SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Ethnic and Political Divide in the Preference for Strong Leaders
DESCRIPTION:The prevailing view among scholars has been that the preference for strong leaders is an idiosyncratic feature of right-wing individuals. However\, it is unclear whether this inference is accurate given that prior research has largely overlooked the role of ethnicity. Analyzing data from the US and Western Europe (N = 34\,443)\, we found that ethnic minorities (and right-wing individuals) prefer strong leaders to a greater extent than Whites (and left-wing individuals). Notably\, ethnic minorities across diverse ethnic and political backgrounds are closer to right-wing Whites on strong leader preference than to left-wing Whites. Our work also provides some evidence\, using both measurement-of-mediation (Studies 1-4) and experimental mediation (pre-registered Studies 5-6)\, that generalized trust helps explain group differences in strong leader preference. Importantly\, our findings suggest that left-wing Whites’ leadership preferences should not be considered the “default” as they do not generalize even to left-wing people belonging to other ethnic backgrounds.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Architecture of Illness: The Hospital Experience\, Vienna 1880-1920
DESCRIPTION:In the short span of forty years\, hospitals became ubiquitous in Western society. Today\, the hospital seems nearly invisible\, even though it bookends the beginning and end of most people’s lives. But initially this institution was met with opposition from a host of critics and commentators.\n\nThis talk focuses on Vienna in the twentieth century as the privileged site for this exemplary tale about the hospital’s rise\, the suspicions it generated\, and the experiences it occasioned. The Architecture of Illness investigates various hospital building styles\, as these come to influence people’s experiences of health care. Using examples from literary works by Arthur Schnitzler and Rainer Maria Rilke as well as architectural treatises\, this talk charts the waiting games\, the diffuse spaces\, and the contagious rumors that plague hospitals from the moment of their establishment.\n\n \nFatima Naqvi is Leavenworth Professor of German and Film at Yale University. She is currently the chair of the Film & Media Studies Program as well as of the European Studies Council. Her scholarship has focused on the intersection of architecture and Bildung in the literature of Thomas Bernhard\; landscape and its function in post-war West German culture\; the rhetoric of victimhood in Western European Culture from the late 1960s to the present\; and the films of director Michael Haneke. Drawn to the curmudgeons\, querulous types\, and naysayers of literature and film\, she has recently written on Elfriede Jelinek\, Ruth Beckermann\, Friederike Mayröcker\, and Peter Handke.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Non-Discriminatory Personalized Pricing (joint with Philipp Strack)
DESCRIPTION:A unit mass of consumers with unit demands purchase a product from a monopolist. Consumers have a binary protected characteristic\, which is associated with value distributions ranked in the likelihood ratio order\, conditional on the cost of serving them. We characterize the revenue-maximizing market segmentation and pricing strategy subject to a non-discriminatory constraint\, where consumers with the same cost but different protected characteristics must face the same price distributions. This problem is equivalent to an optimal transport with a non-supermodular objective function. When consumers' value distributions given protected characteristics are different enough\, consumers could retain positive surplus under the profit-maximizing pricing rule\, although which protected characteristic benefits more is generally ambiguous. Moreover\, these surplus are enjoyed by consumers with intermediate values\, whereas high-value and low-value consumers do not retain any surplus.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Efficient Low-Dimensional Compression for Deep Overparameterized Learning and Fine-Tuning
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  While overparameterization in machine learning models offers great benefits in terms of optimization and generalization\, it also leads to increased computational requirements as model sizes grow. In this work\, we demonstrate that we can reap the benefits of overparameterization without the computational burden. First\, we develop theory showing that when training the parameters of a deep linear network to fit a low-rank or wide matrix\, the gradient dynamics of each weight matrix are confined to an invariant low-dimensional subspace. This is done by carefully studying the gradient update step\, which is the product of several matrix variables\, and noticing the way low-rank structure passes from the low-rank target through the variables sequentially.  Given this invariant subspace\, we can construct and train compact\, highly compressed factorizations possessing the same benefits as their overparameterized counterparts. For language model fine-tuning\, we introduce a method called \"Deep LoRA\"\, which improves the existing low-rank adaptation (LoRA) technique. While this technique does not arise directly from our theory\, it involves only a minor modification that is surprisingly effective and of great interest for future theoretical study.\n\nContact:  Peter Miller

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Higher-Categorical Associahedra (Combinatorics Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:In 2017\, Bottman introduced a family of posets called 2-associahedra as a tool for investigating functoriality properties of Fukaya categories\, and he conjectured that they could be realized as face posets of convex polytopes. We introduce a family of posets called categorical n-associahedra\, which naturally extend Bottman's 2-associahedra and the classical associahedra. Categorical n-associahedra give a combinatorial model for the poset of strata of a compactified real moduli space of a tree arrangement of affine coordinate subspaces. We construct a family of complete polyhedral fans\, called velocity fans\, whose coordinates encode the relative velocities of pairs of colliding coordinate subspaces\, and whose face posets are the categorical n-associahedra. In particular\, this gives the first fan realization of 2-associahedra. In the case of the classical associahedron\, the velocity fan specializes to the normal fan of Loday's realization of the associahedron.  Time permitting\, we will discuss current investigations of projectivity of velocity fans.  This is joint work with Nathaniel Bottman and Daria Poliakova.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary Workshop in Race\, Ethnicity and Politics
DESCRIPTION:Racial and ethnic identities play a key role in shaping behaviors\, attitudes\, institutions and social structures. As such\, scholars across disciplines have been devoted to investigating how race and ethnicity feature in every aspect of social and political life. The purpose of I-REP (Interdisciplinary Workshop in Race\, Ethnicity and Politics) is to provide a space for scholars whose research centers race\, ethnicity and politics across a number of fields to receive critical feedback on the early stages of their work (especially graduate students)\, build community with other researchers who share similar interests and offer an opportunity for participants to collaborate on a joint research project within the working group.
