Cari colleghi,
Ho il piacere di segnalare il seguente seminario organizzato dal
Dipartimento MEMOTEF, Università degli Studi di Roma La Sapienza.
*Data:* Venerdì 14 Giugno, ore 16.00-17.00
*Relatore: *Prof. William Fisher Rosenberger, Distinguished Professor in
Mathematical Statistics @ George Mason University, USA
*Titolo:* *Casual** Inference for Clinical *Trails**: A Spellchecker’s
Guide to Randomization Tests in Complex Settings
*Abstract:* Sir Austin Bradford Hill, the developer of the first randomized
clinical trial, was a proponent of simplicity in statistical analysis, and
strongly emphasized careful study design as the critical component of all
medical studies. While he didn’t mention randomization tests in his 1937
book, I believe he would have liked their simplicity and interpretability.
Any inference procedure which assumes random sampling from a population
ignores Fisherian principles regarding the analysis of designed
experiments. And clinical trials are the quintessential designed
experiment. While we hear quite often about preservation of type I error
rates and, more recently, about causal inference, these are natural
elements of a randomization test. We discuss these issues and demonstrate
that randomization tests can be used for more complex settings, such as
multiple (>2) treatment comparisons, analyses with missing outcome data,
and subgroup analyses. It is interesting to note that the only cohort of
statisticians NOT excited about randomization tests in this age of causal
inference are the designers and conductors of randomized clinical trials! I
will conclude with a few historical notes about Fisher and de Finetti.

=============
Description
=============
Established in 2007, the SUM conferences are currently bi-annual events which aim to gather researchers with a common interest in managing and analyzing imperfect information from a wide range of fields, such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Databases, Information Retrieval and Data Mining, the Semantic Web and Risk Analysis, and with the aim of fostering collaboration and cross-fertilization of ideas from the different communities. An originality of the SUM conferences is their care for dedicating a large space of their program to tutorials covering a wide range of topics related to uncertainty management. Each tutorial provides a survey of one of the research areas in the scope of the conference.
=====================
Topics of Interest
=====================
We solicit papers on the management of large amounts of complex kinds of uncertain, incomplete, or inconsistent information. We are particularly interested in papers that focus on bridging gaps, for instance between different communities, between numerical and symbolic approaches, or between theory and practice. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
Imperfect information in databases
- Methods for modeling, indexing, and querying uncertain databases
- Top-k queries, skyline query processing, and ranking
- Approximate, fuzzy query processing
- Uncertainty in data integration and exchange
- Uncertainty and imprecision in geographic information systems
- Probabilistic databases and possibilistic databases?
- Data provenance and trust
- Data summarization
- Very large datasets
Imperfect information in information retrieval and semantic web applications
- Approximate schema and ontology matching
- Uncertainty in description logics and logic programming
- Learning to rank, personalization, and user preferences
- Probabilistic language models
- Combining vector-space models with symbolic representations
- Inductive reasoning for the semantic web
Imperfect information in artificial intelligence
- Statistical relational learning, graphical models, probabilistic inference
Argumentation, defeasible reasoning, belief revision
- Weighted logics for managing uncertainty
- Reasoning with imprecise probability, Dempster-Shafer theory, possibility theory
- Approximate reasoning, similarity-based reasoning, analogical reasoning
- Planning under uncertainty, reasoning about actions, spatial and temporal reasoning
- Incomplete preference specifications
- Learning from data
Risk analysis
- Aleatory vs. epistemic uncertainty
- Uncertainty elicitation methods
- Uncertainty propagation methods
- Decision analysis methods
- Tools for synthesizing results
========================
Submission Guidelines
========================
SUM 2024 solicits original papers in the following three categories:
- Long papers (at most 14 pages, references excluded): technical papers reporting original research or survey papers
- Short papers (between 4 and 7 pages, references excluded): papers reporting promising work-in-progress, system descriptions, position papers on controversial issues, or survey papers providing a synthesis of some current research trends
- Extended abstracts (2 pages) of recently published work in a relevant journal or top-tier conference
All SUM submissions must be formatted according to the LNCS/LNAI guidelines:https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-pro…
Papers should be submitted via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sum2024
=============
Publication
=============
Accepted long (at most 14 pages) and short papers (2-7 pages) will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series. Authors of an accepted long or short paper will be expected to sign copyright release forms, and one author is expected to give a presentation at the conference. Authors of accepted abstracts (2 pages) will be expected to present their work during the conference, but the extended abstracts will not be published in the LNCS/LNAI proceedings (they will be made available in a separate booklet).

presso l'Area della Ricerca 1 del CNR, in sala A, il Dr. Andrea Brancaccio, CNR-IMATI, terrà un seminario dal titolo
Adaptive Assessment of Knowledge and Planning Using Knowledge Space Theory
Sunto: Adaptive individual assessment utilizes algorithms that adjust to each individual's ability based on their responses. This presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of the development and implementation of adaptive assessments using Knowledge Space Theory. It will also explore the theoretical foundations underlying this approach, highlighting its benefits and applications in educational and performance-based contexts. In these settings, this approach develops tools that minimize the number of questions asked while maximizing the information gathered about an individual's knowledge, competencies, abilities, and performance.

Dear all,
We are happy to announce that our next seminar in statistics and
econometrics at DEC, Ca' Foscari University, is quickly approaching:
Speaker: Mark Steel (University of Warwick)
Title: "Model Uncertainty in Latent Gaussian Models with Univariate Link
Function (joint work with Gregor Zens)"
Date and time: Thursday the 13th June, 12.15 GMT+2
Place: Meeting Room1, San Giobbe Campus, Department of Economics (DEC),
Venice
Abstract: We consider a class of latent Gaussian models with a univariate
link function (ULLGMs). These are based on standard likelihood
specifications (such as Poisson, Binomial, Bernoulli, Erlang, etc.) but
incorporate a latent normal linear regression framework on a transformation
of a key scalar parameter. We allow for model uncertainty regarding the
covariates included in the regression. The ULLGM class typically
accommodates extra dispersion in the data and has clear advantages for
deriving theoretical properties and designing computational procedures. We
formally characterize posterior existence under a convenient and popular
improper prior and propose an efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm
for Bayesian model averaging in ULLGMs. Simulation results suggest that the
framework provides accurate results that are robust to some degree of
misspecification. The methodology is successfully applied to measles
vaccination coverage data from Ethiopia and to bilateral migration flow
data between OECD countries.
The talk will be streamed on Zoom at this link

Si segnala il seguente seminario a tutti gli interessati.
Giovedì 5 Giugno 2024, ore 15.
Aula Seminari - III Piano, Dipartimento di Matematica, Politecnico di Milano.
Speaker: Martin Kolodziejczyk, Politecnico di Milano
Title: McKean-Vlasov SPDEs
Abstract:
We consider McKean-Vlasov Stochastic Partial Differential Equations with additive noise. We will focus on their well-posedness and long-time behaviour; showing that, under some assumptions on the spatial regularity of the noise, these SPDEs are well-posed and the semigroup resulting from them is strong Feller and irreducible.
This is based on joint work with L. Angeli, J. Barrè and M. Ottobre.
