We are happy to announce that Torino University and Politecnico from June 19 to June 22, 2017 will host the *First Italian National Meeting on Probability and Mathematical Statistics. * Scientific Committee: Claudia Ceci, Franco Fagnola, Franco Flandoli, Paolo Dai Pra, Antonio Lijoi,Franco Pellerey and Laura Sacerdote Scope of the meeting is the scientific exchange between Italian mathematicians working on the subject in Italy or abroad. We also welcome talks from foreign researchers working in Italy. The participation is open to any interested scientist who would like to partecipate. The conference will include lectures of some "seniors" between us, but the focus will be mainly on the work of new generations also through some plenary lectures. We also plan to reserve a space to discuss the future of our researches in Italy. We decide to call this meeting "First meeting" because it is the first conference of this type, since 1998 and we hope it will become a habit in our community. We plan to prepare a web page for the meeting and we will give more details on that page. *Now, please, save the date on your agenda!* We hope in your collaboration for the success on the initiative. Claudia Ceci, Franco Fagnola, Franco Flandoli, Paolo Dai Pra, Antonio Lijoi,Franco Pellerey, Laura Sacerdote ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Siamo lieti di annunciare che l'Universita' e il Politecnico di Torino ospiteranno, dal 19 al 22 Giugno 2017 *Il Primo Convegno Nazionale su Probabilità e Statistica Matematica* Comitato Scientifico: Claudia Ceci, Franco Fagnola, Franco Flandoli, Paolo Dai Pra, Antonio Lijoi,Franco Pellerey e Laura Sacerdote Scopo del Convegno e' favorire lo scambio scientifico tra matematici italiani che lavorino su questi temi, in Italia o all'estero. Saremo anche lieti di avere contributi da ricercatori stranieri che lavorino in Italia. La partecipazione e' aperta a ogni scienziato interessato. Il Convegno comprendera' conferenze di alcuni tra i più "senoir" tra di noi ma il fuoco sara' diretto principalmente verso il lavoro delle nuove generazioni, anche con alcune conferenze plenarie. Pensiamo di riservare anche spazio a una discussione sul futuro delle nostre ricerche in Italia. Abbiamo pensato di chiamare questa conferenza "Prima Conferenza" perche' e' la prima di questo tipo dal 1998 e speriamo che possa divenire un'abitudine per la nostra comunita'. Pensiamo di preparare una pagina web del convegno su cui daremo piu' dettagli. *Ora, per favore, segnatevi la data sulla vostra agenda!* Contiamo sulla vostra collaborazione per il successo dell'iniziativa.

2 PhD student positions in Machine Learning for Geosciences
by Luca Martino 21 May '16

21 May '16

We are searching for outstanding candidates with a strong interest in machine learning and geosciences to cover 2 PhD student positions to join the Image and Signal Processing (ISP) group in the *Universitat de Valencia, Spain,* http://isp.uv.es. The positions are funded by an ERC Consolidator Grant 2015-2020 entitled "Statistical Learning for Earth Observation Data Analysis" (SEDAL), http://sedalproject.wordpress.com, under the direction of* Prof. Gustau Camps-Valls*. More info about the openings in http://isp.uv.es/sedal.pdf *** The project and job description We aim to develop the next generation of statistical inference methods to analyze Earth Observation (EO) data. Machine learning models have helped to monitor land, oceans, and atmosphere through the analysis and estimation of climate and biophysical parameters. Current approaches, however, cannot deal efficiently with the particular characteristics of remote sensing data. We will develop advanced regression (retrieval, model inversion) methods to improve efficiency, prediction accuracy and uncertainties, encode physical knowledge about the problem, attain self-explanatory models, learn graphical causal models to explain the complex interactions between essential climate variables and observations, and discover hidden essential drivers and confounding factors in Climate/Geo Sciences. Highly motivated researchers with a degree/PhD in computer science, statistics, machine learning, electrical engineering, physics, or mathematics are encouraged to apply. All candidates should have a solid understanding and knowledge of machine learning and statistics, and being particularly interested in remote sensing and geoscience problems. The theses will be devoted to: *(PhD1) regression, model inversion and time series analysis, and* *(PhD2) structure learning, graphical models and causal inference*. In both cases, good programming skills (Matlab/Python/R/C++), a critical and organized sense for data analysis, as well as maturity and commitment, strong communication, presentation and writing skills are a big plus. *** Application details - *Deadline: Send your application no later than **June 1st 2016.* - How? Send me: 2-pages CV, motivation letter, 3 best papers, 3 recommendation letters or contacts - When? Preferred starting dates: September 2016 - How long? 3 years contract - How much? Salary according to UV scales including social security, health insurance benefits, and travel money - Where? Valencia, Spain, Mediterranean city, nice weather, hike and beach. Excellent cost-of-living index = 55 *** Contact - Before applying: Informal inquiries may be addressed to Prof. Dr. Gustau Camps-Valls, gustau.camps(a)uv.es - Ready to apply? Send your dossier in one single PDF to gustau.camps(a)uv.es, subject: SEDAL application

Colloquium di Arnaud Guillin a Roma Tre, mercoledi 25 maggio alle 16
by Pietro Caputo 20 May '16

COLLOQUIUM DI MATEMATICA ROMA TRE Prof. Arnaud Guillin Universite' Blaise Pascal Titolo: When Lyapunov meets Poincare' and (log-) Sobolev Mercoledi' 25 Maggio 2016 ORE 16:00 Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica Universita' degli Studi Roma Tre Aula F, primo piano, edificio Aule - Largo San Leonardo Murialdo,1 Abstract: Functional inequalities such as Poincare' or log-Sobolev inequalities have proved to be crucial in various fields, enabling to prove concentration of measure, speed of convergence to equilibrium, contractivity properties... and so much more, for example linked to curvature dimension condition. In probability, completely different techniques based on return time to nice set established via Lyapunov conditions and coupling enable to establish convergence to equilibrium. We will present here both approach, and their fundamental properties, and will finally link them in a (nice ? and) novel way.
