SUMMARY:Other:Poetry Blast!
DESCRIPTION:Complete details at https://lsa.umich.edu/humanities/programs/2022-poetry-blast.html.\n\nApril is National Poetry Month\, the largest literary celebration in the world. This year we're joining the tens of millions of readers\, students\, teachers\, librarians\, booksellers\, publishers\, families\, and\, of course\, poets\, in marking poetry's important place in our lives. Our goal is for everyone in our community to read a poem\, write a poem\, or listen to a poem in April. Why? As editor and teacher Alice Osborn said\, \"Poetry is like the Windex on a grubby car window—it bares open the vulnerabilities of human beings so we can all relate to each other a little better.\"\n\nHow to Get Involved\n\nNoon Poems\nTake a few minutes to listen to a poem. Every weekday at noon in April\, our Youtube channel will feature a U-M faculty member reading one of their poems. Videos will also be archived for those who wish to listen later. If you'd like to receive a daily reminder in your inbox\, sign up here: http://eepurl.com/hrZTGv. \n\nPrompt a Poem!—A Daily April Poetry Challenge\nCreative expression through poetry for everyone! Every weekday in April\, people from all walks of life can unite behind a common prompt by writing a poem. Sign up here to receive the daily prompts in your inbox\, or look here where we will list them. Many thanks to Laura Kasischke for creating the prompts and collaborating on Prompt a Poem.\n\nPop-Up Poems\nStroll around campus and read a poem! We've teamed up with Michigan Quarterly Review to make poetry part of the campus landscape. Look for poems all over campus in windows\, on the diag\, on buses\, and more.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:How to Build a Disaster Proof House
DESCRIPTION:Artist Tracey Snelling’s *How to Build a Disaster Proof House* contemplates the uncertainty\, displacement\, and disenfranchisement that frames the present day. How do we find a safe place\, protected from bad weather and circumstance\, in an era of floods\, fires\,violence\, abuse and pandemics? \n\nSnelling finds a route for escape by constructing big and small sculptural worlds\, private and public. \n\nSnelling is at U-M this winter term as the current Roman Witt Artist in Residence. During her residency\, the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and its Osterman Common Room will function as a “laboratory\,” or open studio\, where visitors can see the artist’s creative process as the installation evolves\, and the rooms change\, debunking any presumptive myth of permanence. \n\nSnelling’s pop aesthetic incorporates prefab objects\, bright colors\, light\, video\, and sound. The work is disarming in its exuberance\, reassuring us there is no such thing as a zombie under the bed\, while at the same time\, making room to process the very real and unsettling world in which we live. \n\nThrough workshops guided by Snelling\, U-M students and others from our local and outlying communities will create small-scale rooms or dwellings…”a room of one’s own” reflective of their personal feelings and ideas about home\, safety\, and dreams. \n\nThe experience of crafting together articulates the fundamental importance of our relationship to one another. The myriad of rooms will be displayed ongoing in the Osterman Common Room\, as well as becoming part of an installation on wheels\, a mobile unit meant to travel throughout town.\n\nThe mobile installation contemplates how we measure our sense of belonging\, or where we come from\, in a world of ongoing transitions and migrations. \n\nSnelling’s project fosters belonging despite all of the different ways we live and co-exist\, beyond structures and times of remoteness. Concurrently\, the installation embraces our everyday existence and the power of our individual and collective imagination. \n\nIn her previous 2017 Institute for the Humanities Gallery exhibition *Here and There*\, Snelling pushed up against the challenges of economic inequities\, racial biases\, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people. \n\n “The ongoing lack of affordable health care\, systematic racism\, class division\, economic downturn\, and the impacts of climate change all contribute to global poverty and housing issues…\,\" states Snelling. \"By working on this project with U-M students and communities regionally\, I hope to not only raise awareness of housing precarity but also be responsive together as a community...to the challenges facing our fellow citizens.”\n\n-Amanda Krugliak Arts Curator\n\nThe overall project *How To Build a Disaster Proof House* is curated by Amanda Krugiak\, Arts Curator and Assistant Director of Arts Programming at the Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with Chrisstina Hamilton\, Director of the Roman Witt Residency Program at the Stamps School. Tracey Snelling is the Stamps 2022 Roman Witt Artist in Residence.\n\nThe project has included workshops with groups across the U-M campus and further afield in the regional community at spaces including the Ann Arbor Art Center (A2AC)\, The Shelter Association of Washtenaw County at the Robert J. Delonis Center and Freighthouse Day Shelter\, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti\; and shelter for New Americans in Hamtramck. Thanks to U-M student and Delonis caseworker Alexzandra McCrum\, A2AC Gallery Director Ashley Miller\, Stamps MDes students and Stamps professor Nick Tobier for all of your guidance and help facilitating these outreach engagements.\n\nThe Disaster Proof mobile unit will be exhibited at the 60th Ann Arbor Film Festival in the Michigan Theater\, Tuesday March 22 - Sunday March 27\, 2022. Snelling’s short film A Poem is a City\, created in collaboration with Arthur Debert\, will be in competition as part of this year’s AAFF programming. A *Disaster Proof* community installation will appear at the Ann Arbor Art Center beginning in mid-April in connection with the A2AC Gallery’s inaugural exhibition\, *Sharing Space* (May 20 - July 8\, 2022).

