SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nMachine learning algorithms are becoming increasingly powerful to support scientific research and development. A large emphasis in the pharmaceutical community has been on applying these tools in drug discovery\, where algorithms promise to accelerate the earliest stages of drug development. However\, a key challenge in applying machine learning to drug discovery is the scarcity of large\, high-quality datasets for many important applications. To combat this issue\, active learning workflows can be deployed where the machine learning algorithm is put in charge of additional data acquisition. These approaches can dramatically improve the performance of machine learning algorithms by directly querying the most useful data for model development instead of relying on human bias for data generation. In particular\, by pairing machine learning algorithms in yoked learning campaigns\, with one model as a selection algorithm and another as the predictive model\, the performance of these workflows can be improved especially when using currently popular deep neural networks. Even if no new data is selected\, smart active learning algorithms can also\nserve as a data selection approach for subsampling existing data to improve model performance especially on low quality datasets. Instead of selecting data\, data processing approaches can further improve model performance to better support drug development. For example\, novel pairwise deep learning approaches analyze the relationships between molecules to predict property differences instead of predicting property values of individual molecules. By quadratically increasing dataset sizes\, such approaches are particularly beneficial for ADMET and drug development tasks where data availability might be severely limited when relying on in vivo readouts. Such approaches can also enable the integration of bounded measurement values\, thereby enabling algorithms to incorporate data on incompletely characterized compounds to further improve model performance. While active learning and novel data\nprocessing techniques can significantly improve model performance in drug discovery\, similar advancements are needed for drug delivery applications. The development of machine learning approaches to de-risk and improve drug delivery holds immense promise to create superior therapeutics. However\, available datasets for drug delivery applications are often even more limited\, and this is further exacerbated by the large complexity of delivery challenges that often involve complex materials and interactions. To circumvent some of these challenges\, data from drug discovery can be harnessed to predict drug-excipient interactions to identify functional formulations that improve drug absorption and metabolism. Alternatively\, data can be specifically generated via high-throughput laboratory automation or using text mining to curate data from the literature. We have prototyped such advanced workflows in the context of nanoparticle development\, for example by creating predictive workflows that model the in vivo tumor reduction of inorganic nanoparticles and by using machine learning to guide the synthesis of novel drug-excipient nanoparticles with applications in anti-fungal and anti-cancer drug delivery. Despite current challenges and surely overinflated expectations\, such case studies serve as testimony that the strategic integration of machine learning into drug development pipelines holds immense promise to accelerate\, de-risk\, and optimize the creation of life-saving therapeutics.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MICDE-EECS Seminar - Mikhail Belkin\, Professor\, University of California San Diego
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Mikhail Belkin is a Professor at Halicioglu Data Science Institute and Computer Science and Engineering Department at UCSD and an Amazon Scholar. Prior to that he was a Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the Department of Statistics at the Ohio State University. He received his Ph.D. from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Chicago (advised by Partha Niyogi). His research interests are broadly in theory and applications of machine learning\, deep learning and data analysis. Some of his well-known work includes widely used Laplacian Eigenmaps\, Graph Regularization and Manifold Regularization algorithms\, which brought ideas from classical differential geometry and spectral graph theory to data science. His more recent work has been concerned with understanding remarkable mathematical and statistical phenomena observed in deep learning. The empirical evidence necessitated revisiting some of the classical concepts in statistics and optimization\, including the basic notion of over-fitting. One of his key findings has been the \"double descent\" risk curve that extends the textbook U-shaped bias-variance trade-off curve beyond the point of interpolation. His recent work focusses on understanding feature learning and over-parameterization in deep learning. Mikhail Belkin is an ACM Fellow and a recipient of a NSF Career Award and a number of best paper and other awards. He had served on the editorial boards of IEEE Proceedings on Pattern Analysis Machine Intelligence and the Journal of the Machine Learning Research. He is the editor-in-chief of SIAM Journal on Mathematics of Data Science (SIMODS).\n\nAbstract: In recent years\, transformers have become a dominant machine learning methodology.\nA key element of transformer architectures is a standard neural network (MLP). I argue that MLPs alone already exhibit many remarkable behaviors observed in modern LLMs\, including emergent phenomena. Furthermore\, despite large amounts of work\, we are still far from understanding how 2-layer MLPs learn relatively simple problems\, such as “grokking” modular arithmetic. I will discuss recent progress and argue that feature-learning kernel machines (Recursive Feature Machines) isolate some key computational aspects of modern neural architectures and are preferable to MLPs as a model for analysis of emergent phenomena.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2024-2025 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:\"How Long do Quasars Shine?