The goal is to test whether new independent samples belong to the same distribution as a reference data set or are outliers. We study a solution based on conformal inference, a broadly applicable framework which yields p-values that are marginally valid in finite samples but are mutually dependent for different test points. We prove these p-values are positively dependent and enable exact false discovery rate control, although in a relatively weak marginal sense. We then introduce a new method to compute p-values that are both valid conditionally on the training data and independent of each other for different test points; this paves the way to stronger type-I error guarantees. Finally, we discuss how to further boost power by leveraging a separate data set of known outliers with an approach inspired by weighted hypothesis testing. The practical relevance of our results is demonstrated by numerical experiments on real and simulated data. ------------------------------------------------ Sarà possibile seguire il seminario anche in streaming: Join Zoom Meeting <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88278987175?pwd=NXhNM3dYd1hrT0JMT2p1N2syU1J2dz09> Il seminario è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative www.carloalberto.org/stats -- Pierpaolo De Blasi University of Torino & Collegio Carlo Alberto carloalberto.org/pdeblasi <https://sites.google.com/a/carloalberto.org/pdeblasi/>

Webinar Prisma 8 maggio Beghin-Cammarota
by Claudia Ceci 06 May '23

06 May '23

Buongiorno a tutt* ho il piacere di annunciare il prossimo webinar del ciclo di seminari online promosso dal Gruppo UMI PRISMA (http://www.umi-prisma.polito.it/index.html) *Lunedì 8 maggio 2023* *ore 16-17 Luisa Beghin * *Title*: Non-local differential operators in probability *Abstract* The study of nonlocal differential operators is an active field of research in pure and applied mathematics and has been drawing increasing attention over the last few years. Fractional-order operators (i.e. integrals and derivatives of non-integer order) are maybe the most famous and studied in the literature. Their origin goes back to the end of the seventeenth century, but only recently they have been applied to a variety of fields ranging from biology to engineering, probability theory, physics, image processing among others. In this talk, we will concentrate our attention on the stochastic applications of non-local operators, in particular in the theory of anomalous diffusions and renewal processes. *ore 17-18 Valentina Cammarota* *Title*: On the Correlation of Critical Points and Angular Trispectrum for Random Spherical Harmonics. *Abstract* We prove a Central Limit Theorem for the Critical Points of Random Spherical Harmonics, in the High-Energy Limit. The result is a consequence of a deeper characterizations of the total number of critical points, which are shown to be asymptotically fully correlated with the sample trispectrum, i.e., the integral of the fourth Hermite polynomial evaluated on the eigenfunctions themselves. As a consequence, the total number of critical points and the nodal length are fully correlated for random spherical harmonics, in the high-energy limit.

Seminario Veronica Berrocal presso Politecnico di Milano
by Laura Maria Sangalli 05 May '23

05 May '23

Si avvisa che in data 05-05-2023, alle ore 14:30 precise presso il Politecnico di Milano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Aula Saleri sesto piano (Edificio 14 - La Nave), nell’ambito delle attività del MOX con il patrocinio di GRASPA https://graspa.org si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Veronica Berrocal, University of California, Irvine Titolo: Bayesian non-stationary spatial modeling via domain partitioning, with application to soil organic carbon Abstract: Soil organic carbon (SOC) or the carbon found in soil’s organic matter is an important component in the Earth’s carbon cycle and can help mitigate the negative consequences of climate change. Because of its broad relevance to climate and agriculture, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recommended that the spatial distribution of SOC be carefully monitored. Due to time and cost constraints, spatially-referenced measurements of SOC or “stocks”, e.g. the amount of SOC in a volume, are available only at limited locations. In this talk I will present two Bayesian non-stationary statistical models for SOC with the goal of understanding spatial variability and dependence in SOC for sampling and spatial prediction of SOC. Both approaches model SOC by assuming that the process is globally non-stationary but locally stationary with regions of stationarity identified using different strategies. In one approach, the regions are defined as partitions of the spatial domain where spatially-varying covariates are more homogeneous; in the other, the regions are defined as subsets of the spatial domain with varying strength of spatial dependence. I will show that inference and SOC predictions yielded by our models are valuable for sampling design and to decision makers, in that they can be used to better benchmark mechanistic models and identify targets for soil restoration projects.

