SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"I have a crisis for you\": Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War
DESCRIPTION:An exhibit curated by Grace Mahoney and Jessica Zychowicz\nFeaturing work by Kinder Album\, JT Blatty\, Oksana Briukhovetska (MFA\, Stamps School of Art and Design)\, Oksana Kazmina\, Sonya Hukaylo\, Svetlana Lavochkina\, Kateryna Lisovenko\, and Lyuba Yakimchuk.\n   \nIn February 2022\, the world witnessed the invasion of Ukraine and all-out war of aggression by the Russian Federation. Since this time\, massive casualties\, human rights violations\, and an unprecedented refugee crisis have ensued. Women artists of Ukraine have responded. They paint on found materials in refugee housing\, illustrate in bomb shelters\, photograph their shelled cities wearing press passes and bulletproof jackets. They document\, create\, and share. They post their daily journals and images on social media. They perform at the Grammy Awards. They know their message is powerful\, and the amplification of their voices is critical for victory in a very real battle for survival.\n   \nCurated by Grace Mahoney (U-M Slavic Languages and Literatures) and Jessica Zychowicz\, Ph.D. (Fulbright Ukraine and U-M Alumna)\, \"'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War\" showcases work created by women artists in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine. The involved artists are painters\, photographers\, filmmakers\, poets\, translators\, and textile artists. Many of the works exhibited demonstrate a continuity of engagement by the artists with the topic of war\, especially since 2014 when the people of Ukraine gathered in a “Revolution of Dignity” against attempts by the Russian Federation to control the country’s independence resulting in Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and backing of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine’s east.\n   \nThe featured artists have also been selected because of their prominent interest and exploration of issues relating to gender in their works. The title for this exhibit comes from a poem of the same name by Lyuba Yakimchuk:\n“— our love’s gone missing\, I explain to a friend/ it vanished in one of the wars/ we waged in our kitchen/ — change the word ‘war’ to ‘crisis\,’ he suggests/ because a crisis is something everyone has from time to time.”\n   \nLike in Yakimchuk’s poem\, many of these artists approach the war with personal perspectives. They intertwine\, juxtapose\, and disrupt experiences of war with the intimacies of personal relationships\, the workings interior lives\, and perceptions of social roles. The featured artworks and documents engage a range of subjects from women volunteering as combatants to the processes of grieving and reflect ongoing discourses in Ukrainian feminist scholarship.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Portraits of Feminism in Japan
DESCRIPTION:What is feminism in Japan? Rather than imagining it as a singular\, coherent object\, this exhibit seeks to introduce the diversity\, difference\, and complexity inherent in feminist activism in Japan. As in other cultural contexts\, “feminism” in Japan can invoke sharply different associations\, from office workers trying to reshape taken-for-granted structures of power and authority\, to mothers advocating for safer school lunches after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disasters\, and queer couples seeking legal recognition for the families they have created. Mainstream feminist activism in Japan has focused on advocating for change in families\, workplaces\, schools\, political institutions\, and laws\, among many other contexts. Many ­– but certainly not all – feminist activists in Japan are also responding to the lasting legacies of Japanese colonial projects\, working toward recognition\, repair\, and meaningful reparations for racial and gender-based violence that continue to impact communities disproportionately.\n\nThis exhibit features original portraits of feminists who have shaped the landscape of women's and gender rights in Japan and beyond. Created by nine contemporary artists in Japan and the United States\, the portraits and accompanying texts challenge simplistic understandings of \"feminism\" while also drawing attention to a diversity of experiences\, needs\, and activism within Japan. This exhibit also spotlights the history of Japanese studies at the University of Michigan in conjunction with the Center for Japanese Studies' 75th anniversary celebration. \n\n“Portraits of Feminism in Japan” is open for viewing M-F 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.\n\nFeatured artists:\nElaine Cromie\, JenClare B. Gawaran\, Takatoshi Hayashi\, ivokuma (いぼくま)\, Nami Kaneko (金子奈美)\, Kang Jungsook\, Lisa Taka Miyagi\, Nancy Nishihira (西平・ナンシー)\, and Shigeki Shibata (柴田滋紀)\n\nCuration team: \nAllison Alexy\,  Bradly Hammond\, Grace Mahoney\, and Alexandria Molinari

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces
