CSAAW Talk: Considering Human Conversation as a Complex System: Some Early Success and a Lot of Failures (March 23, 2017 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/39779 39779-8308729@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 23, 2017 12:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: The Center for the Study of Complex Systems

Imagine you are having a delightful conversation with a friend on a sunny afternoon in the Quad. With what degree of precision do you think you can predict the next thing your friend will say? Maybe you can guess the type of speech act, but the exact words? What about what your friend will say in five minutes? For that matter, with what degree of precision to you think you can predict exactly what you will say in five minutes? It seems impossible. However, we know conversations must follow some type of agreed upon rules, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to carry on conversions or to produce the types of outcomes that we desire (e.g., agreement, support, idea development). Though conversations are the basic mechanism by which humans accomplish everything from meeting a new person to building an economic system, we know very little about how conversations work. If we understood, Siri, Cortana, Alexa and Watson would be able to form a study group! We will be presenting findings from research in which we are trying to discover the rules that give rise to the apparent complexity of human communication. We’ll describe a novel approach to studying conversations and present a variety of results ranging from some successes to lots of failures, in hopes of stimulating some great feedback from the CSAAW group.

Gendering Robots: Robo-Sexism in Japan Today (March 29, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/39915 39915-8412091@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 29, 2017 4:00pm
Location: Tappan Hall
Organized By: History of Art

Modes of embodiment of artificial intelligence, including humanoid robots, call attention to the artifice and mutability of gendered identities. Yet, cutting-edge technologies are deployed (in Japan and elsewhere) to recuperate the binary construction of the sex-gender system and to reinforce heteronormative conventions of being in the world.

Jennifer Robertson is Professor of Anthropology and the History of Art at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She has a non-budgeted appointment in the Department of Women's Studies and in the School of Art and Design. She is also a faculty associate in the Anthropology/History Program. Robertson is a former director and member of the Center for Japanese Studies, a faculty member of the Robotics Institute, and a faculty associate in the Science, Society and Technology Program.

The Audiovisual Essay and the Digital Humanities Mini-Conference (March 31, 2017 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/39456 39456-8069320@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 31, 2017 9:00am
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Department of Film, Television, and Media

This mini-conference will act as a critical introduction to the audiovisual essay that seeks to assess its scholarly and pedagogical applications while bringing several of its proponents in cinema and media studies into conversation with digital humanists working in a range of disciplines at the University of Michigan. The mini-conference will explore methodological questions relevant to digital scholarship and pedagogy
while pressing new questions about the utility of audiovisual essays outside of cinema and media studies, and considering the possible place of audiovisual essays within digital humanities debates.
Opening remarks: Matthew Solomon (SAC); Moderator: Anita Gonzalez (SMTD); Panelists: Jason Mitchell (Middlebury College), Mark Williams (Dartmouth University), Steven Anderson (UCLA); Respondent: Paul Conway (School of Information).

The four Clements Library curators have each contributed to this exhibit a selection of interesting, remarkable, or peculiar items. As we celebrate the return of the Clements collection to 909 South University Avenue, we invite you to peruse a few of the oddball items that have turned up in a great library.

At the Cutting Edge: Michigan in 1817 (April 4, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/37974 37974-6814976@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 4, 2017 4:00pm
Location: William Clements Library
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

When the University of Michigan was founded in 1817 it was located in the capitol of a raw frontier territory that was yet twenty years away from achieving statehood. Much of the Michigan Territory was still in the hands of several Native American nations. Euro-American settlement was found only in the Southeast and at the Straits of Mackinac. The proper surveying of Michigan would not begin for another year. And, only five years earlier, Detroit and Mackinac had been captured and occupied by the British during the War of 1812. Establishing an institution of higher learning in this rough territory was a gamble indeed.

Brian Leigh Dunnigan, Curator of Maps at the University of Michigan's William L. Clements Library, will present a talk describing what Michigan was like when the U-M first opened its doors to scholars. Using images of original maps, art, architecture, and letters from the amazing collections of the Clements Library, he will transport you back to the Michigan of 200 years ago.

Fragments Workshop. Interacting with Text in Early Imperial China and Beyond. (April 7, 2017 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/39860 39860-8394889@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 7, 2017 11:00am

Organized By: Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS)

This seminar will feature commentators Varuni Bhatia (Asian Languages & Cultures) and Roger Bagnall (ISAW).

