Low-rank linear structure is one of the most flexible and efficient such models\, allowing efficient prediction\, inference\, and anomaly detection. However\, classical techniques for learning low-rank models assume your data have only minor corruptions that are uniform over samples. Modern research in optimization has begun to develop new techniques to handle realistic messy data — where data are missing\, have wide variations in quality\, and/or are observed through nonlinear measurement systems.\n\nIn this talk we will focus on two problems. In the first\, our data are heteroscedastic\, ie\, corrupted by one of several noise variances. This is common in problems like sensor networks or medical imaging\, where different measurements of the same phenomenon are taken with different quality sensing (eg high or low radiation). In this context\, learning the low-rank structure via PCA suffers from treating all data samples as if they are equally informative. We will discuss our theoretical results on weighted PCA and new algorithms for the non-convex probabilistic PCA formulation of this problem. In the second part of the talk we will extend the matrix completion problem to cases where the columns are points on low-dimensional nonlinear algebraic varieties. We discuss two optimization approaches to this problem\, one kernelized algorithm and one that leverages existing LRMC techniques on a tensorized representation of the data. We also provide a formal mathematical justification for the success of our method and experimental results showing that the new approach outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods for matrix completion in many situations.\n\nhttps://web.eecs.umich.edu/~girasole/?page_id=10\n\nThis seminar will be livestreamed via Zoom https://umich.zoom.us/j/94350208889\nThere will be a virtual reception to follow UID:80542-20738139@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/80542 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210126T175127 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210205T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210205T120000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Russian Conversation Club DESCRIPTION:Do you study Russian and want more opportunities to develop your speaking skills in a welcoming and low-stakes environment?

It remains unclear whether there are corresponding immunological rhythms that anticipate this microbial exposure. Here\, we show that the intestinal microbiota generates diurnal rhythms in innate immunity that synchronize with host feeding rhythms. Rhythmic expression of select antimicrobial proteins was driven by daily rhythms in epithelial attachment by segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB)\, a member of the mouse intestinal microbiota. Rhythmic SFB attachment was driven by the circadian clock through control of host feeding rhythms. Mechanistically\, rhythmic SFB attachment activated an immunological circuit involving type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3). This circuit triggered oscillations in epithelial STAT3 expression that produced rhythmic antimicrobial protein expression and caused resistance to intestinal bacterial infection to vary across the day-night cycle. Thus\, host feeding rhythms are synchronized with rhythms in intestinal innate immunity that anticipate exogenous microbial exposure.

How many of us block others from accessing spaces\, from being included and from experiencing belonging? There are some who know and feel justified in our actions. Some of us don’t even know that we do this. Others of us know it\, but do not know how to not do it. And there are more and more of us who do not yet know how\, but are taking steps to learn.\nThe Leading Inclusively Lab combines diversity\, equity\, and inclusion concepts with complexity and adult development ideas and practices. However\, rather than focus on particular frameworks\, we are attempting to facilitate a lived experience of what it means to lead and be led inclusively. The program is a lab where we dare to connect and stumble across our differences.\nIn this experiential session\, we will explore and experience some inclusive leadership competencies together. Three lessons from the Leading Inclusively Lab will be shared: (1) being grounded in and explicit about the case for diversity\, equity\, inclusion\, and belonging\; (2) fostering a space that invites\, recognizes\, and respects all kinds of social identity and cultural differences\; and (3) slowing down to love people publicly across their differences.\nThis workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff\, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.\nRegistration is required at https://myumi.ch/DE9AZ.\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.

Even today\, we can see how interconnected systems work in space….and the role that a strong space infrastructure – stretching from LEO to deep space – plays in successful missions. Along with aerospace engineering technologies\, innovations from other industries are being applied to space: additive manufacturing\, virtual reality\, artificial intelligence and autonomous systems…just to name a few. We are standing at another crossroads in human history as we venture deeper into space. At Boeing\, we are building the future. Follow our journey – and maybe even join us – as we connect\, protect\, explore and inspire the world.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nRaenaurd Turpin is the Chief Engineer of Boeing Commercial Satellite Systems and Common Products (CSCP). He also leads advanced satellite architecture development and technology insertion as the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) for Commercial Satellite Business Development. In 2018\, Raenaurd was recognized as Boeing Defense\, Space\, and Security (BDS) Engineer of the Year\, in addition to BEYA Black Engineer of the Year. As Chief Architect and System Engineering Lead for the O3b mPOWER campaign\, he led the team through a significant evolution of the design. Their efforts yielded increased efficiency (mass\, power\, operational complexity) and lower design complexity and risk\, all while aligning to the customer’s affordability target. As a result\, Boeing was awarded contracts to build seven satellites using this advanced digital payload design. Today\, the O3b mPower constellation is in production. Turpin has also performed as a Major Supplier Program Manager for National Security Programs. In addition to this program management role\, Raenaurd has also lead teams to develop the Next Generation of Wideband Global Satcom (WGS) Satellites and implement Ground-Based Anti-Jam Enhancements for the existing WGS constellation.\n\nTurpin has previously held roles in business capture as well as systems architecture & design\, and began his career at Boeing as a phased array antenna analyst and digital signal processing (DSP) subsystem engineer\, holding a patent for phased array calibration methodology. He received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering at Arizona State University in 1997\, played in the Rose Bowl as member of the PAC-10 Championship Football team\, and completed credentials towards MS in Electrical Engineering in 1999.