05 May '23

Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following seminar, which will be held in person and online streaming: Speaker: Nicola Turchi (Università di Milano-Bicocca) Title: Comparing the min-max of two Gaussian random matrices (Abstract below) Date and Time: Thursday May 11, 14:00-15:00 (Rome time zone). Place: Aula 24, Dip. di Scienze Statistiche, Sapienza Università di Roma, Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5, 00185 Roma. link: https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/94248808208?pwd=NWtwcFRtZFMrU0s1c2VPbjU0NWhPQT09 <https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/94248808208?pwd=NWtwcFRtZFMrU0s1c2VPbjU0NWhPQT09> ID riunione: 942 4880 8208 Passcode: 337504 Best regards, Anna Paola Todino ————————— Abstract: We compute quantitative bounds for measuring the discrepancy between the distribution of two min-max statistics involving either pairs of Gaussian random matrices, or one Gaussian and one Gaussian-subordinated random matrix. In the fully Gaussian setup, our approach allows us to recover quantitative versions of well-known inequalities by Gordon, thus generalising the quantitative version of the Sudakov-Fernique inequality deduced by Chatterjee. On the other hand, the Gaussian-subordinated case yields generalizations of estimates obtained in the framework of the CCK theory. As applications, we establish comparison bounds for order statistics of random vectors and fourth moment bounds for matrices of multiple stochastic Wiener-Itô integrals. Based on a joint work with G. Peccati. ——————————————————— Anna Paola Todino Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche Sapienza Università di Roma

(PMS)^2 talk: J.-D. Deuschel [4 May] at UniMIB
by Maurizia Rossi 03 May '23

03 May '23

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the following *hybrid* - that is, in person with online streaming - talk: Speaker: *Jean-Dominique Deuschel* (TU Berlin) *Title: *An isomorphism theorem for Ginzburg-Landau interface models and scaling limits. (See Abstract below.) *Date and Time:* Thursday May 4, 16:30-17:30 (Rome time zone). Place: *Aula 3014, Dip. di Matematica e Applicazioni, Univ. di Milano-Bicocca*, Via R. Cozzi 55, Milano. *Webex link:* https://unimib.webex.com/unimib-it/j.php?MTID=mc07da73e64ea2eb0da78975bc808… *Meeting number:* 2741 491 0178*Password: *HPxNQASR579 (47967277 for phones) %%%%%%%%%% *Abstract: *We introduce a natural measure on bi-infinite random walk trajectories evolving in a time-dependent environment driven by the Langevin dynamics associated with a gradient Gibbs measure with convex potential. We derive an identity relating the occupation times of the Poissonian cloud induced by this measure to the square of the corresponding gradient field, which - generically - is not Gaussian. In the quadratic case, we recover a well-known generalization of the second Ray-Knight theorem. We further determine the scaling limits of the various objects involved in dimension 3, which are seen to exhibit homogenization. In particular, we prove that the renormalized square of the gradient field converges under appropriate rescaling to the Wick-ordered square of a Gaussian free field on R^3 with suitable diffusion matrix, thus extending a celebrated result of Naddaf and Spencer regarding the scaling limit of the field itself.

