SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhonDi Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Will Styler will be discussion \"Modeling Human Speech Perception Using Machine Learning.\"\n\nAbstract\nOne struggle in identifying the acoustic cues used in speech perception is the near infinite number of possible features usable by humans. Here we describe a more efficient\, machine-learning-based alternative. Acoustic measurements of 29 features were used to train a Support Vector Machine\, allowing the classification of English vowels as “oral” or “nasalized”. The best-performing features were then tested using modified experimental stimuli with human listeners. The SVM model and human listeners showed similar patterns of confusion and perception\, suggesting that SVMs can be used to predict the utility of different features for human perception.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Interdisciplinary Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:Lorentz force impedance tomography\, also known as the Magneto-Acousto-Electric Tomography (MAET)\, is a novel hybrid modality that represents a stable\, high-resolution alternative to the Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT).  As EIT\, MAET aims at imaging of the non-uniform conductivity inside an object. To this end\, the object is placed in a magnetic field and subjected to ultrasound waves. As a result\, Lorentz force generates currents that can be measured outside of the object.  After a short theoretical introduction into MAET\, I will present the design of a simplified 2D MAET scanner we have built\, and will discuss new mathematical problems associated with this device\, and the methods that can be used to solve them.  This is joint work with R.S. Witte and C.P. Ingram. Speaker(s): Leonid Kunyansky (University of Arizona)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry
DESCRIPTION:Guiradel generalized the notion of geometric intersection number between curves on on a surface to any pair of G–trees\; associated to a pair of G–trees\, he constructed a closed\, 2–dimensional finite CAT(0) cube complex with boundaries whose volume represents the intersection number between the two trees. If the trees are duals to sphere systems one can give a description of the core using the intersection patterns of spheres. We investigate how the core changes along a surgery sequence. We then use this to show that forward and backward surgery paths have a Hausdorff distance of at most 4 in the sphere graph. Speaker(s): Yulan Qing (Toronto)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Seminar | Holographic Complexity\, Randomness\, and the Butterfly Effect
DESCRIPTION:Motivated by black hole physics\, we study the relationship between quantum chaos\, holographic complexity\, and pseudo randomness. First\, we develop a diagnostic of quantum chaos by directly considering the time evolution of a simple local operator. This leads us to out-of-time-order correlation functions as a natural measure of quantum chaos. We explain how such correlators are natural probes of the black hole interior in holography. Using tools from quantum information\, we use a generalization of these correlators to develop a lower bound on the computational complexity of an ensemble of unitary operators. Finally\, we introduce a conjecture that the quantum complexity of a holographic state is dual to the space-time action of the black hole interior.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Nationalism\, Revolution & Genocide
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 7\, 2016    \n3:00-6:00 PM \n\nSaturday\, October 8\, 2016    \n9:00 - 5:30 PM\n\n1014 Tisch Hall\nFree and open to the public\n\nRenowned for his recent book on the Armenian genocide\, Ronald Grigor Suny is one of the most distinguished scholars of Soviet and post-Soviet history. At a conference in his honor\, a select group of historians\, anthropologists\, and political scientists from across the globe will assemble to speak on topics that he has pioneered. Regional and topical sessions will address nationhood and identity in late imperial and Soviet history\; Marxism\; empire in Russia and elsewhere\; and genocide. Intellectually adventurous and ready to delve into new theoretical literatures\, Professor Suny has enriched and inspired research in all of these disparate areas. The panelists all draw on his ground-breaking work on constructed nationhood\, the tensions and synergies between imperial and national formations\, and the critically important contribution of emotion to political life\, both positive and\, in the case of genocide\, deadly.\n\nTo register for the conference and access the pre-circulated papers\, please contact Krista Goff (kgoff@miami.edu).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Sources and Reactivity of Terrestrial Organic Carbon to the Colville River Delta\, Beaufort Sea\, Alaska
DESCRIPTION:Terrestrial particulate organic carbon (tPOC) delivery to nearshore deltaic regions is an important mechanism of OC storage and burial\, and continental margins worldwide account for approximately 90% of the carbon burial in the ocean. Increasing warming in the Arctic is leading to an acceleration of the hydrologic cycle\, warming of permafrost\, and broad shifts in vegetation. All of these changes are likely to affect the delivery\, reactivity\, and burial of tPOC in nearshore Arctic regions\, making the Arctic an ideal place to study the effects of climate change on tPOC delivery. However\, to date\, most studies of tPOC delivery from North America to the Arctic Ocean have focused on large Arctic rivers like the Mackenzie and Yukon\, and a significant portion of those watersheds lie in sub-Arctic latitudes\, meaning that their tPOC delivery is likely not uniquely representative of the high Arctic tundra. Here\, we focus on tPOC delivery by the Colville River\, the largest North American river with a watershed that does not include sub-Arctic latitudes. Water column particulates and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) samples\, surface sediment samples\, and long cores from the river delta and nearby Simpson’s Lagoon were taken in multiple field campaigns from 2010 – 2015. Results from bulk and compound specific OC analyses show that tPOC delivery near the river mouth is sourced from coastal plain tundra\, with additional delivery of tPOC from peat released into the lagoon from the seaward limit of the tundra by coastal erosion\, and a clear differentiation between tPOC delivered by the river and tPOC delivered by coastal retreat in the lagoon. Additionally\, a significant portion of the OC released by the Colville River is relatively thermochemically reactive and sourced from Pleistocene-aged yedoma-like deposits\, and could contribute to increased OC mineralization in the Beaufort shelf.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Dominance Principle in Epistemic Decision Theory
DESCRIPTION:https://philosophy.stanford.edu/people/rachael-briggs\n\nAccording to the Dominance Principle\, one should not choose a dominated act--one that yields a worse outcome than some other act no matter what the state of the world.  Similarly\, many epistemic decision theorists hold an Epistemic Dominance Principle\, which says that one should not adopt a dominated belief state --one that is less accurate than some other belief state no matter what the state of the world.  The Epistemic Dominance Principle is useful for vindicating probabilism.\n\nRecently\, authors like Michael Caie and Richard Pettigrew have raised doubts about the epistemic version of the Dominance Principle.  They argue that where a dominating belief state is unavailable or unchoiceworthy (in the right way)\, it cannot give us sufficient reason to reject the belief state it dominates.  \n\nI argue that the correct response to these challenges is to break the Dominance Principle into two parts: one that connects dominance to value comparisons\, and another that connects value comparisons to choices.  According this response\, domination by an unavailable belief state is not a sufficient reason to reject a belief state\, but domination by an unchoiceworthy belief state sometimes is.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combinatorics
DESCRIPTION:We investigate whether surface cluster algebras have positive canonical bases\, natural linear bases for which the structure constants for multiplication are all positive. There are three natural bases we consider. We restrict to the subalgebra spanned by closed loops. (In particular\, this subalgebra does not contain the cluster variables\, which correspond to arcs.) On this subalgebra\, which is also the skein algebra of the surface\, one of the bases (the bangles basis) is almost never positive and another basis (the bracelets basis) is always positive.