Archaeological finds in China during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have added unprecedented depth and detail to our understanding of premodern Chinese history. This paper synthesizes recovered manuscript materials from Gansu and Inner Mongolia to argue that the soldiers in the northwest border area during the Han dynasty constituted a literate community of commoners linked to the broader textual culture of the empire. I bring in a new interpretive framework, incorporate new sources, and reconsider previously known materials to challenge common assumptions about textual culture in early China. The implications of my study undermine received understandings of power in early society. Where scholars have often viewed text and the power associated with it as the exclusive province of elites, I demonstrate that these capabilities existed throughout society.

STS Speaker. The Seductions of Quantification: The Politics of Measuring Human Rights and Gender Violence (April 10, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/36815 36815-5922827@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 10, 2017 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Science, Technology & Society

An intense preoccupation with numbers is sweeping the worlds of international and domestic governance, based on the idea that political decisions must be made on the basis of objective quantitative data. Using examples from the measurement of gender violence and human rights compliance, this talk argues that despite the value of quantitative data and indicators, they are produced within particular political contexts and cultural frameworks and categories. Indicators promise to provide objective information as the basis for governance, but my ethnographic examination of the production and use of indicators shows that they should be understood as political and cultural artifacts as well.

2017 Aiton Lecture. South American Newspapers in the Era of Submarine Cables (April 12, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/39862 39862-8394891@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 12, 2017 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Department of History

This talk examines newspapers in late nineteenth-century Buenos Aires in order to analyze the effects of the submarine telegraph cable. After a brief description of the cable's installation, it traces how international news was circulated, focusing particularly on the role of Havas, the first European press agency to provide such news to South America. The analysis focuses on two dimensions of the submarine cable's effect: changes in the spatial breadth of news coverage, and the acceleration of news circulation. The talk argues that the incorporation of the press into the submarine cable network was part of a long process that introduced extremely fragmented representation of the world and placed new reading demands on South American news consumers.

How can you distinguish between credible information and “fake news?” Reliable information is at the heart of what makes an effective democracy, yet many people find it harder to differentiate trustworthy journalism from propaganda. Increasingly, inaccurate information is shared on social networks and amplified by a growing number of explicitly partisan news outlets. This Teach-Out course will examine the processes that generate both accurate and inaccurate news stories and the factors that lead people to believe those stories. Participants will gain skills help them to distinguish fact from fiction.

A Teach Out is a free online course that takes place in a fixed, short period of time (1 week). Each Teach Out provides an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people with just a 3-4 hour commitment over the span of a week.

U-M Box is approved for most types of sensitive data, including HIPAA. However, the inherent technical security and legal agreements are not enough. It is critical that people storing sensitive data in Box are aware of their responsibility in properly configuring and providing access to files in Box.

This session will demonstrate how to securely use U-M Box to store and collaborate on sensitive or regulated data including hiding collaborators from each other, allowing access to data by only by named collaborators, choosing the right permission levels, and advanced features that enhance security.
Summary material will be provided, allowing participants to take concrete guidance back to the office, along with web links to reference for continuously updated information.

Everyone - non-scientists and scientists alike - has some form of expertise, but communicating across a gap in knowledge or experience is challenging. In this Teach-Out, we address this challenge by helping participants to develop core communication skills and more effectively communicate with one another.

Participants will learn why science communication is both essential and fundamentally challenging. Experts in three broad areas of public engagement with science - Policy & Advocacy, Education & Outreach, and Science in the Media - will weigh in to share their knowledge. Anyone with a STEM story to tell will have the opportunity to develop a better understanding of their audience, craft a clear message, weave a compelling story, and practice giving and receiving feedback on science communications. And all participants will be able to engage in a series of discussions addressing key issues in science communication.

Because the practice of science encourages dialogue, requires diverse perspectives, and has no political agenda, we hope this Teach-Out is a useful step in encouraging more science conversations between individuals and their local, national, and global communities.

A Teach Out is a free online course that takes place in a fixed, short period of time (1 week). Each Teach Out provides an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people with just a 3-4 hour commitment over the span of a week.

Location: North Quad
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery and Engineering

Many scientific disciplines are rapidly increasing the size, variety and complexity of data they must work with. As the data grows, scientists are challenged to manage, share and analyze that data and become diverted from a focus on their scientific research to data-access and data-management concerns. Even more problematic is determining how to support many scientists sharing and accessing this ever increasing amount of data.

The Center is working to respond to those challenges broadly. Included in the Center is the NSF-funded OSiRIS project, a collaborative, multi-university venture led by MICDE faculty, and hosted by ARC-TS.

