Her sculptural works are infused with symbolism and metaphors in the forms of cages\, nests and butterflies. All works are made entirely of varying weights and types of paper\, including hanji (Korean traditional) and common coffee filters. Representing concepts of time\, memory\, openness and constraint\, the pieces are created with traditional methods\, using scissors and simple die-cutting tools\; cross-disciplinary techniques\, such as weaving and tatting used in fiber arts\; and technologies like laser cutting machines. There are two series of paper nests: one created entirely without the use of adhesive\, and the other involves tatting with knots. Viewers are encouraged to contemplate\, find meaning and ultimately – hope.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

A proud Midwesterner\, she splits her time between studios in Chicago and Pentwater\, Michigan. She is recognized for her ethereal paintings and sculptural installations. Finding the edge between intuitive and deliberate mark making\, Svoboda’s work is a meditation on the earth’s last places of quiet and untouched beauty. Challenging the viewer to rethink their responsibility to Mother Earth\, her collage works are intricate paintings layered to create sculptural works. These paintings are based on fractal geometry (infinitely unfolding terrains of self-similar shapes like those in living things. In 2015\, she received a Hemera fellowship to study Zen and calligraphy in Japan\, which continues to influence her work. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

She asks seniors to bring in a quotation they believe speaks to their identity\, and Swift takes their portrait with it on a blackboard behind them. The images challenge viewers to evaluate their assumptions about adolescents by opening a door into what young people really think and aspire to. The students’ choices reveal a youth culture that is wise and artistic\, assertive and joyful\, discerning and full of possibility.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center South Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

An introvert by nature\, “space\,” and the preservation of personal space\, is immensely important to her. She encounters these spaces both indoors and out\, and she employs light and color to capture her emotional state relevant to the space. She works with oil and chalk pastel\, a medium that allows her to make tangible those moments that are fleeting and transitory. Cavanagh breaks down architectural elements into bold blocks of color\, creating an atmosphere of still quietude\, so critical to her creative process. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Corridor\, Floor 2.\n1500 E.

The landscape shrines in this exhibit combine her work as an environmental artist with the experience of that pristine\, remote\, beautiful\, and at risk environment. The mixed media boxes – utilizing painting\, monotype\, photography\, resin and encaustic – capture memories of places being altered by climate change. Meant to bring complex ideas and big emotions into a size one can literally hold in one’s hands\, the works have charred exteriors and bright colors and metal leaf echoing traditional Tibetan iconography in depicting the beauty and spiritual power of high places. \n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center South Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

After more than 20 years in the service and four tours in the Middle East\, he is now pursuing his passion in painting and 3D art. Lightheartedness\, quirkiness\, and a desire for freedom are his creatures’ main traits as they fly on nests\, sail on lakes\, or venture into outer space. Looking for autonomy on their way somewhere\, his boldly colored animal explorers\, tourists\, and misfits are uncaring about their surroundings and challenge expectations. They are out of their element due to circumstances beyond their control. One patient shared that for her\, Potter’s work symbolized the process of adapting to a diagnosis by transforming into someone stronger and wiser without losing who you really are.\n\nGifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby\, Floor 1. \n1500 E.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

Munich\, Germany\, is one of the cities many Syrian refugees land after crossing unofficial borders through different European countries. Lebanese artist Tania El Khoury\, and her art collective Dictaphone Group\, collaborated with a group of Syrian refugees who had recently arrived in Munich. El Khoury gave each of these participants/collaborators a discreet camera for a day\, their only instructions being to film their daily lives in Munich.

