SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Optimality conditions in optimization under uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:Most optimization problems involve uncertain data due to measurement errors\, unknown future developments and modeling approximations. Stochastic optimization assumes that the uncertain parameter is probabilistic. An other approach is called robust optimization which expects the uncertain parameter to belong to a set that is known prior. In this talk\, we consider scalar optimization problems under uncertainty with infinite scenario sets. We apply methods from vector optimization in general spaces\, set-valued optimization and scalarization techniques to derive necessary optimality conditions for solutions of robust optimization problems.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Portraits of Feminism in Japan
DESCRIPTION:What is feminism in Japan? Rather than imagining it as a singular\, coherent object\, this exhibit seeks to introduce the diversity\, difference\, and complexity inherent in feminist activism in Japan. As in other cultural contexts\, “feminism” in Japan can invoke sharply different associations\, from office workers trying to reshape taken-for-granted structures of power and authority\, to mothers advocating for safer school lunches after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disasters\, and queer couples seeking legal recognition for the families they have created. Mainstream feminist activism in Japan has focused on advocating for change in families\, workplaces\, schools\, political institutions\, and laws\, among many other contexts. Many ­– but certainly not all – feminist activists in Japan are also responding to the lasting legacies of Japanese colonial projects\, working toward recognition\, repair\, and meaningful reparations for racial and gender-based violence that continue to impact communities disproportionately.\n\nThis exhibit features original portraits of feminists who have shaped the landscape of women's and gender rights in Japan and beyond. Created by nine contemporary artists in Japan and the United States\, the portraits and accompanying texts challenge simplistic understandings of \"feminism\" while also drawing attention to a diversity of experiences\, needs\, and activism within Japan. This exhibit also spotlights the history of Japanese studies at the University of Michigan in conjunction with the Center for Japanese Studies' 75th anniversary celebration. \n\n“Portraits of Feminism in Japan” is open for viewing M-F 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.\n\nFeatured artists:\nElaine Cromie\, JenClare B. Gawaran\, Takatoshi Hayashi\, ivokuma (いぼくま)\, Nami Kaneko (金子奈美)\, Kang Jungsook\, Lisa Taka Miyagi\, Nancy Nishihira (西平・ナンシー)\, and Shigeki Shibata (柴田滋紀)\n\nCuration team: \nAllison Alexy\,  Bradly Hammond\, Grace Mahoney\, and Alexandria Molinari

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Traces
DESCRIPTION:Traces explores the relationship between the past and the present with a focus on the process of transformation as the connecting thread. The work consists of a series of collages and a collection of Polaroids that are accompanied by animations and video clips seen solely through the use of an augmented reality application (Virtual Mutations).\n\nThe scenarios presented in the static images act as literal stages for animated narratives. What once was a captured single moment echoes into motion\, creating an additional layer as to what will come thereafter. A dialogue between the past and the present is established and the app itself acts as a mediator between these tenses\, allowing the observer to have a glimpse of the afterthought\, that range from digital collages to Polaroid instant film.\n\nAbout the Artist\nCamila Magrane is a multimedia artist originally from Caracas\, Venezuela. Having a father from the U.S. and a mother from Venezuela\, she grew up alternating between both countries. Being fully exposed to two different cultures gave her a greater understanding of what it means to have various perspectives. After graduating from film school in Caracas\, she moved to San Francisco where she freelanced as an editor and camera operator. After discovering a passion for video games and interactive media\, Magrane obtained a BS in computer science with a concentration in game development. This eventually led her to working in the game industry as a cinematic artist.\n\nMagrane has been pursuing a professional career as a multimedia artist since 2017\, working within a variety of mediums\, from photography and collage to animation and virtual/augmented reality (AR). She has been most noted for the creation of her AR image-based work where she’s established a postmodern aesthetic by combining traditional darkroom techniques with the use of digital tools.