October 20-21, CBA members will gather at Hotel Reenskaug in Drøbak to present their work and make new plans for the future.
The talk is elementary and discusses empirical modelling of single variables with insurance losses as example. There are in such cases little or no theory to go on, and the amount of data is many situation quite scarce. Why do we so often limit ourselves to fit two-parameter families? It will be suggested that it may be a good idea to work with more flexible models with three or four parameters and that this may provide a nice framework for automating the entire procedure for the computer to work alone. Sure, with little data the parameters may be unstably estimated, but that may not apply equally to the distributions they define. Many-parameter families suitable for insurance losses will be reviewed with some simple asymptotics in an example allowing this and with Monte Carlo to throw light on the issue in other cases.

Geofaredagen er et møtested og nasjonal konferanse for studenter, undervisere og alle som jobber med geofarer i Norge. Årets Geofaredag er 19 oktober og arrangeres av Universitetet i Tromsø - Norges arktiske universitet.
In this talk I will discuss the variational form of Bayes theorem by Zellner (1988). This result is the rationale behind the variational (approximate) inference scheme, although it is not always that clear in modern presentations. I will discuss two applications of this results. First, I will show how to do a low-rank mean correction within the INLA framework (with amazing results), which is essential for the next generation of the R-INLA software currently in development. In the second one, I will introduce the Bayesian learning rule, which unify many machine-learning algorithms from fields such as optimization, deep learning, and graphical models. This includes classical algorithms such as ridge regression, Newton's method, and Kalman filter, as well as modern deep-learning algorithms such as stochastic-gradient descent, RMSprop, and Dropout.
The first part of the talk is based on our recent research at KAUST, while the second part is based upon \texttt{arxiv.org/abs/2107.04562} with Dr. Mohammad Emtiyaz Khan, RIKEN Center for AI Project, Tokyo.

Urban impact on water quality and the local water budget - Gaustad, Oslo
Abstract: The concept of symmetry breaking is well-known in physics, for instance in condensed matter, where it results from interactions in a many-body system — e.g., phase transition in a spin system. Yet, as physicists, we tend not to think of the patterned structures seen in living, many-body systems in terms of broken symmetries. Whether it is the spacing of knuckles on our hand, the collective alignment of hairs on an insect wing, or more globally the transformation of a homogeneous, isotropic embryo into a developed organism, symmetry breaking abounds in biology. What new insights can a physicist bring to understand the origin of these complex phenomena? (Click title to read full abstract below...)

Abstract: Elimination of substances from the brain is believed to occur by a combination of convection and diffusion. In previous work, transport along perivascular spaces around blood vessels have been explicitly meshed and modeled, and also 1D-3D models have been used to model the interaction between blood and brain tissue. A problem with both these approaches is that it requires spatial information of all blood vessels within the brain and in addition may result in a computationally expensive system to solve. In this talk, I will introduce a homogenized model of transport in the brain, also taking into account transfer between different compartments (like blood and brain tissue) within the brain. Fluid flow in and between compartments are modeled with the mulitple-porosity elasticity theory (MPET), while transport within and between compartments are modeled with convection-diffusion equations. I will further show preliminary results from our model and compare with experimental data obtained in a glioma (brain tumor) patient, where transport between blood and brain is typically altered.
This talk is part of the Mechanics Lunch Seminar series. Bring-your-own-lunch and lots of questions.
