By partnering with the Academic Data Science Alliance (ADSA) this year\, we leverage the reach of this national organization for data science and AI institutes in academia\, expand the scope of our Summit\, and bring together data science and AI leadership\, researchers and educators from around the country. Thus\, this event offers a unique opportunity for local attendees to interact with hundreds of attendees from other universities\, hear talks from leading experts\, and participate in sessions on data science and AI research\, education and societal impact. \n\nOverview:\nThis year’s Annual Meeting theme is: Data Science and AI – Keeping Humans in the Loop\nData has become the essential building block for research and insight in nearly all fields. The next wave of emerging technologies\, including artificial intelligence (AI)\, is fueled by the unprecedented amount and variety of available data. Data and data-enabled technologies promise to reshape research and discovery\, as well as how we live and how society functions. ADSA’24\, hosted by the Michigan Institute for Data Science\, will draw our focus to humanity in data and AI – humans as data producers and data engineers\, humans as AI designers and developers\, humans represented in data\, and humans as data and AI users and as the beneficiaries or victims of data and AI. We will explore the central role of humans in the data and AI revolution: to maximize its benefits for research and innovation\; to ensure that the use of data and technologies and the insights they generate are aligned with our values and priorities\; and to ensure that the future workforce are prepared to continue discovery and innovation.

The group’s name\, rummage\, evokes both a materiality and an intellectual practice characteristic of museum studies more broadly. On the one hand\, rummaging has a tactile quality. It gestures to the human role in how objects are placed and misplaced\, organized and disorganized\, thrown into juxtaposition\, and often randomly re-discovered anew by individuals negotiating various value systems associated with objects. It evokes an image of coming to objects of the past with new eyes and curiosity. On the other hand\, rummaging could also be used to describe an intellectual approach. In posing questions about the how and why certain narratives come to be exhibited and interpreted\, we root around historical understandings of heritage and the power dynamics that lead certain narratives to become dominant. This process is guided by curiosity\, a drive to understand\, and a skepticism of ordering systems.  UID:128047-21860099@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/128047 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:https://umich.zoom.us/j/97111697414 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240830T104618 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241031T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241031T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Guardians: Spirits of Protection DESCRIPTION:This fall\, the Residential College Art Gallery proudly presents Guardians: Spirits of Protection\, an exhibition of evocative figurative sculptures by renowned artist Ann Savageau. The exhibition will be on display from August 26 to November 2\, 2024.\n\nWe invite the university community and the general public to explore this moving collection that delves into themes of loss\, grief\, healing\, and protection. The seventeen life-size figures\, crafted from found objects and beach flotsam\, are a poignant response to the tragedies in Savageau’s life\, including the loss of her three children. Through this deeply personal and powerful work\, Savageau reimagines discarded materials as symbols of new life and resilience\, reflecting the healing power of art.\n\nAnn Savageau will be in residence in Ann Arbor and the Residential College from September 16-20 and October 20-25\, 2024. During her stay\, you are warmly invited to join us for a special artist reception on October 23\, from 4:30 to 6:00 pm in the Gallery. Prior to the reception\, there will be an artist's talk in the Keene Theater at 3:30 pm\, where Savageau will share insights into her creative process and the inspiration behind Guardians.\n\nAnn Savageau\, a former Studio Art instructor at the Residential College from 1978 to 2002\, is not only an artist but also an activist and educator. Her contributions to the Prison Creative Arts Project\, where she taught a weekly art workshop at Jackson Prison for four years\, showcase her commitment to using art as a tool for social change.\n\nDon't miss this opportunity to witness the transformative impact of Savageau's work and engage with her during her residency. We look forward to seeing you at the RC Art Gallery.\n\nImportant Dates:\n\nExhibition: August 26 – November 2\, 2024\nArtist's Talk: October 23\, 2024\, at 3:30 pm\, RC Keene Theater\nArtist Reception: October 23\, 2024\, from 4:30 – 6:00 pm\, RC Art Gallery UID:125338-21854824@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/125338 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,artists,artists and curators,arts,arts at michigan,Arts Initiative,Community,Community Engagement LOCATION:East Quadrangle - RC Art Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241205T123531 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241031T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241031T100000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Lifetime Fitness for Senior Adults DESCRIPTION:Lifetime Fitness classes are offered at Briarwood Mall in the JCPenney wing.

