It has been empirically observed that the performance of neural networks scales as power laws with respect to the sizes of the model and training data set. I will discuss a recently proposed random feature model that captures the physics of neural scaling laws\, and its solution in an effective theory framework using large-N field theory methods. The solution reveals a duality that is indicative of a deeper connection between neural networks and field theories.

We will provide a criterion for whether positroid varieties are smooth at certain distinguished points\, and we will show that this information is sufficient to determine smoothness for the entire positroid variety. This will involve looking at combinatorial diagrams called \"affine pipe dreams.\" We can also form a partial order on positroid varieties given by deletion and contraction\, such that there is closure for smooth positroid varieties\, and we will characterize the minimal singular elements in this order. Finally\, we will discuss a couple of connections between the techniques of this work and planar N=4 SYM: the BCFW bridge decomposition and inverse soft factors.

For any compact Kähler manifold X\, the Hodge theorem gives a decomposition of the cohomology of X as the direct sum of complex vector spaces. Such a decomposition can be generalized to the notion of a Hodge structure\, which has an equivalent description in terms of the Hodge filtration. Our goal is to study these variations on Hodge structures by viewing this filtration through the lens of the Grassmannian and flag manifolds. We provide a concrete example where we show that the parameter space for the polarized Hodge structures of a compact Riemann surface of genus q is analytically isomorphic to the Siegel upper half space.

A connecting thread between all these tasks\, and a source of numerous challenges\, is the inherent uncertainty in perceptual data. This dissertation considers how to manage rather than ignore perceptual uncertainty\, enabling the creation of safe\, robust\, and reliable systems that will allow robots to leave the lab and enter the world. This dissertation introduces four novel approaches for perceptual uncertainty quantification. The first is a means of computing geometric uncertainty for radiance field models. Second\, we propose a framework for estimating semantic uncertainty using vision and\, third\, we build off this framework to enable robots to use multiple sensing modalities such as vision and touch to update this semantic uncertainty. Lastly\, we propose a means of propagating uncertainty over Riemannian manifolds with guarantees on numerical accuracy and with applications for robotic state estimation. Combined\, these methods demonstrate a comprehensive means of quantifying uncertainty for robotic perception.

As such\, scholars across disciplines have been devoted to investigating how race and ethnicity feature in every aspect of social and political life. The purpose of I-REP (Interdisciplinary Workshop in Race\, Ethnicity and Politics) is to provide a space for scholars whose research centers race\, ethnicity and politics across a number of fields to receive critical feedback on the early stages of their work (especially graduate students)\, build community with other researchers who share similar interests and offer an opportunity for participants to collaborate on a joint research project within the working group.

InSAR has been successfully used to generate high-resolution digital elevation models of the Earth’s surface topography\, measure crustal deformation associated with volcanic deformation\, post-seismic and co-seismic deformation\, ground motion associated with landsliding\, and glacial flow velocities. In recent years\, considerable developments have been made towards the study of permafrost freeze thaw and degradation from InSAR observations. In this talk\, I will present several techniques in the fields of InSAR and polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) that can be leveraged to resolve fundamental properties of permafrost and the active layer in periglacial landscapes\, with a focus on permafrost-wildfire interactions and surface hydrology. I will also discuss emerging methods of leveraging nuisance terms (e.g.\, interferometric phase noise\, phase nonclosure) for environmental retrievals of soil moisture\, vegetation canopy water content\, and wildfire burn severity.

This paper examines whether a sustained\, classroom-based media and information literacy intervention can help school children in Bihar\, India\, to become more discerning consumers of public health information. Collaborating with a branch of Bihar's state government\, we developed and fielded a multi-session media literacy RCT across 583 villages\, targeting over 12\,000 students. Unlike previous anti-misinformation interventions\, this project focuses on rural populations\, long-term engagement\, and adolescents aged 13 to 18. Results from intent-to-treat estimates demonstrate that our intervention had significant impacts on a number of counts: treated students showed heightened ability to discern between true and false information. Notably the intervention also changed health preferences\, diminishing reliance on alternative medical approaches and decreasing dependence on untrustworthy sources of news. We are able to detect effects up to 2 months post intervention\, speaking to the strength of the treatment in changing attitudes long-term. These findings hold significant implications for assessing the efficacy of media literacy measures in light of previous studies that often yield null or mixed results. Our intervention demonstrates continued effectiveness among a particularly challenging sample and difficult context.\n \n Sumitra Badrinathan is an assistant professor of political science at American University's School of International Service.

