SPASS Seminar: Silvia Morlacchi
by Francesco Grotto 13 May '23

13 May '23

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following SPASS seminar, jointly organized by UniPi, SNS, UniFi and UniSi: *Effect of Transport Noise on Kelvin–Helmholtz Instability* Silvia Morlacchi (Scuola Normale Superiore) The seminar will take place on TUE, 16.5.2023 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 numerically investigate the effect of transport noise on the Kelvin- Helmholtz instability at the interface of two 2D fluids in a shear flow, to test if the transport noise acts as a stabilizing factor.We exploit the point vortex method as a numerical discretization of the fluid equation of motion. We compare the results of the simulations in three different cases: inviscid and viscous fluid without transport noise, and inviscid fluid perturbed by transport noise. We find that when the transport noise is modeled by a large number of low-intensity point vortices, a delay in the temporal onset of the instability is present in the non viscous case, which resembles what happens in the viscous case.Based on joint work with Franco Flandoli and Andrea Papini.*

Seminar: Daniele Calandriello at Tor Vergata
by Michele Salvi 12 May '23

12 May '23

Dear all, On Wednesday, May 17th, at 12h00 in Aula 2001 (change of usual time and place! Aula 2001 is on the top floor of the Math Department, close to the copy shop) at Roma Tor Vergata, RoMaDS (https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/about.php) will host Daniele Calandriello (Google Deep Mind, Paris) with the seminar “Efficient exploration in stochastic environments" Abstract: Machine learning has seen an explosive growth recently, driven mostly by breakthroughs in classification and generative models. However ML applications in decision making settings are much more limited, where data collection is much higher and ML models must be sufficiently robust and accurate to deal with unforeseen consequences and avoid worst case scenarios. In this talk we will introduce some classical results for online decision making in stochastic linear spaces, with applications to active learning, bandit/bayesian optimization and deep learning. Starting from a rigorous analysis of the noise propagation we can formulate provably robust (i.e. no-regret) algorithms, and then create variants that can scale to modern ML data regimes without sacrificing safety. And if time suffice, we will highlight how these approaches inspired a new wave of exploration techniques to enable reinforcement learning agents to solve extremely long horizon tasks. We encourage in-person partecipation. Should you be unable to come, there will be a Teams link on our webpage published before the start of the talk. The seminar is part of the Excellence Project MatMod@TOV. Next appointment will be 24.05.2023 - Rongfeng Sun (NUS, Singapore), see the details on next events at https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~rds/events.php.

Dear colleagues, the Berlin-Oxford International Research Training Group (IRTG) 2544 “Stochastic Analysis in Interaction” offers 8 PhD positions (75% TVL E 13, about 1900 EUR p.m. after taxes, social security...) for 3 years starting October 1st, 2023, or soon thereafter. Funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), the IRTG is a joint research initiative of the stochastic analysis groups of FU, HU, TU and WIAS Berlin with its counterpart at the University of Oxford. The advertised positions will be based in Berlin and will offer ample opportunities to interact also with members of the Oxford team, most notably in a 6-months exchange. Embedded in a truly international environment, the IRTG students will get excellent research training in a structured programme focussing on challenges at the mathematical foundations of Stochastic Analysis as well as on challenges arising from its various applications, e.g., in physics, biology, finance or data science. The combined expertise from the Berlin and Oxford groups will provide a significant breadth in depth and fertile ground for our students' ambitious research ideas. Successful candidates will have an MSc degree (or equivalent) in Mathematics (or a closely related field), strong knowledge of stochastic analysis, and feel eager to engage in the exchange of ideas with the teams in both Berlin and Oxford. Deadline for applications is May 26, 2023. Please see https://www.jobs.tu-berlin.de/stellenausschreibungen/165412?language=en for the official job ad and for instructions how to apply.

Next OWPS on May 24th: Justin Salez (Université Paris-Dauphine & PSL)
by Alberto Chiarini 12 May '23

12 May '23

OWPS's next session will be on Wednesday the 24th of May from 15:00 to 17:00 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). Our next speaker is: Justin Salez (Université Paris-Dauphine & PSL) Title, abstract and the zoom link are below the signature and can be found on the website https://www.owprobability.org/one-world-probability-seminar. If you are interested in the project, we kindly ask you to share this announcement within your community. With best wishes, Alberto Chiarini (Padua) and Adrián González Casanova (Berkeley and México) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk : Justin Salez (Université Paris-Dauphine & PSL) Title: A new approach to the cutoff phenomenon Abstract: The cutoff phenomenon is an abrupt transition from out of equilibrium to equilibrium undergone by certain Markov processes in the limit where the size of the state space tends to infinity. Discovered forty years ago in the context of card shuffling, it has since then been observed in a variety of examples, from random walks on random graphs to high-temperature spin glasses. Nevertheless, a general theory is still missing, and identifying the precise mechanisms that underlie this phase transition remains one of the biggest challenges in the quantitative analysis of finite Markov chains. In the first part of the lecture, I will try to provide a self-contained introduction to this fascinating question. In the second part, I will describe a new approach based on entropy and curvature, which has recently led to a systematic proof of cutoff for a relatively broad class of chains. Join Zoom Meeting https://unipd.zoom.us/j/84651983262?pwd=N083WWs3RkIyZ0hHckFtbkEzY0xNZz09 Meeting ID: 846 5198 3262 Passcode: 009403 If you are having trouble with zoom, or if the capacity of the zoom room gets exceeded, you can also access to the Youtube live stream at the channel of the seminar: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiLiEQGTp6bZEhuHDM-WNWQ
