SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Ecosystem responses to climate change depend on the hidden world beneath our feet
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of our ongoing Thursday Seminar Series.\nPreview: Dr. Colleen Iversen is an ecosystem ecologist who uses a variety of field and laboratory techniques to understand and predict how ecosystems are shaped by environmental change. Her work takes her from upland forests to flooded peatlands to thawing Arctic tundra\, chasing a better understanding of the secret lives of roots hidden beneath the soil surface. She works at the millimeter scale to answer a global question: how will ecosystems respond to the climate of the future?

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Images\, Videos and Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:This talk will feature two families of machine learning\, the diffusion network and the transformer. First\, the two basic methodologies will be introduced from first principles. Second\, two developments from the Virginia Image and Video Analysis laboratory will be described. A diffusion method for multiplicative noise will be outlined. And\, a special-purpose transformer for recognizing human activity from videos will be explained. The talk will conclude with recommendations regarding research in artificial intelligence.\n\nBio:\nScott T. Acton is the Lawrence R. Quarles Professor and Chair of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Virginia. He is also appointed in Biomedical Engineering. For the previous three years\, he was Program Director (and then acting Deputy Division Director) in the Computer and Information Sciences and Engineering directorate of the National Science Foundation. He received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees at the University of Texas at Austin and the B.S. degree from Virginia Tech. Professor Acton is a Fellow of the IEEE “for contributions to biomedical image analysis.” Professor Acton’s laboratory at UVA is called VIVA – Virginia Image and Video Analysis. They specialize in biological/biomedical image analysis problems. Professor Acton has over 400 publications in the image analysis area including the books Biomedical Image Analysis: Tracking and Biomedical Image Analysis: Segmentation. He was the 2018 Co-Chair of the IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging. Professor Acton was Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing (2014-2018).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Topology Seminar: Configuration spaces and applications in arithmetic statistics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In the last dozen years\, topological methods have been shown to produce a new pathway to study arithmetic statistics over function fields\, most notably in Ellenberg-Venkatesh-Westerland's work on the Cohen-Lenstra conjecture. More recently\, Ellenberg\, Tran and Westerland proved the upper bound in Malle's conjecture on the enumeration of function fields by studying the homology of braid groups with certain exponential coefficients. In this talk\, we will give an overview of their framework and extend their techniques to study other questions in arithmetic statistics. As an example\, we will demonstrate how this extension can be used to study character sums of the resultant of monic squarefree polynomials over finite fields\, answering and generalizing a question of Ellenberg and Shusterman\, and Malle's conjecture for function fields with prescribed ramification.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nHow can we build successfully diverse universities in which people feel they can contribute from the standpoint of their backgrounds and identities\, and yet not be discriminated against based on those backgrounds and identities?\n\nClaude M. Steele\, professor of psychology at Stanford University\, shares early insights from his forthcoming book in a talk he calls “Churn: Life in the Increasingly Diverse World of Higher Education and How to Make It Work.” The author of Whistling Vivaldi: How Stereotypes Affect Us and What We Can Do\, Dr. Steele is renowned for his research on stereotype threat and its application to the academic performance of underrepresented students.\n\nDr. Steele will discuss his concept: when two people\, or groups of people\, each with their contingencies of identity\, are attempting to communicate across differences\, there is a lot going on cognitively\, affectively\, and emotionally in these situations. \n\nChurn is the worry about how one’s identity\, in light of all of this context\, plays out in the subjective experience of a diverse situation. To Steele\, this “identity churn” is a “huge part” of the challenge of diversity\, and trust is the critical issue in the functioning of our institutions. This session will be co-hosted by BME and the Psychology Department.\nBio:\nClaude M. Steele is an American social psychologist and a Professor of Psychology at Stanford University. He is best known for his work on stereotype threat and its application to minority student academic performance. His earlier work dealt with research on the self (e.g.\, self-image\, self-affirmation) as well as the role of self-regulation in addictive behaviors. In 2010\, he released his book\, Whistling Vivaldi and Other Clues to How Stereotypes Affect Us\, summarizing years of research on stereotype threat and the underperformance of minority students in higher education.\n\nHe holds a B.A. in Psychology from Hiram College\, an M.A. in Social Psychology from Ohio State University\, and a Ph.D. in Social Psychology and Statistical Psychology from Ohio State University. He is elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, the National Academy of Sciences\, the National Science Board\, the National Academy of Education\, and the American Philosophical Society.\n\nHe currently serves on the board of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation\, the board of Scripps College\, and the SFJazz board. He is just retired by term limit from the Russell Sage Foundation Board of Directors\, after being Chair for ten years.\n\nProfessor Steele is a Fellow for both the American Institutes for Research and the American Academy of Political and Social Science\, and serves on the Advisory Council of the MIT Media Lab.\n\nHe has served in several major academic leadership positions as the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost at UC Berkeley\, the I. James Quillen Dean for the School of Education at Stanford University\, and as the 21st Provost of Columbia University. Past roles also include serving as the President of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology\, as the President of the Western Psychological\nAssociation\, and as a member of the Board of Directors of the American Psychological Society.\n\nProfessor Steele holds Honorary Doctorates from Yale University\, Northwestern University\, University of Chicago\, University of Michigan\, DePaul University and Claremont Graduate University. In 2020\, he received the Legacy Award from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (SPSP). The SPSP Legacy honors luminary figures whose seminal career contributions have shaped the field.\n\nZoom:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/94801149707