DESCRIPTION:Traces explores the relationship between the past and the present with a focus on the process of transformation as the connecting thread. The work consists of a series of collages and a collection of Polaroids that are accompanied by animations and video clips seen solely through the use of an augmented reality application (Virtual Mutations).\n\nThe scenarios presented in the static images act as literal stages for animated narratives. What once was a captured single moment echoes into motion\, creating an additional layer as to what will come thereafter. A dialogue between the past and the present is established and the app itself acts as a mediator between these tenses\, allowing the observer to have a glimpse of the afterthought\, that range from digital collages to Polaroid instant film.\n\nAbout the Artist\nCamila Magrane is a multimedia artist originally from Caracas\, Venezuela. Having a father from the U.S. and a mother from Venezuela\, she grew up alternating between both countries. Being fully exposed to two different cultures gave her a greater understanding of what it means to have various perspectives. After graduating from film school in Caracas\, she moved to San Francisco where she freelanced as an editor and camera operator. After discovering a passion for video games and interactive media\, Magrane obtained a BS in computer science with a concentration in game development. This eventually led her to working in the game industry as a cinematic artist.\n\nMagrane has been pursuing a professional career as a multimedia artist since 2017\, working within a variety of mediums\, from photography and collage to animation and virtual/augmented reality (AR). She has been most noted for the creation of her AR image-based work where she’s established a postmodern aesthetic by combining traditional darkroom techniques with the use of digital tools.\n\nPrior to her career in the arts\, Magrane worked as a community organizer and teacher\, creating and managing a curriculum for teaching 3rd-6th graders coding skills in public schools in Caracas\, Venezuela. She continues to be active in community work by giving talks and workshops revolving around the topics of art\, technology\, and the use of AR as a creative medium.\n\nCamila Magrane has exhibited work internationally in numerous exhibitions\, event spaces\, fairs\, and festivals. Selected exhibitions & clients include The Academy of Sciences\, The Exploratorium\, Themes+Projects Gallery\, Minnesota Street Project\, MUKEK\, Gray Area\, Sothebys\, and Adobe. Selected press inquiries include Forbes\, Adobe Blog\, Refinery29\, Lenscratch\, Las Vegas Weekly\, Las Vegas Review Journal\, and Open Studios Guide.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Hazy Oracles in Deep Learning
DESCRIPTION:Chair: Jason Corso\n\nIn person in FRB 2300 and on Zoom:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/95963594618\nPasscode: HAZY\n\nAbstract:\nWhile deep learning problems are often motivated as enabling technologies for human-computer interaction---a support robot\, for example\, must align natural language referents and sensor readings to operate in a human world---assumptions of these works make them poorly suited to real-world human interaction. Specifically\, evaluation typically assumes that humans are oracles that provide semantically correct and unambiguous information\, and that all such information is equally useful. While this is enforced in controlled experiments via carefully curated datasets\, models operating in the wild will need to compensate for the fact that humans are hazy oracles that may provide information that is incorrect\, ambiguous\, or misaligned with the features learned by the model. For example: given a choice of three mugs\, a robot would not be able to satisfy a request to retrieve the mug\, but would be able to retrieve the orange mug.\n\nA natural question follows: how can we use deep learning models trained via the oracle assumption with hazy humans? We answer this question via a method we call deferred inference\, which allows models trained via supervised learning to solicit and integrate additional information from the human when necessary. Deferred inference begins with a method for determining if the model should defer inference and wait until more human-provided information is provided. While past work has generally simplified this into one of two questions: is the human-provided information correct? or is the output correct? We find that these approaches are insufficient due to the complex relationship between human inputs\, sensor readings\, and deep models: low-quality human-provided information may not cause error\, while high-quality human-provided information may not correct it. To address the misalignment between input and output error\, we introduce Dual-loss Additional Error Regression\, or DAER\, a method that successfully locates instances where a new human input can reduce error.\n\nAlthough introduction of such an effective deferral function is necessary to optimize the trade-off between human effort and error\, we must additionally consider that the deferral response is also subject to the effects of hazy oracles. For this reason\, we must not only consider how to find error caused by human input but also how to integrate deferral responses and measure the performance of the team. For this\, we introduce aggregation functions that allow us to integrate information across multiple inferences and a novel evaluation framework that measures the trade-off between error and additional human effort. Through this evaluation\, we show that we can reduce error by up to 48% under a reasonable level of human effort without any changes to training or architecture.\n\nLast\, we consider how shifting from a dataset-based evaluation to an individual human affects deferred inference. Specifically\, whereas crowdsourced datasets work well for rapid implementation and evaluation of deferral and aggregation functions\, they do not accurately model human-computer interaction: the mechanisms used to procure high-quality data cause shifts in the distribution\, and the failure to track the inputs of individual annotators makes the tacit assumptions that all humans are the same\, and inputs do not change over time or deferral depth. Through a human-centered experiment\, we find that these assumptions are not true: an ideal deferral function must be calibrated for a specific user\, users learn the model over time\, and the deferral response is likely to be of lower quality than the initial query. Despite this mismatch with crowdsourced evaluation\, we find that using our proposed deferral and aggregation functions can still reduce error in practice.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:[Rackham] You Don't Belong Here: The Stories Our Systems Tell (and Why We Have to Disrupt Them)