The following questions illustrate some of the focus areas the Center is seeking to address:

What are the best practices for collaboratively working on large, potentially diverse or distributed, datasets?
What tools, technologies and techniques are most effective at addressing the challenges faced by such researchers?
How should data best be stored, organized, indexed and made accessible to improve the ability of scientists to jointly work with one another, especially across the dimensions of time and space?
This symposium is intended to bring together those interested in these questions to share experiences and best practices, and to discuss both challenges and possible solutions that enable scientists to work together on “big, distributed or diverse data”.

Speakers will come from a wide range of research domains, as well as federal funding agencies:
* Shawn McKee, U-M Physics Department, Director of the Center for Network and Storage Enabled Collaborative Computational Science
* Amy Friedlander, Deputy Division Director, Division of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (CISE/ACI), National Science Foundation.

The rapid mobilization of digitized biodiversity data, led largely in the United States by the National Science Foundation’s Advancing Digitization of Biodiversity Collections program, has resulted in a substantial increase in available data for research and related activities. This conference will encompass the uses of digitized data across all biodiversity disciplines, with special emphasis on digitized specimen data and the potential for “big data” analytics in organismal biology. This conference will provide an important opportunity to explore digital data tools, techniques, discoveries, and outcomes across the biodiversity sciences.

Oral presentations and posters will emphasize the use of digital data for biodiversity research, inclusive of the neontological and paleontological domains. Emphases might include:

* published or publishable biodiversity research that depends on digital datasets

* systematics and the use of digital data

* ongoing research projects that derive from and use digital datasets

* gaps and deficiencies in currently available digital data that hinder effective use,

* user critiques of digital data aggregators and providers

* integrated digitization/data use/research pipelines

* standards and practices for depositing and documenting open access digital datasets

* the role and relevance of “Big Data” in biodiversity research

* use of digitized biodiversity data within the ecological sciences

* the relative importance of digital data derived from specimens vs. observations

* managing digital biodiversity data in support of research pipelines

* analyzing and visualizing biodiversity digital data

The planning team for the conference includes: Chris Dick, Dan Fisher, Rich Rabeler, Alison Davis Rabosky, Dan Rabosky, Adam Rountrey, Cody Thompson, and Priscilla Tucker from the University of Michigan, and Gil Nelson, Larry Page, Pam Soltis, and Alex Thompson from iDigBio.

The rapid mobilization of digitized biodiversity data, led largely in the United States by the National Science Foundation’s Advancing Digitization of Biodiversity Collections program, has resulted in a substantial increase in available data for research and related activities. This conference will encompass the uses of digitized data across all biodiversity disciplines, with special emphasis on digitized specimen data and the potential for “big data” analytics in organismal biology. This conference will provide an important opportunity to explore digital data tools, techniques, discoveries, and outcomes across the biodiversity sciences.

Oral presentations and posters will emphasize the use of digital data for biodiversity research, inclusive of the neontological and paleontological domains. Emphases might include:

* published or publishable biodiversity research that depends on digital datasets

* systematics and the use of digital data

* ongoing research projects that derive from and use digital datasets

* gaps and deficiencies in currently available digital data that hinder effective use,

* user critiques of digital data aggregators and providers

* integrated digitization/data use/research pipelines

* standards and practices for depositing and documenting open access digital datasets

* the role and relevance of “Big Data” in biodiversity research

* use of digitized biodiversity data within the ecological sciences

* the relative importance of digital data derived from specimens vs. observations

* managing digital biodiversity data in support of research pipelines

* analyzing and visualizing biodiversity digital data

The planning team for the conference includes: Chris Dick, Dan Fisher, Rich Rabeler, Alison Davis Rabosky, Dan Rabosky, Adam Rountrey, Cody Thompson, and Priscilla Tucker from the University of Michigan, and Gil Nelson, Larry Page, Pam Soltis, and Alex Thompson from iDigBio.

Cathy O'Neil, author of "Weapons of Math Destruction" (August 23, 2017 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/42896 42896-9675074@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, August 23, 2017 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

As part of the Michigan Institute for Data Science annual symposium, Cathy O'Neil, author of NYT best-seller "Weapons of Math Destruction," will speak.

