Location: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building
Organized By: Electrical and Computer Engineering

ABSTRACT: War is changing. It is being redefined by the connectivity and accessibility of today’s information age conveniences like smart phones and the internet. This has been enabled by rapid advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Arguably, ICT can fuel conflict, which can now play out in new virtual venues including the world of social media. The growing dependence of individuals and states on ICT exacerbates their vulnerabilities as does the interconnections and interdependence growing between nation-states. Traditionally, the definition of war between nation-states has been characterized by “armed conflict.” This is no longer the case. Information warfare (vs. traditional kinetic warfare) may be emerging as a more likely form. And, free and open societies appear to be at a disadvantage to some extent. In this talk, Dr. Porche will discuss how this new normal came about, including the technology and policies that have enabled it. The goal of this talk is to motivate the audience to think about how technology and technological progress can do the following: (i) mitigate the vulnerabilities that free and open societies have inherited and (ii) safeguard key values like privacy and free expression, which is what has helped foster the technological growth of the last few decades.

BIO: Dr. Porche is a senior engineer at the RAND Corporation, where he currently serves as the Director of the Acquisition and Development Program in the Homeland Security Operational Analysis Center (HSOAC). As a program director, he overseas a wide range of projects supporting the Department of Homeland Security and its components. Dr. Porche joined RAND in 1998 after graduating from the University of Michigan with a Ph.D. in electrical engineering. He has led research projects for the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Joint Staff, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. He has served on the U.S. Army Science Board supporting a number of its cyber-related panels. He is a Senior Fellow at the Center for Cyber and Homeland Security at George Washington University. At the Institute of Politics and Strategy at Carnegie Mellon University, Dr. Porche serves as an adjunct instructor, where he teaches a graduate class titled “Policy and Technology of Cyberwar.” He has authored numerous RAND publications, peer-reviewed journal articles and conference papers. He is also a frequent contributor of op-eds and commentary for news outlets on military and science topics and has been quoted in other media outlets including National Public Radio, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the Baltimore Sun. Dr. Porche’s areas of expertise include cybersecurity, network and communication technology, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems, data mining, modeling and simulation, cybersecurity, rapid acquisition processes, and operations research techniques. In 2016, he presented testimony on emerging cyber threats and implications before the House Homeland Security Committee, Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection, and Security Technologies. His latest RAND publication, Cyber Power Potential of the Army’s Reserve Component, focuses on how to train, manage, and develop the Army’s cyber force. He is the author of the forthcoming book Cyberwarfare 101: Technology, Tactics, and Techniques for Information-age Conflict (Artech House, 2019).

ABOUT THE EVENT: Dr. Porche is the inaugural speaker for the ECE Willie Hobbs Moore Alumni Lecture.

The ECE Willie Hobbs Moore Alumni Lecture is given by ECE alumni from traditionally underrepresented groups in Electrical and Computer Engineering who are leaders in their field and serve as role models for the ECE community through their leadership, impact on society, service to the community, or other contributions.

Willie Hobbs Moore (1934–1994) was the first African American woman at Michigan to earn a BS and MS in Electrical Engineering (‘58 and ‘61), and the first African American woman in the country to earn a PhD in physics in 1972. She joined Ford Motor Company in 1977, where she was known for expanding the use of Japanese engineering and manufacturing methods. She was named one of the 100 “most promising black women in corporate America” by Ebony magazine in 1991.

STS Speaker. Translating the Cell Biology of Aging? On the Importance of Choreographing Knowledge (February 12, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/46008 46008-10353039@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 12, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Science, Technology & Society

This talk draws on ethnographic study in a cell biology of ageing laboratory that explored how the articulation between basic and clinical research is being crafted. I first describe how knowledge-making in the cell biology of ageing relies on two distinct epistemic and material cultures: visualisation and quantification. I argue that the focus on ‘mechanisms’, ‘biomarkers’ or ‘clinical translation’ is related to how uncertainty is distributed across the two sets of skills, instruments, repertoires of valuation, and types of objectivity. I suggest that funders and policy makers’ emphasis on innovative applications restricts the movement – the careful choreography – between these two epistemic cultures. This has consequences for the field's ability not only to re-open questions about the relationship between ageing and senescence but also to re-imagine the innovation regime for ‘aging society’.