Buongiorno, ricevo e con piacere inoltro. Saluti Alessandra ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Serena Cenatiempo <serena.cenatiempo(a)gssi.it> Date: Wed, 3 May 2023 at 08:01 Subject: GSSI Math Colloquium by Daniel Ueltschi / May 4th at 14.00 To: Alessia Nota <alessia.nota(a)univaq.it> Dear all of the SMAQ group, this is to announce that Daniel Ueltschi will give a Colloquium talk at GSSI on *Loop models and the universal distribution of the loop lengths* this Thursday*, May 4th, 2023 at 14.00 in the **GSSI Auditorium (please NOTICE the unusual time).* The talk will be also streamed online at the link below: https://zoom.us/j/97365002731?pwd=cmR1Y0RIV3lxTlJ5QWVJUlN0akNvQT09 ID riunione: 973 6500 2731 Passcode: MATHatGSSI Abstract. I will review several models that consist of one-dimensional loops living in the three-dimensional space. These models describe bosonic systems, and classical or quantum spin systems. Their common feature is that the joint distribution of their loop lengths has universal behaviour: It is always a Poisson-Dirichlet distribution. Most of this theory is conjectural, but it is backed by numerical studies and some partial rigorous results.

PMS^2 hybrid talk: Davide Addona, Monday May 8 at 16.30.
by Margherita Zanella 02 May '23

02 May '23

Dear colleagues, we are happy to announce the hybrid - that is, in person with online streaming - talk of the (PMS)^2 series: Speaker: Davide Addona (Università di Parma) Title: Young equations in infinite dimension with singularities. Abstract: In this talk I will present some new results about Young differential equations in infinite dimension with “non smooth” initial datum. During the talk I will introduce the concept of Young integral for non smooth paths defined by Young in 1936 and an algebraic approach to integration with respect to non smooth paths due to Gubinelli in 2004, whose generalization allows to consider abstract Cauchy problems driven by an irregular path. At last, if I will have time, I will give an idea of the of the theory of rough paths started by Terry Lions in 1998 and developed by other authors in the last twenty years. Date and time: Monday May 8, 16:30-17:30 (Rome time zone). Place: Aula Seminari - III piano (third floor), Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci, 32 – 20133 Milano - Ed. 14 “Nave” Campus Bonardi.

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: Random currents and homologies on compact manifolds Mauro Mariani (National Research University Moscow) The seminar will take place on TUE, 9.5.2023 at 14:00 CET in Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa and streamed online at the link below. The organizers, A. Agazzi, G. Bet, A. Caraceni, F. Grotto, G. Zanco https://sites.google.com/unipi.it/spass -------------------------------------------- *Abstract: * We study the long time behavior of stochastic currents associated to diffusion processes on compact Riemannian manifolds. In the first part of the talk, sharp results about existence and tightness of stochastic currents will be discussed. In the second part, some problems related to random homologies (homology class associated to the paths of diffusion processes) will be addressed. In particular, we give a full geometric characterization of manifolds such that the associated random homology has a gaussian asymptotic. Some simpler related problems (Gallavotti-Cohen symmetry, relation with the Riemannian metric).

De Finetti Risk Seminar - May 3, 2023
by Emanuela Rosazza Gianin 29 Apr '23

29 Apr '23

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the "B. de Finetti Risk Seminars, Milano Lectures on the Mathematical Theory of Economics and Finance”, we are glad to invite you to participate at the following Lecture: Jean-Pierre Fouque University of California Santa Barbara Title: Reinforcement Learning Algorithm for Mixed Mean Field Control Games Abstract: We present a new combined Mean Field Control Game (MFCG) problem which can be interpreted as a competitive game between collaborating groups and its solution as a Nash equilibrium between the groups. Within each group the players coordinate their strategies. An example of such a situation is a modification of the classical trader's problem. Groups of traders maximize their wealth. They are faced with transaction cost for their own trades and a cost for their own terminal position. In addition they face a cost for the average holding within their group. The asset price is impacted by the trades of all agents. We propose a reinforcement learning algorithm to approximate the solution of such mixed Mean Field Control Game problems. We test the algorithm on benchmark linear-quadratic specifications for which we have analytic solutions. Joint work with A. Angiuli, N. Detering, Mathieu Laurière, and J. Lin.