Abstract: We live in the age of the algorithm. Increasingly, the decisions that affect our lives—where we go to school, whether we get a car loan, how much we pay for health insurance—are being made not by humans, but by mathematical models. In theory, this should lead to greater fairness: Everyone is judged according to the same rules, and bias is eliminated.
But as Cathy O’Neil reveals, the opposite is true. The models being used today are opaque, unregulated, and uncontestable, even when they’re wrong. Most troubling, they reinforce discrimination: If a poor student can’t get a loan because a lending model deems him too risky (by virtue of his zip code), he’s then cut off from the kind of education that could pull him out of poverty, and a vicious spiral ensues. Models are propping up the lucky and punishing the downtrodden, creating a “toxic cocktail for democracy.” Welcome to the dark side of Big Data.
Tracing the arc of a person’s life, O’Neil exposes the black box models that shape our future, both as individuals and as a society. These “weapons of math destruction” score teachers and students, sort résumés, grant (or deny) loans, evaluate workers, target voters, set parole, and monitor our health.
O’Neil calls on modelers to take more responsibility for their algorithms and on policy makers to regulate their use. But in the end, it’s up to us to become more savvy about the models that govern our lives. This important book empowers us to ask the tough questions, uncover the truth, and demand change.

Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Science, Technology, and Public Policy (STPP) Program

Talk summary: The process of technological displacement of workers began in the automobile industry in the 1960’s, and with the rise of connectivity and AI it is accelerating rapidly. For example, it may be no surprise, given what’s happened in the automobile industry, that the world’s first farm that is completely run by robots has just opened in Japan; or that a new robot is available for the construction industry that can lay bricks three times faster than a human. This kind of displacement of manual labor happened in previous industrial revolutions as well. More surprising, however, is the breadth of jobs that can be replaced by intelligent automation; it isn’t just manual labor that’s being replaced: even writers, for instance, are being displaced by computer software. In January, 2016, “the Associated Press (AP) revealed that [a software program called] Wordsmith has been rolling out content since July 2014 without any human intervention.” This Wordsmith software has been generating 1000 stories per month, which is “14 times more than the previous manual output of AP's reporters and editors.” In terms of sheer productivity, human writers cannot keep up with computers and robots. So what can we do as a society to compensate for technological unemployment, and to prevent the poverty, dislocation, and even violence that might follow, as it has in past industrial revolutions? My talk will present both the problems and possible short and longterm solutions to them.

Speaker Bio: Dr. Kevin LaGrandeur is Professor at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT), specializing in technology and culture. He is also a Fellow of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technology, an international think tank, and a co-founder of the NY Posthuman Research Group and of the Visual Pathways Technology Consortium (for researching tech apps for the blind). Dr. LaGrandeur has written many articles and conference presentations on digital culture; on Artificial Intelligence and ethics; and on literature and science. His publications have appeared in journals such as Computers & Texts, Computers and the Humanities, and Science Fiction Studies; in books such as Eloquent Images: Word and Image in the Age of New Media and Beyond Artificial Intelligence: The Disappearing Human-Machine Divide, which contains his essay, ‘Emotion, Artificial Intelligence, and Ethics.’ He has also published on Artificial Intelligence, society, and ethics in popular publications such as USA Today and United Press International (UPI). His book Artificial Slaves (Routledge, 2013), about the premodern cultural history of Artificial Intelligence and its foreshadowing of today’s technology, was Awarded a 2014 Science Fiction and Technoculture Studies Prize. In April, 2017, his latest book, co-edited with James Hughes, was published. About the future of AI’s displacement of human workers and how to meet this challenge, it is titled Surviving the Machine Age: Intelligent Technology and the Transformation of Human Work.

This event is free and open to the public.

DRW On-Campus Information Session, in collaboration with GEECS (September 18, 2017 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/44720 44720-9969000@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 18, 2017 6:00pm
Location: Herbert H. Dow Building
Organized By: Michigan Engineering

DRW, a leading trading and technology company in Chicago, in collaboration with GEECS, will be co-hosting an on-campus information session featuring Kelley Fernandez, a financial application support engineer at DRW. Kelley’s session will discuss a woman’s ability to both lead and contribute in vital programming, trading, and quantitative roles.

Kelley’s path to the trading world is unconventional and can serve as motivation to young women who are interested in such a career but don’t know where they’d fit in. Graduating from college with a political science degree, Kelley was introduced to the industry when she met someone from Toji Trading Group and had the opportunity to start out as a liaison between traders and developers. She began developing programs complementary to the trading systems, and eventually started leading the support of all the firm’s trading systems. Today, she carries on this very same role at DRW — one she never thought she’d have.