Tiago Moreira is Professor of Sociology at Durham University (UK). In the last 15 years or so, he has researched and published on the role of evidence in health care and on public controversies and activism on health care standards. More recently, his research has focused on contemporary sociotechnical articulations between ageing and health.

What is a bitcoin worth? (February 20, 2018 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/49463 49463-11465092@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 20, 2018 11:30am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: The Center for the Study of Complex Systems

THE EVENT WILL BE LIVE STREAMED ON LSA WEBSITE (link below). #UMichTalks #bitcoin

Fresh off her @MichiganEngineering Facebook Live Bitcoin discussion, Dr Shaw presents an illuminating discussion on the topic.

Abstract
The first posted exchange rate for Bitcoin in 2009 was around $0.001 (USD) = 1 BTC.  Just over eight years later, in mid-December 2017, it reached an inconceivable high of over $19,000 (USD) = 1 BTC, only to lose near 40% of its value the following month. Along with this dramatic ride in its price came a new wave of attention from mainstream audiences who brought with them a lot of questions - the two biggest being ‘What is Bitcoin?’ and ‘Why is it worth anything?’
 
This talk will offer some answers to these questions. The first part will use a computational modeling approach to help clarify how it is that this “something out of nothing” quality can arise out of social valuation processes. The second part will then combine information from the documented history of Bitcoin’s development, venture capital funding trends, and text scraped from thousands of news articles to explore the role different groups’ definitions of Bitcoin have played in constituting its current level of value and what this might entail for cryptocurrency’s future.

The Leaking Subject: Arab Culture in the Digital Age (March 8, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/48963 48963-11339490@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 8, 2018 4:00pm

Organized By: Department of Middle East Studies

Title: “The Leaking Subject: Arab Culture in the Digital Age”
Date: Thursday March 8, 2018 @ 4:00
Location: 1022 South Thayer Building
Followed by reception with refreshments

In recent years, Arab activists have confronted authoritarian regimes both on the street and online, leaking videos and exposing atrocities, and demanding political rights. Tarek El-Ariss situates these critiques of power within a pervasive culture of scandal and leaks and shows how cultural production and political change in the contemporary Arab world are enabled by digital technology yet emerge from traditional cultural models.

Focusing on a new generation of activists and authors from Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula, El-Ariss connects WikiLeaks to The Arabian Nights, Twitter to mystical revelation, cyberattacks to pre-Islamic tribal raids, and digital activism to the affective scene-making of Arab popular culture. He shifts the epistemological and historical frameworks from the postcolonial condition to the digital condition, and shows how new media challenge the novel as the traditional vehicle for political consciousness and intellectual debate.

Theorizing the rise of “the leaking subject” who reveals, contests, and writes through chaotic yet highly political means, El-Ariss investigates the digital consciousness, virality, and affective forms of knowledge that jolt and inform the public and that draw readers in to the unfolding fiction of scandal.

His talk is based on his forthcoming book Leaks Hacks and Scandals: Arab Culture in the Digital Age (Princeton University Press, Fall 2018).

Tarek El-Ariss is Associate Professor of Middle Eastern Studies at Dartmouth College. His books include Trials of Arab Modernity: Literary Affects and the New Political and The Arab Renaissance: A Bilingual Anthology of the Nahda. Other areas of his scholarship include Arabic travel writing and the war novel, gender and sexuality studies, and sci-fi and utopia studies, psychoanalysis, deconstruction and affect theory.

Organizing Resistance to Internet Censorship (April 3, 2018 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/51542 51542-12147099@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 3, 2018 7:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: International Youth and Students for Social Equality

The United States government, in collaboration with Google, Facebook, Twitter and other information technology corporations, is implementing massive restrictions on Internet access to socialist, antiwar and progressive websites. Capitalist governments in Europe and throughout the world are enacting similar repressive policies.

The ruling class launched this desperate campaign in a desperate response to growing mass opposition to social inequality and war. Workers and young people around the world are using the Internet to coordinate struggles and share information outside of the control of the corporate media.

