SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Advanced Research Computing on the Great Lakes Cluster
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will cover some more advanced topics in computing on the U-M Great Lakes Cluster.  Topics to be covered include a brief review of common parallel programming models and basic use of Great Lakes\; dependent and array scheduling\; workflow scripting\; high-throughput computing using launcher\; parallel processing in one or more of Python\, R\, and MATLAB\; and profiling of parallel code.\n\nPrerequisites: This course assumes familiarity with the Linux command line as might be got from the ARC-TS workshop Introduction to the Linux Command Line. In particular\, participants should understand how files and folders work\, be able to create text files using the nano editor\, be able to create and remove files and folders\, and understand what input and output redirection are and how to use them.\n\nFor more information on instructors and course preparation materials\, please visit: https://ttc.iss.lsa.umich.edu/ttc/sessions/advanced-research-computing-on-the-great-lakes-cluster-38-2/

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:BITE Seminar with Zhenke Wu\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:The Biostatistics Innovations and Technology Exchange (BITE) series aims to foster a collaborative environment where faculty\, staff\, postdocs\, and students can share highlights of their research\, demonstrate technical skills\, and showcase emerging technologies and software.Presenter Information\nZhenke Wu\, PhD\nAssociate Professor of BiostatisticsTITLE: A Statistician's Guide to Integrating Generative AI into Scientific ResearchGenerative AI (GenAI) has rapidly evolved from the initial curiosity sparked by ChatGPT into a transformative technology with implications for knowledge representation and scientific discovery. For the field of statistics\, which is a foundational language for scientific inquiry\, the thoughtful adoption of GenAI tools presents a significant opportunity for innovation\, education\, and enhanced impact. This tutorial will provide a comprehensive overview of this new landscape. The session will highlight early successes that demonstrate GenAI's potential across key application areas. Examples include its use in medicine to accelerate drug discovery and enhance clinical trial design\; its impact on biology in advancing genomic research and predicting protein structures\; and its utility in healthcare for optimizing hospital operations and personalizing patient communication. We will outline best practices for statisticians to use GenAI tools effectively to enhance the quality and integrity of statistical work within large scientific teams.The tutorial will feature a series of practical demonstrations illustrating the integration of GenAI into a statistician's research workflow. These hands-on examples will include leveraging GenAI for automated code generation and debugging\, conducting intelligent and rapid literature reviews\, and using AI-powered tools for enhanced data exploration and hypothesis generation. The session will culminate in a structured interactive discussion\, creating a forum for attendees to share what specific advances they hope to see or make in their respective fields. By the end of this tutorial\, attendees will have a deeper understanding of the potential and pitfalls of GenAI\, a practical framework for its integration\, and a clearer vision for how to contribute to its responsible use and development within the statistical and the broader scientific community.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Craft Lecture: \"The Sentence\" by Jamil Jan Kochai
DESCRIPTION:Login here (no pre-registration needed): http://tinyurl.com/ZellWriters25\n\nJamil Jan Kochai is the author of The Haunting of *Hajji Hotak and Other Stories*\, a finalist for the 2022 National Book Award and a winner of the 2023 Aspen Words Literary Prize and the 2023 Clark Fiction Prize. His debut novel *99 Nights in Logar* won John C. Zacharis First Book Award. Kochai was born in an Afghan refugee camp in Peshawar\, Pakistan\, but his family originally hails from Logar\, Afghanistan. His short stories have appeared in *The New Yorker*\, *Ploughshares*\, *The O. Henry Prize Stories*\, and *The Best American Short Stories*. Kochai was a Hodder Fellow at Princeton University\, a Stegner Fellow at Stanford University\, and a Truman Capote Fellow at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. He teaches creative writing at Princeton University.\n\n\"In this craft talk\, [\"The Sentence\"]\,\" Jamil Jan Kochai says\, \"we will be thinking through the techniques and theories discussed in Brooks Landon’s Building Great Sentences in order to determine what elements make a great sentence\, and how particular sentences are fashioned by writers like Patrick Chamoiseau\, Sandra Cisneros\, and Annie Proulx.\" \n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email kimjulie@umich.edu--we are eager to help ensure this event is inclusive to you. The building\, event space\, and restrooms are wheelchair accessible. Diaper changing tables are available in nearby restrooms. Gender-inclusive restrooms are available on every floor of the Union. ASL interpreters and CART services at in-person events are available upon request\; please email kimjulie@umich.edu at least two weeks prior to the event\, whenever possible\, to allow time to arrange services.\n\nU-M employees with a U-M parking permit may use the Church Street Parking Structure (525 Church St.\, Ann Arbor) or the Thompson Parking Structure (500 Thompson St.\, Ann Arbor).
