We are also please to announce that Stefan Radev<https://faculty.rpi.edu/stefan-radev> <https://faculty.rpi.edu/stefan-radev> has joined the OWABI Organiser Team.
The 1st OWABI talk will be given by Ullrich Koethe<https://hci.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/vislearn/people/ullrich-koethe/> (University of Heidelberg), who will talk about "Free-form flows for physics-informed generative modeling" on Thursday the 31st October at 11am UK time.
Abstract: The talk first introduces a useful categorization of the (sometimes confusing) "generative model zoo" in terms of different change-of-variables formulas. It then shows how normalizing flows, a major architecture for generative neural networks, can be used for simulation-based Bayesian inference in the sciences. Finally, it proposes free-form flows to simplify the incorporation of physical prior knowledge, e.g. rotation and translation invariance or the restriction of the distribution to a manifold, into generative models.
Keywords: normalizing flows; physical-informed neural networks; simulation-based inference
The talk will be streamed on MS Teams:

Dear all,
a gentle reminder of the mini-course by Michael Yampolsky. It will be also
possible to follow the lectures remotely at the link given in the message
below.
Kind regards
Stefano Marmi
Dear all,
In the next few weeks Prof. Michael Yampolsky (University of Toronto
Mississauga) will give a series of 4 lectures on*“Computability and
Computational Complexity Questions in Dynamics”* at the Scuola Normale
Superiore in Pisa. The lectures will take place on Thursdays October 24 and
31 and November 7 and 14, at* 4:30* pm in* Aula Volterra*, Piazza dei
Cavalieri 7 and will be streamed online.
Please find below the title and abstract of the first lecture (Thursday
October 24) and the relative zoom link.
*October 24:* *Computability and computational complexity in dynamics: can
we trust numerical predictions of limiting behavior of orbits?*
The development of the modern subject of dynamical systems went
hand-in-hand with numerical modeling. However, the theoretical basis of
such modeling has remained largely unexplored and offers exciting
challenges. What can and cannot be computed about the behavior of a
dynamical system? I will give an overview of some of the recent results and
directions of study.
*Zoom link* :
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87207701292?pwd=cS85dXl0WC9udDhJNmkrd3FQVDJhdz09
Below you can find titles and abstracts of the next lectures.
*October 31:* *Don’t believe your lying eyes: (non)-computability of Julia
sets.*
The talk will be a deep dive into the question of computability and
computational complexity of Julia sets. Their fractal images are among the
most-computed pictures in all of mathematics. But can we trust what these
computations show? The results are surprising, and involve some beautiful
complex analysis. The talk will be based on my work with M. Braverman, as
well as more recent results obtained with A. Dudko, C. Rojas, and others.
*November 7:* *How to lose at Monte Carlo: computing statistical behavior
of dynamical systems.*
Introduced by Ulam and von Neumann in the 1940s, Monte Carlo technique
remains the most ubiquitous tool for statistical modeling. Surprisingly,
our recent work with C. Rojas shows that such modeling probably fails for
some very simple dynamical systems. I will present this theorem and discuss
the resulting mathematical challenges.
*November 14:* *Thurston versus Turing: algorithmic hardness of classifying
finite dynamical systems.*
Historically, the algorithmic aspects of classification problems have
motivated much of the research in geometric topology (knot theory,
classification of surfaces and 3-manifolds, etc). These questions are also
very fruitful in dynamics. I will discuss the joint results with N.
Selinger, K. Rafi and others on algorithmic decidability of Thurston
equivalence and the connection with geometrization questions in dynamics.
Best wishes,
Roberto

Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly
organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi (abstract below):
*Stationary distribution of node2vec random walks on household models*
by *Lars Schroeder* (University of Twente)
The seminar will take place on *TUE, 22.10.2024* at* 11:00 CET* in Aula
Tricerri, Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica "Ulisse Dini", UNIFI and
streamed online at this link <https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg>.

