SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Graduate Student Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Demet Kayabaşı\nPhD Candidate - Department of Linguistics \n\nTitle: Emphatic Markers & Encoding of Event Participants \nin the Syntax-Semantics Interface \n\nAbstract: Anaphoric items like “myself” are widely studied in relation to dependency phenomena  like reflexivity (e.g. “I hurt myself.”). Reflexives interact with the argument structure  and can saturate A-positions across languages (Faltz 2016\, Büring 2005). However\, it is  also cross-linguistic common for the same anaphors in some languages also mark a  relation that does not alter the argument structure while still maintaining a co-referential  relationship with an argument (Dechaume & Wiltschko 2017 i.a.)\, also known as an emphatic marker (e.g. “I tied my shoelaces myself.”). Using data from both spoken and signed languages\, this  talk presents an analysis of both the event and information structural role of anaphors\, and why the functions  go together. \n\n\nYu-Chuan Lucy Chiang\nPhD Candidate - Department of Linguistics \n\nTitle: Acquisition of light verb syntax by Mandarin Bilinguals \n\nAbstract: This talk discusses the acquisition of the syntax of so-called light verb constructions in  Mandarin by adult English-Mandarin heritage bilinguals and adult L2  Mandarinspeakers. Light verbs contribute limited semantic content in the verb phrases  they form with dependent nouns in Mandarin (Huang 2015\; Lin 2014). Questions arise  as to how the verb phrase da dianhua ‘(tele)phone/call (someone)’ can be formed in  parallel to the lexical meaning ‘hit (the) telephone’. Some syntactic structures can be used to distinguish the two meanings\, such as passives and topicalization. Since these structures involve complex syntax and semantics properties\, the acquisition of light verbs raises some  interesting questions about bilinguals. An online acceptability judgment experiment via PCIbex was  conducted to address such questions. Based on the results\, Mandarin-English bilinguals’ judgments on light  verbs showed distinct patterns\, suggesting that the grammar of Mandarin light verbs differs among the three  groups of speakers.\n\nThis event will be hybrid\, as well as zoom https://umich.zoom.us/j/91857099548.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Michigan Lectures in Algebraic Geometry: New perspectives on the topology of algebraic maps III
DESCRIPTION:Given a proper algebraic map f : X--> Y\, the decomposition theorem of Beilinson\, Bernstein\, Deligne\, and Gabber provides powerful tools to the study of its topology. This endows the cohomology of X with an extra structure\, known as the perverse filtration\, which measures the singularities of the map f. In recent years\, the decomposition theorem and the induced perverse filtration have been found to share surprising connections to other branches of mathematics\; these include non-abelian Hodge theory (the P=W conjecture)\, enumerative geometry (Donaldson-Thomas and BPS invariants)\, planar singularities (DAHA\, knot invariants)\, and hyper-Kähler geometries (Hodge modules\, motivic techniques). In this lecture series\, I will discuss some of these developments. If time permits\, open questions will be presented and discussed.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:NERS Colloquium: Heuristic vs Theoretically Complete Sources of Uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: A predictive science requires advanced mathematical and computational tools that explain how uncertainties\, ubiquitous in all modeling and simulation efforts\, affect our predictions and understanding of complex phenomena. This remains to be a fundamental difficulty in most modeling and simulation applications. There are many uncertainty classification systems which occur in modeling and simulation\, most practical uncertainty frameworks are discipline-specific or model-specific. These classification systems define categories of uncertainties which need to be considered for a specific model or application. Such uncertainty frameworks cannot be proved to be complete\, and certainly are not universal. To develop a complete set of errors associated with modeling and simulation\, it is necessary to define every error that could affect the accuracy of computational model’s prediction of a real-world system regardless of the model\, discipline\, or application\, i.e.\, a theoretically complete set of errors. The presentation will show three main types of uncertainty frameworks\, including a theoretically complete set of errors that\, if accounted for\, would result in the correct prediction of reality. The presented theoretically complete set of errors is a set of thirteen distinct difference terms\, which are closely related to current practices in verification\, validation\, and uncertainty quantification. It can be easily shown that these thirteen errors represent a theoretically complete set of errors.\n\nDr. Tomasz Kozlowski is an Associate Professor in the Department of Nuclear\, Plasma\, and Radiological Engineering at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Kozlowski received his Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from Purdue University in 2005\, where he worked on spatial homogenization methods for transport calculations\, PARCS code development\, and multi-physics RELAP5/PARCS and TRACE/PARCS coupling. Later\, he worked at the Division of Nuclear Power Safety at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm\, Sweden\, where he taught numerical methods and conducted researcher on BWR stability\, BWR safety analysis\, and multi-physics coupling methods. At the University of Illinois\, he worked on a variety of topics related to code validation\, uncertainty quantification\, Bayesian statistics\, and LWR\, MSR\, HTGR reactor analysis.