In their first symphonies\, Beethoven and Prokofiev each take the symphony of Mozart and Haydn through some new twists and turns\, both with a sense of humor and playfulness. Shostakovich’s first chamber symphony\, a string orchestra version of his Eighth String Quartet\, was written in three days and dedicated to the victims of fascism and war. As it tells his own story in quotes from several of his previous pieces and by using his own initials as notes\, it’s clear that he was one of them! This powerful and deeply personal music is quite a contrast from the witty and entertaining symphonies of Beethoven and Prokofiev.

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.

The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter\, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors)\, young folx\, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories\, as well as those of survivance and resilience\, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps\, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA\, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing\, thinking\, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus\, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers\, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on\, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole\, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works\, including 15-17 new works. Together\, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial\, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day\, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, culture wars\, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living\, sustenance\, and making. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621444@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241116T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241116T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

This production\, situated in the 1970s with echoes of classic TV shows The Brady Bunch and Bewitched\, emphasizes the darker undercurrents in the familiar tale of Hänsel and Gretel being sent into the forest by their frustrated mother. They gather berries and frolic in the woods\, soon realizing they are lost as darkness descends. In the morning\, Hänsel and Gretel spot an enticing house made of sugary cereal. As they nibble on the house\, a frightening witch appears from within and captures the children\, threatening to fatten Hansel up and use him to make confections. The clever children must keep their wits about them to avoid a fiery fate.\n\nComposed by Engelbert Humperdinck\; libretto by Adelheid Wette \nBased on the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm\nConductor Kirk Severtson\nDirected by Gregory Keller\n UID:122728-21849576@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122728 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Dance,Music,Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240823T181702 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241116T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241116T213000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:John Ellis: \"The Pedagogical Writings of Marguerite Long: A Reassessment of Her Impact on the French School of Piano\" DESCRIPTION:This lecture celebrates the work of Dr. John Ellis\, winner of the 2024 Harold Haugh Award which recognizes excellence in private studio teaching at the School of Music\, Theatre & Dance. Ellis is professor of piano at SMTD\, director of Graduate Studies in Piano Pedagogy and administers the Piano Pedagogy Laboratory Program.\n\nSMTD BIO:\nhttps://smtd.umich.edu/profiles/john-ellis/\n\nProf. Ellis will present his research into Marguerite Long\, the most important French female pianist of the 20th century\, who left her stamp on a whole epoch of musical life in Paris. His book on the topic\, *The Pedagogical Writings of Marguerite Long: A Reassessment of Her Impact on the French School of Piano*\, is published by Indiana University Press.\n\nEllis's work presents English translations of the two major contributions of Marguerite Long to the literature of piano pedagogy. These translations of her pedagogical works\, *Le Piano* and *La Petite Méthode de piano*\, provide a window to the old French school of pianism as modernized by Long. *Le Piano* is a remarkable text offering piano playing techniques and pragmatic and philosophical musings and observations about life\, musicians\, careers\, and more. *La Petite Méthode de piano* is a personal manifesto about how to introduce children to music. Both works are treasures revealing Long's lifelong commitment to teaching and they are still stunningly relevant.\n\nIn addition\, Prof. Ellis analyzes each work and puts it in historical context. He places special emphasis on Long's illustrious international career\, her teaching\, her rivalry with Alfred Cortot\, and the impact of sexism on her life and work. Ellis addresses the eclipse of Long's reputation by that of Cortot and fills a gap in the knowledge of Long's place in the history of pedagogical heritage.\n\nThis lecture and demonstration represents Prof. Ellis's longstanding interest in comparative pedagogy with an international perspective.

