SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:MIDAS Mini-Symposium | Generative AI: From Theory to Scientific Applications
DESCRIPTION:Generative AI\, including large language models (LLMs)\, generative diffusion models and etc.\, has emerged as a powerful family of foundation models with unprecedented data generation ability. It has shown exceptional performance in various applications\, including image and language generation\, audio synthesis\, and solving general inverse problems. Despite their success\, these models face significant challenges and limitations that hinder their practical use in many scientific disciplines. This MIDAS symposium will bring together experts and researchers from both theoretical and applied fields to discuss the latest advancements of generative AI\, from theoretical study to practical application deployment. It aims to explore the application of these models in scientific domains\, providing a valuable platform for exchanging ideas and fostering research collaborations in this emerging area.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mrs. Dalloway and WWI: Home Front and War Front
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit explores the characters of Mrs. Dalloway through the lens of WWI and its aftershocks. It looks at those who fought in the trenches and those who watched from afar.\n\n[The exhibit includes references to suicide and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder\, which might be distressing for some visitors. Viewer discretion is advised.]\n\nWhile all of the action in Virginia Woolf’s modernist masterpiece takes place on a single day\, as preparations are made for Clarissa Dalloway’s evening party\, Woolf’s stream of consciousness writing takes us in the characters’ minds all the way from English drawing rooms to colonial India to the trenches of World War I.\n\nCheck today's Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours: https://myumi.ch/PkQ2x

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Sources of Market Power in Web Search: Evidence from a Field Experiment
DESCRIPTION:We evaluate the economic forces that contribute to Google’s large market share in web search. We develop a model of search demand in which consumer choices are influenced by switching costs\, quality beliefs\, and inattention\, and estimate it using data from a field experiment with US desktop internet users. We find that (i) requiring Google users to make an active choice among search engines does not change market shares\, implying that switching costs play a limited role\; (ii) Google users who are paid to try Bing for two weeks update positively about its relative quality\, with a significant share preferring to continue using it\; (iii) switching defaults increases Bing market share by more than correcting quality beliefs\, consistent with persistent inattention. Correcting beliefs and removing choice frictions would increase Bing’s market share and increase consumer surplus. Policies that affect defaults are more effective than those requiring active choice. In the final part of the paper\, we use Microsoft search logs to assess the impact of additional data on search result relevance. The results suggest that sharing Google’s click-and-query data with Microsoft may have a limited effect on market shares.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Yang Chen\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Statistics\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  The total electron content (TEC) maps can be used to estimate the signal delay of GPS due to the ionospheric electron content between a receiver and a satellite. This delay can result in a GPS positioning error. Thus\, it is important to monitor and forecast the TEC maps. However\, the observed TEC maps have big patches of missingness in the ocean and scattered small areas on the land. Thus\, precise imputation and prediction of the TEC maps are crucial in space weather forecasting. \n\nIn this talk\, I first present several extensions of existing matrix completion algorithms to achieve TEC map reconstruction\, accounting for spatial smoothness and temporal consistency while preserving essential structures of the TEC maps. We show that our proposed method achieves better reconstructed TEC maps as compared to existing methods in the literature. I will also briefly describe the use of our large-scale complete TEC database. Then\, I present a new model for forecasting time series data distributed on a matrix-shaped spatial grid\, using the historical spatiotemporal data and auxiliary vector-valued time series data. Large sample asymptotics of the estimators for both finite and high dimensional settings are established\, and performances of the model are validated with extensive simulation studies and an application to forecast the global TEC distributions.\n\nhttps://yangchenfunstatistics.github.io/yangchen.github.io/