There is a common misconception that you have to be a quant developer working directly on a trading system to survive in trading. However, there are many other roles that build incredible and complex technology, both within trading systems — like Kelley’s role, which involves working within different parts of the systems — and outside them, in risk, infrastructure, etc.

Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

Information visualization is a powerfully compelling medium for working with digital scholarship. Through visualization, we build narratives that enable us to reframe the world and our experience of it in carefully crafted slices of space and time. But as both practitioners and consumers of visualization, we sometimes forget that visualization can tell us more about ourselves than it can about the world alone. In this talk, by way of examples of recent personal works in visualization, I reclaim an understanding of information visualization as a medium for constructing narratives about self, other, and the space between them.

Location: South Hall
Organized By: University of Michigan Law School

This conference will consider the varying, and to some extent conflicting, international perspectives on privacy and its points of tension with freedom of expression. We will begin with foundational concerns of legal theory: How is privacy conceived of and defined in various legal systems? To what extent does (and should) privacy serve as a limiting principle on freedom of expression? We will then move to more pragmatic questions about how these issue play out on the ground. Do heads of state have privacy rights that limit what can be said about them by the media and citizens? How do individuals with privacy concerns navigate the varying protections offered by different legal regimes? What challenges are posed to media and online entities that must determine how to comply with differing standards?

Advances in prenatal screening and genetic manipulation have the potential to all but eliminate birth defects and genetic disorders. For example, prenatal genetic testing in Iceland has almost completely erased incidents of down’s syndrome in newborns. This has led to growing concerns over creating designer babies, hyperbole about the potential for a new era of eugenics, and broader questions about whether science is outstripping societal or ethical norms in regards to human genetic diversity.

Join Joselin Linder, author of “The Family Gene”, and Jodyn Platt, assistant professor in the U-M Medical School in a panel discussion about the ethical, legal, and social implications of genetics and newborn screening. The conversation will be moderated by Kayte Spector-Bagdady, assistant professor in the U-M Medical School and chief of the research ethics service in the Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine.

Auditing Algorithms: Adding Accountability to Automated Authority is a group of events designed to produce a white paper that will help to define and develop the emerging research community for “algorithm auditing.” Algorithmic Auditing is a research design that has shown promise in diagnosing the unwanted consequences of algorithmic systems.

Automated software-based systems in finance, media, information, transportation, learning, or any application of computing can easily create outcomes that are unforeseeable by their designers, so algorithm auditing has the potential to improve the design of these systems by making their consequences visible. Auditing in this sense takes its name from the social scientific “audit study” where one feature is manipulated in a field experiment, although it is also reminiscent of a financial audit.

These events and the resulting white paper proposes to coalesce this new area of inquiry and to produce a report characterizing the state of the art and potential future directions. Participants and white paper co-authors will have opportunities to clarify the potential dangers of algorithmic systems, to specify these dangers as new research problems, to articulate challenges that they face as researchers interested in this area, to present existing methods for auditing or needs for new methods, and to propose research agendas that can provide new insights that advance science and benefit society.

This initiative is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and co-organized by the University of Michigan, the University of Illinois, and Harvard University. Events are hosted at the University of Michigan.

Solon Barocas, Cornell University

STS Speaker. Representations as Material Forms: Developing a Materialist Perspective on Digital Information (October 2, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/42858 42858-9672382@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 2, 2017 4:00pm

The dominant rhetoric of information technology is that of the virtual and immaterial. STS scholars might observe (and computer scientists admit) that these virtual worlds, virtual objects, and virtual experiences are built on a solidly material foundation, such as server farms, cable routes, power generators and air conditioning units. Notwithstanding the materiality of digital infrastructures, though, materialist accounts have generally had little purchase on the content of the digital. In this talk, I will show how we can build on STS and software studies to offer a materialist account of information representations, drawing attention to the constraints and consequences of representational strategies in databases, network protocols, and other digital forms.

As part of the Michigan Institute for Data Science annual symposium, Cathy O'Neil, author of NYT best-seller "Weapons of Math Destruction," will speak.