Seminar Prof. F. Patras at Università degli Studi di Milano
by Stefania Ugolini 28 Apr '23

28 Apr '23

Professor F. Patras (Univ. Côte d’Azur, CNRS) will give a seminar on Thursday, May 04th at 15:00, in Aula Dottorato, at the Department of Mathematics "Federigo Enriques", Università degli Studi di Miano. Title: "Wick polynomials, from classical to free probability." Abstract: Wick polynomials are a central object in quantum physics and classical probability (where they encode for example "chaos decompositions" - they provide an orthonormal basis of the space of square integrable functions of a Gaussian random variable). We will discuss an algebraic formulation of Wick's constructions that allows to generalize them to a wide variety of contexts, featuring free probability - a probability theory closely linked to random matrices but that appears in various recent works, in different areas.

Whoever is interested is welcome: We are pleased to announce that on Wednesday May 3rd 2023 at 2:30 p.m. at DISIM- University of L'Aquila - classroom A.1.6 (Coppito 0) Via Vetoio SNC - L'Aquila and online at the link (Join Zoom Meeting): https://ritsumei-ac-jp.zoom.us/j/99895927770?pwd=ZFEwc2FwU0VmdUJaZiszaTFsUE… Meeting ID: 998 9592 7770 Passcode: 273749 Prof. Arturo Kohatsu-Higa Department of Mathematical Sciences Ritsumeikan University 1-1-1 Nojihigashi, Kusatsu, Shiga, 525-8577, Japan Will give the talk: Can we differentiate a stopping time? Abstract: In various situations, one may be interested in the concept of differentiation of random variables or processes with respect to some underlying parameters. We will discuss this possibility in the case of random variables related to stopping times. Rather than discussing general theory (which we may), we will present basic examples that give hints about the general results and exhibit the difficulties involved in the development of general results. ________________________________ Fabio Antonelli DISIM - Università di L'Aquila

International Conference in Venice - Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks - CALL FOR PAPERS
by Monica Billio 26 Apr '23