The World Socialist Web Site, which has been a principal target of the censorship campaign, is leading a fight against the greatest attack on free speech since the Second World War. In January, it called for an International Coalition of Socialist, Antiwar and Progressive Websites Against Internet Censorship to expose what is taking place and coordinate opposition.

This meeting will explore the political context of efforts to censor the Internet, examine the pretexts used to justify the suppression of free speech (e.g., “fake news”), and discuss a political strategy to mobilize the working class in defense of democratic rights.

Please join us for a one-day gathering of lightning talks and networking focused around digital studies research broadly conceived. This conference will feature faculty, graduate students, digital humanities and rhetoric experts, and other stakeholders in Digital Studies at the University of Michigan, showcasing the wide variety of digital engagement on campus. It is open to practitioners, researchers, and all who work in a critical relation to the digital. Catered lunch and refreshments will be provided for all attendees.

Keynote talk by Kathleen Fitzpatrick, MSU
“Generous Thinking: Working in Public.”

Working in public, and with the public, can enable scholars to build vital, sustainable research communities, both within their fields, with other scholars in different fields, and with folks off-campus who care about the kinds of work that we do. By finding ways to connect with readers and writers beyond our usual circles of experts, in a range of different registers, and in ways that move beyond enabling them to listen to us to instead allow for meaningful response, we can create the possibilities for far more substantial public participation in and engagement with the humanities, and with the academy more broadly. We can build programs and networks and platforms that do not just bring the university to the world, but that also involve the world in the university.

This Teach-Out examines the present and future of Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Virtual Reality (VR) through conversations with leading experts and practitioners in this ever-evolving world of digital interfaces. In this Teach-Out, we explore various opportunities of these emerging technologies in domains ranging from medicine and nursing, to landscaping and architectural design, to multimedia and entertainment, to education and research. We also discuss dark patterns and new challenges associated with these new interfaces, such as privacy and accessibility.

We invite you to join this conversation about these emerging technologies that blur the line between reality and computer-generated sensory experiences. This​ Teach-Out will examine broader questions, such as:
What are these new technological breakthroughs? What are practical applications of AR, MR, and VR to users’ everyday lives? What are possible directions for future AR, MR, and VR interfaces, and what are the important issues to consider?

This Teach-Out investigates the differences between AR, MR, and VR, and discusses a broad range of implications for our daily lives. It also explores future applications of these technologies across a range of domains.


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

Politicians and Social Media in the Global South (April 14, 2018 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/51880 51880-12274528@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, April 14, 2018 9:00am
Location: North Quad
Organized By: School of Information

A one-day seminar workshop to examine contemporary scholarship on political social media in the Global South. The workshop will feature a mix of talks and small workgroup sessions to explore these topics, with specific attention to politicians and political collectives.

In the last decade, politicians in various parts of the world have invested in social media campaigns, including in settings where a relatively small proportion of the voting public is actually online. Leaders may use social media for a range of reasons including to actively court constituents, to present a narrative on their political program to the international community, or to use the affordances of social media to frame the agenda on a specific issue.

Social media can also present a means for politicians to bypass the free professional media corps to directly speak to the electorate, and exercise greater control over the story crafted about them. After an early phase of enthusiasm on the scope of social media to bring decentralized power to the people, we increasingly have a balanced view of the potential and risks of online behavior for democratic societies.

Today, we see a social media environment in which a vast majority of major national politicians in countries throughout the world build social media presences for a diverse mix of these reasons. What do these developments mean for the future of political campaigning? What tactics have worked? How is the online strategy impacted by ideology, national economic priorities, or political structure?

Reputation has long been prized. In its traditional form, people who know something about you use this knowledge to form opinions. Their collective sense of who you are—your reputation—affects how people treat you: it shapes all of your social interactions.

In today's world, additional knowledge about you resides in "big data" collected by individuals, organizations, companies, and governments. Increasingly, data about you are being processed by algorithms to draw conclusions: to form something like opinions.

This combination of data and algorithms creates a new digital reputation which increasingly shapes your life, from recommending purchases and suggesting friends to prompting actions based solely on your digital footprint.

Who gathers, owns, and controls this data? Where do they get it, and how? How do they use it? Is it shared with people, processed by algorithms, used to construct your choices? What should we think about all of this?