As distinct from symbols\, indexes establish their meaning along the axis of a physical relationship to their referents.”\nKrauss\, Rosalind\, “Notes on the Index” 1977\n\nNotes on the Index was Rosalind Krauss’s attempt to corral some of the divergent\, pluralistic themes in contemporary art of the late 1970’s under a unifying identifier: the index. Indexical art was defined as artworks whose physical and aesthetic manifestation was correlated and contingent upon specific conditions of the work’s subject matter or\, as more broadly described\, ‘the referent’ of the work.\n\nUnder the guise of “the index”\, the artist’s internal monologue of creative decision-making might follow like: “How big should the work be? As big as that.” “How much should the work cost? As much as this.” “What color should I use? The color of that.” “What shape should it be? It should be shaped like this.”\n\nFor this exhibition\, The Indexical Print\, Krauss’s notion of indexical art is being narrowed towards printmaking and other methods of image replication & reproduction that follow printmaking’s lead. The artists in this exhibition might work a plate\, or a digital image\, or computer code to conduct the idea of the image into another medium or visual representation to physically manifest their creative labor. \n\nFeatured in this exhibition are prints by Jay Fox\, Ruth Koelewyn & Lee Marchalonis\, 3D printed sculptures by Jason Ferguson\, jacquard weaving from Cathryn Amidei\, data visualizations by Jeffrey Lancaster and site-specific paintings from Ellen Rutt.\n\nAbout the Artists:\n\nCathryn Amidei is a “Textilian” fluent in many forms of textile craft. She has dedicated herself to Jacquard weaving for the past 15+ years and is the studio director at The Jacquard Center in Hendersonville North Carolina. Cathryn holds an MFA in Textiles from Eastern Michigan University and a BFA from the University of Illinois in Anthropology/Russian. She was Associate Professor at Eastern Michigan University until 2018\, when she resigned to pursue her art\, and independence. Cathryn is a member of the Washington Street Gallery in Ann Arbor\, Michigan.\n\nJason J Ferguson uses humor\, the uncanny\, and an absurdist voice to create public interventions\, performance\, video\, and sculptural objects. He was raised in the small town of Poolesville\, Maryland and moved to Baltimore to study art at Towson University and then to the University of Delaware where he received his MFA. Ferguson has exhibited his work internationally including exhibitions in Germany\, the Netherlands\, Brazil and across the US. Ferguson is an Associate Professor in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University.\n\nJay Fox is a printmaker\, papermaker\, and sculptor whose practice is guided by storytelling and objects of importance which take the form of ephemera and memorials. Originally from Morganton\, North Carolina\, Fox received his BFA in printmaking from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008. In 2014\, he received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Print and Narrative Forms. Jay is currently the press manager of the Small Craft Advisory Press at Florida State University after five years of working at Penland School of Craft as the Print\, Letterpress\, Books\, and Paper coordinator.\n\nRuth Koelewyn's work uses familiar objects and events to reveal how our interactions with them shape ourselves and our context for living. In addition to her solo work\, her practice includes both curatorial and collaborative projects. Ruth’s work is regularly exhibited and has been supported by the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts\, the Society of North American Goldsmiths\, the Mondriaan Foundation\, and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. She studied at Syracuse University and Cranbrook Academy of Art.\n#skyshapes\n\nJeffrey Lancaster has done a lot of different things and worn a number of very different hats: chemist\, artist\, historian\, librarian\, developer\, educator. He’s a curious person with a breadth and depth of interests and experiences\, and loves to bring that diversity of thought to bear on new problems\, some of his own making and some from other people. He has a BFA from Washington University\, an MS from Oxford\, and a PhD from Columbia University in chemistry. Lancaster is based in Rutherford\, NJ where he freelances as a product developer and educational & business consultant.

She was a recipient of a year long Stein Scholarship at the Center for Book Arts in New York City in 2013\, and her work is in Special Collections libraries throughout the U.S.\n\nEllen Rutt is a Detroit-based interdisciplinary artist and activist who has a BFA from the Stamps School of Art & Design. She makes bold mixed-media paintings\, murals\, installations and wearables. Her recent solo show ‘This Must Be The Place” was created in large part through a process of travelling the globe & capturing visual elements or ‘environmental mementos’ through direct tracing of the physical environment\, both natural & human-made. Rutt has exhibited her work nationally and most recently completed her second artist residency at Temple Children in Hilo\, Hawaii.\n\nAbout the Curator:\n\nAndrew Thompson is a sculptor and installation artist\, educator\, curator\, and musician based in Southwest Detroit.