DESCRIPTION:Many universities message extensively around their commitments to diversity\, equity\, and inclusion. These institutional assertions are often called into question\, though\, by the stories of members of the higher education community who continue to face marginalization and othering within their professional and educational spaces. This session centers around an embodied case study depicting one woman’s reflections on her experiences of higher education and her interactions with a range of systems that sent a persistent message that she didn’t belong\, that she would never truly be a part of her university community. Through session activities\, participants will consider how these messages manifest and why they continue to occur despite the extensive labor of individuals sincerely committed to advancing equity.In this session\, participants will:Consider the way that stories of non-belonging and exclusion are perpetuated in the U.S. education system.\nUnpack the differences between individual action and systems level change.\nBrainstorm improvements at the systems level.\nThe session length is 90 minutes. You Don't Belong Here is offered only in a fully virtual\, synchronous format.\n**The theatrical portion of this session contains strong language. It includes explicit descriptions of racist and classist behaviors and the impact of systemic inequities on individuals and communities.\nThis workshop is designed for University of Michigan master's students\, doctoral students\, and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff\, please contact rackhampdeworkshops@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCED Lecture. Authoritarian Populism in Everyday Life: Contemporary Turkey
DESCRIPTION:The last two decades mark a continuous growth of authoritarian populism globally. What effects does authoritarian populism have on daily interactions? How do historically vulnerable social groups experience and respond to these effects? This presentation will explain how people negotiate the boundary-shifting effects of authoritarian populism in daily life and the mechanisms of intensifying civilian disciplinary actions in step with institutionalized authoritarian populism and formal state repression\, focusing on Turkey.\n   \nBasak Gemici is a WCED Postdoctoral Fellow for 2022-24. She is a political sociologist whose research focuses on regime change\, authoritarian populism\, and conflict in everyday life using feminist research practice. She received her Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Pittsburgh in 2022\, where she also completed doctoral certificates in Gender\, Women\, and Sexuality Studies and Cultural Studies. Basak is currently working on her book project\, “Authoritarian Populism and Conflict in Daily Life\,” based on field research in Turkey between 2017 and 2019. Drawing on ethnographic data from urban bus rides and interviews\, she investigates the gendered\, ethno-racial\, and spatial organization of authoritarian populism in everyday life.\n   \nBasak is also a research affiliate at the Gender Inequality Research Lab (GIRL)\, University of Pittsburgh\, and the Collaboratory Against Hate Research and Action Center\, a co-initiative of Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh.\n\nThis lecture will be presented in person in 555 Weiser Hall and on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:You Don’t Belong Here: The Stories Our Systems Tell (and Why We Have to Disrupt Them)
DESCRIPTION:Many universities message extensively around their commitments to diversity\, equity\, and inclusion. These institutional assertions are often called into question\, though\, by the stories of members of the higher education community who continue to face marginalization and othering within their professional and educational spaces. This session centers around an embodied case study depicting one woman’s reflections on her experiences of higher education and her interactions with a range of systems that sent a persistent message that she didn’t belong\, that she would never truly be a part of her university community. Through session activities\, participants will consider how these messages manifest and why they continue to occur despite the extensive labor of individuals sincerely committed to advancing equity.\nIn this session\, participants will:\n\nConsider the way that stories of non-belonging and exclusion are perpetuated in the U.S. education system\nUnpack the differences between individual action and systems-level change\nBrainstorm improvements at the systems level\n\nThe session length is 90 minutes. You Don’t Belong Here is offered only in a fully virtual\, synchronous format.\n**The theatrical portion of this session contains strong language. It includes explicit descriptions of racist and classist behaviors and the impact of systemic inequities on individuals and communities.\nThis workshop is designed for University of Michigan master’s students\, doctoral students\, and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff\, please contact rackhampdeworkshops@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.\nRegistration is required at https://myumi.ch/y9Dey.\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events. If an accommodation would promote your full participation in this event\, please follow the registration link to indicate your accommodation requirements. Please let us know as soon as possible in order to have adequate time\, preferably one week\, to arrange for your requested accommodations or an effective alternative.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Closing the loop: How sensation impacts prosthetic function and control