In this Teach-Out we will consider questions of privacy, surveillance, reputation, and identity using a case study approach. Learners will hear from experts and engage in conversation using real-world scenarios across multiple topic areas.

In this Teach-Out we will consider questions of privacy, surveillance, reputation, and identity using a case study approach. Learners will hear from experts and engage in conversation using real-world scenarios across multiple topic areas.

Reputation has long been prized. In its traditional form, people who know something about you use this knowledge to form opinions. Their collective sense of who you are—your reputation—affects how people treat you: it shapes all of your social interactions.

In today's world, additional knowledge about you resides in "big data" collected by individuals, organizations, companies, and governments. Increasingly, data about you are being processed by algorithms to draw conclusions: to form something like opinions.

In her dissent from the Federal Communications Commission's May 2018 decision to end net neutrality protections, Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel wrote, "The FCC is on the wrong side of history, the wrong side of the law, and the wrong side of the American people. It deserves to have its handiwork revisited, reexamined, and ultimately reversed. I raised my voice to fight for internet freedom. I’ll keep raising a ruckus to support net neutrality and I hope others will too.”

In this Policy Talks @ the Ford School event, Rosenworcel, a lawyer with over two decades of experience in communications policy and public service, will explore the issues in conversation with University of Michigan's associate general counsel Jack Bernard.

Location: West Hall
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Abstract: We will provide a constructive definition of “Big Biomedical/Health Data” and provide examples of the challenges, algorithms, processes, and tools necessary to manage, aggregate, harmonize, process, and interpret such data. In data science, time complexity frequently manifests as sampling incongruency, heterogeneous scales, and intricate dependencies. We will present the concept of 2D complex-time (kime) and illustrate how the kime-order (time) and kime-direction (phase) affect advanced predictive analytics and scientific inference based on Big Biomedical Data. Kime-representation solves the unidirectional arrows of time problems, e.g., psychological arrow of time reflects the irrevocable past to future flow and thermodynamic arrow of time reflecting the relentless growth of entropy. Albeit kime-phase angles may not always be directly observable, we will illustrate how they can be estimated and used to improve the resulting space-kime modeling, trend forecasting, and predictive data analytics. Simulated data, clinical observations (e.g., neurodegenerative disorders), and multisource census-like datasets (e.g., UK Biobank) will be used to demonstrate time-complexity and inferential-uncertainty.

Statistical Models for Analyzing Dynamic Social Network Data (September 28, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54423 54423-13583297@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 28, 2018 4:00pm

Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Abstract: Due in part to the ubiquity of online social networks these days, interest in analyzing social network data has spread beyond its traditional home in the social sciences to many other disciplines including physics, computer science, statistics, and engineering. A topic of significant importance in social network analysis is the creation of statistical models for social network data. Many social network data involve relations between people observed at multiple points in time and are thus dynamic network data. In this talk, I introduce several statistical models for analyzing two types of dynamic network data. Discrete-time network data, also known as network panel data, represent the structure of the social network at regular time intervals, e.g. over each week or each month.Continuous-time network data, also known as timestamped network or relational event data, are collected with finer granularity on the time and at irregular time intervals. I demonstrate how these models can be used to infer network structures and how they evolve over time on several dynamic social network data sets, including a network of physical proximities between people at a university and a network of wall posts between users on Facebook.

The 3rd Revolution in Computing Has Just Begun: Connecting the Physical World to the Power of the Digital World (October 5, 2018 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/55890 55890-13802784@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 5, 2018 1:30pm
Location: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building
Organized By: Electrical and Computer Engineering

ABSTRACT — Half a century of Moore’s Law has resulted in computing and communication systems of incredible power. As a consequence, we are now beginning the third revolution in which digital processing is beginning to be embedded in devices and systems all around us. While this is enabling fascinating
possibilities such as autonomous vehicles, new approaches to healthcare and more efficient industrial infrastructure, it also must address new and difficult technical challenges. Some of these challenges include radical improvement in wireless communication, powering the trillions of embedded devices with Nano or Picowatts rather than Milliwatts, and creating robust security for networked systems of embedded devices.

