Résumé : Analysis of a cross-diffusion model for rival gangs interaction in a city
In this talk, I will present a two-species cross-diffusion model inspired by a system of convection-diffusion equations. The latter system is derived from an agent-based model on a two-dimensional discrete lattice and proposed to simulate gang territorial development through graffiti markings. We provide a weak stability analysis on the cross-diffusion system by using entropy balance inequalities. We show that the system does not allow segregated solutions.
This is talk is based on a joint work with Alethea B. T. Barbaro (U. Delft), Nancy Rodriguez (U. Colorado Boulder) and Nicola Zamponi (U. Mannheim).

Résumé : Most modern machine learning models require one hyperparameter to be chosen by the user upstream of the learning phase. Popular approaches use a grid of values on which to evaluate the performance of the model for a given criterion, one can think of grid-search or random-search which means fitting the given model for each value of the grid.
These methods have a major drawback : they scale exponentially with the number of hyperparameters. In this presentation, we will show that the hyperparameter selection problem can be cast as a bilevel optimization problem and will consider non-smooth models (such as the Lasso, the Elastic Net, the SVM).
We propose a first-order method that uses information about the gradient with respect to the hyperparameter to automatically select the best hyperparameter for a given criterion.
We will see that this method is very efficient even when the number of hyperparameters gets large.
Résumé : I will give a brief introduction to the study of log-Sobolev type inequalities (LSI’s) for quantum Markov semigroups and some of their applications. In the context of classical heat semigroups on compact Riemannian manifolds, the famous Bakry-Emery theorem provides a beautiful connection between the geometry of the underlying manifold and the LSI, showing that a positive lower bound on the Ricci curvature implies an LSI for the heat semigroup. I will discuss an information-theoretic approach to obtain modified log-Sobolev inequalities based on non-positive non-commutative Ricci curvature lower bounds previously developed by Carlen and Maas. Using these tools, we are able to find new examples of quantum Markov semigroups satisfying a completely bounded version of the modified LSI, including heat semigroups on free quantum groups. This talk is based on joint work with Li Gao (TUM) and Marius Junge (UIUC).