DESCRIPTION:Chair: Deanna Gates\n\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/i/98139244180\n\nAbstract:\nThe loss of an arm can lead to a loss in both dexterity and sensation. Sensation is critical in closing the motor control loop\, making fine adjustments\, and identifying object properties\, however effective sensory feedback is absent from most modern prosthetic devices. Additionally\, despite the importance of sensation the literature is sparse on how to quantify and communicate how different prosthetic arms provide their users with sensory feedback. In this dissertation\, I sought to develop tools for quantifying and communicating sensation\, and applying these tools to characterize sensory feedback enabled via the stimulation of regenerative peripheral nerve interfaces (RPNIs). I started by building a protocol for directly comparing the availability of sensory feedback between individuals using anatomical and prosthetic limbs through their interactions with a simulated object. I then conducted a systematic literature review of methods of electrical stimulation for the purpose of referring sensory feedback to the phantom limb\, analyzing trends in methodologies and outcome measures.\n\nI applied the findings of this review in characterizing RPNI-enabled sensation in four individuals with upper limb amputation.\n\nTo assess the utility of RPNI-enabled sensation in an actual task\, I developed a virtual reality environment for testing bi-directional prosthetic function. Through these investigations\, I empirically confirmed previous anecdotal  evidence that sensory feedback\, particularly force feedback\, is more available to individuals using a body-powered prostheses compared to those using myoelectric prostheses. I determined that the current state of the field uses heterogeneous methodologies that make it difficult to compare results between studies\, and recommended guidelines for future research.\n\nFinally\, I determined that not only do RPNIs provide sensory feedback that is referred to the phantom hand and consistent over time\, but that RPNI-enabled sensory feedback has the potential to improve prosthetic function and positively alter an individual's perception of their phantom limb. These findings support previous literature on the importance of sensation for the improvement of prosthetic function and satisfaction in individuals\, and encourage future research into the utility of RPNI-enabled sensation. This work also provides future researchers with several tools that ideally make studying sensation in prosthesis users more approachable\, in order to accelerate progress toward a prosthesis that can provide users with naturalistic sensation.\n\nLight snacks and refreshments will be provided.\n\nThe Defense for Prince Kuevor will begin soon afterwards at 3:00pm.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Hear\, Here: Humanities Up Close
DESCRIPTION:With the “Hear\, Here” series\, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session. Today: \"History and the Passing Novel\" with Aida Levy-Hussen.\n\nAbout this talk:\nRacial passing novels\, in which African American characters attempt to live as white\, have been a fixture of American literature from the nineteenth-century to the present. This talk turns a curious eye toward twenty-first century iterations of the form. The talk will include\, as necessary context\, a sketched history of the passing novel\; but my deeper interest lies in how contemporary literature has grappled\, both thematically and formally\, with the subject of history.\n\nAbout Aida Levy-Hussen:\nAida Levy-Hussen is a 2022-23 Hunting Family Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and associate professor\, English language and literature.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Seeing Life in a New Light: From Simple Classical Physics to Quantum-Enhanced Imaging
DESCRIPTION:The progress of biomedical sciences depends on the availability of advanced instrumentation and imaging tools capable of attaining the state of biological systems in vivo without using exogenous markers. Mechanical forces and local elasticity play a central role in understanding physical interactions in all living systems. We demonstrate a novel way to image microscopic viscoelastic properties of biological systems using Brillouin microspectroscopy [1]. In my talk\, I will discuss the ways how an old spectroscopic tool can be used for real time microscopy and provide possible solutions to long standing problems in Life Sciences and Medicine while advancing instrumentation beyond classical limits [2]. \n\n[1] Zh.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Dynamical degrees of endomorphisms of affine surfaces
