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: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:Presentation:Dissertation Defense: Gradient-\, Ensemble-\, and Adjoint-Free Data-Driven Parameter Estimation
DESCRIPTION:Ankit Goel\n\nPresentation Info:\nDate: April 26\, 2019\nTime: 9:00 AM\nLocation: Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building\, 1044 McDivitt Conference Room\n\nDissertation Committee:\nChair:\nProfessor Dennis S. Bernstein\nCognate Member:\nProfessor Aaron Ridley\n\nMembers:\nProfessor Karthik Duraisamy\nAssistant Professor Alex Gorodetsky\n\nIn many applications\, models of physical systems have known structure but unknown parameters. By viewing the unknown parameters as constant states\, nonlinear estimation methods such as the extended Kalman filter\, unscented Kalman filter\, and ensemble Kalman filter can be used to estimate the states of the augmented system\, thereby providing estimates of the parameters along with the dynamic states. These methods tend to be computationally expensive due to the need for Jacobians\, ensembles\, or adjoint\, especially when the models are high-dimensional. \n\nThis dissertation presents the retrospective cost parameter estimation (RCPE) algorithm\, which does not require gradients\, ensembles\, or adjoints. Rather\, RCPE estimates unknown parameters from a single trajectory\, and requires updating only as many adaptive integrator gains as the number of unknown parameters. RCPE is applicable to parameter estimation in linear and nonlinear models\, where the parameterization may be either affine or nonaffine. \n\nThe main contribution of this work is to show that the parameter estimates may be permuted in an arbitrary way\, and thus a permutation is needed to correctly associate each parameter estimate with the corresponding unknown parameter. RCPE is illustrated through several numerical examples including the Burgers equation and the Global Ionosphere Thermosphere Model (GITM).

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:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Microeconomics/IO Seminar: \"Fiduciary Duty and the Market for Financial Advice.\"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nRecent regulatory debate in the financial advice industry has focused on expanding fiduciary duties to broker-dealers. Proponents of this reform argue that it would improve the advice given to clients and limit losses from agency problems\, while detractors counter that such regulation would increase compliance costs without directly improving consumer outcomes. This paper evaluates these questions empirically\, using a transactions-level dataset for annuity sales from a major financial services provider and exploiting state-level variation in common law fiduciary duty. We find that fiduciary duty shifts the set of products chosen by consumers\, away from variable annuities and towards fixed indexed annuities. Within variable annuities\, fiduciary duty induces a shift towards lower-fee\, higher-return annuities with a wider array of investment options. Finally\, fiduciary duty induces exit of firms directly influenced by the regulation. We find almost no spillover effects—either on entry or on advice provided—onto advisers who are not directly impacted by the regulation. We develop a model that leverages the distributional changes in product sold in the market to argue that fiduciary duty operates through the intended mechanism of directly influencing advice.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Classical Receptions Colloquium: Graduate student presentations on \"Approaches to Classical Reception Studies\"
DESCRIPTION:Joshua Billings studied Classics\, German\, and Comparative Literature at Harvard and Oxford. Before arriving at Princeton in 2015\, he held a research fellowship at Cambridge\, and taught at Yale for three years.\n\nHis research focuses on ancient Greek literature and philosophy and modern intellectual history\, with a particular concentration on tragedy. After a first book on modern conceptions of tragedy and the tragic (Genealogy of the Tragic: Greek Tragedy and German Philosophy\, Princeton 2014)\, he is now working on fifth-century (BCE) drama and intellectual culture. The project is provisionally entitled “Enlightenment on Stage” and it focuses on drama’s presentation of mythical figures as a reflection of the so-called “Attic Enlightenment.” Dramatic and (broadly) philosophical texts alike\, he argues\, use the stories of myth to explore common conceptual issues\; unfolding this entails a method that recognizes the distinctive significance that myth has for thought in fifth-century culture.\n\nColloquium Schedule\n\n10 am\, Session 1: Embodying Classical Reception \n\n1.

