109335-21821482,"2023-07-24 09:00:00","2023-07-24 12:00:00","Learning Structure in High-Dimensional Data with Applications to Neuroimaging","Daniel Kessler","Lecture / Discussion","Abstract:
The scale of modern datasets, with more and more variables measured on more and more observations, presents many statistical challenges, but also opportunities to discover and exploit the rich structure that is often present in the data. In neuroimaging studies, multiple kinds of brain imaging are conducted on the same participant, with each modality of imaging having its own further structure, and many associated phenotypic measurements taken on the participants. Understanding the complicated and noisy underlying relationships between all of these measurements holds promise for scientific and treatment breakthroughs in the long term, and requires sophisticated methods designed to uncover this structure. This thesis presents three projects on learning structure in high-dimensional datasets motivated by applications in neuroimaging.

The first project considers the setting where many networks are observed on a common node set: each observation comprises edge weights, covariates observed at each node, and a response. In our neuroimaging application, the edge weights correspond to functional connectivity between brain regions, node covariates encode task activations at each brain region, and performance on a behavioral task is the response. The goal is to use the edge weights and node covariates to predict the response and to identify a parsimonious and interpretable set of predictive features. We propose an approach that uses feature groups defined according to a community structure believed to exist in the network (naturally occurring in neuroimaging applications). We propose two schemes for forming feature groups where each group incorporates both edge weights and node covariates, and derive optimization algorithms for both using an overlapping group LASSO penalty. Empirical results on synthetic data show that our method, relative to competing approaches, has similar or improved prediction error along with superior support recovery, enabling a more interpretable and potentially a more accurate understanding of the underlying process. We also apply the method to neuroimaging data.

The second project focuses on inference for structure learned using Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA). CCA is a method for analyzing a sample of pairs of random vectors; it learns a sequence of paired linear transformations of the original variables that are maximally correlated within pairs while uncorrelated across pairs. CCA outputs both canonical correlations as well as the canonical directions which define the transformations. While inference for canonical correlations is well developed, conducting inference for canonical directions is more challenging and not well-studied, but is key to interpretability. We propose a computational bootstrap method for inference on CCA direction (kombootcca). We conduct thorough simulation studies that range from simple and well-controlled to complex but realistic and validate the statistical properties of kombootcca while comparing it to several competitors. We also apply the kombootcca method to a brain imaging dataset and discover linked patterns in brain connectivity and behavioral scores.

The third project proposes a new method for matrix CCA (matcca), which works with pairs of random matrices rather than pairs of random vectors, motivated by a neuroimaging application where the brain imaging data takes the form of a high-dimensional covariance matrix. Our matcca method uses a nuclear norm penalty that encourages the canonical directions associated with the matrix-variate data to have low rank structure when arranged into a matrix. Results from both synthetic and neuroimaging data show that matcca is very effective at recovering low rank signals even in noisy cases with few observations.",https://events.umich.edu/event/109335,"West Hall",411,"West Hall",,Dissertation,"Department of Statistics Dissertation Defenses"

The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology, geology and engineering.

Gina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Wesley Arai serves as University Carillonist at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he performs regularly on the 61-bell Storke Tower carillon and maintains an active carillon studio. He studied carillon with Jeff Davis at the University of California, Berkeley, where he received BA degrees in Mathematics and Statistics with a minor in Music. While earning an MA degree in Mathematics at the University of California, Los Angeles, Wesley continued to play the carillon and subsequently passed the advancement examination of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America.

An active recitalist, Wesley has performed extensively across the United States and abroad. He completed a recital tour of Europe in summer 2022, performing in England, Ireland, France, and Spain, including the 20th Perpignan International Carillon Festival and the 29th Barcelona International Carillon Festival. Other recent performances include recitals in Australia, the dedicatory recital for the carillon at the University of Washington, and performances at the 8th Berkeley Carillon Festival, the 76th Congress of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America, and the Springfield International Carillon Festival. Wesley is also an annual recitalist at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Spokane, Washington and is a frequent recitalist at Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove, California.

In addition to the carillon, Wesley has studied piano, trombone, and voice, and has performed in a number of different concert bands, marching bands, jazz bands, orchestras, and choral groups. He enjoys arranging music and occasionally performs some of his own arrangements on the carillon. Wesley’s day job is as an actuary.",https://events.umich.edu/event/108795,"Burton Memorial Tower",,"Burton Memorial Tower","Free - no tickets required",,"School of Music, Theatre & Dance"
104277-21808777,"2023-07-24 20:00:00",,"Holly Near",,Performance,"After 50 years of bold work, Holly Near is still one of the most consistent and well-informed voices for change. Her work is loving, challenging, funny, thought-provoking, and remains rooted in the global community. As an outspoken singer and ambassador for peace, Holly brings a unique integration of world consciousness and self-evaluation, always growing and sharing experiences humbly and boldly.

Holly discovered her unique and recognizable voice at an early age, learning to sing along with recordings of some of the world’s great singers. After graduating high school, Holly attended UCLA but her academic journey ended after just a few months when she was spotted by agents and drawn into the world of film and television. She did guest spots on TV shows like The Partridge Family, Room 222, All in the Family, and played supporting roles in films like John Cassavetes’ Minnie and Moskowitz and George Roy Hill’s Slaughterhouse-Five. She moved to New York and performed for a short run in Hair on Broadway but soon turned to singing full
time, as a soloist as well as sharing the stage with her sisters Laurel and Timothy. Throughout her career she has enjoyed collaborations with such artists as Mercedes Sosa, Ronnie Gilbert, Inti Illimani, Emma’s Revolution, and her long-time songwriting partner, the late Jeff Langley.

In her early twenties, Near traveled with the Free The Army Show and the Indochina Peace Campaign; an experience that enabled her to learn about the function and consequences of the military-industrial complex. While on the FTA tour in 1971, Holly was first introduced to the concept of global feminism. By 1974 she was crossing paths and sharing songs with the wave of new lesbian feminist performers such as Meg Christian, Cris Williamson, Linda Tillery, Mary Watkins, and Alive! Near dove into the feminist movement, trying to understand the depth of sexism and homophobia by turning those lessons into song.

Holly is known for the anthemic quality of some of her songs. As a songwriter she takes up the challenge of turning big concepts into small, personal stories. In response to the slaughter of the students at Kent State, she wrote It Could Have Been Me. And following the assassinations of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk in San Francisco, she penned Singing For Our Lives, which has become an anthem for the LGBTQ community and appears in the Unitarian
Church hymnal. The chilling disappearance of people in Chile under the Pinochet dictatorship brought forth Hay Una Mujer Desaparecida to commemorate the women who had “been disappeared.”

In 2019, Near began a website project called Because of a Song, an online historic archive that documents some of the influential artists that rose from the feminist lesbian music scene in Oakland, California. The site can be viewed at www.becauseofasong.com. 

A recipient of dozens of awards from organizations such as the ACLU and the National Organization of Women, Holly was one of Ms. Magazine’s Women of the Year recipients and has been nominated for Grammys as well as the Legends of Women’s Music Award.