DESCRIPTION:Let f be a dominant polynomial transformation of the complex affine plane. The dynamical degree lambda_1 of f is defined as the limit of the n-th root of the degree of the n-th iterate of f. In 2007\, Favre and Jonsson showed that the dynamical degree of any polynomial endomorphism of the affine plane is a quadratic integer. For any affine surface S0\, there is a definition of the dynamical degree that generalizes the one on the affine plane. We show that the result still holds for any complex affine surface: the dynamical degree of an endomorphism of any complex affine surface is a quadratic integer. The proof uses the space of valuations centered at infinity V. The endomorphism f defines a transformation of V and studying the dynamics of f on V gives information about the dynamics of f on S0. The main result is that under certain hypothesis\, f admits an attracting fixed point in V that we call an eigenvaluation. This implies that one can find a good compactification S of S0 such that f admits an attracting fixed point p at infinity and f has a normal form at p\; the result on the dynamical degree follows from the normal form.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:How to tell when an ideal is homogeneous
DESCRIPTION:In a graded ring\, a homogeneous ideal is an ideal which is generated by homogeneous elements. This seems straightforward enough\, but if your ideal is presented abstractly instead of in terms of generators\, it becomes less obvious how to verify homogeneity. In this talk\, we will discuss several different techniques for showing an ideal is homogeneous\, as well as comparing the strengths and limitations of these techniques. We'll illustrate these via proving useful results on how homogeneity is preserved\, such as showing that associated primes of homogeneous ideals are homogeneous ideals\, and showing the integral closure of a homogeneous ideal is homogeneous.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Magnetic Field Mapping for Indoor Aerial Navigation
DESCRIPTION:Co-Chairs: Ella Atkins and James Cutler\n\nThe defense for Michael Gonzalez will begin shortly before at 12:30pm.\n\nIn person and on zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYtcO2rrD8qHdNNXhL2i8RfLVVYlc4q6zMC\n\nAbstract:\nEarth's magnetic field is a ubiquitous signal commonly used to orient one's heading relative to North. Typical magnetic field navigation techniques assume the ambient field points Northward and remains constant in a local area. Both assumptions break down inside buildings due to distortions caused by ferrous materials in modern structural components. In this work\, we show how to make maps of magnetic field distortions to improve our ability to orient and traverse through indoor spaces. Because the magnetic field is ubiquitous on Earth and magnetometers are present on most modern smartphones and IMUs (inertial measurement units)\, our methods can be applied nearly anywhere on Earth.\n \nThis dissertation presents three major contributions towards the use of magnetic fields for indoor navigation. First\, we show how to use a small UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) to measure the ambient field throughout a workspace and create three dimensional magnetic field maps. We leverage a machine learning tool called Gaussian process regression (GPR) as the backbone of our magnetic field maps to interpolate the field at unobserved locations. \n \nSecond\, we use a multiplicative extended Kalman filter (MEKF) with our GPR-based maps to estimate the attitude (orientation) of a UAV. Here\, we introduce the concept of spatial variation which describes how much the magnetic field changes locally. Results show that our magnetic maps yield a two-fold improvement of attitude estimates indoors (where there is high spatial variation)\, but are unnecessary for outdoor environments where a constant-field assumption is appropriate.\n \nFinally\, we use a particle filter to estimate the position of a UAV using indoor magnetic fields. This last innovation is important because GPS (a staple for position estimation outdoors) is not available inside buildings. Instead\, we use our GPR-based magnetic field maps to track the UAV's motion through our mapped space. Our results give three-dimensional position estimates of a UAV within 0.2m for six of our eight test cases. In addition\, we show how the amount of magnetic field's spatial gradient correlates with our position estimation accuracy.\n \nWith some improvements\, our methods can be used to transform the way people navigate through buildings. Imagine an indoor route planning application that guides someone to their terminal at an airport\, to a book at their local library\, or to their office at a new job. Because magnetic fields are everywhere on Earth\, we can apply our mapping and navigation techniques to any building on the planet. In addition\, the presence of magnetometers in modern smartphones gives everyone the ability to benefit from the invisible field all around them.\n \nTo make this vision a reality\, our methods need to be less sensitive to changes in the magnetic field. Although this dissertation does not investigate robust navigation or time-varying magnetic field mapping\, it does present important foundations on the practice of creating magnetic field maps and their value in enabling indoor navigation.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Webinar: Experimenting with Elevation: Building a New Collaboration to Explore Management Options for Wetland Elevation Maintenance
