SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: Privacy\, Reputation\, and Identity in a Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:Reputation has long been prized. In its traditional form\, people who know something about you use this knowledge to form opinions. Their collective sense of who you are—your reputation—affects how people treat you: it shapes all of your social interactions.\n\nIn today's world\, additional knowledge about you resides in \"big data\" collected by individuals\, organizations\, companies\, and governments. Increasingly\, data about you are being processed by algorithms to draw conclusions: to form something like opinions. \n\nThis combination of data and algorithms creates a new digital reputation which increasingly shapes your life\, from recommending purchases and suggesting friends to prompting actions based solely on your digital footprint.\n\nWho gathers\, owns\, and controls this data? Where do they get it\, and how? How do they use it? Is it shared with people\, processed by algorithms\, used to construct your choices? What should we think about all of this?\n\nIn this Teach-Out we will consider questions of privacy\, surveillance\, reputation\, and identity using a case study approach. Learners will hear from experts and engage in conversation using real-world scenarios across multiple topic areas.\n\nTeach-Out.org

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Beauty Meets My Mess: Mixed Media Collage
DESCRIPTION:Re Kielar was born in Chicago’s little Italy neighborhood with her grandparents upstairs and aunt and uncle across the courtyard. Her world was very Italian\, and when she walked outside\, she felt like she was leaving one country and entering another. Ever since she was a child\, she has loved paint and texture and seen beauty in the most unlikely places. Her artwork expresses human emotion through drawing in ink with rough papers\, old book pages\, metal embellishments and natural objects. Each abstract collage is coupled with her poetry\, so each piece is a walk into her soul. She hopes that by sharing that which is broken\, we can find healing spaces that knit our hearts together.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Timeless Instants: Still Life Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Originally from Kansas City\, Tina West discovered photography while studying sculpture. She sees her photographs more as paintings\, and her still lifes have powerful cast shadows and frequent light play. Influenced by Gerhardt Richter and surrealism\, West’s images communicate a sense of being\, connecting not only the objects in the photographs\, but also the viewer and the photograph. She draws inspiration from the objects in her vast collection of unique treasures\, and she speaks to their unreserved timelessness with maturity and wonder. All of the images in this exhibit were created using instant film in a 4x5 view camera.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mr. Vignaud's Maps: Unraveling a Cartographic Mystery from the Golden Age of Dutch Cartography
DESCRIPTION:In 1922 the University of Michigan acquired the library of Henry Vignaud\, an American diplomat living in Paris\, whose extensive personal library included thousands of books\, atlases\, maps\, and other publications. Many of Vignaud's maps were extracted from broken atlases\, originally published by the illustrious Hondius and Janssonius publishing houses. Staff in the Clark Library sought to organize these fascinating maps based on their physical characteristics and similarities\, with the ultimate goal of reassembling the original atlases.\n\nThis exhibit and the accompanying online exhibit (https://www.lib.umich.edu/online-exhibits/exhibits/show/rediscoveringvignaud) feature the results of their remarkable findings\, as well as a glimpse into the history of the Golden Age of mapmaking in 17th century Amsterdam.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstract Ancestry: Machine-Works on Paper
DESCRIPTION:Detroit-based artist Matthew Angelo Harrison takes a satirical look at historical narratives—exploring issues of race\, design\, mortality and industry—by making use of analog and digital technologies. For his solo show\, \"Abstract Ancestry\,\" at University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities\, Harrison will produce a suite of mechanical drawings with his homemade 3D printer. Using books and documents containing problematic historical portrayals as the substrate for his drawings\, Harrison is able to explore issues of representation. The exhibition also examines abstraction\, setting the printers to work at a low resolution ensures that imperfections and variability come through in these machine-produced drawings.\n\nOn April 5\, join us as we celebrate the opening of our final exhibition of the academic year with our 2018 Efroymson Emerging Artist in Residence Matthew Angelo Harrison. Harrison will be in conversation with curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThis project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Quaker Oats Makes a Movie: A Scrumdiddlyumptious Wonka Adventure
DESCRIPTION:​Quaker Oats forged a new path in the entertainment industry by jointly marketing consumer packaged goods and a major motion picture in 1971\, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Having never made a motion picture before\, their foray into the filmmaking industry was unexpected and unprecedented. The company saw this film as an opportunity to essentially make a feature-length commercial for their new line of Wonka candy products.\n\nStudents in Matthew Solomon's class\, SAC 355: Authorship and the Archive\, culled though hundreds of production documents related to the film to curate an exhibit that tells a little known behind-the-scenes story about one of the most beloved films.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 12–5 p.m. Sunday\; galleries are closed on Mondays.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: Statistical Tools for Network Data: Prediction and Resampling
