Entropy, Irreversibility, DNA sequences… and Fake Faces

Abstract: Entropy and irreversibility, two fundamental concepts underlying physical processes, and now also at the core of digital processes for simulation and evolution of artificial models. We will ...

From black forests to interpretable trees: an overview and recent development on Optimal classification tree

Abstract: In recent years there has been a growing attention to machine learning models which are able to give explanatory insights on the decisions made by the algorithm. Thanks to their interpretabi...

Entropy and mixing time of non-local Markov chains

Abstract: We discuss the convergence to the stationary distribution for non-local Markov chains on general spin systems on arbitrary graphs. We show that the relative entropy functional of the corresp...

Meeting, Coalescence and Consensus on random directed graphs.

Abstract: We consider Markovian dynamics on a typical realization of the so-called Directed Configuration Model (DCM), which is a random directed graph with prescribed in- and out-degrees. In this ran...

Massless phases for the Villain model in d>=3

Abstract: The XY and the Villain models are models which exhibit the celebrated Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transitions in two dimensions. The spin wave conjecture, originally proposed by Dyson and by M...

Universality Conjectures For Activated Random Walk

Abstract: Activated Random Walk is a particle system displaying avalanches on all scales. How universal are these avalanches? I’ll narrate five interlocking conjectures aimed at different aspects of...

Gluing for $\phi^4_3$ on cylinders

Abstract: The $\phi^4_3$ model is a 3-dimensional non-Gaussian Euclidean QFT. Showing existence of such a measure was one of the highlights of the constructive QFT programme in the '70s. In this talk ...

From the Matsumoto Yor observation to stationary measures for a discrete KdV model

Abstract: From the Matsumoto Yor observation to stationary measures for a discrete KdV model Let F(x,y)=(u,v) from R2 into itself such that F∘F(x,y)=(x,y). The discrete Korteweg-de Vries model associa...

Sistemi di marce aleatorie cicliche interagenti

Abstract: Consideriamo un sistema di marce aleatorie cicliche (``random walk loop soup") in presenza di autointerazioni e di interazioni mutuali. Tale modello dipende da un parametro, la temperatura i...

HIDDEN TEMPERATURE IN THE KIPNIS-MARCHIORO-PRESUTTI MODEL

Abstract: Stationary non equilibrium states (SNS) have a rich and complex structure. The large deviations rate functionals for the empirical measure of a few one dimensional SNS of stochastic interact...

Spectral gap of the symmetric inclusion process.

Abstract: In this talk, we consider the symmetric inclusion process on a general finite graph. Our main result establishes universal upper and lower bounds for the spectral gap of this interacting par...