The jackknife+ modifies the well-known jackknife (leave-one-out cross-validation) to account for the variability in the fitted regression function when we subsample the training data. Assuming exchangeable training samples\, we prove that the jackknife+ permits rigorous coverage guarantees regardless of the distribution of the data points\, for any algorithm that treats the training points symmetrically. Such guarantees are not possible for the original jackknife and we demonstrate examples where the coverage rate may actually vanish. Our theoretical and empirical analysis reveals that the jackknife and jackknife+ intervals achieve nearly exact coverage and have similar lengths whenever the fitting algorithm obeys some form of stability. We also extend to the setting of K-fold cross-validation. Our methods are related to cross-conformal prediction proposed by Vovk [2015] and we discuss connections. \n\nThis work is joint with Emmanuel Candes\, Aaditya Ramdas\, and Ryan Tibshirani.

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\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:58562-15784169@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58562 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies UID:63803-15884171@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63803 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Museum,Politics,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - A.

Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L.

With the increasing availability of high-dimensional\, streaming data in the industrial practice\, it is now possible to predict impending anomalies and breakdowns across a manufacturing plant much earlier\, and over considerably longer time horizons. Also\, with the increasing availability of large time-series data\, nonparametric machine learning approaches are becoming attractive for the prediction and prognosis of anomalies and breakdowns. This talk will overview three methods\, each aimed at addressing a particular challenge with anomaly detection in smart manufacturing processes.\nSpeaker Bio\nSatish T. S.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

Naturally\, this increased ability comes with increased complexity in planning and executing manipulation actions. As such\, I propose combining model-based planning with learned components to improve over purely data-driven or purely-model based approaches to manipulation.\n\nThis talk examines multi-fingered autonomous manipulation when the robot has only partial knowledge of the object of interest. I will first present results on planning multi-fingered grasps for novel objects using a learned neural network. I will then present our approach to planning in-hand manipulation tasks when dynamic properties of objects are not known. I will conclude with a discussion of our ongoing and future research to further unify these two approaches.\n\nTucker Hermans is an assistant professor in the School of Computing at the University of Utah\, where he is a founding member of the University of Utah Robotics Center.

What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography.

Recent changes in the fuel mix for electricity generation and\, in particular\, the increase in Gas-Fueled Power Plants (GFPP)\, have created significant interdependencies between the electric power and natural gas transmission systems. However\, despite their physical and economic couplings\, these networks are still operated independently\, with asynchronous market mechanisms. This mode of operation may lead to significant economic and reliability risks in congested environments as revealed by the 2014 polar vortex event experienced by the northeastern United States\; The scarcity of natural gas put the reliability of the electricity system at high risk and agitated its market. To mitigate these risks\, while preserving the current structure of the markets\, we explore the idea of introducing gas network awareness into the standard unit commitment model and propose a bilevel optimization problem. We developed a novel Benders subproblem decomposition technique that addresses the computational challenge in solving the bilevel problem. The model and the solution approach are validated on a case study for the Northeastern United States that can reproduce the gas and electricity price spikes experienced during the early winter of 2014. The results on the case study show that gas awareness in unit commitment is instrumental in avoiding the peaks in electricity prices while keeping the gas prices to reasonable levels and demonstrate that the developed solution method outperforms up-to-date commercial solvers and standard Benders method. This is based on a joint work with Dr. Pascal Van Hentenryck.\n\nBio:\nGeunyeong Byeon is a PhD candidate in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering (IOE) at the University of Michigan (U-M) where she is advised by Dr. Pascal Van Hentenryck.

