[Forum SIS] Seminario Marianna Pensky a Tor Vergata

[Alessia Caponera]

Dear all,

I would like to announce the following talk that will be held on Friday July 12th 2019, at 4:30 PM, in Aula D’Antoni (1101) of the Department of Mathematics, University of Rome Tor Vergata.

Speaker: Marianna Pensky (University of Central Florida) 

Title: Estimation and Clustering in Popularity Adjusted Stochastic Block Model 

Abstract: Stochastic networks in general and stochastic block models in particular attracted a lot of attention in the last decade. The talk considers the Popularity Adjusted Block model (PABM) which generalizes the Stochastic Block model and the Degree Corrected Block Model by allowing more flexibility for block probabilities. We argue that the main appeal of the PABM is its less rigid spectral structure which makes the PABM an attractive choice for modeling networks that appear in biological sciences. Based on a joint work with Majid Noroozi and Ramchandra Rimal.

For the Probability and Mathematical Statistics talks held at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Rome Tor Vergata, see also the dedicated webpage http://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~ricerca/probab/talks.php <http://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~ricerca/probab/talks.php>.

Kind regards,

Alessia Caponera
