SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Theory and Methods for Conditional Diffusion Models
DESCRIPTION:will study conditional sampling with diffusion models under linear constraints\, with a focus on understanding how a pre-trained unconditional diffusion model can be used to sample from a conditional distribution. I will present a normal–tangent decomposition of the conditional score that separates the effect of the observed constraints from the remaining uncertainty in the distribution. This decomposition provides a way to characterize the discrepancy between the unconditional and conditional diffusion dynamics\, and to relate this discrepancy to information-theoretic quantities.\n\nBased on this perspective\, I will introduce a sampling method that combines projected Langevin initialization on the constraint set with guided reverse diffusion. I will discuss theoretical and information-theoretic guarantees for the resulting sampler\, as well as numerical results illustrating its behavior on linear inverse problems. At the end\, I will also briefly discuss related results showing how the information content and structural properties of a target distribution can reduce the dependence of diffusion sampling on the ambient dimension.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A Counter-Constitutional Revolution: Donald Trump and the Rule of Law
DESCRIPTION:Please join us as Professor Kim Scheppele delivers the 2026 Law & Ethics Lecture\, co-sponsored by the University of Michigan Law School and the U-M Department of Philosophy. \n\nSince Donald Trump returned to the presidency\, his administration has operated with lightning speed to upend many certainties of law and politics. How can we understand these changes? In this lecture\, Prof. Scheppele will argue that we need to deconstruct attacks on the rule of law into different streams\, each run by different people with different legal logics. Some policies stretch preexisting law in unrecognizable ways\, while other policies seek to destroy law without replacement. Some policies enforce the law selectively\, putting the president and his inner circle above the law even as they subject others to harsh enforcement of that same law. In perhaps the most revolutionary aspect of the Trump presidency\, some within his administration have launched a counter-constitutional revolution to remake the US Constitution as we knew it\, replacing the prior system of checks and balances with a super-presidency\, thus destroying democracy by law. By disentangling these different strands\, we can see that Trump is not a “he” but a “they.” Given the multiplicity of attacks on the rule of law\, we may need a multipronged effort to restore the rule of law when the Trump era is over.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Education Policy Debate Watch Party
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we watch the education policy debate on the motion\, “We should close the U.S. Department of Education.” We will hear perspectives from experts on both sides of this timely education policy question. Whether you have been following the debate around the U.S. Department of Education closely or are simply interested in learning more\, all are welcome.\n\nThis event is hosted by Life-Changing Education (LCE)\, a university-wide initiative exploring how learning changes lives and makes a real-world impact in our academic community and beyond. If you are interested in attending more LCE-related events or learning more about our work\, visit futureoflearning.umich.edu.