This new era of galactic archeology and near-field cosmology demands a new generation of simulations that achieve high dynamic range to resolve scales of individual stellar populations within a cosmological context. I will describe the new Latte suite of massively parallelized cosmological zoom-in simulations\, run on the nation’s most powerful supercomputers\, that model the formation of Milky Way-like galaxies at parsec-scale resolution\, using the FIRE (Feedback in Realistic Environments) model for star formation and feedback. First I will discuss the formation of the Milky Way disk\, including resolving for the first time the dynamics and lifetimes of giant molecular clouds and stars clusters at z = 0. These simulations also self-consistently resolve the formation of satellite dwarf galaxies around each Milky Way-like host. These low-mass galaxies have presented significant challenges to the cold dark matter model\, but I will show progress in addressing the “missing satellites” and “too-big-to-fail” problems. Finally\, I will discuss synthetic Milky Way surveys that we have created from the Latte simulations\, which are publicly available\, to provide theoretical modeling insight for the era of Gaia.\n\nBio: Professor Wetzel is an assistant professor in the physics department and in the astrophysics and cosmology group at the University of California\, Davis. He is a theoretical/computational astrophysicist and cosmologist. Using the world’s most powerful supercomputers\, he generates cosmological simulations to model the formation of cosmic structures\, including galaxies and their stars. He uses these simulations as theoretical laboratories to develop and test models of galaxy formation\, stellar dynamics\, and the nature of dark matter\, with emphasis on our own Milky Way galaxy.

Offloading reduces reliance on internal representations and processes\, and can lead to improved performance in cognitively demanding tasks. While individuals of different ages may benefit from offloading cognitive demands\, this strategy may be especially useful for older adults to compensate for age-related cognitive declines and better meet the demands of everyday life. During my talk\, I will present what we have learned so far when examining younger and older adults’ offloading behavior (using reminders in a memory task)\, the effect of offloading on memory performance\, and factors associated with the decision to offload.

C.\, & N. Tokowicz\, 2014)\, bilingualism (Silva-Corvalán\, 1994\; Toribio\, 2004)\, trilingualism (Rothman\, 2010\, 2015\; Rothman & Cabrelli Amaro\, 2010\; Rothman et al.\, 2015) or multilingualism leading to language creation (Rougé\, 1986\; Kihm\, 1990\; Corne\, 1999)\, it is often (but not always!) the case that the features that the languages in contact have in common promote acquisition or language creation. More precisely\, the phonemes\, morphemes\, lexemes or syntactic structures that speakers perceive as being similar in the languages in contact\, what we will call here\, congruent features or domains\, are likely to be acquired more easily in L2 (or L3/L4...) or are more likely to contribute to the grammatical make-up (and lexicon) of the emerging language in the case of creole genesis.\n\nThis paper represents a first step in a long-term research program exploring how new languages emerge in a multilingual setting. It examines the role of convergence in Creole formation and development\, using a competition and selection framework. Specifically\, it illustrates how morphosyntactic and semantic features are more likely to be selected into the grammatical makeup of a given Creole when they preexist and are shared by some of the source languages present in its linguistic ecology. This is empirically supported in this paper by numerous case studies and a survey of congruent features in 20 contact languages across 19 grammatical and lexical domains. In order to show how convergence operates\, I propose an algorithm and a model of matter and pattern mapping\, adapted to the multilingual setting in which Creole languages emerge. In addition to a set of variables\, the model includes both the linguistic ecology (linguistic factors) and speakers' attitudes (non-linguistic factors) (Thomason\, 2001) to predict (in a non-deterministic fashion) the features that are more likely to win within a competition and selection framework (Mufwene\, 2001). It shows that even when a given feature is traceable to two or more sources\, it readily diverges from the original sources and is innovative. The paper also explores cases where convergence does not take place and examines the conditions underlying such outcome.

