The current ferocious debate over the value and future of a liberal arts \u2028education in America is marked by a failure on all sides to answer these questions. By looking at the general history of the liberal arts in some of America\u2019s leading \u2028universities and a case study of University of Michigan, this lecture will attempt to clarify and explain its history. Seen in this historical context, the liberal arts today may be both more and less than its advocates and critics contend.\r\n\r\nTerrence McDonald became the Director of the Bentley Historical Library at the UM after serving for ten years as Dean of the University\u2019s college of liberal arts, called the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. \u2028He joined the UM faculty after receiving his doctorate in American history from Stanford University.\r\n\r\nThis is the third in a six-lecture series.

A board\u2014including affiliated directors representing important stakeholders together with independent directors with subject matter expertise\u2014governs the market. A goal of the market is to provide a secure, robust, wide-coverage platform for mobile communications supporting public safety and universal service. Public safety has pre-emptive rights during emergencies and otherwise has economic use like wholesale operators. A complementary goal is competition. The open access provision brings vibrant competition through low-cost, non-discriminatory entry into the wireless market. The market provides a natural remedy for mergers, allowing operational efficiency gains while increasing competition. Critical funding is provided through efficient congestion pricing that balances supply and demand at every time and location. The market, enabled by flexible handsets and the LTE technology, radically reforms current spectrum policy. The market coexists and complements the dedicated networks of incumbent carriers, promoting efficient spectrum use and essential innovation.", "occurrence_notes":null,

In this thesis, we focus on inferring the structure underlying an observed network, which can be thought of as a noisy random realization of the unobserved true structure. \u00a0\u200bDifferent applications focus on different types of underlying structure; \u00a0one question of broad interest is finding a community structure, with communities typically defined as groups of nodes that share similar connectivity patterns. \u00a0 \u200bOne common and widely used model for describing\u200b a community structure\u200b in a network is the stochastic block model. \u00a0 This model has attracted a lot of attention because of its tractable theoretical properties, but it is also well known to oversimplify the structure observed in real world networks and often does not fit the data well. \u00a0 Thus there has been a recent push to expand the stochastic block model in various ways to make it closer to what we observe in the real world, and this thesis makes several contributions to this effort. \u00a0\r\n\r\nWe first study the problem of detecting communities \u200bin the\u200b presence of additional node features.\u200b Many\u200b existing methods detect communities based only on \u200bthe \u200bobserved edges between nodes, but in many networks, additional information on node features is available.\u200b \u00a0Recent methods for community detection that\u200b incorporate node features\u200b typically either depend heavily on correct model specification, which is hard to verify, and\/or do not attempt to perform feature selection.\u00a0 Including features related to communities can improve community detection, but including unrelated features amounts to adding noise to the data and \u200b\u200bcan lead to \u200bsubstantial\u200b reductions in accuracy\u200b.\u00a0 In this thesis,\u200b we propose a mod\u200bel\u200b\u200bl\u200b-free joint criterion\u200b for community detection with node features, with the ability to select only relevant features. \u200b \u200bWe show that the underlying new community detection criterion has appropriate theoretical performance guarantees and the method is effective on both simulated and real networks. \u00a0\u200b\r\n\r\n\u200bAnother direction we explore in this thesis \u200bis modeling and detecting overlapping communities. While community detection is commonly formulated as a partition problem, in practice communities in networks tend to overlap. Developing a good model for overlapping communities has been a challenge, due to identifiability issues and computational costs, although a number of special cases have been addressed.\u00a0 We propose a novel overlapping model that generalizes the stochastic block model and includes many of the previously studied overlapping models as special cases.\u00a0 The model is flexible and general but maintains identifiability and interpretability of parameters.\u00a0 We propose a fast algorithm to fit this model, establish its consistency, and demonstrate the method outperforms a large number of benchmarks on\u00a0both simulated and real data examples.\r\n\r\n\u200bThe final contribution of this thesis is a novel method\u200b \u00a0to estimate edge probabilities\u200b from a single observed network, a task closely related to the so-called graphon estimation problem.\u00a0 The stochastic block model is able to infer this underlying edge probability matrix from a single observation by assuming the underlying probability function (the graphon) consists of constant blocks; \u00a0we deal with the much more general case of piecewise Lipschitz continuous functions. \u00a0 Our estimator leverages a core technique of classical nonparametric statistics, neighborhood averaging, solving the challenge of defining suitable neighborhoods on networks. \u00a0 The method is fast and accurate, and adapts to a large range of different graphon families. \u00a0 We also show that it achieves the best theoretical error rate among currently known polynomial time methods for this problem.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"30449-3494532@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/30449", "building_id":"1000167", "building_name":"West Hall", "campus_maps_id":"163", "room":"438", "location_name":"West Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Dissertation"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Statistics", "group_id":"3473", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":3494532 } , "29616-3148222": { "datetime_modified":"20160310T171919", "datetime_start":"20160421T130000", "datetime_end":"20160421T150000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2016-04-21", "date_end":"2016-04-21", "time_start":"13:00:00", "time_end":"15:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Dogs in the Library!", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Dogs in the Library!", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Recreational \/ Games", "event_type_id":"18", "description":"Shake off end-of-semester stress while relaxing with a furry friend.

The research that our team has done on large-scale architecture, engineering and construction projects presented us with a paradox: More detailed visualizations made it easier for interdisciplinary teams to identify and agree upon problems while making it harder for them to generate solutions. The answer to this paradox, we think, is in the communication strategies that teams use, including their choice of communication medium. \r\n\r\nThis talk is drawn from a book manuscript based on eight years of field research in contemporary architecture, engineering and construction--industries undergoing historic change in response to a new digital tool. The tool, Building Information Modeling (BIM), has significantly shifted how architects and engineers communicate designs and challenged industry norms and legla standards. While BIM gave teams new ways of representing buildings, sharing data and managing information flows, it took away one of their most important strategies for innovation: ambiguity.\r\n\r\nFor design, our research shows the importance of understanding what multidisciplinary teams need for identifying problems and generating solutions to those problems. For scholars of technology and innovation, our research extends the understanding of visualizations for interpretive flexibility and the role malleable media play in teams. For practitioners, our study can inform conscious choices about design workspaces, tools and processes. \r\n\r\nAbout the speaker:\r\n\r\nGina Neff is a sociologist who studies how new communication and data-intensive technologies impact work, companies, and society.
