SEMINARS IN STATISTICS @ COLLEGIO CARLO ALBERTO
<https://www.carloalberto.org/events/category/seminars/seminars-in-statistic…>
Venerdi 27 Ottobre 2023, alle ore 12.00, presso il Collegio Carlo Alberto,
in Piazza Arbarello 8, Torino, si terrà il seguente seminario:
------------------------------------------------
Speaker: *Patrick Rebeschini* (Oxford University, UK)
Title: *Algorithmic Stability, Generalization, and Privacy for Diffusion
Models*
Abstract:
The acclaimed success of diffusion models sparks a need to formulate
theoretical guarantees to explain the generalization capability of such
distribution learning methods, despite the high-dimensional nature of the
training data and sampling procedures being utilized. Prior efforts
accounting for the empirical nature of score matching mechanisms typically
hinge on uniform learning strategies, which provide error bounds that are
algorithm-agnostic and often yield results that depend exponentially badly
on the problem dimension. In this work, we move away from uniform learning
approaches and develop algorithm-dependent generalization error bounds
based on the framework of algorithmic stability from supervised learning.
We introduce the notion of 'score stability’, which encapsulates the score
learning process's susceptibility to perturbations in the training data. We
show that score-stable algorithms generalize well and generate
differentially-private samples. To showcase the applicability of our
framework, we consider score functions learned via canonical gradient-based
optimization procedures, and establish generalization bounds that display a
linear dependence on the dimension. Our bounds are stated with respect to
the reverse KL divergence and the maximum mean discrepancy, notions of
error commonly used in the analysis and training of diffusion models.
(Joint work with Tyler Farghly, George Deligiannidis, and Arnaud Doucet)

Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly
organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi (abstract below):
*Well-posedness and stationary states for a crowded active Brownian system
with size-exclusion*
by *Simon Michaël Schulz* (Scuola Normale Superiore)
The seminar will take place on *TUE, 24.10.2023* at *14:00 CET *in Aula
Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, University of Pisa and streamed
online at the link below.

-------------------------------------------
Abstract: We prove the existence of solutions to a non-linear, non-local,
degenerate equation which was previously derived as the formal hydrodynamic
limit of an active Brownian particle system, where the particles are
endowed with a position and an orientation. This equation incorporates
diffusion in both the spatial and angular coordinates, as well as a
non-linear non-local drift term, which depends on the angle-independent
density. The spatial diffusion is non-linear degenerate and also comprises
diffusion of the angle-independent density, which one may interpret as
cross-diffusion with infinitely many species. Our proof relies on
interpreting the equation as the perturbation of a gradient flow in a
Wasserstein-type space. It generalizes the boundedness-by-entropy method to
this setting and makes use of a gain of integrability due to the angular
diffusion. We also prove uniqueness in the particular case where the
non-local drift term is null, and provide existence and uniqueness results
for stationary equilibrium solutions. This is joint work with Martin
Burger.
Gentili colleghe/i,
inoltro un invito a manifestare interesse per posizioni da assegnista di ricerca che verranno bandite a breve dall’Università Bocconi.

** Call for expression of interest **
The Bocconi Institute for Data Science and Analytics (BIDSA) will soon open two post-doctoral positions on Bayesian Nonparametrics, under the supervision of Antonio Lijoi and Igor Pruenster. The start date should ideally be in early 2024 but there is some space for flexibility. Successful applicants will be based at the BayesLab (https://bayeslab.unibocconi.eu), a BIDSA research unit focusing on Bayesian learning.
Potentially interested candidates are strongly encouraged to contact Antonio Lijoi (antonio.lijoi(a)unibocconi.it) or Igor Pruenster (igor(a)unibocconi.it) for further details, possibly before November 1, 2023.
Dear all,
we are pleased to invite you to the two seminars organised by the
Department of Statistical Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, which can
be followed via Zoom.
*Location:* Room n.24, 4th floor, Edificio CU002 (Scienze Statistiche)
*Zoom: *
https://uniroma1.zoom.us/j/84380852385?pwd=RDBrcVdvelRMM0VmczlXYWgwL2pPZz09
*Time:* *Monday 23th of October, at 10.30*
*Speaker: *Josè Luis Da Silva (University of Madeira - Portugal)
*Title:* A Biorthogonal Approach to Infinite Dimensional Fractional Poisson
Measures
*Abstract*: We use a biorthogonal approach to the analysis of the infinite
dimensional fractional Poisson measure. The complex Hilbert space w.r.t.
these measures are described in terms of a proper system of generalized
Appell polynomials. The kernels of the monomials may be expressed in terms
of the Stirling operators of the first and second kind as well as the
falling factorials in infinite dimensions. Associated to this system of
Appell polynomials is the dual Appell system which is suitable to describe
generalised functions. We then construct and characterize test and
generalised functions in terms of integral transform as entire functions.
*Time:* *Tuesday 24th of October, at 14.30*
*Speaker: *Tobias Kuna (University of L'Aquila)
*Title:* An Intrinsic Characterization of Moment Functionals in the Compact
Case
*Abstract:*
We discuss characterizations of linear functionals $L$ on an unital
commutative real algebra $A$ which can be represented as integral w.r.t. a
compactly supported Radon measure on the character space of $A$. We give a
characterization by the following three types of conditions: bounds on the
growth of $(L(a^n))_n$, non-negativity of $L$ on Archimedean quadratic
models, and continuity of $L$ w.r.t. submultiplicative seminorms on $A$. We
will relate each of these conditions to a different technique solving this
instance of the moment problem. Surprisingly, we can also provide an exact
characterization of the compact support of the representing Radon measure
purely in terms of $L$.
This is a joint work arXiv:2204.05630 with Maria Infusino, Salma Kuhlmann
and Patrick Michalski.
Best regards.