The first is that rocks can faithfully document the structure of the Earth’s magnetic field in recent and deep time. The second assumption is that the field recorded in rocks closely approximates a Geocentric Axial Dipole (GAD) field. If we are correct\, then the paleomagnetic record provides important information regarding the past geometry of continental distributions and possible connections to biological evolution. Furthermore\, the magnetic field shields the planet (and living organisms) from incoming solar and inter-galactic radiation. In this talk\, I will present two case studies that outline how paleomagnetic studies were used to evaluate important evolutionary changes. The first case study is from the Ediacaran where the Earth’s magnetic field appears to have undergone a lengthy interval of hyperactive reversals in the Ediacaran. Hyperactivity results in a decrease in the overall strength of the dipole field and a concomitant collapse of the ‘shield’ that protects the planet from incoming radiation. We suggest that prolonged interval with a weakened dipole caused the collapse of the Ediacaran habitat and set the stage for the Cambrian radiation. The second case study examines rapid changes in paleolatitude of the North China Block during the Late Jurassic. New paleomagnetic data from volcanic rocks indicate that East Asia moved from intermediate to lower latitudes during the Late Jurassic. That movement coincided with the aridification of East Asia and the demise of the Yanliao biota. The Yanlioa biota contain the first feathered dinosaurs\, eutherian mammals and a diverse entomofauna.

Spenser\, I argue\, offers a lush topography of corporeal temptation\; he is primarily concerned with how environments can pollute individuals. Milton\, by contrast\, is concerned both with the ways that environments can pollute individuals\, and the ways that individuals pollute environments. The landscapes of Spenser and Milton challenge individuals to manage their responses to sensuous environmental stimuli. While Spenser creates a lush paradisal garden that must be boisterously razed by a knight representing the virtue of Temperance\, Milton proposes that if humans behave temperately\, they might erect within themselves the infrastructure of a lost paradise.

Archaeological Fieldwork in Mexico and Peru\, 1961-2003: A Conversation with Jeffrey Parsons DESCRIPTION:Half a century ago\, when archaeologist Jeffrey R. Parsons began fieldwork in Mexico and Peru\, he could not know that many of the sites he studied were on the brink of destruction. The rural landscapes through which he traveled were\, in many cases\, destined to be plowed under and paved over. In his new book *Remembering Archaeological Fieldwork in Mexico and Peru\, 1961–2003*\, hundreds of photographs taken by Parsons give readers a chance to see archaeological sites that were hundreds or thousands of years old and have since vanished or been irrevocably altered. In this public interview\, Howard Tsai will speak to Dr. Parsons about the sites\, the people\, and the landscapes he had encountered during four decades of research in Latin America.\n \n Jeffrey Parsons served as the University of Michigan’s Curator of Latin American Archaeology in the Museum of Anthropology and a Professor in the Department of Anthropology from 1966 until his retirement from the University in 2006. Parsons served as Director of the Museum of Anthropology from 1983 to 1986. Jeff Parsons has been a fundamental innovator in regional studies of the early New World civilizations. He began his research career in the Valley of Mexico in 1963\, perfecting the technique of archaeological surface survey now used in many areas of the world. Working closely with Mexican colleagues\, his teams walked over almost every square kilometer of the Valley of Mexico that was not sealed by asphalt and concrete. The results were detailed reports on the settlement sites of every period from 1200 BC to AD 1520—more than 2500 hamlet\, village and town sites. These published data allowed archaeologists to address broader theoretical issues such as the roles of population growth\, irrigation\, and conflict. In 1975 Parsons introduced the regional archaeological approach to Peru\, undertaking a major survey in the Junin area of the central Andes\, which has recently been published as a major monograph. In 1998 he received the highest honor given New World archaeologists\, The Alfred V. Kidder Award from the American Anthropological Association.\n \n Howard Tsai is lecturer in the Program in International and Comparative Studies and the Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies at the University of Michigan. Dr. Tsai received his Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Michigan\, specializing in Peruvian archaeology. He has directed a team of archaeologists in excavating the 1000-year-old village of Las Varas in northern Peru. His works on labor organization\, pottery style\, and ethnic interaction have been published in academic journals and edited volumes. His upcoming book *Las Varas: Ritual and Ethnicity in the Ancient Andes *will be published by the University of Alabama Press.