A moment in New England\, a moment on Earth. With their 2024 release\, Softly Softly\, Paul Wright (cello/vocals) and Tim Harrington (guitar/vocals) reject isolation\; both the universal experience of the early 2020s\, and its sound recording definition where different instruments are recorded separately. Harrington explains\, \"The opposite of isolation in recording is bleed\, where you hear the drums and guitar through the vocal mic because everything is happening in the same room. It's risky because you can't easily change it later. You're stuck with whatever you get. Bleeding is just the perfect word for it. It's scary and it sometimes hurts.\"\n\nAfter the pandemic\, Ben Folds invited the Boston-based duo to Nashville to make his latest album\, \"What Matters Most\" (New West 2023). Following this month-long apprenticeship under Folds\, Tall Heights became focused on records that testify to a specific place and time. They started drawing inspiration from classic Simon and Garfunkel albums like Bookends and Bridge Over Troubled Water. Their focus narrowed to \"something pretty simple actually\,\" Wright explains\, \"to capture a real moment with real people in an actual room.\"\n\nFor 10 days in rural Massachusetts\, the childhood friends captured brand new songs in an old fashioned way. The album maintains their unique vocal blend\, which has earned them nearly half a billion streams\, but it feels more spontaneous and timeless than their previous work. Softly Softly is out everywhere October 18\, 2024.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621445@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241117T120003 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241117T111100 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241117T121100 SUMMARY:Other:H2O Sunday Service DESCRIPTION:Come join us for praise and worship with students and alumni from UoM at the Rackham Building (4th floor).

Since 2004\, Glazer has been lead faculty and head of ceramics at Henry Ford College\, and former faculty of Concord College (WV) and North Dakota State University. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the country.\n\nThroughout his adult life the art of Steve Glazer has been done as a response to his environment. From a series of shadow box type pieces containing life like ceramic fish while teaching at a Catholic woman’s college\, to building 8’ tall ceramic “skyscrapers” that barely fit into the display spaces while teaching in North Dakota\, where no skyscrapers exist\, and then creating installations commenting on living in Appalachia while teaching in southern West Virginia. After returning home to Detroit\, Glazer began his griot series\, the “Motor City Griot Society” masks\, the faces of the superheroes that will save Detroit\, and more recently the “Motor City Griot Patrol” creatures that will protect the city of Detroit.

She collects and arranges images\, builds and subtracts\, and uses processes that suit the concepts and gives the pieces a reason for existing as textiles. Simultaneously she strives to make the medium influence the outcome in such a way that cloth and image meld together. Moran uses silkscreen\, shibori\, and stitching to embed images from her daily walks into the fabric. it's important that the work builds slowly\, involving meditative processes that connect her to the cloth and the source of the design.\n\nGallery hours: Monday-Friday\, 9 am to 5pm or by appointment serrag@med.umich.edu UID:124224-21852743@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124224 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Detroit,Exhibition,Free,Graduate Students,North Campus,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241022T124308 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241118T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241118T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Touch DESCRIPTION:Ericka Lopez is a visual artist born in Mexico and living in Los Angeles. Lopez lost her sight at an early age and is mostly non-verbal. This exhibition of tactile assemblage works and gestural coiled pots were created by the artist through touch and texture\, colored by memory. The works are sensory\, physical\, immediate\, reaffirming\, and deeply expressive. Viewers to this exhibition are invited to touch the work. \n\nDuring her residency\, the artist and her support team\, which includes her mother and translator\, will engage directly with students in the exhibition space\, offering a transformative experience based on human expression and connection through art. Because Ericka feels most comfortable when she is working\, she plans to make artwork with students as part of the class engagements with the exhibition.\n\nAbout Ericka Lopez\nBorn 1987 in Mexico\, Ericka Lopez has been making art at Tierra del Sol Studios since 2019. Working across ceramic\, fiber\, and mixed media constructions\, Lopez’s practice is centralized around her exploration of touch. Lopez was born with limited vision and is now completely blind. Lopez trained in massage therapy and previously volunteered at a soup kitchen when an encounter with Tierra’s ceramics studio shifted her trajectory toward fine art. Her masterful command of clay hand-building techniques enables Lopez to create intricate\, dynamic\, and organically structured coil vessels. Lopez’s works are informed by her finite recollection of color\; she requests specific shades and combinations of glazes that generate spontaneous\, distinctive surfaces when fired. This intuitive approach continues in her fiber wall works and mixed media sculptures. Utilizing punch rug embroidery\, Lopez creates abstract fields of yarn and found objects\, often repeatedly punching through the same area to yield densely layered sections. Lopez has learned to identify the color of her materials via scent and feel\, a process that is difficult to put into words. Her mixed media sculptures are created almost entirely by touch\, consisting of threads\, buttons\, beads\, fabric scraps\, and found objects instinctively stitched together using simple sewing techniques. Lopez hopes her works can be experienced through an inquiry of touch.\n\nEricka Lopez has exhibited her artwork at Laband Gallery and Tierra del Sol Gallery in Los Angeles\, CA. Lopez’s debut solo exhibition\, “Continuous Touch\,” was curated by jill moniz for Tierra del Sol Gallery in the Spring of 2023. She has had works acquired by notable private collections such as that of Beth DeWoody and by the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum at UC Long Beach.