Abstract: We live in the age of the algorithm. Increasingly, the decisions that affect our lives—where we go to school, whether we get a car loan, how much we pay for health insurance—are being made not by humans, but by mathematical models. In theory, this should lead to greater fairness: Everyone is judged according to the same rules, and bias is eliminated.
But as Cathy O’Neil reveals, the opposite is true. The models being used today are opaque, unregulated, and uncontestable, even when they’re wrong. Most troubling, they reinforce discrimination: If a poor student can’t get a loan because a lending model deems him too risky (by virtue of his zip code), he’s then cut off from the kind of education that could pull him out of poverty, and a vicious spiral ensues. Models are propping up the lucky and punishing the downtrodden, creating a “toxic cocktail for democracy.” Welcome to the dark side of Big Data.
Tracing the arc of a person’s life, O’Neil exposes the black box models that shape our future, both as individuals and as a society. These “weapons of math destruction” score teachers and students, sort résumés, grant (or deny) loans, evaluate workers, target voters, set parole, and monitor our health.
O’Neil calls on modelers to take more responsibility for their algorithms and on policy makers to regulate their use. But in the end, it’s up to us to become more savvy about the models that govern our lives. This important book empowers us to ask the tough questions, uncover the truth, and demand change.

How should the press adapt when those in power use the epithet “fake news” to attack real reporting? Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, David Fahrenthold of The Washington Post, offers suggestions for both reporters and news consumers on navigating this new era. He will discuss how journalists can open up their own reporting process through social media, show the public the work that underlies their stories and invite readers in as collaborators.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Fahrenthold used social media to follow-up on Donald Trump’s pledge to donate money to veterans groups. Posting his reporter’s notes on Twitter to solicit leads, Fahrenthold uncovered Trump’s questionable charitable practices and found no evidence that Trump donated money to veterans groups as he’d claimed. Fahrenthold was also the first reporter to reveal the existence of the “Access Hollywood” 2005 video in which Trump bragged about groping women. For his series of stories, Fahrenthold won the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for national reporting.

A graduate of Harvard, Fahrenthold has been at The Washington Post since 2000. There he reports on President Trump’s businesses and conflicts of interest. He previously covered the Washington, D.C., police, the environment, New England, Congress and the federal bureaucracy for the paper.

Can the Internet be controlled? Should it be? How does the history of the Internet help predict what we should expect for its future? Is net neutrality a lost cause or something worth fighting for? The Internet continues to surprise us as a force for change and disruption in our daily lives and society at large. While it seems as though these significant disruptions are a recent phenomena, in reality we have seen these profound societal disruptions since the 1990s. In this Teach-Out, participants will learn how the Internet has affected human communication, the sharing and discovery of information, and social interactions. Discussions on current trends and potential ways the Internet will continue to affect society will also be explored, as well as how learners can empower their own productivity and impact in the ever-evolving landscape of the Internet.

A Teach-Out is:

-an event – it takes place over a fixed, short period of time

-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world

-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals

-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people

Characterizing and Quantifying Public Conversations Online (October 30, 2017 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/46042 46042-10356049@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 30, 2017 3:30pm
Location: North Quad
Organized By: School of Information

Online public conversations, which feature open participation and interactions between strangers, are increasing in their frequency and societal importance. Digital platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit face challenges in improving these conversations, from designing user interfaces to stimulating participation and moderating or prioritizing content. Perhaps the most important challenge is deciding which kinds of conversations are most valuable to people and how the value generated can be practically measured at large scale and across a variety of use-cases.

In this talk Facebook social scientist Sean Taylor will present a range of approaches to measuring and characterizing online public conversations. In the course of product research at Facebook, they have applied machine learning, human annotation, surveys, network analysis, and ethnographic research in order to gain a deeper understanding of the space of public conversations and to try to pin down how and when they create value for the participants. He discusses how ongoing advancements in measurement technology have helped improve Facebook products, and what they have learned about human behavior in the process of studying these social systems.

About the Speaker: Sean J. Taylor is a computational social scientist on Facebook’s Data Science team. Prior to Facebook, he earned his PhD in Information Systems from NYU’s Stern School of Business. He specializes in using machine learning methods and randomized experiments for measurement, prediction, and policy decisions. Sean’s research ranges from studying online social influence, viral marketing, and social networks to measuring how sports fans behave and the impact of data science on decision making in organizations. He is also an avid engineer who enjoys putting academic research into practice by building tools and services like new kinds of prediction markets and automated forecasting systems.

Author and former Barnard College professor Cathy O’Neil, examines the use of data in contemporary society with an emphasis on how mathematical models drive
decision-making and policy creation. O’Neil offers riveting, real-life examples of “good intentions gone terribly wrong” to illustrate her points.

