SUMMARY:Presentation:From Printed Page to Research Data: Building Humanities Tools with AI Agents
DESCRIPTION:Attend a live demonstration\, where Kwok-leong Tang\, Harvard University\, shows how AI coding agents\, such as Claude Code\, let a humanist build research tools by describing them in plain language\, without being a trained programmer.\n\nAttend in person or register to join via Zoom (https://myumi.ch/Ax23x). No laptop or setup is needed for in-person attendees.\n\nThe main demonstration is a full pipeline that turns printed materials into structured data: scanned pages go through OCR (turning page images into text)\, and the text then becomes a table of people\, places\, and dates\, each checked against reference databases such as Wikidata and CBDB (China Biographical Database Project). Dr. Tang will also show other tools he has built this way\, including a batch OCR tool\, a converter for historical Chinese\, Japanese\, and Korean dates\, a tool that suggests Library of Congress subject headings\, and classroom history games made from primary sources. Throughout\, we will look at how to check the agent's work and where this approach breaks down.\n\nFollowing the demonstration\, 3:45-5:00 pm\, Dr. Tang will host an optional office hour for in-person participants who are interested in discussing their own projects related to AI and East Asian studies. This informal session offers an opportunity to receive feedback\, explore possible approaches\, and consider both the potential and limitations of AI tools for your projects.\n\nKwok-leong Tang serves as the managing director of the Digital China Initiative and a lecturer for the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at Harvard University. By training\, he is a historian. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in history from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and a Ph.D. in history and Asian Studies from Pennsylvania State University. In recent years\, he has focused on exploring the potential of new technologies in humanities research. He has organized and instructed workshops on adopting GenAI in Chinese studies and humanities research at Harvard and other institutions.\n\nThe Deep Dive into Digital and Data Methods for Chinese Studies series is sponsored by the U-M Library (Asia Library) and the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | HEP-Astro Seminar | Flavor Dependent Jet Fragmentation and Open Science at LHCb
DESCRIPTION:One of the remaining mysteries of the Standard Model is how emergent properties of hadronic matter arise from quark and gluon degrees of freedom. For example\, there is still much to be learned about the process by which hadrons are formed from color charged quarks and gluons (hadronization). The LHCb detector offers a unique opportunity to study this process in terms of the flavor of quarks involved in the hard scattering process\, enabling measurements of the fragmentation process in heavy flavor jets with unprecedented precision. The unique features of these data motivate both a substantial effort to extract high precision measurements of heavy and light flavor jets\, as well as an effort to preserve and provide open access to these data for the physics and data science communities to explore. In this talk\, I will review recent jet fragmentation function measurements from LHCb in comparison to global measurements. I will then briefly cover the LHCb open data efforts\, culminating in the review of a publicly available dataset and analysis workflow enabling exploration of the jet fragmentation process at LHCb.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Math Grad Show and Tell Seminar: A mathematical introduction to knitting
DESCRIPTION:Suppose you want a nice two-dimensional surface\, but only have some one-dimensional string. Is all hope lost? Or could you entwine your string with itself in a way that approximates the surface you dream of? Good news: knitting’s got your back! And all you need to do is pull some loops through other loops. Knitted fabrics are breathable\, flexible\, and easy to construct either by hand or with a machine. They can stretch to about double their length without lengthening the constituent yarn. Knits are so popular that you are probably wearing one right now!\n\nIn this talk\, we will learn how knitted textiles are constructed and explore topological models of knitting. We will learn what it means to be knittable and meet a new knitted stitch that physicists designed to be less prone to unraveling than standard knitting. You will also get to practice knitting a few stitches for yourself!

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Fall Seminar Series: Global Perspectives on Culture and Health (Susan Najita)
DESCRIPTION:RCGD Fall 2026 Seminar Series: Global Perspectives on Culture & Health\, meets Mondays 3:30 to 5 at ISR Thompson 6050.\n\nSusan Najita\, University of Michigan\n\nThis paper explores the establishment of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park in the post-annexation period\, two prominent newspaper serial publications of the saga of Pele\, the goddess of the volcano\, and her sister\, Hi‘iaka\, which reinvigorated connection to the place that would be brought under federal control.  What can the tale--a repository for the sacred tradition of hula pele and its healing traditions-- tell us today\, in this moment of eco-urgency\, about relationships between bodies\, mele (songs)\, and places?\n\nSusan Najita is an associate professor of English and Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies in the Department of American Culture at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor.  Her first book\, Decolonizing Cultures in the Pacific\, explored the ways that indigenous Pacific writers engage the traumatic history of colonization and empire.  Her current project is entitled Genealogies of Place: Colonialism\, Embodiment\, and the Making of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. \n\nGlobal Perspectives on Culture and Health explores fundamental aspects of human life. Culture facilitates human interaction by providing meaning to lived experience. Accounting for culture in both theories and methods potentially advances the study of health by connecting the macro and micro levels of human experience. Yet\, culture should be understood as dynamic and complex. It fundamentally shapes individuals and simultaneously is shaped by individuals. The importance of systematically attending to culture includes topics of values\, language\, immigration\, and society.\n\nTheories and methods that incorporate culture hold great potential for advancing the understanding of health outcomes and health trajectories in various global contexts.\n\nThe speakers for this series will focus on various aspects of culture and diverse groups living in the U.S. and across the globe to address the ways in which attending to culture helps clarify and overcome challenges to good health.\n\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. The seminar series runs every semester on a theme chosen by faculty organizer/s who are affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent themes have included political polarization\, evolution and human behavior\, and cultural psychology.\n\nIn person: ISR Thompson 6050\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Kristine Ajrouch and Sela Panapasa\nEvents are not recorded
