SUMMARY:Virtual LANS Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Title: Modeling Networks and Network Populations via Graph Distances\nSpeaker: Sofia Olhede\, Professor of Statistics\, EPFL \nDate/Time: January 13\, 2021 / 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM\nLocation: Please note that the meeting URL for this event can be seen on the cels-seminars website\, which requires an Argonne login. \n\nDescription: Networks have become a key form of data. Networks allow us to dependence between nodes or actors. Understanding the difference between two networks is also challenging unless they share nodes and are of the same size. We shall discuss how we may compare networks and also consider the regime where more than one network is observed. \nWe shall also discuss how to parametrize a distribution on labelled graphs in terms of a Frechét mean graph (which depends on a user-specified choice of metric or graph distance) and a parameter that controls the concentration of this distribution about its mean. Entropy is the natural parameter for such control\, varying from a point mass concentrated on the Frechét mean itself to a uniform distribution over all graphs on a given vertex set. \nNetworks present many new statistical challenges. We shall discuss how to resolve these challenges respecting the fundamental non-Euclidean nature of network observations. \nThis is joint work with Simon Lunagomez (Lancaster University) and Patrick Wolfe (Purdue University) \nBiosketch: Sofia is a professor of Statistics at EPFL. She joined UCL prior to this in 2007\, before which she was a senior lecturer of statistics (associate professor) at Imperial College London (2006-2007)\, a lecturer of statistics (assistant professor) (2002-2006)\, where she also completed her PhD in 2003 and MSci in 2000. She has held three research fellowships while at UCL: UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Springboard fellowship as well as a five-year Leadership fellowship\, and now holds a European Research Council Consolidator fellowship. Sofia has contributed to the study of stochastic processes; time series\, random fields and networks. Sofia was also a member of the Royal Society and British Academy Data Governance Working Group\, and the Royal Society working group on machine learning. Most recently she was one of 3 commissioners on a law society commission on the usage of algorithms in the justice system.
