Dear All,
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to participate in the International Intensive Courses dedicated to Dirac operators, Hypercomplex and Harmonic Analysis to be held online jointly by Chapman University, Politecnico di Milano and University of Aveiro and is supported by the ISAAC society. This sequence of events will take place online and are directed to postgraduate students, young researchers, and all who wish to expand their knowledge on current topics in the field of Dirac operators, Hypercomplex and Harmonic Analysis. See the webpage http://sweet.ua.pt/pceres/ICC_Dirac/Webpage/Home.html
For this first edition we proudly announce a course on Reproducing Kernel Spaces lectured by Professor Daniel Alpay, from Chapman University. The course will take place online, from November 23 to December 04, 2020. The details will be provided and posted in due time. Persons interested in participating are kindly requested to register by sending an e-mail to [email protected] no later than November 16, 2020.

Title: A COURSE ON POSITIVE DEFINITE FUNCTIONS AND REPRODUCING KERNEL SPACES
Abstract: Positive definite functions and reproducing kernel spaces play an important role in various fields of mathematics, ranging from pure analysis, to group representations, to the theory of coherent states, linear system theory, quantum mechanics and machine learning, to name a few. In the course, we will go over the main properties of positive definite functions (and of the closely related notion of conditionally negative functions), reproducing kernel spaces, and their operators, also in the indefinite metric setting. We will then:
(1) Discuss briefly some de Branges Rovnyak spaces, operator models, and their counterparts in a variety of settings.
(2) Draw examples from hypercomplex analysis.
(3) Discuss the applications in infinite dimensional analysis and the theory of generalized stochastic processes.
All the examples will be taken from the latest developments of the theory.

Looking forward to meeting you.

WHAT IS AUC?

AUC is a metric used to judge predictions in binary response (0/1) problem. It is only sensitive to the order determined by the predictions and not their magnitudes.

AUC was first used by the American army after the attack on Pearl Harbour, to detect Japanese aircraft from radar signals.

Today, it is a commonly used evaluation method for binary choice problems, which involve classifying an instance as either positive or negative. Its main advantages over other evaluation methods, such as the simpler misclassification error, are:

👉🏻It's insensitive to unbalanced datasets (datasets that have more installeds than not-installeds or vice versa).

👉🏻For other evaluation methods, a user has to choose a cut-off point above which the target variable is part of the positive class (e.g. a logistic regression model returns any real number between 0 and 1 - the modeler might decide that predictions greater than 0.5 mean a positive class prediction while a prediction of less than 0.5 mean a negative class prediction). AUC evaluates entries at all cut-off points, giving better insight into how well the classifier is able to separate the two classes.

_Understanding AUC_

To understand the calculation of AUC, a few basic concepts must be introduced. For a binary choice prediction, there are four possible outcomes:

1. true positive - a positive instance that is correctly classified as positive;

2. false positive - a negative instance that is incorrectly classified as positive;

3. true negative - a negative instance that is correctly classified as negative;

4. false negative - a positive instance that is incorrectly classified as negative;

The true positive rate, or recall, is calculated as the number of true positives divided by the total number of positives. When identifying aircraft from radar signals, it is proportion that are correctly identified.

The false positive rate is calculated as the number of false positives divided by the total number of negatives. When identifying aircraft from radar signals, it is the rate of false alarms.

If somebody makes random guesses, the ROC curve will be a diagonal line stretching from (0,0) to (1,1). See the blue line in the figure below. To understand this consider:

- Somebody who randomly guesses that 10 per cent of all radar signals point to planes. The false positive rate and the false alarm rate will be 10 per cent.

- Somebody who randomly guesses that 90 per cent of all radar signals point to planes. The false positive rate and the false alarm rate will be 90 per cent.

Meanwhile a perfect model will achieve a true positive rate of 1 and a false positive rate of 0.

While ROC is a two-dimensional representation of a model's performance, the AUC distills this information into a single scalar. As the name implies, it is calculated as the area under the ROC curve. A perfect model will score an AUC of 1, while random guessing will score an AUC of around of 0.5. In practice, almost all models will fit somewhere in between.