--------------------------------------------
*Stationary distribution of node2vec random walks on household models*
*Abstract: node2vec random walks are tuneable random walks that come from
the popular computer science algorithm node2vec which is used for feature
learning on networks. The transition probabilities of the random walks
depend on the previous visited node and on the triangles that contain the
current and the previous node. Even though the algorithm is very popular in
the field of computer science, mathematical properties of the random walks
almost have not been explored. We will present results on the stationary
distribution of these random walks on household models and compare it with
the simple random walk.*
SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO
<https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…>
Martedi 22 Ottobre 2024, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto, in Piazza
Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario:
------------------------------------------------
*12.00-13.00*
Speaker: Beatrice Acciaio (ETH Zurich)
Title: *Stretched Brownian Motion and Bass local-volatility model*
Abstract:
The concept of stretched Brownian motion (SBM) has been introduced by
Backhoff-Veraguas et al (2020) as the unique solution to a dynamic
formulation of the martingale transport problem. The name originates from
the characteristic of mimicking as closely as possible the movement of a
Brownian particle, while fitting the prescribed marginals. Conze and
Henry-Labordere (2021) suggested a fixed-point iteration scheme for the
computation of the SBM. In this talk I will review fundamental results for
the SMB and provide convergence results of the fixed-point iteration. This
constitutes the building block for the computation of the Bass local
volatility model, which is a Markov model perfectly calibrated to vanilla
options for finite maturities, and an approximation of the Dupire local
volatility model.
[Based on a joint work with A. Marini and G. Pammer.]

Subject: January 28-29 IRS 2025 Conference Announcement
To: <faggiona(a)mat.uniroma1.it>
Dear Colleagues,
This is the first announcement for the two-day conference on:
INHOMOGENEOUS RANDOM SYSTEMS
which will be held on Tuesday 28 and Wednesday 29 January 2025
at Institut Henri Poincaré, Paris.
You will find in attachment a PDF file of the announcement
with the same informations as below which you may print and post up.
Looking forward to meeting you in Paris,
Christian Maes, Kirone Mallick, Ellen Saada.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
INHOMOGENEOUS RANDOM SYSTEMS
Systemes Aleatoires Inhomogenes
January 28-29, 2025
Institut Henri Poincaré
11-13, rue Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris
The aim of this annual workshop is to bring together
mathematicians and physicists working on disordered or random
systems, and to discuss recent developments on themes of
common interest. Each of the two days is devoted to a
specific topic; the 2025 session is planned as follows.
Tuesday 28 January:
SPIN GLASSES AND RELATED TOPICS.
Moderator: Jean-Christophe Mourrat (Lyon).
Spin glasses are models of statistical mechanics characterized by
disordered interactions and complex energy landscapes. They serve as
fundamental examples of complex systems, providing insights into
various scientific fields. This event will bring together different
perspectives from mathematics, physics, and computer science,
showcasing recent developments and promising research directions.
Speakers: Leticia Cugliandolo (Paris), Brice Huang (Boston),
Antoine Maillard (Paris), Remi Monasson (Paris),
Guilhem Semerjian (Paris), Eliran Subag (Rehovot),
Pierfrancesco Urbani (Saclay).
Wednesday 29 January:
ERGODICITY-BREAKING PHENOMENA IN QUANTUM MECHANICS.
Moderator: Wojciech De Roeck (Leuven)
Experimental marvels like cold atoms are allowing us to probe
many-body Hamiltonian dynamics in a very detailed way, bringing into
focus questions that might have seemed almost philosophical in
earlier decades. One of the surprises from these experiments is that
such systems often fail to thermalize. Phenomena like `localization',
`quantum scars' and various types of glassy behaviour are ubiquitous
in these simple quantum systems, whereas they do not seem so common
in condensed matter platforms. This day brings together several
specialists from this field.
Speakers: Marin Bukov (Dresden), François Huveneers (London),
Andrea De Luca (Cergy), David Luitz (Bonn),
Markus Mueller (Vienna), Silvia Pappalardi (Koeln),
Simone Warzel (Muenchen).
---------------------
The conference is free and open to all.