Since 2004\, Glazer has been lead faculty and head of ceramics at Henry Ford College\, and former faculty of Concord College (WV) and North Dakota State University. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the country.\n\nThroughout his adult life the art of Steve Glazer has been done as a response to his environment. From a series of shadow box type pieces containing life like ceramic fish while teaching at a Catholic woman’s college\, to building 8’ tall ceramic “skyscrapers” that barely fit into the display spaces while teaching in North Dakota\, where no skyscrapers exist\, and then creating installations commenting on living in Appalachia while teaching in southern West Virginia. After returning home to Detroit\, Glazer began his griot series\, the “Motor City Griot Society” masks\, the faces of the superheroes that will save Detroit\, and more recently the “Motor City Griot Patrol” creatures that will protect the city of Detroit.

She collects and arranges images\, builds and subtracts\, and uses processes that suit the concepts and gives the pieces a reason for existing as textiles. Simultaneously she strives to make the medium influence the outcome in such a way that cloth and image meld together. Moran uses silkscreen\, shibori\, and stitching to embed images from her daily walks into the fabric. it's important that the work builds slowly\, involving meditative processes that connect her to the cloth and the source of the design.\n\nGallery hours: Monday-Friday\, 9 am to 5pm or by appointment serrag@med.umich.edu UID:124224-21852725@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124224 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Detroit,Exhibition,Free,Graduate Students,North Campus,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121550 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241031T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241031T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering DESCRIPTION:Welcome.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621430@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240829T144050 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241031T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241031T190000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:International Studies Horror Filmfest DESCRIPTION:It’s our annual Halloween spectacular\, where we screen frightening foreign-language movies from around the world!

At the core of unstructured environments is uncertainty. Failing to consider uncertainty can lead to downstream task failures with costly and even dangerous consequences.\n\nThere are many types of uncertainty that need to be considered for real-world systems in unstructured environments. In this dissertation\, I focus on uncertainty of in-hand object pose for objects grasped by a robotic system. If not addressed\, this type of uncertainty can lead to potential failures including grasp instability and unexpected or unreliable contacts made with the environment (including other robots\, objects\, or humans). These types of failures significantly impact task performance for applications including robotic tool use\, assembly\, object hand-over\, and human-robot interaction.\n\nThis dissertation makes several contributions to in-hand object pose estimation using proprioceptive and tactile feedback. Firstly\, I provide a proprioceptive method to estimate contact locations and in-hand object poses simultaneously in a bimanual system from single contact-rich interactions. Then\, I build upon this approach to connect several sequential actions in order to more precisely estimate in-hand object poses. Next\, I incorporate robot proprioception uncertainty with this proprioceptive in-hand object pose estimation framework to adapt to real-world challenges with configuration-dependent robot proprioception uncertainty. Finally\, I introduce the GelSlim 4.0 sensor\, a powerful visuotactile sensor that enables key tactile sensing capabilities like depth estimation and shear field estimation. With accessibility as an explicit design goal\, this sensor is accompanied by open-source manufacturing documentation that we user-tested with 17 novice users. In summary\, this dissertation contributes algorithms and hardware for robotic manipulation that leverage proprioceptive and tactile feedback to address uncertainty in in-hand object poses.

The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter\, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors)\, young folx\, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

To distinguish preferences over demographic composition from preferences over other venue characteristics\, we study venue choices within business chains. We find two notable regularities: racial homophily does not vary by income\, and preferences for high-income co-patrons are similar across racial groups. These demographic preferences are economically large\, explain much of the cross-group variation in exposure to high-income co-patrons\, and correlate with movers’ neighborhood choices.