26 Apr '23

22nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 *Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks * Venice, Italy 21 –22 September 2023 * * *GRETA Associati* (Venice, Italy), *CRIF* (Bologna, Italy),*European Datawarehouse* (Frankfurt, Germany),*European Investment Bank *(Luxembourg),*European Investment Fund *(Luxembourg) and *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan, Italy) are partners in organasing a Conference to be held in Venice on September 21-22, 2023. The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 conference will bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in various areas of financial and socio-economic risk with the aim of creating a unique opportunity for participants to discuss research progress and policy as well as industry-relevant insights and directions for future research. The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 is the*twenty-second *in a series of events dedicated to various aspects of credit risk and organised under the auspices of: the *Department of Economics* and *VERA - Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies - of the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association*,***AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria* and *AIFIRM - Associazione Italiana Financial Industry Risk Managers*. Recent years have seen a series of crises (from health/pandemic to climate/energy) that have not only put a strain on global mechanisms previously seen as robust, but have exacerbated existing weaknesses and so increased vulnerability in new crisis situations. The social impact of the pandemic was partially mitigated by public interventions but social conditions then worsened with the soaring costs of energy, raw materials and inflation more broadly. Social and energy costs, which inevitably weigh on invidual countries and aggravate already delicate local situations (e.g., public debts), have led to growing geopolitical tensions, with global systemic consequences. The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 conference will be dedicated to Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks to discuss, evaluate and address the near- and medium-term macro-financial impact of persistent crises (“permacrisis”) that can affect the stability of financial as well as socio-economic systems. The organizers encourage submissions on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: * *Socio-economic Stability: *Future development of income (and wealth) inequality and social polarization; Risk, inequality and employment impacts of crises and policies; Gender and skilling issues will increase or help the transition?; * *Sovereign Risks: * Sovereign debt with low economic growth; Long term challenges for fiscal and monetary policies: green transformation, commodity prices, de-globalization and demographic trends; Inflation and exchange rate risks; Environmental and social inter-dependencies; social and environmental preferences and how these affect the stability and macroeconomic wellbeing of a given country; Challenges in measuring the ESG ratings of countries and thus of sovereign debt; * *Geopolitical Risks:* Global supply chain and de-globalization risks for finance; Do international energy price discrepancies pose risks for the competitiveness of EU firms’ and might this have implications for the real exchange rate to?; Risks stemming from accelerating deglobalisation; Cyber-risk vulnerabilities of banks and firms; * *Energy/Commodity Security:* Energy prices and financial performance of firms; Inefficiency of energy markets under scarcity; Transition costs under high energy and resource prices; Volatility of energy-related asset prices (both brown and green) and implications for medium and long term investments in energy production technologies, energy commodity assets and energy infrastructure; Implications of net zero policies for the prices of real estate assets, especially for homeowners and households; * *Long Run Investments and Portfolios:* Stability of asset market equilibria under low returns; Regulation (-demand) driven asset prices; Equilibrium asset price levels under structural transformation and high uncertainty; Net zero pledges and the possible trade-off between sustainability and returns; Engagement versus divesting. The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Helen Rey* (London Business School), *Elisa Giuliani *(University of Pisa) and *Moritz Schularick *(Sciences Po Paris & University of Bonn). The Conference will also include panel discussions on the major issues at stake with the views of researchers', practitioners' and policy makers. The SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE for the Conference consists of: *Moritz Schularick *(Sciences Po Paris & University of Bonn, Programme Chair) *Francesca Campolongo* (Joint Research Center, European Commission) *Rajna Gibson* (University of Geneva & Geneva Finance Research Institute) *Helmut Kraemer-Eis* (European Investment Fund) *Jan Pieter Krahnen *(Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Goethe University) *Steven Ongena *(University of Zurich, Swiss Finance Institute, KU Leuven, NTNU Business School & CEPR) *Loriana Pelizzon *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Goethe University) *Roberto Rigobon* (MIT Sloan School of Management) *Stephen Schaefer *(London Business School) *Marti Subrahmanyam *(NYU Stern Business School) *Christoph Trebesch* (Kiel Institute) CALL FOR PAPERS Those wishing to present a paper at the Conference should submit by *May 31, 2023 *to the address given below (preferably in electronic format).

Corso Paul JENKINS (University of Warwick)
by Matteo Ruggiero 24 Apr '23

24 Apr '23

Cari colleghi, nell’ambito del programma di Visiting Professors della Laurea Magistrale in Stochastics and Data Science dell’Università di Torino (programma completo alla pagina https://www.master-sds.unito.it/go/visiting) con piacere annunciamo il seguente corso: -------------------------------------- Paul JENKINS (University of Warwick) SIMULATION AND INFERENCE IN POPULATION GENETICS Population genetics provides a rich source of data. We now have the ability to sequence, cost-efficiently, the genomes of a large number of individuals from a species. Patterns of variation in DNA sequences offer a rich insight into biological and demographic processes: mutation, natural selection, past migration events, admixture, population structure, and so on. But such data are high-dimensional, noisy, and - because of shared ancestry - not independent, giving rise to some challenging statistical problems. In this course we will cover two important models for the analysis of genetic data - the coalescent, and the Wright-Fisher diffusion. We will discuss methods of simulation of data from these models, as well as how to perform inference for key biological and evolutionary parameters, using techniques such as MCMC. -------------------------------------- Il corso si svolgerà esclusivamente in presenza secondo il seguente calendario: - mar 2 Maggio, h.16-18 - mer 3 Maggio, h.16-18 - ven 5 Maggio, h.11.15-13.15 (Aula 3) - mar 9 Maggio, h.14-16 - mer 10 Maggio, h.16-18 - gio 11 Maggio, h.16-18 - mar 16 Maggio, h.14-16 - mer 17 Maggio, h.16-18 Sede dei corsi: Aula 11 (tranne il 5/5), Terzo piano - Corso Unione Sovietica 218/bis, 10134, Torino. Il corso è rivolto agli studenti della Laurea Magistrale ma la partecipazione è aperta a tutti gli interessati.

