SUMMARY:Exhibition:Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory
DESCRIPTION:The Detroit Observatory was once a hub of astronomical discovery that put the University of Michigan on the map as a world-class research institution. A century later\, it was an abandoned building with an uncertain future. From cornerstone to keystone\, from the first director to the people who saved it from destruction\, explore the life of a historic observatory 170 years in the making.\n\n\"Watcher of the Sky\" is being developed by student docents at the Detroit Observatory. Presented by the Judy and Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory\, part of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n\"Watcher of the Sky\" is now on display at the Detroit Observatory (1398 Ann Street\, Ann Arbor\, 48109). View the exhibit during the Observatory's open hours:\nThursdays 12-5 pm\nFridays 12-11 pm\nSelected Saturdays 12-5 pm

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:June 2 - July 30\, 2026 T/TH  Course - Sampling in Practice
DESCRIPTION:June 2-July 30\, 2026\, T/TH\n1:00pm - 3:00pm\nA live course via Zoom. Registration and payment are required a minimum of two weeks prior to the start of the course.\n\nFounded in 1948\, the Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques is designed specifically to meet the needs of professionals and graduate students seeking to deepen their expertise in survey methodology and data collection. Offered through the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science within the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan\, the program provides a rigorous and flexible curriculum that blends theoretical foundations with practical application — entirely online.\n\nSampling in Practice\n\nUnlocking the art and science of sampling with an applied\, hands-on approach\, the course Sampling in Practice is designed for applied practitioners who want to master real-world sampling techniques through active learning and practical programming. Students will learn about probability sampling methods\, including simple random sampling\, stratification\, systematic selection\, cluster sampling\, probability proportional to size sampling\, and multistage sampling. We will also cover sampling cost models\, sampling error estimation techniques\, non-sampling errors\, missing data\, and nonprobability samples. The course emphasizes practical implementation\, featuring interactive coding exercises and in-class examples to reinforce each concept. A culminating project will give students the opportunity to integrate multiple techniques into a comprehensive sample design and demonstrate the profession in designing surveys\, selecting subjects\, analyzing sample data\, and solving real sampling problems using modern statistical tools.\n\nWhy take this course? \n\nThe course is crafted for students and practitioners eager: \n\nTo build proficiency in modern sampling techniques through active engagement and practical coding experience\nTo understand the basic ideas\, concepts and principles of probability sampling from an applied perspective\nTo be able to identify and appropriately apply sampling techniques to survey design problems\nTo understand and be able to assess the impact of the sample design on survey estimates\nTo be able to compute the sample size for a variety of sample designs\nTo learn how to design and select a probability sample involving complex sampling techniques in a survey project\, and receive expert feedback on a sampling report. \n\nYajuan Si is a Research Associate Professor in the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science\, located within in the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. She holds a Ph.D. in statistical science from Duke and received postdoctoral training at Columbia. Yajuan’s research focuses on methodology development\, from data analysis to study design\, in streams of Bayesian statistics\, linking design- and model-based approaches for survey inference\, data integration\, missing data analysis\, confidentiality protection\, and causal inference\, with applications in the social and health sciences.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Summer Deep Reading on Deep Learning (Transformer Circuits)
DESCRIPTION:Matthew O'Meara\, PhD and his lab are hosting what we're calling Summer Deep Reading on Deep Learning. This year it will be a multi-part journal club on Transformer Circuits. We're going to start with Grokking and touch on lazy/rich training regimes\, thermodynamics and phase transitions. The aim is to make the math accessible while getting into advanced topics. \n\nAll are welcome\, please pass this announcement to folks in your lab or anyone else you think may be interesting.\n\nOver the course of the series\, we are going to explore the use of generative and agentic AI and how we can use it to engage with new ideas and learn from each other. So each week we'll suggest exercises covering prompting strategies\, ClaudeCode\, Skills/MCPs\, agentic workflows\, and rigor and reproducibility. As a finale\, for those that can attend\, we'll hold a multi-day hackathon where we can work together to integrate what we've learned into resource for others.\n\nSchedule and Logistics\nWe'll meet every-other week on Fridays at 10-11am location 4B700\, where the coordinates may vary depending on availability.\n\nFriday 5/22\nFriday 6/5\nFriday 6/19\nThursday 7/2 (2pm-4pm)\nHackathon 7/15-17th\n\n* Each session we'll cover a paper journal as a journal club\, and share what we learned about and through the AI tools.\n* For coordination and up-to-date information\, please join the #summer-deep-reading-deep-learning channel on slack.\n\nExpectations:\nRead the paper and be curious