Drawing from these examples, participants in this study group for those 50 and above will discuss the assumptions underlying mathematical models, their inherent flaws, and their impact on peoples’ lives. This is NOT a math class!

Required text: O’Neil, Cathy. Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data

Can the Internet be controlled? Should it be? How does the history of the Internet help predict what we should expect for its future? Is net neutrality a lost cause or something worth fighting for? The Internet continues to surprise us as a force for change and disruption in our daily lives and society at large. While it seems as though these significant disruptions are a recent phenomena, in reality we have seen these profound societal disruptions since the 1990s. In this Teach-Out, participants will learn how the Internet has affected human communication, the sharing and discovery of information, and social interactions. Discussions on current trends and potential ways the Internet will continue to affect society will also be explored, as well as how learners can empower their own productivity and impact in the ever-evolving landscape of the Internet.

Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Graduate Rackham International

Graduate school can be daunting. It’s often an extended exercise in not being told about the things you’d better know. The path to success is seldom smooth nor clear, populated by busy people and opaque processes. Alas, here is a forum for graduate students to hear from their senior colleagues about challenges in their academic journeys and how they overcame them. We asked an interdisciplinary group of these busy people to devote two hours of their time to answering your questions. Join us to gain insight from their hindsight!

Edible fare and refreshments to be served!

Can the Internet be controlled? Should it be? How does the history of the Internet help predict what we should expect for its future? Is net neutrality a lost cause or something worth fighting for? The Internet continues to surprise us as a force for change and disruption in our daily lives and society at large. While it seems as though these significant disruptions are a recent phenomena, in reality we have seen these profound societal disruptions since the 1990s. In this Teach-Out, participants will learn how the Internet has affected human communication, the sharing and discovery of information, and social interactions. Discussions on current trends and potential ways the Internet will continue to affect society will also be explored, as well as how learners can empower their own productivity and impact in the ever-evolving landscape of the Internet.

A Teach-Out is:

-an event – it takes place over a fixed, short period of time

-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world

-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals

-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people

The University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems, events, and phenomena most important to society.

Teach-Outs are short learning experiences, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community. Come, join the conversation!

STS Speaker. Satisfied Callers: Police and Corporate Customer Service Technology in India (November 13, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/42860 42860-9672384@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 13, 2017 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Science, Technology & Society

State organizations are infamous for their insatiable appetites for documentation, but sometimes they refuse to produce documents. In India, police officers often refuse to register complaints and initiate proceedings. A recent project by the police in the Indian state of Punjab has aimed to eliminate this practice. The state hired a private corporation to run a call center to take emergency calls to the police. Young, middle-class, educated women staff the phones and act as case coordinators, dispatching police in locations across the state and monitoring the progress of cases through an elaborate database that logs communications from victims and police documents. Procedures embedded in corporation software translates the government procedure into the language of customer service.

Venmo. Square. RobinHood. Apple Pay. Credit Karma. Even if you don't know blockchain from bitcoin, you're probably using financial technology ("FinTech") right now. FinTech has evolved rapidly and has changed not only how financial products are delivered but who delivers them.

How can regulators and market participants balance the benefits of FinTech against potential risks?

Federal Reserve Governor will deliver a keynote address at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Nearly 30 private sector innovators, public sector change makers, academic experts and senior government offiicals will join her over the two-day period.

Registration is free and includes breakfast and lunch on both days.

Location: Hutchins Hall
Organized By: University of Michigan Law School

This two-day event will bring together a wide range of researchers, policymakers, students, and
practitioners from various disciplines.

Financial technology, or FinTech, can be traced back to the introduction of the telegraph in the 1860s. Between then and the 1980s, most FinTech advancements were record-keeping and data systems found in the back offices of financial institutions, out of sight of the public. As internet technology became more available, however, FinTech evolved rapidly. Financial firms digitized their processes, and companies began introducing consumer-facing products such as online banking and PayPal.

Today, FinTech continues to disrupt and to evolve, not only in how financial products and services are delivered, but who delivers them. Regulators and market participants face challenges in
understanding and balancing the benefits of FinTech against potential risks. Innovation helps catalyze growth and new opportunities while generating new risks. Regulatory structures in place could fail to accommodate changes in the financial marketplace. Regulators may overreact to new technologies, stifling innovation and locking in old forms of doing business. At the same time, regulatory complacency can have disastrous results, permitting the buildup of systemic risk or widespread consumer harms.

This conference will explore methodologies that the private sector, researchers, and policymakers
can use harness the upside potential of financial innovation while reducing the downside risks.