Moreover, these challenges can no longer depend on the exponential scaling of Moore’s Law that had been provided by the Dennard Scaling of CMOS. Alternative technologies from new semiconducting materials to new processor architectures in support of advanced algorithms are required and will be discussed in the seminar.

New Methods for Detecting Natural Selection in Large Samples of Genetic Data (October 5, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/56321 56321-13878530@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 5, 2018 4:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Abstract: Understanding how humans evolved and adapted to their environment is one of the most important and interesting questions in science. The recent emergence of large, publicly available genetic data sets places the answers to these questions closer within reach than ever before. New statistical methods are needed to take full advantage of these resources.

In this talk Dr. Terhorst will discuss some recent progress towards detecting signals of recent natural selection in genetic data from tens of thousands of individuals. On the computational side, he will describe new memory- and compute-efficient inference algorithms that allow us to analyze thousands of genomes in parallel using GPUs. On the theoretical side, he will describe a new test for neutrality based on combinatorial properties of Kingman’s coalescent. The test turns out to have interesting connections to a classic problem in theoretical statistics which has been studied by LeCam, Moran, Hall, and other luminaries. Some of this work is joint with Dan Erdmann-Pham, Kamm, Pier Palamara, Alkes Price and Yun Song.

Bio: Jonathan Terhorst joined the University of Michigan in the fall of 2017 as an assistant professor in the statistics department. Before that, he was a PhD student in statistics at UC Berkeley under the supervision of Prof. Yun Song. He is broadly interested in applications of statistics and machine learning to problems in biology, with a particular emphasis on statistical and population genetics.

Determine the Number of States in Hidden Markov Models VIA Marginal Likelihood (October 12, 2018 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/56322 56322-13878531@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 12, 2018 3:00pm

Abstract: Hidden Markov models (HMM) have been widely adopted by scientists from various fields to model stochastic systems: the underlying process is a discrete Markov chain and the observations are noisy realizations of the underlying process. Determining the number of hidden states for an HMM is a model selection problem, which has yet to be satisfactorily solved, especially for the popular Gaussian HMM with heterogeneous covariance. In this paper, we propose a consistent method for determining the number of hidden states of HMM based on the marginal likelihood. We give a rigorous proof of the consistency of the proposed marginal likelihood method and provide simulation studies to compare the proposed method with the currently mostly adopted method, the Bayesian information criterion (BIC), demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed marginal likelihood method. The proposed method is applied to single-molecule data and yields interesting scientific insights.

Location: North Quad
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

The digital is cultural and it has gotten ugly. The tone of online discourse is increasingly one of complaining, mistrust, and disapproval. The seemingly innocent "like" can unleash a torrent of attention-grabbing incivility. Platforms give trolls undue influence with the effect of normalizing emotional responses and off-topic discussions. What do we do?

Please join us for a conversation about what humanists can contribute to a reimagining of digital platforms. What do we know about how today's polarizing discourse has evolved? What can we learn from previous times in history where discourse was thought to be degenerating? How can the humanities help us form thoughtful communities of diverse opinions?

Come talk to Kamilah Taylor and Daniel Burke, co-founders of Swaay, a start-up dedicated to rebuilding digital platforms to encourage thoughtful exchange; Knight-Wallace Fellow Rachel Rohr; and Megan Ankerson, communication studies, about their work and the challenges they are encountering. Angela Dillard, Afroamerican and African studies and Residential College, will moderate.

Everyone thinks they know what digital means. So pervasive are digital technologies in the 21st century that it is difficult to find critical distance from this immersive new world of ubiquitous connectivity, social media feeds, smartphones, mobile apps, responsive design, algorithmic recommendation systems, and voice-controlled home shopping assistants. While the question “what is the digital?” is compelling, the more pressing question might be instead: what does it mean to be alive in the digital age?

The 2019 Michigan Meetings will be a year-long event that critically engages with the big issues, urgent consequences, and radical possibilities for grappling with the meaning of life in this era of digital ubiquity. Whether defined as “animated corporeal existence,” “vitality,” or “to continue, to remain,” we see a profound opportunity to approach the digital world through a spectrum of the meaning of life-ness - alive, liveness, animated, lifelike, life-adjacent, consciousness, awareness, attention, awoke.

