SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of presents Art\, Music & Autism: Jazz Musicians in Mixed Media by Juliette Hemingway
DESCRIPTION:In Juliette Hemingway’s work\, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it\, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing\, autism\, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism\, and for her\, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora\, Colorado.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Blind House: Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Radical Transparency
DESCRIPTION:\"Blind House: Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Radical Transparency\,\" by collaborative artists Paloma Muñoz and Walter Martin\, is a razor-sharp work that brings into question our ideals of house and home\, privacy\, and safety.\n\nThe exhibition combines photographs the artists have envisioned of houses without windows as well an actual glass house planned for the center of the gallery\, revisiting the whole notion of a glass house as an example of sophistication\, luxury\, and modernism.\n\nIn a darkening an era of surveillance and the internet\, for Martin and Muñoz\,  \"Blind House\" serves as \"a metaphorical solution to the full on campaign against personal privacy.\" Read the artists' statement at http://myumi.ch/6wxbk

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Ancient Color
DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CURRENT TOPICS IN GENDER IDENTITY
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Shumer is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatric Endocrinology. He is the founder and clinical director of the Child and Adolescent Gender Clinic at Mott Children’s Hospital\, a clinic for transgender and gender nonconforming youth. Dr. Shumer’s research has specifically focused on improving mental health disparities in the transgender community. He has clinical expertise in this area\, as well as disorders of sex development and general pediatric endocrinology and diabetes.\n\nChromosomes and hormones work in fetal life to differentiate males and females\; these are the biological determinants of sex. But what about gender identity? What makes us feel like a boy or a girl\, a man or a woman? Dr. Shumer will review what is currently known and unknown regarding the origins of gender identity.\nHe will also discuss epidemiology\, disparities faced by transgender individuals\, and current standards of care in the medical setting.\n\nThis is the fourth in a six-lecture series. The subject is Changing Gender Roles. The next lecture will be May 2\, 2019. The title is: Three Hypotheses for Explaining the So-Called Oppression of Men.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF A MUSEUM AS A CULTURAL REPOSITORY\n \nIn celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and distinguished U­–M art professor Jim Cogswell was invited to create a series of public window installations in response to the holdings of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. Additional support for the artist's project is provided by the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Oshima Tsumugi Kimono
DESCRIPTION:Fashioned in the Amami islands of Japan\, Oshima Tsumugi silk has long been admired for its understated beauty\, incredible softness\, and comfortable year-round lightness. The rich fabric is created through a remarkable and  laborious process: from pattern design and cotton-thread binding\, to over 100 rounds of plant and mud dyeing and weaving. This series of steps may take up to one year. Despite the high production values and complexities\, Oshima Tsumugi kimono can be worn only for non-ceremonial occasions\, since woven fabric is considered to be a less elevated technique than paint-dyed fabric.\n \nThis special installation introduces UMMA audiences to one of the ten exceptional Oshima Tsumugi kimono recently donated to the Museum by Kazuko Miyake. Thanks to Mrs. Miyake and her older sister\, Shizuko Iwata\, who previously gifted her kimono and other formal garment collection\, UMMA holds more than 300 traditional Japanese ensembles.\n\nThis kimono was recently gifted to UMMA by Ms. Kazuko Miyake.

SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: Design and Analysis of Sequential Randomized Trials with Applications to Mental Health and Online Education
DESCRIPTION:Dynamic treatment regimes\, also called adaptive interventions\, guide sequential treatment decision-making in a variety of fields\, including healthcare and education. Dynamic treatment regimes accommodate differences between individuals and changes in individuals over time. Sequential randomized trials are a specific type of trial design useful for developing high-quality dynamic treatment regimes.  Sequential randomized trials utilize re-randomization of individuals over time in order to discover how to sequence\, time\, and personalize treatments.  Two of the most commonly used sequential randomized trial designs are sequential multiple assignment randomized trials and micro-randomized trials.\n\nIn this thesis\, we contribute to both the design and analysis of sequential randomized trials. We describe design considerations for sequential randomized trials in online education. We present the design and analysis for a sequential randomized trial developed to reduce dropout in a massively open online course.  We also develop statistical methodology and sample size formulae for sequential multiple assignment randomized trial designs which include cluster-level randomization. The techniques are inspired by a trial aiming to develop high-quality dynamic treatment regimes for mental health clinics. Lastly\, we illustrate the design\, describe the analysis\, and present results of a large micro-randomized trial aiming to develop mobile health interventions for improving medical interns' mental health.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ethics and Politics of AI: Custodians of the Internet: Platforms\, Content Moderation\, and the Hidden Decisions that Shape Social Media