To achieve this\, wearable devices must integrate a multimodal array of sensors that enable non-invasive\, continuous\, real-time monitoring\, have a long operational lifetime to gather meaningful long-term data\, and remain comfortable and flexible to ensure user adoption. The National Science Foundation-funded Center for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST) is developing precisely such devices\, capable of continuous monitoring of personal environments and health. These capabilities are made possible by breakthroughs in power management\, low-power electronics\, and innovative health and environmental sensors\, all seamlessly integrated into wearable\, comfortable form factors. In this talk\, I will specifically focus on how advances in energy harvesting and sensor systems are making continuous monitoring a reality. Innovations in thermoelectric and piezoelectric harvesters\, catalyzed by optimized system design and flexible materials\, have enabled long-term operation of sensors for vigilant monitoring. Sensor advances in electronic-nose\, optical imaging and human health are providing a complete multi-modal picture into human health and its relationship environment. I will also present the applications that these sensor systems are enabling such as long-term sensing and effective management of chronic conditions\, sensing of personal exposure to air pollutants and toxins and longitudinal studies that provide new insight into correlation of various health and environmental parameters. I will also provide examples of translation of sensor systems and innovative education of the engineering pipeline enabled by the ecosystem associated with an NSF engineering research center.\n\nBio\n\nVeena Misra is the Department Head of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the M.C.

His research and teaching interests are at the interface of engineering\nmodeling\, statistical analysis\, and predictive analytics\, with particular emphasis on improving\noperations of complex manufacturing and other enterprise systems. He received the NSF\nCAREER award\, the IIE Transactions Best Paper Award\, the Technometrics Wilcoxon Prize\,\nand the Journal of Quality Technology Lloyd S. Nelson award. He has served as Editor-in-Chief\nof Technometrics and of the Journal of Quality Technology. He is a Fellow of the American\nStatistical Association and served as Chair of the Quality\, Statistics &\; Reliability Section of\nINFORMS and Director of the Manufacturing and Design Engineering Program at Northwestern.\n\n\nAbstract: For many supervised learning applications\, understanding and visualizing the effects\nof the predictor variables on the predicted response is of paramount importance. A shortcoming\nof black-box supervised learning models (e.g.\, complex trees\, neural networks\, boosted trees\,\nrandom forests\, nearest neighbors\, local kernel-weighted methods\, support vector regression\,\netc.) in this regard is their lack of interpretability or transparency. Partial dependence (PD) plots\,\nwhich are the most popular general approach for visualizing the effects of the predictors with\nblack box supervised learning models\, can produce erroneous results if the predictors are\nstrongly correlated\, because they require extrapolation of the response at predictor values that are\nfar outside the multivariate envelope of the training data. Functional ANOVA for correlated\ninputs can avoid this extrapolation but involves prohibitive computational expense and\nsubjective choice of additive surrogate model to fit to the supervised learning model. We present\na new visualization approach that we term accumulated local effects (ALE) plots\, which have a\nnumber of advantages over existing methods. First\, ALE plots do not require unreliable\nextrapolation with correlated predictors. Second\, they are orders of magnitude less\ncomputationally expensive than PD plots\, and many orders of magnitude less expensive than\nfunctional ANOVA. Third\, they yield convenient variable importance/sensitivity measures that\npossess a number of desirable properties for quantifying the impact of each predictor.

We propose Beat Pilot Tone (BPT)\, a simple serendipitous system exploitation that turns any MRI receiver chain into a radio frequency (RF) motion sensing system that can operate at arbitrary frequencies (up to several GHz). Our contact-free system can be implemented on any MRI scanner regardless of field strength. Through electromagnetic field simulations and experiments\, we explain BPT’s novel mechanism: two or more transmitted RF tones form motion-modulated standing wave patterns that are sensed by the same receiver coil arrays used for MR imaging. These waves are incidentally mixed by intermodulation and digitized simultaneously to the MRI data. BPT achieves an order of magnitude greater sensitivity to motion than other methods in detecting and separating common motion types (respiratory\, bulk\, cardiac\, and head motion) in volunteers. Moreover\, BPT offers tunable sensitivity to motion based on the transmit frequencies\; at microwave frequencies\, BPT can detect millimeter-scale vibrations (ballistocardiograms). With multiple antennas and frequency-multiplexing\, BPT can operate as a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. BPT significantly expands the capability of any MRI system\, paving the way toward multi-modality\, motion-robust\, and simultaneous RF and MR imaging.\n\nBio:\nMichael (Miki) Lustig is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley.