SUMMARY:Presentation:Statistical Learning for Latent Attribute Models
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nLatent variable models are popularly used in unsupervised learning to uncover the unobservable latent structures underlying observed  data and have seen great successes in representation learning in many applications and scientific disciplines. Latent attribute models\,  also known as cognitive diagnosis models or diagnostic classification models\, are a special family of discrete latent variable models that  have been widely applied in modern psychological and biomedical research with diagnostic purposes. Despite the wide usage in various  fields\, the models' discrete nature and complex restricted structures pose many new challenges for efficient learning and statistical  inference. Moreover\, with large-scale item and subject pools emerging in modern educational and psychological measurements\,  efficient algorithms for uncovering latent structures of both items and subjects are desired. This dissertation studies four important  problems that arise in this context. \n\nThe first part develops novel methodologies and efficient algorithms to learn the latent and hierarchical structures in latent attribute  models. Specifically\, researchers in many applications are interested in hierarchical structures among the latent attributes\, such as  prerequisite relationships among target skills in educational settings. However\, in most cognitive diagnosis applications\, the number of  latent attributes\, the attribute-attribute hierarchical structures\, the item-attribute dependence structure\, as well as the item-level  diagnostic model\, need to be fully or partially pre-specified\, which however may be subjective and misspecified as noted by many recent studies. In this part\, we consider the problem of jointly learning these latent quantities and hierarchical structures from  observed data with minimal model assumptions. A penalized likelihood approach is proposed for joint learning\, an Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm is developed for efficient computation\, and statistical consistency theory is established under mild conditions. \n\nThe second part generalizes the methodologies in part I to simultaneously infer the subgroup structures of both subjects and items. We  consider model-based co-clustering algorithms and aim to automatically select the numbers of clusters and uncover latent block  structures. Specifically\, based on latent block models\, we propose a penalized co-clustering approach which is capable of learning the  numbers of clusters and inner block structures simultaneously. An efficient EM algorithm has been developed and comprehensive simulation studies demonstrate its superiority. \n\nThe third part concerns the important yet unaddressed problem of testing the latent hierarchical structures in latent attribute models.  In specific\, testing the hierarchical structures is shown to be equivalent to testing the sparsity structure of the proportion parameter  vector. However\, due to the irregularity of the problem\, the asymptotic distribution of the popular likelihood ratio test becomes  nonstandard and tends to provide unsatisfactory finite sample performance under practical conditions.To tackle these challenges\, we  discuss the conditions of testability issues\, provide statistical understandings of the failures\, and propose a practical resampling-based  procedure. \n\nThe fourth part introduces a unified estimation framework to bridge the gap between parametric and nonparametric methods in  cognitive diagnosis\, to better understand their relationship. In particular\, a number of parametric and nonparametric methods for  estimating latent attribute models have been developed and applied in a wide range of contexts. However\, in the literature\, a wide  chasm exists between these two families of methods\, and their relationship to each other is not well understood. Driven by this divide\,  we propose a unified framework and provide both theoretical analysis and practical recommendations in various cognitive diagnosis  contexts.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Thesis Defense: Byoungwook Jang
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\n \n\nDecomposition models for understanding mean and covariance structures from high-dimensional data have attracted a lot of attention in recent years. This thesis visits selected machine learning problems with applications in topic modeling\, neuroimaging\, and experimental designs and tackles challenges in these applications by incorporating decomposable structures. \n\nThe first part of the thesis looks into the statistical learning problems for the applications with decomposable mean structures\, namely topic modeling and multi-spectral imaging. The goal of topic modeling and multi-spectral unmixing is to decompose the spectrum for each document (or pixel) in the corpus (or the image of a scene) to find latent topics (or spectrums of materials present in multi-spectral images). In topic modeling applications\, the number of latent variables is a lot less than the ambient dimension. This allows us to estimate the topic simplex with the geometric approach by minimizing the volume of the topic polytope. In our second application\, we aim to trace neurons present in multi-spectral images\, called