Digital culture reconfigures the way we know our bodies, our selves, our work, our objects and living spaces, our politics, and our sense of community. Like prior technologies, the digital gives rise to distinct new modes of experiencing time and space. Life is lived through constant network connectivity, GPS positioning, software databases, biotechnologies and wearable activity trackers, ‘smart’ buildings, cities, and homes, migrant digital labor, computational modeling, and the management of unfathomable streams of big data, and artificial intelligence. Subsequently, life is also lived through anxieties about identity theft, hacking, online harassment, piracy, surveillance and drone warfare.

Across campus, these questions will emerge in courses, colloquia, lectures, and informal conversations among students, faculty, staff, and peers. We aim to support meaningful and rewarding work in the technology industries or in academic research by giving students and faculty the history, critical perspective, and rigorous deep-dive into humanistic questions of “new” media life with this 2019 theme.

Andre Brock, Georgia Tech
Carmen Aguilar y Wedge, HyphenLabs
Lionel Robert, U-M School of Information

Reliable Evidence from Health Care Data: Lessons from the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI) Collaborative (November 16, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57308 57308-14148805@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 16, 2018 4:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Abstract: Concerns over reproducibility in science extend to research using existing healthcare data; many observational studies investigating the same topic produce conflicting results, even when using the same data. To address this problem, we propose a paradigm shift. The current paradigm centers on generating one estimate at a time using a unique study design with unknown reliability and publishing (or not) one estimate at a time. The new paradigm advocates for high-throughput observational studies using consistent and standardized methods, allowing evaluation, calibration, and unbiased dissemination to generate a more reliable and complete evidence base. We demonstrate this new paradigm by comparing all depression treatments for a set of outcomes, producing 17,718 hazard ratios, each using methodology on par with state-of-the-art studies. We furthermore include control hypotheses to evaluate and calibrate our evidence generation process. Results show good transitivity and consistency between databases, and agree with four out of the five findings from clinical trials. The distribution of effect size estimates reported in literature reveals an absence of small or null effects, with a sharp cutoff at p = 0.05. No such phenomena were observed in our results, suggesting more complete and more reliable evidence.

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

A 30 min. talk by Youngju Ryu, 2018-19 Institute for the Humanities Hunting Family Fellow and associate professor of modern Korean literature) followed by Q & A.

"South Korea just showed the world how to do democracy," reported The Washington Post on May 10, 2017, a day after Koreans voted a new president into office following the impeachment of Park Geun-hye. Officially dubbed the "Candlelight Revolution," the peaceful transfer of power was a result of massive street demonstrations, which in turn highlighted the role of new media such as the podcast. Ideally suited to the era of smartphones, podcast fell through the cracks in the regulatory framework of South Korean media environment, and allowed the public to access information and news stories that had been quashed in mainstream terrestrial, cable, and paper news media. The podcast also became the venue for innovating political idiom in irreverent and parodic ways, and for bringing politics into the realm of pop culture in a widespread phenomenon that came to be known as “poli-tainment” (politics + entertainment). As part of ongoing work on cultural politics of resistance and democratization, the talk will address how the podcast boom sparked the carnivalesque rebirth of protest culture at the heart of South Korea's latest struggle for democracy.

Person Specific Temporal Networks: Accuracy, Dynamics, and Emojis (November 30, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57910 57910-14373143@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 30, 2018 4:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Abstract: Networks are everywhere! They provide a powerful way to detect patterns and relationships within big data systems. But, are they meaningful when the “system” is an individual person? Indeed, the reliability and validity of network approaches have been questioned in the social and medical sciences; network results are assumed to generalize across people and time, but these assumptions rarely hold because people are heterogeneous and dynamic. The goal of this presentation is to introduce a person-specific perspective to network modeling, and to illustrate the accuracy of a particular modeling approach called group iterative multiple model estimation (GIMME). Two novel GIMME-related applications will also be presented. In the first, GIMME will be used to detect individualized time-varying neural connectivity during a resting state, revealing connectivity parameters that are associated with cognitive impulsivity. In the second, GIMME will be used to identify personalized links among emoji-based emotion structures and daily depressive symptomatology. This is an ongoing work with possible extensions to big(ger) data (e.g., Twitter) and with implications for precision health care.
