SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Suqi Liu\, Postdoctoral Research Fellow\, Biomedical Informatics\, Harvard University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Data is playing an increasingly crucial role in modern health sciences. With the transition to electronic health systems\, growing collaborations among institutions\, and the rapid advancement of genome sequencing technologies\, health data has become more accessible than ever before. However\, the large-scale nature of health data presents unique challenges for statistics and data science in distilling\, integrating\, and generalizing knowledge\, due to its high dimensionality\, diverse modalities\, complex structures\, and more.\n\nIn this talk\, I will highlight several efforts I have undertaken in recent years to address these challenges using statistical\, probabilistic\, and AI-driven tools\, ranging from practical applications to the theoretical foundations of data science. First\, I will focus on the theoretically guaranteed learning of a comprehensive medical knowledge graph that integrates heterogeneous relationships from various sources by employing embedding-based neural networks combined with representation learning. Next\, I will discuss a method for harmonizing data across multiple institutions using graph neural networks (GNNs)\, along with a theoretical analysis of GNN performance in graph alignment tasks through random geometric graphs. Finally\, I will present a framework for unifying the representation of biomedical concepts and genetic markers by leveraging large language models (LLMs). Through these efforts\, I have developed an extensive toolbox for knowledge integration to better understand health-related outcomes and advance the use of biomedical data in clinical practice.\n\nhttps://www.suqil.com/

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Climate Action in 2025 and Beyond:
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan community understands climate change is an existential threat that will exacerbate inequality and make our planet unliveable. In this community conversation on climate action\, we bring Michigan and community voices together to amplify our shared commitment to tackle the climate crisis\, create sustainable and just systems and center environmental justice. How can we come together in this critical moment\, and what is our roadmap for the path ahead? Join us in this unique conversation structured as a town hall and information session to learn what is happening at the university\, local\, state and federal levels and how you can get involved.\n\nHelp us plan for a sustainable event. RSVP today to ensure we have an accurate food count\, minimizing waste and maximizing the impact of our gathering. Together\, we can lead by example in sustainable event practices.