DESCRIPTION:Content moderation can serve as a prism for examining what platforms are\, and how they subtly torque public life. Our understanding of platforms too blithely accepted the terms in which they were sold and celebrated - open\, impartial\, connective\, progressive\, transformative - skewing our study of social behavior that happens on them\, stunting our examination of their societal impact. \n\nContent moderation doesn’t fit this celebratory vision. As such\, it has often been treated as peripheral to what they do—a custodial task\, like sweeping up\, occasional and invisible. What if moderation is in fact central to what platforms do? Moderation is an enormous part of the work of running a platform\, in terms of people\, time\, and cost. The work of policing all this caustic content and abuse haunts platforms\, and profoundly shapes how they work.\n\nToday\, social media platforms are being scrutinized in the press\; specific controversies\, each a tiny crisis of trust\, have gelled into a more profound interrogation of their responsibilities to users and society. What are the implications of the emerging demand that platforms serve not as conduits or arbiters\, but as custodians? This is uncharted territory for the platforms\, a very different notion of how they should earn the trust of their users and stand accountable to civil society.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nTarleton Gillespie is a principal researcher at Microsoft Research New England\, and an affiliated associate professor in the Department of Communication and Department of Information Science at Cornell University. His new book\, Custodians of the Internet: Platforms\, Content Moderation\, and the Hidden Decisions that Shape Social Media (Yale University Press) was published in June 2018. He is also the author of Wired Shut: Copyright and the Shape of Digital Culture (MIT Press\, 2007)\, the co-editor of Media Technologies: Essays on Communication\, Materiality\, and Society (MIT\, 2014)\, and the co-founder of the blog Culture Digitally.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Special HEP-Astro Seminar | The quest for the Axion 
DESCRIPTION:Axions and axion-like particles are excellent dark matter candidates\, spanning a vast range of mass scales from the milli- and micro-eV for the QCD axion\, to 1E-22 eV for ultralight axions in string theory. In some scenarios\, inhomogeneities in the axion density lead to the formation of compact structures known as axion “miniclusters” and axion stars. I will first discuss astrophysical and cosmological constraints on axions at either end of this spectrum\, using data from the cosmic microwave background anisotropies and the effects of miniclusters on the gravitational microlensing and on direct detection. I will then assess the formation and the evolution of axion stars in various astrophysical regimes.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Brown: South Asian Narratives of Brownness in Southeast Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Using an interdisciplinary lens\, the exhibit explores the heterogeneity in the contours of brown narratives among South Asians in the Midwest. Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: Scalable classification methods with applications to healthcare claims and automotive dealership data
DESCRIPTION:With technology advances in recent years\, sensing and media storage capabilities have enabled the generation of enormous amounts of information\, often in the form of large data sets in different scientific fields such as biology\, marketing and medicine. As this vast amount of data has opened a wealth of opportunities for data analysis\, computationally scalable methods become increasingly important for statistical modeling. This thesis focuses on developing scalable classification methods and their applications to automotive dealerships and healthcare problems.\n\nThe first project studies parameter estimation of customers' and dealerships' consumption preference for the automotive market\, which determines the manufacturers' profits. Most existing methods assume that the dealerships are rational and hence aim to maximize profits\, which conflicts with observations. We propose a structural Bayesian model for customers’ and dealerships’ preference which aims to maximize a flexible utility function. Further we develop an MCMC algorithm utilizing parallel computing to estimate model parameters. The model is calibrated to data from a manufacturer\, and the estimates are used in a simulation model to design optimal financial incentive offers to maximize profits.\n\nThe second project focuses on the two-class classification problem based on the area under the receiver operating curve (AUC)\, which is often considered as a more comprehensive measure for the performance of a classifier comparing with the misclassification error. Maximizing the empirical AUC directly\, however\, is computationally challenging as naive computation of the AUC requires quadratic time complexity\, while computing the misclassification error only requires linear time complexity. Further\, the optimization involves indicator functions and it is NP-hard. In this project\, we propose a non-convex differentiable surrogate function for the AUC\, and further develop a scalable algorithm to optimize this surrogate loss function. The proposed algorithm takes advantage of the selection tree data structure and also uses a truncated Newton strategy so that the computational complexity of the optimization scales at the quasilinear time. In the setting of linear classification\, we also show that the estimated coefficients enjoy theoretical asymptotic consistency. Finally\, we evaluate the performance of the proposed method using both simulation studies and two data sets\, one for normal/abnormal vertebral column classification and the other for behaving/not-behaving network visit classification\, and show that the proposed method outperforms the support vector machine (SVM) in terms of the AUC.