SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Michael Woodroofe Lecture Series: Nicolai Meinshausen\, Professor\, Department of Statistics\, ETH Zurich.
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Distributional regression aims to estimate the full conditional distribution of a target variable\, given covariates. Traditional approaches include linear or tree-based quantile regression. Modern computational-intensive approaches include diffusion models and flow matching. It is shown how a simple extension of the absolute error loss of standard regression yields a light-weight generative model that can easily be extended to very high-dimensional targets. It also can be used in an instrumental variable setting to estimate the full conditional distribution under interventions on the treatment variable. Results are very robust to the chosen model size and there are advantages of a distributional fit even if we only care about conditional mean estimation\, whether observational or interventional. The advantages include robustness properties under mild extrapolation \nin a regression setting and better identifiability results for causal effect estimation. \n\nhttps://people.math.ethz.ch/~nicolai/

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Tackling Food Waste in Detroit
DESCRIPTION:Detroit produces 250 million pounds of food waste each year\, and reducing that waste is one of the most effective climate solutions. Join us for an insightful discussion on where Detroit stands in the fight against food waste and what remains to be done. This panel brings together key leaders working on food recovery\, sustainability\, and urban agriculture to explore current initiatives\, challenges\, and future opportunities for reducing food waste and increasing food security in the city.\n\nFrom policy solutions to community-based action\, this conversation will highlight innovative approaches to food waste reduction and identify the critical steps needed to build a more sustainable and equitable food system in Detroit.
