SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Reframing Our Language Experience (ROLE) Collective Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The Reframing Our Language Experience (ROLE) Collective was co-founded by Dr. Savithry Namboodiripad (U-M Linguistics) and Dr. Ethan Kutlu (University of Iowa). Currently\, the collective has over 50 scholars. \n\nThe 1st ROLE Collective Symposium will take place this year online on April 12th (keynotes and short talks) and April 19th (workshop). The theme of this symposium is “Rejecting Harmful Native Speaker/Signer Ideologies.”\n\nStructure of the Symposium\nThe one-week difference between Day 1 and Day 2 is to ensure that any attendees who may not have been able to attend some or all of the talks on Day 1 will have enough time to watch the videos and be prepared for the second day. In addition\, though all of the short talks will be uploaded online only\, and not broadcast synchronously on Day 1\, there will be a synchronous discussion of these talks on Day 2.\n\nDay 2 will begin with a structured discussion of the short talks. Then\, participants will split up into at least 5 themed breakout rooms to work together to discuss how to address harmful notions of language in various contexts. These contexts include research practices (e.g.\, how to ethically and accurately capture differences in language experience\, how to implement conceptual changes via novel statistical methods\, how to recruit participants without relying on the native speaker/signer construct)\, clinical assessments (e.g.\, creating resources about how language ideologies can lead to misdiagnoses of individuals whose language practices are marginalized\, and advocating for the further development of assessment materials which are inclusive of a broader range of language/varieties)\, admissions processes (e.g.\, creating white papers for graduate and undergraduate programs to eschew native speaker/signer ideologies in assessments of the language of incoming students)\, evaluation of academic language (e.g.\, creating guidelines for editors and reviewers to assess the language of submitted manuscript/grant application without relying on the native speaker construct)\, communicating with the public (e.g.\, creating public-facing information for the affirmation of all kinds of language experience)\, and whatever other priorities are identified by participants – participants’ priorities will be identified via a survey distributed after the first symposium day and before the workshop day.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Arian Maleki\, Department of Statistics\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Consider a model trained with 𝑝 parameters from 𝑛 independent and identically distributed observations. To assess a data point’s impact on the model\, we remove it from the dataset and aim to understand the model’s behavior when trained on the remaining data. This scenario is relevant in various classical and modern applications\, including risk estimation\, outlier detection\, machine unlearning\, and data valuation. Conventional approaches involve training the model on the remaining data\, but these can be computationally demanding. Consequently\, researchers often resort to approximate methods. This talk highlights that in high-dimensional settings\, where 𝑝 is either larger than 𝑛 or at the same order\, many approximation methods may prove ineffective. We will present and analyze an accurate approximation method tailored for high-dimensional regimes\, elucidating the conditions for its accuracy. In the concluding part of the presentation\, time permitting\, we will briefly discuss some of the unresolved issues in this domain.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:The Clements Library Bookworm
DESCRIPTION:Join David Hancock in our Bookworm series for a discussion on his forthcoming book\, The Man of Twists and Turns: William Fitzmaurice\, 2nd Earl of Shelburne and the End of Enlightenment\n\nHancock’s biography delves into the life of William Fitzmaurice\, the second Earl of Shelburne and First Marquess of Lansdowne (1737–1805). Hailing from Ireland\, Fitzmaurice was not only a scholar and soldier but also a seasoned politician\, aesthete\, and office-holder. As prime minister\, his negotiations were instrumental in securing the peace that concluded the Revolutionary War. The William Petty\, 1st Marquis of Lansdowne\, 2nd Earl of Shelburne papers (1665-1885) housed at the Clements contain the letters and official papers of Lord Shelburne.\n\nFree event - Registration required: http://myumi.ch/gjgzR
