Eindhoven SPOR Seminar

Pieter Kleer (TiSEM)  Uniform Sampling of Graphs with given Degree Intervals ABSTRACT: Efficiently sampling graphs with given degree constraints is an important open problem, both in theory and practice. In this talk, I will consider the problem of sampling graphs with given degree intervals. The goal is to efficiently generate…

Debankur Mukherjee (GT) Many-server asymptotics for Join-the-Shortest Queue policy ABSTRACT: The Join-the-Shortest Queue (JSQ) policy is a classical benchmark for the performance of many-server queueing systems due to its strong optimality properties. While the exact analysis of the JSQ policy, even under Markovian assumption on the service requirements, is an…

Eindhoven SPOR Seminar

MF 13 (5th floor, MetaForum Building, TU/e)

Sjoerd Dirksen (UU) The Separation Capacity of Random Neural Networks ABSTRACT: Neural networks with random weights appear in a variety of machine learning applications, most prominently as the initialization of many deep learning algorithms and as a computationally cheap alternative to fully learned neural networks. The goal of this talk…

Luca Avena (LEI) - A randomized k-centrality measure & applications to networks node immunization Tuesday, the 6th of December, 15:45 – 16:45, MetaForum MF11/12   ABSTRACT: Have you ever thought how you can “immunize" a network from an attack of a viral agent? This is a hot topic in network…

Workshop: “Recent Developments in Stochastic Duality”

Eurandom Metaforum, 4th floor, Eindhoven, Netherlands

Summary Duality is a key technique in Markov process theory, with applications in interacting particle systems, non-equilibrium statistical physics, and stochastic population dynamics. In recent years several new developments in the theory of duality have taken place, with applications in the above three areas. Examples include the Lie-algebraic approach to…

YES Causal Inference

Eurandom Metaforum, 4th floor, Eindhoven, Netherlands

Summary Causal inference is at the center of research. Perhaps because of its central position in so many sciences, multiple perspectives have arisen from which causal inference is studied. Two popular ones are the potential outcomes framework and the graphical approach. In this workshop, researchers from many domains (mathematics, (bio)statistics,…

YEP XVIII: “Spectra of random graphs and related combinatorial problems”

Eurandom Metaforum, 4th floor, Eindhoven, Netherlands

Summary Since the first workshop in 2004, the Young European Probabilists (YEP) series has spawned 17  highly successful editions on a wide range of topics. The theme of its 18th edition, will be spectra of random graphs, random matrices and related combinatorial problems. The study of matrices with random entries…
