SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Ann Lee\, Professor\, Department of Statistics & Data Science\, Carnegie Mellon University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Scientific inference often involves inferring internal key parameters that determine the outcome of a complex physical phenomenon. The data themselves may come in the form of a labeled set that implicitly encodes the likelihood function\; for example\, in the form of (i) pairs of parameters and observable data according to a mechanistic (simulator) model\, or as (ii) observed data and parameters 'measured' with high precision via an auxiliary experiment. We refer to inference in both intractable likelihood settings as \"Likelihood-Free Inference'\" (LFI). The application of neural density estimators and generative models to scientific LFI settings is becoming increasingly widespread. However\, high-posterior density (HPD) regions derived from these density estimators do not necessarily have a high probability of including the true parameter of interest\, even if the posterior is well-estimated and the labeled data have the same distribution as the target distribution. Furthermore\, if the prior distribution is poorly specified\, then the HPD regions could severely undercover and/or be biased\, thereby leading to misleading scientific conclusions. In this talk\, I will present new LFI methodology and algorithms for leveraging neural density estimators to produce confidence regions that have (i) nominal frequentist coverage for any value of the (unknown) parameter\, even with just one observation (sample size n=1)\, and (ii) smaller average area (yielding higher constraining power) if the prior is well-specified. I will illustrate our methods on examples from astronomy and high-energy physics\, and discuss where we stand and what challenges still remain.

SUMMARY:Other:Engage Detroit Grant Live ($15\,000)
DESCRIPTION:Interested parties should apply through the website: https://engaged.umich.edu/engagement-detroit/detroit-workshops/\n\nOur Engaged Learning team is seeking proposals for the 2026 Engage Detroit Workshop grant program\, which supports small groups of U-M faculty and staff members organizing a workshop or a speaker series in Detroit. Please consider sharing this information with your faculty and staff who are interested in pursuing projects in Detroit. \n\nContinuing our commitment to partnerships with Detroit\, this grant provides up to $15\,000 in funding for workshops or speaker series that foster meaningful relationships and connections on a topic connecting faculty and staff at the University of Michigan with Detroit communities. The program has awarded 27 projects since its inception in 2022.\n\nIn collaboration with the Dearborn and Flint Provosts\, for 2026\, we are planning to support up to six proposals aimed at organizing a workshop or speaker series on a topic that is both relevant to Detroit communities and brings together multiple initiatives/projects led by UM faculty/staff. \n \nSubmissions are due by March 1\, 2026\; an overview of the program is available here. You can read more about the program in Monday’s Record article\, or at the Engaged Michigan website. You can also review active work by U-M faculty and staff in Detroit\, as reported in our 2025 census map.\n\nPlease direct any questions you may have about the program or application process to engagedmichigan@umich.edu.
