SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Resume Lab
DESCRIPTION:*RSVP required to attend. Click \"Join Event\" here: https://app.joinhandshake.com/edu/events/1686417Just getting started building a resume? Have a draft but not sure how to make it better? Wantto learn about resources available to revise your resume? Wherever you’re at Resume Lab is a great next step for you. Get real-time\, personalized support in a small group setting by checking out the Resume Lab. We will discuss and educate you on…- Design and format- Writing a great bullet point- Targeting your resume for specific internships/jobs If you're a Graduate Student or Recent Grad\, please make a 1:1 appointment instead of attending the Lab because this event is designed for undergraduates. Note: This event's information is shown in Handshake as well as on the Happening @ Michigan calendar so that it will be seen by a larger number of U-M Students.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:AIM Seminar:  Cyclic Block Optimization: How they work\, why they work\, and where they work
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  When facing challenging tasks in life\, one natural strategy is to solve simple sub-tasks one by one and hope that it eventually lead to somewhere better. Many challenging optimization problems in machine learning and scientific computing follow this approach—optimizing a small block of parameters cyclically\, one at a time. Notable examples include Sinkhorn’s algorithm for computing optimal transport maps and Schrödinger bridges\, as well as alternating least squares and multiplicative updates for matrix and tensor factorization. In this talk\, we will explore the principles behind these methods (block majorization-minimization)\, why they often require less parameter tuning than first-order gradient-based approaches (via second-order analysis)\, and their recent extensions to Riemannian manifolds\, with new results in Wasserstein variational inference. \nThis talk is based on recent works with Yuchen Li (UW)\, Joowon Lee (UW)\, Laura Balzano (Michigan)\, Deanna Needell (UCLA)\, and Sumit Mukerjee (Columbia). \n\nContact:  Laura Balzano

SUMMARY:Meeting:DocDi
DESCRIPTION:The DocDi Group is a collaborative forum\, open to both students and faculty\, who share an interest in the areas of Field Linguistics\, Fieldwork Methods\, Language Documentation\, and Language Description. Serving as an invaluable platform for friendly intellectual exchange\, DocDi promotes an interactive environment where members have the opportunity to present their respective research\, share their experiences\, and discuss innovative ideas and tools aimed at augmenting the effectiveness of fieldwork and documentary/descriptive projects.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | The Gauge Theory Bootstrap: Computing Pion amplitudes and low energy parameters from QCD.
DESCRIPTION:Under the assumption of confinement and chiral symmetry breaking the low energy description of QCD is in terms of an effective theory of pions whose properties (couplings) should be derived from the high energy Lagrangian (QCD). In this talk I will describe recent work in collaboration with Yifei He where we propose a bootstrap method to compute pion scattering phase shifts and low energy effective action coefficients. The method looks for the most general S-matrix that matches at low energy the tree level amplitudes of the non-linear sigma model and at high energy\, QCD sum rules and form factors. This is a theoretical/numerical calculation that uses as only data the pion mass\, pion decay constant fpi and the QCD parameters Nc=3\, Nf=2\, mq and alpha_s. The results are in reasonable agreement with experiment. In particular\, we find the rho(770)\, f2(1270) and rho(1450) resonances.  The interplay between the UV gauge theory and low energy pion physics is an example of a general situation where we know the microscopic theory as well as the effective theory of long wavelength fluctuations but we want to solve the strongly coupled dynamics at intermediate energies. The bootstrap builds a bridge  between the low and high energy by determining the consistent S-matrix that matches both and provides\, in this case\, a new direction to understand the strongly coupled physics of gauge theories.