DESCRIPTION:Advances in data collection and social media have led to more and more network data appearing in diverse  areas\, such as social sciences\, internet\, transportation and biology. This thesis develops new principled statistical tools for network analysis\, with emphasis on both appealing statistical properties and computational efficiency.\n\nOur first project focuses on building prediction models for network-linked data. Prediction algorithms typically assume the training data are independent samples\, but in many modern applications samples come from individuals connected by a network.  For example\, in adolescent health studies of risk-taking behaviors\, information on the subjects' social network is often available and plays an important role through network cohesion\, the empirically observed phenomenon of friends behaving similarly.  Taking cohesion into account in prediction models should allow us to improve their performance.  We propose a network-based penalty on individual node effects to encourage similarity between predictions for linked nodes\, and show that incorporating it into prediction leads to improvement over traditional models both theoretically and empirically when network cohesion is present.  The penalty can be used with many loss-based prediction methods\, such as regression\, generalized linear models\, and Cox's proportional hazard model. Applications to predicting levels of recreational activity and marijuana usage among teenagers from the AddHealth study based on both demographic covariates and friendship networks are discussed in detail.  We show that our approach to taking friendships into account can significantly improve predictions of behavior while providing interpretable estimates of covariate effects.\n\nResampling\, data splitting\, and cross-validation are powerful general strategies in statistical inference\, but resampling from a network remains a challenging problem. Many statistical models and methods for networks need model selection and tuning parameters\, which could be done by cross-validation if we had a good method for splitting network data\;  however\,  splitting network nodes into groups requires deleting edges and destroys some of the structure.  Here we propose a new network cross-validation strategy based on splitting edges rather than nodes\, which avoids losing information and is applicable to a wide range of network models.  We provide a theoretical justification for our method in a general setting and  demonstrate how our method can be used in a number of specific model election and parameter tuning tasks\, with  extensive numerical results on simulated networks demonstrating its competitiveness with task-specific methods.   We also apply the method to analysis of a citation network of statisticians and obtain meaningful research communities.\n\nFinally\, we consider the problem of community detection on partially observed networks.  Communities are one important type of structure in networks and they have been widely studied.  However\, in practice\, network data are often collected through sampling   mechanisms\, such as survey questionnaires\, instead of direct observation.  The noise and bias introduced by such sampling mechanisms can obscure the community structure and invalidate the assumptions of standard community detection methods.   We propose a model to incorporate neighborhood sampling\, through a model reflective of survey designs\,  into community detection for directed networks\, since friendship networks obtained from surveys are naturally directed.. We model the edge sampling probabilities as a function of both individual preferences and community parameters\, and fit the model by a combination of spectral clustering and the method of moments.  The algorithm is computationally efficient and comes with a theoretical guarantee of consistency.. We evaluate the proposed model in extensive simulation studies and applied it to a  faculty hiring dataset\, discovering a meaningful hierarchy of communities among US business schools.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhD Defense: Ben Yee
DESCRIPTION:Title: A Multilevel in Space and Energy Solver for Multigroup Diffusion and Coarse Mesh Finite Difference Eigenvalue Problems\n\nCo-Chair: Prof. Edward Larsen\nCo-Chair: Dr. Brendan Kochunas\n\nAbstract: In reactor physics\, the efficient solution of the multigroup neutron diffusion eigenvalue problem is desired for various applications. The diffusion problem is a lower-order but reasonably accurate approximation to the higher- fidelity multigroup neutron transport eigenvalue problem\, and\, in cases where the full-fidelity of the transport solution is needed\, its solution can be used to accelerate the convergence of transport solvers via methods such as Coarse Mesh Finite Difference (CMFD). Although the multigroup CMFD eigenvalue problem is orders of magnitude smaller than a typical transport problem\, it can still have hundreds of millions of unknowns\, and obtaining its solution is not a trivial task. In the Michigan Parallel Characteristics Transport (MPACT) code\, the lack of an efficient CMFD solver has resulted in a computational bottleneck at the CMFD step. Despite being a low-order accelerator\, the CMFD component of MPACT can comprise 50% or more of the overall runtime when the de facto default CMFD solver in MPACT is used. Addressing this bottleneck is the motivation for our work.\nThe primary focus of this thesis is the theory\, development\, implementation\, and testing of a new Multilevel-in-Space-and-Energy Diffusion (MSED) method for efficiently solving multigroup diffusion and CMFD eigenvalue problems. As its name suggests\, MSED efficiently converges multigroup diffusion and CMFD problems by leveraging lower-order systems with coarsened energy and/or spatial grids. Compared to the de facto default CMFD solver\, results from our implementation of MSED in MPACT show a ~8- 12x reduction in the CMFD runtime required by MPACT for single statepoint calculations on 3-D\, full-core\, 51-group reactor models. The number of transport sweeps is also typically reduced by the use of MSED\, which is able to better converge the CMFD system than the default CMFD solver. This leads to further savings in overall runtime that is not captured by the difference in CMFD runtime.