Seminario A. Stamm presso Politecnico di Milano
by Laura Maria Sangalli 24 Apr '23

24 Apr '23

Si avvisa che in data 26-04-2023, alle ore 14:30 precise presso il Politecnico di Milano, Dipartimento di Matematica (Edificio 14 - La Nave), in Aula Saleri (sesto piano), nell’ambito delle attività del MOX, si svolgerà il seguente seminario: Aymeric Stamm, Laboratoire de Mathématiques Jean Leray - UMR CNRS, Nantes, France Titolo: Clustering for rotation-valued functional data Abstract: This talk is motivated by the strong case study of monitoring gait for early detection of gait impairment in patients diagnosed with gait-affecting disorders. To this effect, we record the rotation of the hip over time. This leads to data with a great complexity that makes any kind of statistical analysis non-trivial. In effect, we collect functional data that evaluates on the Lie group of three-dimensional rotations which is a non-Euclidean space. In this work, we develop sound statistical methods to enable joint clustering and alignment of such functional data by borrowing ideas from the existing 𝑘-means alignment approach. In the process, we will describe in great length the R package fdacluster, which is an extension of the R package fdakma that provides a fast C++ based implementation of the k-mean alignment algorithm from Sangalli et al. (2010) as well as hierarchical clustering for functional data and tools that help choosing the number of clusters.

Seminario di Gérard Letac, Giovedì 27 Aprile, Sapienza Università di Roma
by Silvestri, Vittoria 23 Apr '23

23 Apr '23

Segnalo il seguente seminario, che si terrà Giovedì prossimo in Sapienza. Notare il giorno e l'aula inusuali. *Giovedì 27 Aprile, ore 14:00* Aula L, Dipartimento di Matematica, Sapienza Università di Roma *Speaker:* Gérard Letac (Paul Sabatier University - Toulouse III) *Title: *From the Matsumoto Yor observation to stationary measures for a discrete KdV model *Abstract: *Let F(x,y)=(u,v) from R2 into itself such that F∘F(x,y)=(x,y). The discrete Korteweg-de Vries model associated to F considers two dimensional vectors (x tn,ytn) indexed by (t,n)∈Z2 submitted to (xtn,ytn)=F(xt−1n,ytn−1). In the particular case F(x,y)=(y−1−(x+y)−1,(x+y)−1), by considerations on Brownian motion, Matsumoto-Yor in 1999 have found laws of independent random variables X,Y such that U,V defined by F(X,Y)=(U,V) are independent, obtaining stationary measures on the KdV model. In an extraordinary paper, Croydon and Sasada (2021) have generalized this result to the surprizing F(x ,y)=(yβxy+1αxy+1,xαxy+1βxy+1). The lecture will prove that if X,Y are independent and such that U,V=F(X,Y) are also independent, then the laws of X and Y are indeed the generalized Gaussian distributions discovered by Croydon and Sasada. This is joint work with Jacek Wesolowski (arXiv 2203.05404). *Nota*: Sul sito del dipartimento il seminario è, ad oggi, annunciato per le 17:00 (in Aula II), ma si terrà alle 14:00 (in Aula L), come annunciato in questa email. La pagina è in corso di aggiornamento. ******************************** Vittoria Silvestri Assistant Professor Department of Mathematics University "La Sapienza" Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5 00185 - Rome ********************************

