This seminar will start at an early time due to time zone difference
Title
Optimal partition recovery: from chain graphs to lattices then general graphs
Speaker

Abstract
In change point localisation problems, one seeks estimators of change points in chain graphs with piecewise-constant means. We will start with presenting the optimal results in such problems, then move on discussing the rectangle partitioning problems in d-dimensional square lattice graphs. Due to the increase in dimensionality, the successful L_0 penalisation methods become NP-hard. We will discuss how one can still achieve optimality in lattice graphs with computational-efficient methods. Finally, we move on to general graphs, which are solely characterised by the effective-resistance connectivity, and complete the full story.
