SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:2022 Caswell Diabetes Institute - Metabolism\, Obesity & Diabetes (CDI-MOD) and the Frontiers in Diabetes Complications Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The CDI-MOD and Frontiers in Diabetes Complications Symposium provides a forum for intellectual exchange on topics associated with diabetes\, obesity\, metabolism and related complications among established investigators\, junior faculty\, students\, and other researchers at the University of Michigan (U-M) and surrounding areas. This symposium features two days of invited speakers with a lively debate\, poster session and data blitz\, providing time for discussion and exploration of new collaborations. Speakers include a combination of researchers of international stature from outside of U-M and junior and senior faculty within the University. Symposium participants will enhance their knowledge and understanding of the latest advances in basic\, translational and clinical research as well as the latest advances in the care and treatment of diabetes\, obesity\, metabolism and related complications. After this activity\, participants will be able to elucidate and predict more clear causes of diabetes and metabolic diseases and utilize this information to guide future research. The target audience includes physicians\, house officers\, medical students\, technicians\, administrators and other healthcare professionals.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Greek Manuscripts at the University of Michigan Library: A Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Splendors of the religious and artistic endeavors of Byzantine manuscript makers are on display in this exhibit of highlights from the Greek manuscript collection at the University of Michigan Library Special Collections Research Center. The collection — 110 codices (bound manuscripts) and fragments written in Greek from the fourth to the nineteenth centuries C.E. — is the largest such collection in the Western Hemisphere and provides unique insights into this era of achievement in textual transmission\, calligraphy\, illumination\, and bookbinding. The exhibit will be open during Audubon Room hours.\n\nA digital version of the exhibit will be available in the Audubon Room and online\, and allows visitors to explore other pages of the manuscripts on display and other manuscripts from the collection.\n\nThis exhibit celebrates two recent publications based on the collection: \n\n* Catalogue of Greek Manuscripts at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Vol. 1.\, by Nadezhda Kavrus-Hoffmann (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press\, 2021)\n\n* Tradition and Individuality: Bindings from the University of Michigan Greek Manuscript Collection\, by Julia Miller (Ann Arbor: The Legacy Press\, 2021)

SUMMARY:Presentation:Statistical Estimation and Inference for Large-Scale Categorical Data
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nCategorical data become increasingly ubiquitous in the modern big data era. In this dissertation\, we propose novel statistical learning and inference methods on large-scale categorical data\, with a special focus on latent variable models and their applications to psychometrics. In psychometric assessments\, the subjects' underlying aptitude often cannot be fully captured by raw scores due to differing item difficulties. Latent variable models are popularly used to capture this unobserved proficiency. This dissertation studies two types of latent variable models with categorical responses. The first type assumes multiple discrete latent traits\, commonly known as the cognitive diagnosis models (CDMs)\, is a special family of discrete latent variable models. The second type assumes a continuous latent score\, commonly known as the item response theory (IRT) models. Although both have been widely applied in large-scale assessments with diagnostic purposes\, many challenges still exist for efficient learning and statistical inference. This dissertation studies four important problems that arise in these contexts.\n\nThe first part develops novel algorithms to estimate large latent Q-matrix in CDMs. Q-matrix plays an important role in CDMs\; it specifies the inter-dependence between items and subjects' latent attributes. Accurate knowledge of Q-matrix is critical for cognitive diagnosis\, item categorization and assessment design. However\, in practice\, many assessments do not provide Q-matrix or do not have accurate Q-matrix specifications. Existing methods are not scalable with the size of Q-matrix\, despite the prevalence of large Q-matrix. We propose a penalized likelihood approach\, with computational complexity growing linearly with Q sizes\, to learn large Q-matrix from observational data. The estimation consistency and the robustness of the proposed method across various CDMs are also established.\n\nThe second part develops learning and inference methods for a unidimensional IRT model\, the Rasch model\, under the missing data setting. Data missingness is prevalent in large-scale assessments\; examples include SAT and GRE where responses are combined from multiple tests administered year round from a large item pool. Direct inference to compare subjects’ latent scores under the missing data setting remains open and challenging in the literature. In this part\, we obtain point estimators for the latent scores and derive their asymptotic distribution under a flexible missing-entry design in double asymptotic settings. We show our estimator is statistically efficient and optimal\, which is amongst the first results in the binary matrix completion literature.\n\nThe third part concerns measurement biases in IRT models. Novel estimation and inference procedures are developed for biases brought by measurement non-invariant items under the differential item functioning (DIF) framework. Existing methods either require to know anchor items\, i.e. DIF-free items or to adopt regularization to ensure model identifiability where easy inference is not permitted. We propose a novel minimal L1 condition for simultaneous DIF detection and model identification. It does not require any knowledge on anchor items and permits easy inference for both binary and multiple groups settings.\n\nThe fourth part considers privacy issues for releasing tabular (categorical) data to the public. We recommend an optimal mechanism\, in which data utility is maximized given a privacy constraint\, under the data differential privacy (DP) framework. Common users' practices\, including merging related cells or integrating multiple data sources\, are considered. Valid inference procedures are developed for the associated DP privacy-protected data.