The group’s name\, rummage\, evokes both a materiality and an intellectual practice characteristic of museum studies more broadly. On the one hand\, rummaging has a tactile quality. It gestures to the human role in how objects are placed and misplaced\, organized and disorganized\, thrown into juxtaposition\, and often randomly re-discovered anew by individuals negotiating various value systems associated with objects. It evokes an image of coming to objects of the past with new eyes and curiosity. On the other hand\, rummaging could also be used to describe an intellectual approach. In posing questions about the how and why certain narratives come to be exhibited and interpreted\, we root around historical understandings of heritage and the power dynamics that lead certain narratives to become dominant. This process is guided by curiosity\, a drive to understand\, and a skepticism of ordering systems.  UID:128021-21860065@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/128021 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:Tappan 210 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241003T114739 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241118T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241118T140000 SUMMARY:Other:Trans and Nonbinary Passport Clinic DESCRIPTION:The School of Social Work Office of Global Activities\, U-M Spectrum Center\, and U-M Center for Global and Intercultural Study are collaborating to host a Trans and Nonbinary Passport Clinic.

In actuality\, though\, many members of the higher education community continue to face marginalization and othering within their professional and educational spaces. This session centers around an embodied case study depicting one woman’s reflections on her experiences of higher education that sent a persistent\, systemic message that she didn’t belong. Through session activities\, participants will consider how these messages manifest and why they continue to occur despite the extensive labor of individuals sincerely committed to advancing equity. Together\, they brainstorm possibilities for changes that could increase equity at a systems level. This session is appropriate for faculty\, graduate students\, and academic leaders.\nThis session can be offered in a fully virtual\, synchronous format (90 minutes) or a fully in-person synchronous format (120 minutes).\n**The video performance portion of this session contains strong language. It includes explicit descriptions of racist and classist behaviors and the impact of systemic inequities on individuals and communities.\nRegistration is required at https://myumi.ch/jZeQ5.\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.

Motivated by this\, in 1962\, Jan Mycielski and Hugo Steinhaus proposed the Axiom of Determinacy—an axiom for ZF\, based on certain omega-infinite two-player games—which serves as an alternative to the AC that avoids most of its less desirable consequences. In this talk\, we will provide an intuitive understanding of the Axiom of Determinacy and explore some of its consequences\, as well as its incompatibility with the Axiom of Choice.

Recent measurements of the CMB lensing power spectrum are providing precise and competitive cosmological parameter constraints of the standard cosmological model LCDM\, informing the “S8 tension” and further constraining the sum of neutrino masses. SPT-3G is a high-resolution\, high-sensitivity mm-wave camera installed on the 10-m South Pole Telescope\, ideal for measurements of CMB lensing. I will discuss the on-going CMB lensing measurements using SPT-3G data and showcase forecasts of cosmological parameter constraints with CMB lensing alone and combined with SPT-3G primary CMB spectra measurements. I will discuss the impact of extragalactic foregrounds on these measurements and on delensing for BICEP/Keck. I will conclude with field-level modeling of these foregrounds in the context of CMB lensing using generative neural networks.