Venmo. Square. RobinHood. Apple Pay. Credit Karma. Even if you don't know blockchain from bitcoin, you're probably using financial technology ("FinTech") right now. FinTech has evolved rapidly and has changed not only how financial products are delivered but who delivers them.

How can regulators and market participants balance the benefits of FinTech against potential risks?

Federal Reserve Governor will deliver a keynote address at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Nearly 30 private sector innovators, public sector change makers, academic experts and senior government offiicals will join her over the two-day period.

Registration is free and includes breakfast and lunch on both days.

Location: Hutchins Hall
Organized By: University of Michigan Law School

This two-day event will bring together a wide range of researchers, policymakers, students, and
practitioners from various disciplines.

Financial technology, or FinTech, can be traced back to the introduction of the telegraph in the 1860s. Between then and the 1980s, most FinTech advancements were record-keeping and data systems found in the back offices of financial institutions, out of sight of the public. As internet technology became more available, however, FinTech evolved rapidly. Financial firms digitized their processes, and companies began introducing consumer-facing products such as online banking and PayPal.

Today, FinTech continues to disrupt and to evolve, not only in how financial products and services are delivered, but who delivers them. Regulators and market participants face challenges in
understanding and balancing the benefits of FinTech against potential risks. Innovation helps catalyze growth and new opportunities while generating new risks. Regulatory structures in place could fail to accommodate changes in the financial marketplace. Regulators may overreact to new technologies, stifling innovation and locking in old forms of doing business. At the same time, regulatory complacency can have disastrous results, permitting the buildup of systemic risk or widespread consumer harms.

This conference will explore methodologies that the private sector, researchers, and policymakers
can use harness the upside potential of financial innovation while reducing the downside risks.

No More Scantrons and Blue Books!: Electronic Exams in Canvas (December 1, 2017 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/46514 46514-10512732@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 1, 2017 10:00am
Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: Instructional Support Services

Electronic exams in Canvas offer several advantages over Scantron and Blue Book exams. For example, it is much easier to read student writing on an electronic exam. Today’s students are use to composing on a keyboard, so it no surprise their penmanship is not always legible. And because students are so proficient with their laptops, it is likely they will compose higher quality writing during an electronic exam. There are other benefits to using electronic exams in Canvas. The Speedgrader feature allows instructors to type responses more efficiently, providing substantive feedback when appropriate. Multiple choice and true/false type questions are graded automatically and sent directly to the gradebook. Exams and grades are preserved for future reference—for example, the next time a student asks for a letter of recommendation. Electronic exams can replace Scantrons and Blue Books, saving faculty and staff a substantial amount of time.

LSA has also added a security feature to Canvas that can lock down the testing environment and preserve academic integrity.

This workshop will introduce participants to the various question types and settings available in Canvas. Participants will also get to explore more advanced features in Canvas, including embedding images and media, setting timed exams and allowing for student accommodations, grading essay questions, and enabling the LockDown Browser. This session is recommended for anyone who wants to learn more the testing features in Canvas; therefore, it is suitable for both faculty and support staff.

A 21st Century Model for Disseminating Knowledge (December 6, 2017 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/46625 46625-10566979@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 6, 2017 4:30pm
Location: BBB
Organized By: Computer Science and Engineering Division

In the early years of the third millenium, most professors are still teaching in virtually the same way they were taught and their teachers were taught, stretching back centuries. This situation is likely to change, relatively soon. Technology is transforming (if not threatening to overwhelm) higher education, as MOOCs and online content become widely available. University students seeking to learn a topic who now have little if any choice are about to be presented with a vast array of choices. What student would not want to swap a tired professor writing slowly on a chalkboard for a well-produced series of videos and associated content, given by a world leader in the field? We are on the verge of a transformation on the scale of the transformation wrought by Gutenburg. This imminent change raises a host of fascinating and far-reaching questions.

In this talk, we describe a scalable model for teaching and learning based on a combination of studio-produced video lectures, innovative online content and assessment mechanisms, and an authoritative classic textbook. We initially proved this approach effective for teaching algorithms and data structures, the analysis of algorithms, and analytic combinatorics. More recently, we have published a new textbook in computer science, new studio-produced lectures, and online content that teachers and learners can use for a first-year course sequence in computer science that can stand alongside traditional first courses in physics, chemistry, economics, and other disciplines. Our model now enables us to reach millions of students and professionals around the world.