Brainbow images\, which capture individual neurons in the brain and allow researchers to distinguish different neurons based on unique com binations of fluorescent colors. Brainbow images\, however\, have an over-defined problem as the number of unique neuron color combinations is greater than the number of spectral channels. Thus\, we reformulate the neuron tracing problem as a hidden Markov model with underlying neuronal processes as latent variables to decompose the observed Brainbow images into individual neurons. \n\nThe second part of the thesis studies the decomposition of covariance models for tensor-variate data to introduce a scalable and interpretable structure. In the tensor-variate analysis\, the observed data often exhibit spatio-temporal structure\, and it is desirable to simultaneously learn partial cor relation for each mode of the tensor data. However\, estimating the unstructured covariance model for tensor-variate data scales quadratically in terms of the product of all dimensions of the tensor. Instead\, we introduce a Kronecker sum model for the square root factor of the precision matrix. This model assumption results in a decomposable covariance matrix motivated by a well-known Sylvester equation. \n\nFor the last part of the thesis\, we visit the linear contextual bandit problem with missing values to understand the effect of missing probabilities on the cumulative regret\, showing that the regret degrades due to missingness by at most the square of minimum sampling probability. By separating the missing values from the context vectors in the covariance model\, we can estimate the linear parameter over time without explicitly imputing the missing values. Our method is ap plied to the experimental design for collecting gene expression data by sequentially selecting class discriminating DNA probes.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:UKRAINIAN SISTERS
DESCRIPTION:UKRAINIAN SISTERS\, an exhibition of drawings by Ukrainian artists Lesia Kulchynska and Kateryna Lysovenko that reflect their experience of war\, is on view in the Art &amp\; Architecture building (west wall of first floor) through April 30.\nThe series of drawings by Lesia Kulchynska (\"War Diary\") and Kateryna Lysovenko (\"Dictator&#039\;s Food\") was made during the first month of Russian military invasion in Ukraine. These drawings reflect their experience of war.\nJoin Stamps MFA student and curator Oksana Briukhovetska at the reception Tuesday\, April 12\, at 5pm: you will hear more about artists\, who are now refugees in Europe with their children. You can provide feedback that will be send back to artists\, and to discuss the questions: How can art express horrors of the war? Can we understand them without having such experience? Can finally art be helpful to enhance sympathy?\nLesia Kulchynska\, PhD\, born in 1984\, is a Kyiv-based art curator and visual studies researcher affiliated with the Research Platform of the Pinchuk Art Center. She teached cultural studies at the Kyiv Academy of Media Arts\, worked as a curator at the Visual Culture Research Center and Set Independent Art Space (Kyiv). In 2018-19 was a Fulbright Scholar residing at New York University. Her research interests are the theory and history of the image and the theory of cinema.\nKateryna Lysovenko\, Artist\, born in 1989\, graduated from Odesa Hrekov Arts College\, National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture (Kyiv) and Kyiv Academy of Media Arts. In her artworks\, she addresses the topic of violence which is oftentimes caused by political\, religious and ideological oppression. Worked and lived in Kyiv.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Special Seminar: Epidemiology at the interface of ecology and evolution
DESCRIPTION:The central organizing principle of infectious disease epidemiology is that the patterns of the occurrence of illness within and between populations are explainable by factors attributable to the host\, agent\, and environment. This is the so-called epidemiological trinity. In this talk I will discuss how epidemiological science has been enriched by increasingly embracing methods from evolutionary biology and ecology\, and how realization of a modern pandemic science requires traditional boundaries between disciplines to be dissolved. First\, I will illustrate how phylodynamic methods have provided a new view of old\, unresolved questions in the epidemiology of HIV. From there I will talk about both the confounding and illuminating role of genetic diversity focusing on within-host diversity in chronic viral infections that can act both as noise and as a type of epidemiological signal. These points will be further illustrated by consideration of recombination as a potential confounding variable in epidemiological studies. Finally\, I will discuss two of our ongoing studies that illustrate this new kind of pandemic science: one that attempts to integrate multi-scale (intracellular and epidemiological) dynamics of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in Turkey and Tajikistan with longitudinal field sampling of ticks from small mammals\, ungulates\, birds in regions with human cases of CCHFV. The second study looks to the future by using the DOE’s Earth System Model to project high-resolution climate change scenarios to predict the future landscape for mosquito borne diseases globally.