Seminar@UNIBO - ROSANNA GRASSI
by Fabrizio Lillo 22 Apr '23

22 Apr '23

*Tuesday May 2nd, 2023 12:00* *– 13:00* Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Bologna Aula Seminario II, Piazza di Porta San Donato 5, Bologna Prof. Rosanna Grassi, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca *Title: Higher order assortativity for directed weighted networks and Markov chains* Abstract: Assortativity is a global indicator that provides meaningful insights about the network structure. In the classical definition, the assortativity is a global measure based on the Pearson correlation between the degrees of nodes. This definition can be extended into two different directions. On the one side, one can consider other quantitative attributes of the nodes different from the degree; on the other side, one can move from the adjacency of the nodes – which is the basis of Newman’s degree-degree assortativity – and propose more general ways to connect them. We provide a generalized concept of the assortativity measure for directed and weighted networks, moving beyond the adjacency relations in both directions. The proposed concept is formulated on a node attribute that is not necessarily the degree or strength, and nodes are connected through walks or paths. In this way, we totally extend the assortativity definitions provided in the literature until now. We provide an empirical application of these measures for the paradigmatic case of the trade network. Interestingly, this interpretation of the higher-order assortativity measure allows stating a natural bridge between complex networks and stochastic processes. In so doing, we are able to move from the information content of the higher order assortativity of a network to the dynamical properties of the underlying Markov chain. Specifically, the temporal dimension of the network and the regularities captured by the autocorrelation – which are hidden in the network structure – become clear in moving to the Markov chain theory. ---------------------------------------- Fabrizio Lillo Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Bologna Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa ITALY Personal website: fabriziolillo.wordpress.com University website: www.unibo.it/sitoweb/fabrizio.lillo <http://fabriziolillo.wordpress.com/> phone: +39 050509159

OWABC- Emtiyaz Khan - The Bayesian Learning Rule - April 27, 9.30am UK time
by Massimiliano Tamborrino 21 Apr '23

21 Apr '23

Dear all, The One World ABC Seminar series www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc<http://www.warwick.ac.uk/oneworldabc> is about to resume. Our next speaker will be Emtiyaz Khan<https://emtiyaz.github.io/> (RIKEN), who will talk about "The Bayesian Learning Rule" on Thursday, April 27, 9.30am UK time, with an abstract reported below. The talk will be hosted on MS Teams here<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_Yjk5MDQyYWMtZmI3Yy00…>. Title: The Bayesian Learning Rule. Abstract Humans and animals have a natural ability to autonomously learn and quickly adapt to their surroundings. How can we design machines that do the same? In this talk, I will present Bayesian principles to bridge such gaps between humans and machines. I will show that a wide-variety of machine-learning algorithms are instances of a single learning-rule derived from Bayesian principles. I will also briefly discuss the dual perspective yielding new mechanisms for knowledge transfer in learning machines. My hope is to convince the audience that Bayesian principles are indispensable for an AI that learns as efficiently as we do. References * The Bayesian Learning Rule, (Preprint) M.E. Khan, H.

He finished his PhD in machine learning from University of British Columbia in 2012. The main goal of Emti’s research is to understand the principles of learning from data and use them to develop algorithms that can learn like living beings. For more than 10 years, his work has focused on developing Bayesian methods that could lead to such fundamental principles. The approximate Bayesian inference team now continues to use these principles, as well as derive new ones, to solve real-world problems.

Seminar: Federico Ricci Tersenghi at Tor Vergata
by salvi 19 Apr '23

19 Apr '23

Dear all, On Wednesday, April 26th, at 14h00 in Aula 2001 (change of usual room! Aula 2001 is behind Aula Dal Passo) at Roma Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/about.php) will host Federico Ricci Tersenghi (La Sapienza) with the seminar _ _ _"Phase transitions and algorithmic thresholds for optimization and inference problems on sparse random graphs__"_ _ _ Abstract: Focusing on some fundamental constraint satisfaction problems defined on sparse random graphs (e.g. random k-sat, random q-coloring) I will start summarizing the rich phase diagram of the solution space which has been derived using powerful techniques from statistical mechanics of disordered systems. I will then discuss the implications of some of these phase transitions for the behaviour of smart algorithms searching for solutions. In the second part, I will consider the problem of inferring a signal from noisy and/or incomplete data within the Bayesian framework called the teacher-student scenario. I will discuss the corresponding phase diagrams and how phase transitions may affect the performances of inference algorithms based on message-passing and Monte Carlo sampling.