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:Workshop / Seminar:CSAAW Workshop Special Guest Speaker will talk on paper crumpling dynamics
DESCRIPTION:When describing the dynamics of a sheet of paper being crumpled one may be tempted to only take the elastic response of the thin sheet into account and consider only those deformations which minimize the elastic energy of the crumpled sheet. However\, most materials yield and deform plastically\, leaving permanent scars in the thin sheet. Indeed\, the simple process of crumpling a sheet of paper with our hands results in a complex network of interconnected permanent creases of many sizes and orientations\, along which the sheet preferentially bends. Thereby\, history dependence is introduced into the system. I will present an experimental study of the dynamics of crumpling. Specifically\, we investigate how a crease network evolves when a thin elastoplastic sheet is repeatedly crumpled\, opened up and then re-crumpled. Is there a maximally crumpled state after which the sheet can be crumpled without further plastic deformations\, or do creases and defects keep accumulating forever? Surprisingly\, we find that much of the complex dynamics of the crease patterns can be captured using one simple global measure\, which is independent of the crumpling history.

SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: Statistical Learning for Networks with Node Features
DESCRIPTION:Network data represent connectivity relationships between individuals of interest and are common in many scientific fields\, including biology\, sociology\, medicine and healthcare. Often\, additional node features are also available together with the data on relationships. Both types of data contain important information about individual characteristics and the population structure. This thesis focuses on developing statistical machine learning methods and theory for network data with node features.\n\nWe first study the problem of community detection for networks with node features using a model-based approach. Most existing models make strong conditional independence assumptions between the network\, features and community memberships\, which limits the applicability of the model. In our work\, we develop a general statistical framework to describe the dependence structure between the link structure\, node features and communities. Further\, we propose two families of models that are the most general under this framework with the least conditional independence assumptions between the three components. We have established mild conditions for model identifiability and developed variational EM algorithms to estimate model parameters and community memberships. Extensive simulation studies and application to a food web and a lawyer friendship network indicate that the proposed methods work well.\n\nThe second project focuses on the problem of node classification using both individual features and the network. In a classical setting\, data points are assumed independent and identically distributed\, and a data point is classified using only its own features. When a network between the data points is available\, it often contains additional information about class memberships and can be utilized to improve classification performance. In this work\, we develop a general statistical framework for network augmented classification. Under this framework\, we derive the optimal Bayes classifiers for two general families of distributions incorporating node features and networks. Further\, we establish asymptotic consistency results for plug-in classifiers with respect to the optimal ones under the two families. We have also applied these general approaches to specific models and developed effective classifiers for practical use. The proposed methods have been evaluated using both simulation studies and a teenage friendship network\, and show promising results.\n\nThe final contribution of this thesis is on link prediction for incomplete network data. Most existing link prediction methods require at least partial observation of connections for every node. In real-world networks\, however\, there often exist nodes that do not have any link information\, and it is of interest to make link predictions for them using only their node features. We consider a general setup in which a network consists of three types of nodes\, nodes only having feature information\, nodes only having link information\, and nodes having both. Our goal is to make link predictions for nodes having only feature information. Under this setting\, we have proposed a family of generative models for incomplete networks with node features\, and we have developed a variational auto-encoder algorithm for model estimation and link prediction and investigated different encoder structures. We have also designed a cross-validation scheme under the problem setting for model selection. The proposed method has been evaluated on an online social network and two citation networks and achieves superior performance comparing with existing methods.

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: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:Lecture / Discussion:Cognitive Neuroscience/Psycholinguistics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Linguistics and the Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science are pleased to welcome Ina Bornkessel-Schlesewsky and Matthias Schlesewsky\, University of South Australia\, who will present a talk titled \"Inter-individual differences in predictive coding during language processing.\" All are welcome!\n\n\n\nABSTRACT\nPredictive coding provides a compelling theory of how the human brain processes information\, with the potential to provide a unified explanation across a wide range of different cognitive domains. In spite of the prominence of predictive coding-based accounts in cognitive neuroscience\, however\, little is currently known about whether and how predictive coding mechanisms differ between individuals. In our laboratory\, we have recently begun pursuing a research program that aims to systematically examine such inter-individual differences\, with a particular focus on language processing as the cognitive domain of interest. Here\, we will present what we have learned so far. Our results provide evidence for extensive inter-individual differences even in young\, healthy adults. They further suggest that this variability is related to basic neurobiological influences on perceptual sampling  and information processing (individual alpha frequency)\, as well as to the quality of an individual’s language model. We will discuss potential consequences of this variability for predictive coding architectures as well as implications for a lifespan-based perspective on the neurobiology of cognitive processing.

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: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