\"\n\nLuminous quasars are believed to be the progenitors of the supermassive black holes observed ubiquitously at the centers of all massive galaxies\, but we are still in the dark about how these black holes formed. Our ignorance largely results from the fact that the expected timescale for supermassive black hole growth of 50 million years is far longer than the mere fifty years that humans have been observing quasars. A holy grail would thus be a direct measurement of quasar lifetimes\, shedding light on the physical mechanisms responsible for fueling black hole growth\, and how the back-reaction of this growth might influence how galaxies form.  I will discuss two very different experiments that allow us to construct cosmic clocks that can accurately time the duration of luminous quasar activity on timescales of kiloyears to gigayears. One exploits the clustering pattern of quasars on the sky\, which has recently been measured by JWST. The other uses observations of diffuse intergalactic gas in quasar environs. I will also touch upon how the latter can be used to constrain the reionization history of the Universe.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - New Views on Fern Phylogenetics: Updates from the GoFlag Targeted Enrichment Probe Set
DESCRIPTION:Ferns are the second largest group of vascular land plants\, with ca. 10\,000\, species\, and they are critical components of Earth’s biodiversity – ferns can be found in nearly every type of ecosystem and habitat\, from desert to rainforest. Ferns also occupy a pivotal evolutionary position as sister to the megadiverse seed plants\, and they are thus the critical outgroup needed to understand the evolution of key seed plant features. This talk presents the results of a phylogenomic approach to reconstructing fern evolution\, using the most highly resolved nuclear dataset to date (targeting 408 loci)\, and with highly targeted taxonomic sampling (including nearly all fern families and genera). This dataset allows us to explore a range of outstanding questions in fern phylogenetics\, including resolving recalcitrant nodes\, and comparing results between our nuclear based trees and other recent large-scale fern phylogenies based on chloroplast loci.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Broken Bonds: Fugitive Bannermen\, Civic virtue\, and Ethnic Identity in Late Imperial China
DESCRIPTION:In 1670\, the Kangxi Emperor promulgated the Sacred Edict\, a hortatory edict consisting of sixteen apothegms that enjoined his Chinese subjects to observe a variety of Confucian virtues. The Edict was the subject of a vast commentarial literature and was revered as a sacred text right through the end of the Qing Dynasty in 1912. This talk takes a closer look at the long-neglected thirteenth apothegm of the Edict\, which admonished against “shielding fugitive bannermen\,” and inquires what it can tell us about political loyalty\, displaced imperial subjects\, and inter-ethnic relations in late imperial China.\n\nPär Cassel is an associate professor of modern Chinese history at the University of Michigan\, where he has taught since 2006. He is strongly committed to multi-lingual and multi-archival research and is especially interested in historical problems where international relations\, jurisprudence\, institutional history\, and linguistics intersect. He has published on East Asian treaty ports\, extraterritoriality and international law in China and Japan\, Sino-Japanese relations\, Manjuristics\, and the history of Sinology. His most recent academic publication explores Confucian responses to Western imperialism and Japan’s policy of “National Seclusion” in the 1830s.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Electrocatalytic Synthesis with Interfacial Control
DESCRIPTION:Synthesis driven by renewable electricity offers a sustainable\, scalable\, decentralized\, and energy-efficient route to furnish value-added products – from fuels to complex molecules. Maximizing reaction efficiency and durability requires immobilized catalytic active sites on electrodes\, resulting in dispersed and non-uniform sites. This heterogeneity challenges iterative optimization of reactivity through traditional catalyst modifications\, which rely on uniform\, singular active sites. This lecture will focus on our research developing synthetic tools and concepts to predictively control interfacial structures at heterogeneous and reusable electrodes at the molecular level. Surface-sensitive techniques and mechanisms will be highlighted throughout the talk. Applications of our interfacial designs in enabling selective chemical syntheses and durable energy conversion systems will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Habit Formation in Labor Supply
DESCRIPTION:Among low income workers\, labor supply is often irregular: frequent shocks disrupt work spells\, absenteeism is high\, and many workers prefer flexible casual work to formal jobs. We examine the possibility that labor supply is habit forming—so that past labor supply levels affect preferences for future supply. We undertake a field experiment with casual urban laborers in Chennai\, India. We randomly provide some workers with small financial incentives for attendance over 7 weeks\, leading to a 23% increase in labor supply. We test for habit formation by examining subsequent impacts after the incentives are removed. First\, we see a persistent 16% increase in labor supply over the next 2 months\, resulting in a 11% increase in employment. Second\, treated workers exhibit a higher willingness to accept work contracts that are of longer duration and less flexible. They also self-report an increase in automaticity—suggesting a change in preferences. Third\, shocks that temporarily pull workers out of the labor market lead subsequent treatment effects to collapse to zero\; in the absence of these shocks\, we cannot reject that there is no decay in effects over time. Fourth\, in incentivized measures\, employers accurately predict treatment effects\, and prefer hiring workers who have been treated with a stronger habit stock in the past—findings that have relevance for understanding duration dependence and the “unemployment scar”. Finally\, in supplementary data from other settings\, we replicate short-run persistent effects of transitory labor supply shocks—indicating the broader generalizability of hysteresis in labor supply. Together\, our results suggest that the intermittent nature of employment and frequent shocks experienced in low-income settings may inhibit workers from becoming habituated to regular work—with implications for the transition to formal regular work in poor countries.