DESCRIPTION:Portions of wetlands at the Guana Tolomato Matanzas Reserve in Northeastern Florida are predicted to collapse over the next century due to the onslaught of rising sea levels and major storms. To sustain these vulnerable wetland habitats\, scientists and land managers must understand the complex relationships between plant and sediment inputs and surface elevation levels. This 2020 catalyst project developed a Coastal Vulnerability Index to assess what role particular habitats are playing in preventing coastal erosion at the GTM Reserve\, and these data have demonstrated how management decisions can help increase or maintain wetland surface elevation. In this webinar\, the project team will discuss key findings and share important implications the project will have on communal restoration planning addressing sea level rise in the region.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Functional MRI 2022-23 Speaker Series with Bradley MacIntosh\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \n\nMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) are diagnostic imaging modalities used heavily to characterize brain disease. Artificial intelligence (AI)\, specifically deep learning\, is a type of machine learning that involves training a computer to recognize patterns in data by processing large amounts of information through multiple layers of neural networks. Deep learning algorithms are well suited to image analysis tasks and have been applied to a wide range of medical imaging applications. To date\, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved over 500 AI solutions as ‘medical devices’ that aid in the clinical decision making.\n\nThe presentation will focus on examples where AI deep learning models can be used to synthesize images that provide physiological information\, for example cerebral blood flow maps from arterial spin labeling MRI\, and cardiac-related brain pulsatility maps from blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) contrast images. We will also showcase the academic AI tools developed at the Computational Radiology and AI (CRAI.no) unit at the Oslo University Hospital\, Norway. From among these tools\, we will describe the development of a CT-based segmentation tool that contours all forms of intracranial hemorrhage from non-contrast CT images.\n\nYou can attend via Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/93856074220\npasscode: 847305

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Wenlong Mou PhD Candidate\, Department of EECS\, University of California\, Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Data-driven methodology is a pillar of real-world decision-making. When applying statistical learning methods\, puzzling phenomena have arisen in choosing estimators\, tuning their parameters\, and characterizing bias-variance trade-offs. There are various settings in which asymptotic and/or worst-case theory fails to provide the relevant guidance\, so that a more refined approach\, both non-asymptotic and instance-optimal\, is required.\n\nIn this talk\, I present some recent advances in optimal procedures for statistical decision-making. I will first discuss function approximation methods for policy evaluation in reinforcement learning. I describe a novel class of optimal and instance-dependent oracle inequalities for projected Bellman equations. Different from statistical learning\, the optimal approximation factor depends on the geometry of the problem\, and can be much larger than unity. Drawing on this perspective\, I then discuss instance-dependent optimal methods for estimating linear functionals from observational data. With a practical sample size\, the optimal risks exhibit a rich spectrum of behavior beyond the asymptotic semi-parametric efficiency bound. Our non-asymptotic instance-dependent results identify the fundamental roles of certain novel quantities\, and provide concrete guidance on practical choices.\n\nBio: Wenlong Mou is a Ph.D. student at Department of EECS\, UC Berkeley\, advised by Martin Wainwright and Peter Bartlett. Prior to Berkeley\, he received his B.Sc. degree in Computer Science from Peking University. Wenlong's research interests include statistics\, machine learning theory\, dynamic programming and optimization\, and applied probability. He is particularly interested in designing optimal statistical methods that enable optimal data-driven decision making\, powered by efficient computational algorithms.\n\nhttps://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~wmou/

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The geometry of quantum diffusion
DESCRIPTION:The phenomenon of wave propagation in random environments appears in many physical situations of practical interest.  The simplest model for this phenomenon is the Schrodinger equation coupled to a weak random potential\, which describes the evolution of an electron in disordered media.  The effect of the disorder is to scatter the wave into random directions.  The long-time behavior is described by an effective diffusion equation\, which was first established by Erdös\, Salmhofer\, and Yau using sophisticated diagrammatic arguments.  In this talk I will describe a new approach to proving this effective limit which uses a wavepacket decomposition of the solution to give a geometric meaning to the diagrams.  I will focus on the geometry of the diagrams and state some elementary open problems concerning Euclidean geometry which suggest a path to simpler proofs and stronger results.\n\nZoom Room: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96021646996

SUMMARY:Performance:The Plastic Bag Store
DESCRIPTION:This custom-built public art installation and immersive film experience uses humor\, craft\, and a critical lens to question our culture of consumption and convenience — specifically\, the enduring effects of our single-use plastics.\n\nShelves are stocked with thousands of original grocery items meticulously sculpted by hand\, all made from discarded single-use plastics organically harvested from streets and garbage dumps. Several times a day\, the store transforms into an immersive\, dynamic stage for a film in which inventive puppetry\, shadow play\, and intricate handmade sets tell the darkly comedic and sometimes tender story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations — and how what we value least may become our most lasting cultural legacy.