\n\nPrior to her career in the arts\, Magrane worked as a community organizer and teacher\, creating and managing a curriculum for teaching 3rd-6th graders coding skills in public schools in Caracas\, Venezuela. She continues to be active in community work by giving talks and workshops revolving around the topics of art\, technology\, and the use of AR as a creative medium.\n\nCamila Magrane has exhibited work internationally in numerous exhibitions\, event spaces\, fairs\, and festivals. Selected exhibitions & clients include The Academy of Sciences\, The Exploratorium\, Themes+Projects Gallery\, Minnesota Street Project\, MUKEK\, Gray Area\, Sothebys\, and Adobe. Selected press inquiries include Forbes\, Adobe Blog\, Refinery29\, Lenscratch\, Las Vegas Weekly\, Las Vegas Review Journal\, and Open Studios Guide.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:PRINTWORKS
DESCRIPTION:Carl Wilson is known for his stark black and white linocut prints. The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the nineteen forties and fifties has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\n​\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like JuicyFruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. In 2017 Carl's work was a part of  Detroit's contribution to The Saint-Etienne Design Biennale in France. 2017 also saw the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead & Lost in Detroit. Spring of 2018 saw Carl complete a residency at MacDowell in New Hampshire. While there he finished the writing and illustration of  his graphic novel and currently the book is in negotiation for publication. The year has also seen the completion of a ten print collection based on James Weldon Johnson's Prodigal Son poetry. It was commissioned  by Calvin College and Dr. Larry Gerbens.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Zhimei Ren\, Postdoctoral Research Fellow\, Department of Statistics\, University of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: A common problem in many modern statistical applications is to find a set of important variables—from a pool of many candidates—that explain the response of interest. For this task\, model-X knockoffs offers a general framework that can leverage any feature importance measure to produce a variable selection algorithm: it discovers true effects while rigorously controlling the number or fraction of false positives\, paving the way for reproducible scientific discoveries. The model-X knockoffs\, however\, is a randomized procedure that relies on the one-time construction of synthetic (random) variables. Different runs of model-X knockoffs on the same dataset often result in different sets of selected variables\, which is not desirable for the reproducibility of the reported results. \n\nIn this talk\, I will introduce derandomization schemes that aggregate the selection results across multiple runs of the knockoffs algorithm to yield stable selection. In the first part\, I will present a derandomization scheme that controls the number of false positives\, i.e.\, the per family error rate (PFER) and the k family-wise error rate (k-FWER). In the second part\, I will talk about an alternative derandomization scheme with provable false discovery rate (FDR) control. Equipped with these derandomization steps\, the knockoffs framework provides a powerful tool for making reproducible scientific discoveries. The proposed methods are evaluated on both simulated and real data\, demonstrating comparable power and dramatically lower selection variability when compared with the original model-X knockoffs.\nhttps://zhimeir.github.io/

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Heterogeneous structure (and order) of disordered FUS condensation
DESCRIPTION:Formation of membraneless liquid-like biomolecular condensates (BCs) via liquid-liquid phase separation of disordered proteins is responsible for many behaviors in cells\, specifically stress granule formation\, chromatin organization\, and RNA transcription. Structural changes of these BCs can be triggered by external stimuli such as pH\, salt\, or temperature as well as surface interactions. Often external stimuli can facilitate aberrant phase transitions or non-native multivalent interactions of these disordered proteins\, which eventually leads to solidification. Here\, I describe our studies of the structural and biophysical properties of FUS condensation after thermal shock\, at hydrophobic interfaces\, and at lipid interfaces using a combination of cutting-edge molecular microscopy and spectroscopy to reveal the diverse molecular states that FUS inhabits. In contrast to the disordered state observed in conventional liquid BCs\, FUS under these different conditions forms condensates with heterogeneous structure and surprising ordering. Moreover\, we find that interfaces can catalyze FUS assembly at concentrations less than 50-fold required in bulk.