The average realized cost of nuclear power plants built in the US was 3.18 times the planned cost. The industry has responded to these risks by employing various risk management practices to reduce the uncertainty associated with nuclear EPC projects. Some of these practices include streamlining the regulatory process with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (in the case of US reactors)\, standardizing designs\, and modularizing physical structures and components to improve construction and constructability. Although these risk-management processes have been put in place\, there are still considerable cost and schedule excursions that have occurred in the construction of recent nuclear power plant projects. Notably\, the Westinghouse Vogtle and V.C. Summer projects reported significant cost and schedule overruns to an extent that the Vogtle project required a significant government bailout and the V.C. Summer project was cancelled.\n\nSola Talabi\, will share his experience as the Westinghouse Risk Manager for the Engineering Procurement and Construction work scope for the Vogtle and V.C. Summer projects. Sola will explore the issue of cost and schedule overruns from the perspective of potentially overly optimistic targets and inadequacies in project execution. Sola will also provide recommendations on how to address these cost and schedule challenges for advanced reactor deployment. \n\nSpeaker: Sola Talabi\, Nuclear Industry Consultant\nSola Talabi has 19 years' experience in the nuclear industry\, with 14 years at Westinghouse Electric Company\, where he was  the Nuclear Power Plants Risk Manager\, and also the a member of the Westinghouse Intellectual Property and Innovation Committees. As Risk Manager\, Sola was responsible for risk  management of the Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear power plant fleet\, with deployments in China and the US. He was also responsible for managing risks on the Westinghouse scope of supply for plants in the UAE.\n\nSola’s risk responsibilities further included managing project development risk on the Westinghouse Small Modular Reactor. Sola currently leads Pittsburgh Technical\, which is a nuclear engineering practice that supports advanced nuclear deployment.\n\nSola holds the following degrees acquired at Carnegie Mellon University: a PhD in Engineering and Public Policy with a focus on risk management for large energy infrastructure projects\, an MBA with a customized focus on energy\, finance and operations\, and a M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering.

As AI moves from the research lab into the mass marketplace\, debates have shifted from the philosophical to the pragmatic. Expansive questions probing consciousness and creativity have taken a backseat to corporate concerns about efficiency\, price points\, and scale. Whether AI will surpass the ability of human creativity has become less pressing than whether AI-generated music can be copyright protected. Most notably\, to assuage anxieties sounded across the music world\, industry leaders have come to embrace collaboration as a model for how AI can enhance\, rather than replace\, human creativity. \n\nThis presentation explores the mechanics and theorizes the challenges of computer-human interactivity through the lens of singer/songwriter Taryn Southern’s I AM AI (2018)\, billed as the first AI pop album. Co-produced with cutting-edge software developed by AIVA\, Amper\, Google\, and IBM\, the album reveals how AI helps to extend\, automate\, and supplement Southern’s musical abilities while enabling her to maintain claims of artistic agency. Recent writings on virtuality and interactivity\, complemented by interviews with AI industry professionals and musicians who use AI\, reveal similarly productive tensions involving collaboration\, control\, credit\, and creative independence. Coming to terms with new forms of intelligence challenges us to explore how we characterize\, distinguish\, and understand musical relationships between human and virtual beings.

Some of the most significant impacts are in the domain of finance\, including financial markets\, financial services\, and the financial system more broadly. Autonomous agents have made major inroads through algorithmic trading in financial markets\, and AI methods are playing an increasing role in lending decisions and detecting financial malfeasance. Understanding the implications of AI for finance is important in its own right\, and as a case study for AI implications more broadly. Join Michael P. Wellman\, the Lynn A. Conway Collegiate Professor of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Michigan\, as he discusses Artificial Intelligence & finance\, focusing on:\n\nWhat are the ways that AI may impact finance: present and future?\nWhat are the benefits and risks of AI in finance? \nHow can we understand and regulate AI systems in finance?\nMichael P. Wellman received a PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1988 for his work in qualitative probabilistic reasoning and decision-theoretic planning. For the past 30 years\, his research has focused on computational market mechanisms and game-theoretic reasoning methods\, with applications in electronic commerce\, finance\, and cyber-security. He is a Fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence and the Association for Computing Machinery.\n\nProf. Rada Mihalcea\, Director of Michigan AI\, will moderate the discussion.
