In this book, Arakel and Armenia-based writer Anahit Ghazaryan narrate a moment in time that found Arakel navigating life in Armenia as a Lebanese-Armenian diasporan from Canada. Written as a set of correspondences between Arakel and Anahit on topics ranging from everyday interactions to specific musings on language and dialect, the book also narrates a meeting between the two major standards of Armenian \u2013 Arakel\u2019s Western Armenian, the standard of much of the post-genocide Armenian diaspora, and Anahit\u2019s Eastern Armenian, the standard of the post-Soviet Armenian Republic. Written in their respective dialects (and their different orthographies), Anahit and Arakel\u2019s dialogue illustrates the growing and complicated interactions between these two standards at the same time as it stages a discussion on diaspora, home, and the various meanings of Armenianness in the present-day. First published in Yerevan in 2022 with a grant from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, *Sahmanakhagh(kht)* is now in its second printing. This event will feature a discussion with Arakel Minassian in English, as well as readings in both Armenian and English translation. Books will be available for purchase.\r\n \r\n Arakel Minassian is a PhD student in the University of Michigan\u2019s Department of Comparative Literature. His research focuses on 20th century Armenian literature and how writers creatively and differently engage Armenian and non-Armenian traditions across locales as diverse as Istanbul, Paris, and Soviet Yerevan. Looking at nodes like multilingualism, diaspora, and world literature, he tries to find novel ways of reading 20th century Armenian literary history. Arakel has also published several translations from Armenian, including Zabel Yesayan\u2019s 1918 book *The Agony of a People *and Yeghishe Charents\u2019 1920 poem *Vision of Death*, among other works.\r\n \r\n Webinar ID\r\n 924 1095 7575\r\n https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/92410957575\r\n \r\nCosponsor: National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR)\r\n\r\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us.

In her lecture, Ms. Al-Karib will reflect on her experiences advocating for human rights in the African context and how it mirrors the fight for civil rights in the United States.\r\n\r\n\"I grew up in the diminishing shadows of the African liberation movements. My childhood recollections were filled with long political debates among my parents, their friends, older cousins, and uncles about memories of leaders like Biko of South Africa, Senghor of Senegal, Nkrumah of Ghana, Nyerere of Tanzania, Nasser of Egypt, and Patrice Lumumba of the Congo. Naturally, this history has shaped my political consciousness.\r\n\r\nLater in my life, I discovered that at the same time, another liberation movement was unfolding across the Atlantic, where young men and women of African descent were challenging a system that disregarded their humanity; they also vigorously strived for equality, justice, and human rights. In this conversation I am going to have with you, I will seek to illustrate how the quest for liberation and decolonization in Africa parallels the civil rights movement in America; both movements are reflecting our extended struggle to cross over that bridge towards a peaceful and just society.\"\r\n\r\nCommentator\r\n\r\nCarina Ray\r\nA.M. and H.P.

We begin by deriving the infinitesimal generator of the Langevin diffusion and the associated Fokker\u2013Planck equation, which governs the evolution of probability densities. This correspondence allows us to characterize invariant (stationary) distributions and to analyze qualitative dynamical behavior, including probability flow and transition times between modes of the distributions.\r\n\r\nExploiting the special Gibbs form of the stationary distribution, we show how overdamped Langevin dynamics can be used as a practical sampling mechanism for high-dimensional target distributions. We then compare classical Metropolis\u2013Hastings algorithms with Langevin-based methods, highlighting their respective strengths, such as improved scalability with data through gradient information, as well as their limitations, including discretization bias and sensitivity to step size. We conclude with remarks on challenges that arise when applying Langevin-based samplers to latent-variable models, such as latent Dirichlet allocation and tree-structured latent variable models, where other methods such as Variational Inference perform much quicker with great results.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"143954-21894310@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/143954", "building_id":"1000166", "building_name":"East Hall", "campus_maps_id":"53", "room":"3088", "location_name":"East Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Applied Mathematics"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Student AIM Seminar - Department of Mathematics", "group_id":"4902", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Mathematics", "group_id":"3791", "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":21894310 } , "142237-21890255": { "datetime_modified":"20251126T124446", "datetime_start":"20260121T160000", "datetime_end":"20260121T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-01-21", "date_end":"2026-01-21", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Thompson Sampling Algorithm for Stochastic Differential Games", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Thompson Sampling Algorithm for Stochastic Differential Games: Ruolan He, UM", "event_subtitle":"Ruolan He, UM", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"We study a stochastic differential game with $N$ competitive players in a linear-quadratic framework with ergodic cost, where $d$-dimensional diffusion processes govern the state dynamics with an unknown common drift (matrix).