\n\nThe last project is motivated by the problem of predicting midterm mortality of patients using the Ninth Revision\, International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) codes\, which is relevant for healthcare and clinical research. The ICD-9 contains a list of standard six-character alphanumeric codes recording useful clinical information including patient diagnoses and procedures. However\, the number of ICD-9 codes in a specific study is often large\, on the order of thousands or tens of thousands\, and the dependence structure among ICD-9 codes is complicated\, which pose statistical challenges for using the ICD-9 codes. To address these challenges\, we develop a supervised embedding method that combines an unsupervised criterion for learning latent representations of ICD-9 codes and a Deep Set neural network model for classification\, which is invariant with respect to the ordering of the ICD-9 codes. The proposed supervised embedding method has the advantage of modeling the inter-relationship within ICD-9 codes and the nonlinear relationship between codes and the outcome variable simultaneously\, and it can also be naturally extended to the semi-supervised learning setting. The model is trained using the stochastic gradient descent (SGD) approach\, which allows the entire database to be stored on multiple computing nodes and hence makes the method suitable for analyzing large data sets. We have applied the proposed method to 1-year mortality prediction using the Medical Information Mart for Incentive Care III (MIMIC-III) database and achieved superior performance in comparison with several benchmark models.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM Theory Seminar | Towards exciton optomechanics in suspended 2D semiconductors
DESCRIPTION:Excitons\, made of electron-hole pairs bound by Coulomb interaction\, provide compelling opportunities for applications in optoelectronics\, information storage\, non-volatile logic. However\, the small binding energy of exciton in conventional semiconductors jeopardizes its integration and potentials in modern optoelectronics schemes. In the past decade\, a new type of two-dimensional semiconductors\, mainly transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs)\, attract tremendous interests with much larger exciton binding energy. Thus\, stable excitonic effects up to room temperature can give rise to extremely strong light-matter interaction. Together with their ultra-lightweight and other emerging properties\, such strong excitonic interaction in 2D TMD opens up the possibility to optically control properties of monolayer semiconductors over the suspended structure. \n\nIn this talk\, I will first review this new type of 2D semiconductors and interesting device physics by employing the structure of nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). Then I’ll present our study of exciton-induced nonlinearities in suspended TMD monolayers\, where we achieved a robust optical bistability near the exciton resonance. Our results also demonstrate a helicity-dependent optical switching that enables control of light not only by light intensity but also by its polarization using monolayer materials. Additionally\, I will discuss our recent results on dynamically manipulating the mechanical motion of a suspended 2D semiconductor through its exciton resonance\, without an optical cavity structure.\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Department of Theatre & Drama Studio Production: Murakami by the Sea (RE-SCHEDULED from 2/14-2/17)
DESCRIPTION:*This production has been re-scheduled from February*\n\nDevised Dance/Theatre piece inspired by short stories by Haruki Murakami and many more. Directed by Tzveta Kassabova with the cast. “And then I realized that the deep darkness inside me had vanished. Suddenly. As suddenly as it has come. I raised myself from the sand and\, without bothering either to take off my shoes or roll up my cuffs\, walked into the surf to let the waves lap at my ankles.” What does it mean to tell a story? Who is the storyteller\, who is listening? What real geography is surrounding us and what landscape do we imagine in our stories?

SUMMARY:Performance:The Jacob Jolliff Band
DESCRIPTION:Jacob Jolliff was born into a musical family in Newberg\, OR. His dad started him on the mandolin at age seven and required him to practice ten minutes a day. But after six months of practicing this minimal amount\, something clicked\, and almost overnight he started putting in several hours of intense practice daily. And this hasn't really changed in the last 20 years. He's played with Joy Kills Sorrow and Yonder Mountain String Band (which continues to tour)\, and now he's started his own Jacob Jolliff Band\, featuring some of New England's most virtuosic young pickers. The group features a lot of Jacob's original instrumentals\, as well as showcasing his singing\, which has been a big part of what he does in recent years.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library
DESCRIPTION:A multi-venue exhibition of site-specific installations\, performances\, interventions\, and events by University of Michigan faculty\, staff\, and students\, Bookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is curated by Guna Nadarajan\, dean of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan\, in partnership with the University of Michigan Library. The exhibition will be located in several locations within Shapiro Undergraduate Library\, Hatcher Graduate Library\, and the Art\, Architecture & Engineering Library. \n\nThe continued proliferation of digital formats and systems for the embodiment\, distribution\, and delivery of knowledge increasingly displace the book as form. As a result\, the spacial limitations of libraries are challenged. The value of the book and the function of the library demand cultural attention. In this moment\, we ask ourselves: what is the future of the library? What is the future of the book? This exhibition seeks to instigate and showcase creative responses to the challenges to the book and the library in the forms we have inherited as well as to project ways of reimagining futures for/of books and libraries.\n\nBookmarks: Speculating the Futures of the Book and Library is supported by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, the University of Michigan Library\, the University of Michigan Office for Research (UMOR)\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n\n