His research focuses on personalized\, integrative\, and science-informed data analytics. Naichen is interested in developing statistical and optimization tools to address real-world challenges across multiple science and engineering domains\, including Digital Twins\, advanced manufacturing\, and transcriptomics. He has published several papers in both methodological and applied journals and conferences\, including the Journal of Machine Learning Research (JMLR)\, Technometrics\, NeurIPS\, and the Journal of Manufacturing Systems. Naichen has received four best paper recognitions from the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS)\, including winning the 2024 INFORMS Data Mining Best General Paper Competition.\n\nAbstract: Data is increasingly being collected from distributed and often heterogeneous sources\, such as smartphones\, connected vehicles\, and healthcare devices. While much effort has focused on predictive learning under heterogeneity\, I argue in this talk that predictive modeling\, without untangling the nature of heterogeneity across users\, may lead to significant failures. With this in mind\, I present a descriptive framework called Personalized Principal Component Analysis (PCA) that answers the simple question: What is shared\, and what is unique? Specifically\, we introduce an efficient algorithm to extract identifiable global and local PCs based on distributed manifold gradient descent. The algorithm is proved to converge linearly and output results with statistical errors that almost match the lower bound. Building on this\, I then highlight our research on predictive modeling under heterogeneity and discuss its implications for collaborative machine learning and interoperable Digital Twins.

Colin Leach (he/they) will discuss a transdisciplinary project that uses micro (behavioral experiments\, psychophysiology) and macro (news and social media) empirical approaches to trace the psychological and social dynamics of this sentiment in the U.S.\n\nThe RCGD Seminar Series on the Social Psychology of Systemic Racism meets Mondays from 3:30 to 5 at ISR Thompson 1430. When speaker permission is given\, events will be recorded and posted within a few weeks to YouTube.\n\nThe Social Psychology of Systemic Racism\nWhat are the points of connection between structures and individuals when we think about bias? In the Fall 2024 RCGD Seminar Series “The Social Psychology of Systemic Racism\,” an all-star lineup of behavioral and political psychologists will define what\, in their words\, makes systemic racism systemic\, and how extra-individual levels of analysis could be incorporated in social psychological theories and methods.\n\nGroup Dynamics Seminar Series\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\nBio\nColin Wayne Leach (B.A. 1989\, M.A. 1991\, Boston University\; Ph.D. 1995\, University of Michigan) is a social and personality psychologist who studies status and morality in identity\, emotion\, and motivation.

I will describe their local structure\, as well as the geometry of a $P$-ordinary family $C_\pi$\, using the theory of types. Then\, I will introduce a $p$-adic family of Eisenstein series (an Eisenstein measure) that is “compatible” with $C_\pi$\, using an algebraic version of the doubling method. I will conclude by explaining how this Eisenstein measure corresponds to a $p$-adic $L$-function for $C_\pi$ viewed as an element of a $P$-ordinary Hecke algebra. These results generalize the ones obtained by Eischen-Harris-Li-Skinner in the ordinary setting and are from the speaker’s thesis.

Most exact results have been known either for radially symmetric potential or for so-called Hele-Shaw potential\, where the limiting density of the Coulomb gas is uniform over its support. When the potential is not Hele-Shaw type nor radially symmetric\, we expect to observe a new type of singular behaviors. Unfortunately\, in such cases\, there is no known multiple orthogonality that we can use for asymptotic analysis of the planar polynomials. \n\nIn this talk\, we will propose a matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem for some polynomial potential that is not radially symmetric and not Hele-Shaw type. More explicitly we will consider the case when the Laplacian of the potential is |z|^2. This work is a preliminary report of the work by Abril Arenas and by Seong-Mi Seo.\n\nEmail eblackst@umich.edu for the zoom link.

This talk will discuss an algebraic solution to this problem using only the four arithmetic operations. We will show how a new type of frieze pattern can be employed to arrange the measurement data. These friezes exhibit glide symmetry and a version of the Laurent phenomenon.