It explores themes of alternative histories\, archives\, Black identity\, collective memory\, storytelling\; meshing performance and performativity\, and the interplay of the oral and aural in one’s experience of the world. An undercurrent of movement explored in multiple variations thread the works together\, realized through a variety of methods including painterly gesture\, repetitive mark-making\, performance with an audience or without\, spoken word\, ambient sound\, and reimagined instruments. The exhibition aspires to pull at the loosened threads of a social fabric in crisis\, revealing larger complex histories and art discourses\, nationally and internationally\, framed through the experiences and trajectories of Stamps alumni during their time in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication that will include interviews with each of the alumni artists conducted by current Stamps’ student and exhibition co-curator Moteniola Ogundipe.\n\nStory\, Word\, Sound\, Sway is co-curated by Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan and Moteniola Ogundipe.\n\n \n\nImage: Levester Williams\, “Shift\, Sift\, Swoosh Bods\,” 2018\, (detail\, video still) HD video\, color\, four audio channels\; 17 minutes 33 seconds (full length).

In order to compare and contrast to what\nhappens to black holes in asymptotically flat space it is imperative to\nunderstand whether the non-gravitating bath is just some external\nspectator or actively changes the physics in this system. Equivalently\,\none can wonder to what extent the results generalize to the case of a\ngravitating bath. We use Randall-Sundrum braneworlds\, and their\nholographic interpretation\, to answer this important question.

Despite their relevance these deposits comprise an ill-defined clan with a broad range of different genetic models that impact proper exploration. Within this scenario geochemical proxies have proven to be a more successful tool for characterizing IOCG deposits\, focusing on pyrite\, magnetite and more recently actinolite. The chemical and isotopical variations of these minerals provide unique information on the hydrothermal fluid composition\, source and temperature variations. The results that will be shown suggest that IOCG deposits form through a complex story of episodic pulsing\, focusing and cooling of hydrothermal fluids.

To avoid saying something in the wrong language by mistake\, bilinguals need to engage language control mechanisms (in the most widely accepted view\, inhibition of the non-target language: Green\, 1998). Understanding language control is necessary to understand the potential sources of the widely-discussed bilingual mental and neural adaptations (aka “the bilingual advantage”)\, but currently there are a lot of open questions. In this talk\, I will examine whether language control mechanisms are specific to bilinguals or are wider-application mechanisms for interference resolution\; whether language control is applied only once after a language switch or all the time\; and whether it is limited to lexico-semantic information or also functions over structural representations. Finally\, I will present work showing for the first time how language control manifests in spontaneous connected speech\, and will discuss how such work can help constrain theories of bilingual “mental juggling”.

Contrast this with moments in 2016\, when African American NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick  knelt quietly and peacefully during the Star-Spangled Banner. These gestures\, both related to the National anthem\, varied widely in action\, perception\, and meaning. These differences\, rooted in the racial and racist history of the United States\, draw attention to the very notion of a national anthem. Long before Kaepernick\, Black folks in the United States have been questioning this song that was written by a slave-holding anti-abolitionist. These same questions should apply in African countries as well. How have national anthems been used to reinforce or dilute national pride in African countries.  Often these songs are sonic reflections of the colonized past\, a great irony given the troubled relationships between these countries and their colonial “masters.” This presentation explores the complex relationship between official national anthems and black folks\, and considers alternative songs that Africans and African Americans have embraced as a way of authoring their own sense of national identity and challenging enduring systems of oppression.\n \nSpeaker Bio: \nStephanie Shonekan is Associate Dean of the College of Arts & Science and Professor of Music at the University of Missouri. In 2003\, she earned a PhD in Ethnomusicology and Folklore with a minor in African American Studies from Indiana University.

Through a varied practice utilizing sculpture\, performance\, video\, and activism\, Reyes explores the power of individual and collective organization to incite change through communication\, creativity\, happiness\, and humor. He designs ongoing projects that propose playful solutions to social problems. From turning guns into musical instruments\, to hosting a People’s United Nations to address pressing concerns\, to offering ecologically-friendly grasshopper burgers from a food cart\, Reyes transforms existing problems into ideas for a better world. In the artist’s hands\, complex subjects like political and economic philosophies are reframed in ways that are easy to understand\, such as a puppet play featuring Karl Marx and Adam Smith fighting over how to share cookies.\n\nIn 2008\, Reyes initiated the ongoing Palas por Pistolas where 1\,527 guns were collected in Mexico through a voluntary donation campaign to produce the same number of shovels to plant 1\,527 trees. This led to Disarm (2012)\, where 6\,700 destroyed weapons were transformed into a series of musical instruments. In 2011\, Reyes initiated Sanatorium\, a transient clinic that provides short unexpected treatments mixing art and psychology. Originally commissioned by the Guggenheim Museum in New York City\, Sanatorium went on to many international iterations.
