SUMMARY:Exhibition:Map ≠ Territory: Distortion and Power in Cartography
DESCRIPTION:More than strict representations of the world we inhabit\, maps are social constructions that embody the interests of their creators. Map ≠ Territory deconstructs maps that have been used to subjugate\, appropriate\, and oppress\, as well as the maps that counter that power through emancipation and advocacy. The exhibit critically engages with materials that span from the colonial era to modern-day Detroit.\n\nThe exhibit is available in the Clark Library (second floor Hatcher) during Hatcher Library hours. Please verify hours on the library's website: https://www.lib.umich.edu

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Analysis of Complex Sample Survey Data - Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Analysis of Complex Sample Survey Data\n\nOpen for registration!\n\nJune 6 - July 29\, 2022\n10:00am-12:00pm\nM/W/F\n\nThis course provides practical methods and tools to analyze complex survey data with a hands-on introduction to the use of specialized statistical software procedures. The course focuses on case studies with specific large-scale national surveys: the National Comorbidity Survey-Replication (NCS-R)\, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES)\, and the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). Relevant design features of the NCS-R\, NHANES and HRS include survey weights that take into account differences in probability of selection into the sample and differences in response rates\, as well as stratification and clustering in the multistage sampling procedures used in identifying the sampled households and individuals. After introducing essential concepts related to complex sample designs\, the course will turn to the construction of survey weights\, estimation of sampling variance\, descriptive analysis\, regression analysis\, and finally special topics in the analysis of survey data. Participants can expect to work on homework exercises\, computer lab exercises\, and a final analysis project.\n\nWhy take this course? \n- To gain an understanding of modern methods and software for the secondary analysis of survey data collected from large complex samples\n- To have the opportunity for one-on-one interaction with the instructors when walking through analyses of survey data\n- To see various examples of applied statistical analyses of survey data\n- To have the experience of writing a scientific paper that presents an analysis of complex sample survey data\, and getting expert feedback on that paper.\n\nCourse Hours: 3\n\nInstructors: Brady T. West\, Yajuan Si\n\nPrerequisite: Two graduate-level courses in statistical methods\, familiarity with basic sample design concepts\, and familiarity with data analytic techniques such as linear and logistic regression.\n\nAll 2022 courses will be offered in an alternative remote format.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:BioArtography Booth at the Ann Arbor Art Fair
DESCRIPTION:BioArtography will be in South University Booth SU1109 (Between E. Univ. and Church) the Ann Arbor Art Fair! 13 spectacular new images for 2022 will be making their debut!\n\nEvery day at the University of Michigan\, scientists from many fields work together to study organism development\, function and disease. While the goal of these studies is to design new and effective ways to treat disease and provide better understanding of ourselves as well as the world around us\, many are also taking the time to share the beauty of their work with others through a program called BioArtography. In the course of research\, scientists use special stains to add color to the otherwise transparent tissues. Microscopes then allow detailed observation of the tiny\, colorful biological structures revealed in these images. This results in a fascinating combination of art and science that U-M researchers are capturing in pictures taken through microscopes and turning into artworks that would look beautiful on any wall.\n\nThe goal of these studies is to design new and effective ways to treat disease and provide better understanding of ourselves as well as the world that surrounds us. Proceeds from the sale of this work help support the training of our next generation of researchers. Past BioArtography sales have raised enough money to send more than 100 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to scientific conferences\, where they can present their work to other scientists and make connections that can help them launch their careers in research and industry.\n\nThroughout the year BioArtography images (a collection of over 250) can be viewed and ordered online at www.bioartography.com

SUMMARY:Exhibition:the small details
DESCRIPTION:Artists Amy Sacksteder and Brenda Singletary are both visual storytellers\, exploring their relationships to place and time through the contemplation of objects and raw materials within the context and the process of painting. Although disparate in their methods and aesthetic choices\, there is a surprising connection in their deep commitment to the particulars\, in all the small details more than “the big picture”…the idiosyncrasies and incidentals that give meaning\, resonance\, and renewal to their own visual languages\, and artistic practices ongoing. Visit our website to learn more: https://lsa.umich.edu/humanities/gallery/current-exhibitions/the-small-details.html.\n\n*the small details* was made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation as part of the Institute for the Humanities Gallery High Stakes Art Initiative. This two-person exhibition opportunity intends to offer support and further exposure specifically for regional contemporary artists.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Interpretable and Scalable Graphical Models for Complex Spatio-temporal Processes
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This thesis focuses on data that has complex spatio-temporal structure and on probabilistic graphical models that learn the structure in an interpretable and scalable manner. We target two research areas of interest: Gaussian graphical models for tensor-variate data and summarization of complex time-varying texts using topic models. This work advances the state-of-the-art in several directions. First\, it introduces a new class of tensor-variate Gaussian graphical models via the Sylvester tensor equation. Second\, it develops an optimization technique based on a fast-converging proximal alternating linearized minimization method\, which scales tensor-variate Gaussian graphical model estimations to modern big-data settings. Third\, it connects Kronecker-structured (inverse) covariance models with spatio-temporal partial differential equations (PDEs) and introduces a new framework for ensemble Kalman filtering that is capable of tracking chaotic physical systems. Fourth\, it proposes a modular and interpretable framework for unsupervised and weakly-supervised probabilistic topic modeling of time-varying data that combines generative statistical models with computational geometric methods. Throughout\, practical applications of the methodology are considered using real datasets. This includes brain-connectivity analysis using EEG data\, space weather forecasting using solar imaging data\, longitudinal analysis of public opinions using Twitter data\, and mining of mental health related issues using TalkLife data. We show in each case that the graphical modeling framework introduced here leads to improved interpretability\, accuracy\, and scalability.