As it turned out\, it was also the last. Although the team went on to publish widely in other fields\, it has not continued to make available its work in the human sciences. This paper explores how language-processing software—explicitly trained to harvest narratives of trauma—was employed in the study to quantify emotional valence. In an atmosphere of rapid social and technological change around 2012\, researchers applied processing software and computational analysis to alter the algorithms delivering manipulated News Feeds to almost 700\,000 unwitting Facebook users. The experiment formed a watershed in creating coercive conditions around social media exposure. I examine how emotional contagion—a pre-existing concept in psychological studies but one that researchers calculated and computed in new ways in 2012—was operationalized and with what consequences.

The moduli space of all quadratic rational maps is isomorphic to C^2\, and we can also understand the space of quadratic polynomials as a special curve within this space in which one critical point is marked as a fixed point. Other natural curves within the moduli space of quadratic rational maps of longstanding interest are the curves in which one critical point is marked as in an n-cycle. In this talk\, we speak about the topology and combinatorics of these curves and their bifurcation locus\, paying particular attention to how structure from the Mandelbrot set (\"matings\" and \"captures\") can shed light on questions about the irreducibility of these curves.

Goldsmiths research agency Forensic Architecture has won a prestigious human rights award in recognition of its pioneering work. The Right Livelihood Award\, also known as the Alternative Nobel\, aims to “honour and support those offering practical and exemplary answers to the most urgent challenges facing us today”.\n\nHe is the author of many books\, including Hollow Land\, The Least of all Possible Evils\, Investigative Aesthetics\, The Roundabout Revolutions\, The Conflict Shoreline and Forensic Architecture. Eyal held positions in many universities worldwide including Princeton\, ETH Zurich and the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. He is a member of the Technology Advisory Board of the International Criminal Court and of the Centre for Investigative Journalism.\n\nIn 2019 he was elected life fellow of the British Academy. In 2020 he received an MBE for ‘services to architecture’ and in 2021 the London Design Award. Forensic Architecture is the recipient of a Peabody Award for interactive media and the European Cultural Foundation Award for Culture.\n\nEyal studied architecture at the Architectural Association\, graduating in 1998. He received his PhD in 2006 from the London Consortium at Birkbeck\, University of London.\n\nIn honor and memory of renowned architect Charles Correa (B. Arch. ’53)\, The Charles Correa Charitable Trust\, through an endowed gift\, established the Charles Correa International Lecture Fund in order to support the yearly Charles Correa Lecture at Taubman College\, featuring an international architect.\n\nBorn in India and educated in the U.S.\, Charles Correa’s work reflects an international perspective.

There’s a different vibe onstage from what comes through in our recordings. There’s a difference in every show as well\, you never know what you’re going to get.”\n\nYarn’s ability to persevere ought to come as no great surprise\, especially for a band that spent two years honing their chops during a Monday night residency at the famed Kenny’s Castaway in New York’s Greenwich Village. In effect\, it allowed them to rehearse onstage\, mostly in front of audiences that often ranged in size from five to a hundred people on any given night. 10 studio albums followed. The band then took to the road\, playing upwards of 170 shows a year at any number of prestigious venues. They have landed on the Grammy ballot 4 times\, garnered nods from the Americana Music Association\, placed top five on both Radio and Records and the AMA album charts\, been streamed millions of times on Spotify\, and accorded the “Download of the Day” from Rolling Stone. Shine the Light On found shared songwriting credits with John Oates (the Oates of Hall & Oates fame)\, and when audiences expressed their admiration\, it brought the band a populist cult following of diehard devotees\, popularly known as “the Yarmy.”  \n\nIt’s proof positive that the Brooklyn and Raleigh based band have made their mark\, and in dealing with their emotions\, scars and circumstances\, they find themselves in a position to share those experiences with others who have juggled similar sentiments.

Developed by 2022-2023 Knight-Wallace and the Ford School's Center for Racial Justice Fellow Makeda Easter\, the series includes interviews with over 30 artists from various disciplines — including visual arts\, dance\, film\, and drag — to understand how much artists are paid for their work\, how work is priced\, and how artists feel about their overall financial security. Making it: $napshots from the Artist Pay Project by Makeda Easter is a visually-immersive\, physical manifestation of this work\, advocating for both the value of art in our society and higher wages for working artists. \n\nMaking it: $napshots from the Artist Pay Project is sponsored by the U-M Arts Initiative and Impact Studio.