One possible mechanism for this process is a quasar’s outflow\, which can be observed as blueshifted absorption troughs in the quasar’s spectrum. With enough kinetic power\, an outflow can contribute to AGN feedback\, regulating star formation and host galaxy evolution. Analyzing the troughs of outflows found in ultraviolet spectra of quasars\, observed both from the ground and in space\, can reveal their physical characteristics\, as well as their potential ability to contribute to feedback effects.\n\nDavid’s Title: Exploring Ultra-Compact X-Ray Binaries with Reflection Modeling\n\nLow mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are X-ray sources which contain a compact object such as a black hole (BH) or neutron star (NS) accreting material from a stellar companion. A subclass of LMXB called ultra compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) contain a degenerate stellar companion such as a white dwarf (WD)\, resulting in a much shorter orbital period. We study one UCXB candidate and one verified UCXB using a process called reflection modeling\, wherein the X-ray spectrum is modeled with components representing both direct emission and emission that is reprocessed by the accretion disk. This process can allow us to better understand the geometry and behavior of accreting systems\, with UCXBs probing high energy accretion on some of the smallest size scales.

Prof. Schmitt uses behavioral ecology\, morphometric\, and multiple -omics methods to study mechanistic and adaptive aspects of these questions in two non-human primate models: savanna monkeys (Chlorocebus spp.)\, and woolly monkeys (Lagothrix spp.). His work with Chlorocebus demonstrates that there are both heritable and epigenetic components to developmental patterns that help us to better understand the interplay between extremes in resource quality and energetics\, life history\, and metabolic disease. His developing work on Lagothrix expands the use of portable genomics technologies to delve into how diet\, sociality\, and genetic variation interact to enable the energetics of high-elevation living while also potentially constraining climatic adaptability.

This whole tale of the tail started in Ann Arbor\, many many years ago. Explaining the embarrassment of our failure to find such estimates for so many years is the main reason for our talk. As we had to learn for our task\, such tail estimates are intimately connected with conditional thinning ensembles from random matrix theory\, and nonlocal versions of the so-called Painlevé equations. The unraveling of such connections was a parallel task that we had to overcome\, together with many other colleagues\, and led to interesting phenomena that we hadn't anticipated with our original question. During our talk\, we plan to go through such developments as well.\n\nThe talk is mostly based on joint works with Promit Ghosal (University of Chicago)\, but partially also in works in preparation with Tom Claeys (UC Louvain)\, Leslie Molag (Universidad Carlos III) and Lun Zhang (Fudan University).

Overcoming the West Nile Virus\, which left her partially paralyzed\, Ferris demonstrates remarkable resilience and dedication in her intricate cross-hatching and emotionally charged illustrations.\nMy Favorite Thing Is Monsters intertwines a coming-of-age story with a murder mystery and a historical reflection on the Holocaust. Through young Karen Reyes\, Ferris delves into themes of identity\, fear\, and the complexities of humanity. Her art\, inspired by horror magazines and pulp fiction\, juxtaposes the grotesque and the beautiful\, fostering empathy and understanding.\n\nFerris challenges the boundaries of graphic literature\, using the medium to address complex social issues and personal histories. Her work confronts internal and external monsters\, revealing profound truths about the human experience. By pushing the limits of graphic novels\, Ferris elevates the form to explore deeper narratives and emotional landscapes\, inviting readers into a world where art and story are inseparable.\n\nFerris's contributions extend beyond her graphic novels. In April 2022\, Ferris was reported among the more than three dozen comics creators who contributed to Operation USA's benefit anthology book\, Comics for Ukraine: Sunflower Seeds\, a project spearheaded by editor Scott Dunbier\, whose profits would be donated to relief efforts for Ukrainian refugees resulting from the February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.\n\nMy Favorite Thing is Monsters has been translated into French\, Italian\, Portuguese\, Spanish\, German\, and Korean. It has been honored with numerous awards\, among them: The Lambda Literary Award\, multiple Eisners\, the Ignatz\, and the Fauve d’or at the Angouleme Festival\, France.\n\nFerris has exhibited her art extensively in the US and Europe\, and prior to the pandemic she was honored to teach classes at the Louvre.\n\nPresented in partnership with the U-M Library\, Vault of Midnight\, and the Ann Arbor District Library. This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. Series presenting partners: Detroit PBS and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Radio.
