Abstract
My research group works in the area of mathematical oncology, where we use mathematical models to decipher the complex networks of reactions inside of cancer cells and interactions between cells. Immune cells use hundreds of biochemical reactions to respond to their environment, become activated, and kill cancer cells. Understanding the complexity of these reaction networks requires computational tools and mathematical models. We combine detailed, mechanistic modeling with machine learning to study these networks, better understand cancer and immune cells, and predict ways to control tumor growth. In this talk, I will present our recent work aimed at predicting the dynamics of immune cell behaviors across three scales: intracellular signaling pathways in CAR T cells, the collective behavior of a heterogeneous population of immune cells, and tumor-immune interactions at the tissue scale. Our models generate novel mechanistic insight into immune cell activation and predict the effects of immunotherapeutic strategies.

ABSTRACT: Effective theories play a fundamental role in how we reason about the world. Although real physical processes are very complicated, useful models abstract away the irrelevant degrees of freedom to give parsimonious representations. I use information geometry to construct simplified models for many types of complex systems, such as biology, neuroscience, statistical physics, and complex engineered systems. I interpret a multi-parameter model as a manifold embedded in the space of all possible data, with a metric induced by statistical distance. These manifolds are often bounded and very thin, so they are well-approximated by a low-dimensional, simple model. For many types of models, there is a hierarchy of natural approximations that reside on the manifold's boundary. These approximations are not black-boxes. They remain expressed in terms of the relevant combinations of mechanistic parameters and reflect the physical principles on which the complicated model was built. They can also be constructed in a systematic way using computational differential geometry.

Speaker: Frances Barlas
Vice President, Research Methods at Ipsos Public Affairs

In 2020, we saw a broader awakening to the continued systemic racism throughout all aspects of our society and heard renewed calls for racial justice. For the survey and market research industries, this has renewed questions about how well our industry does to ensure that our public opinion research captures the full set of diverse voices that make up the United States. These questions were reinforced in the wake of the 2020 election with the scrutiny faced by the polling industry and the role that voters of color played in the election. In this talk, we’ll consider how well online samples represent people of color in the United States. Results from studies that use both KnowledgePanel – a probability-based online panel – and non-probability online samples will be shared. We’ll discuss some strategies for ways to improve our sample quality.

Dr. Frances Barlas is a Senior Vice President and the lead KnowledgePanel Methodologist for Ipsos. She has worked in the survey and market research industries for 20 years. In her current role, she is charged with overseeing and advancing the statistical integrity and operational efficiency of KnowledgePanel, the largest probability-based panel in the US, and other Ipsos research assets. Her research interests focus on survey measurement and online survey data quality. She holds a Ph.D. in Sociology from Temple University.

Abstract:

Subspace classifiers have been around for a long time, beginning with feature selection, which in essence was a subspace selection technique. This talk will discuss the kind of subspace classifiers that Bledsoe and Browning presented in their 1959 paper and from which there have been a variety of extensions which we will discuss.

The Bledsoe and Browning subspace classifier quantizes measurement space. Each quantized observation tuple corresponds to a cell in measurement space. A collection of subspaces are selected at random. In the original form the subspaces were mutually exclusive. For each class, each cell of a subspace contained a number dependent on the number of observations of the training data that fell into that cell. For each class those numbers were combined in ways not dissimilar to random forests. For a given observation tuple, the class with the highest vote count was selected as the assigned class.

We will discuss a variety of principled extensions of the technique and make some comparisons with Neural Networks.

Research Interests:

High-dimensional space clustering, pattern recognition, knowledge discovery and artificial intelligence

Professor Haralick began his work as one of the principal investigators of the NASA ERTS satellite data doing remote sensing image analysis.

He has made a series of contributions in the field of computer vision. In the high-level vision area, he has worked on inferring 3D geometry from one or more perspective projection views.] He has also identified a variety of vision problems which are special cases of the consistent labeling problem. His papers on consistent labeling, arrangements, relation homomorphism, matching, and tree search translate some specific computer vision problems to the more general combinatorial consistent labeling problem and then discuss the theory of the look-ahead operators that speed up the tree search. The most basic of these is called Forward Checking. This gives a framework for the control structure required in high-level vision problems. He has also extended the forward-checking tree search technique to propositional logic.

EEB Thursday Seminar: Of mice and museums: using natural history collections to understand the diversity and distribution of the North American deer mouse (November 11, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/85685 85685-21628196@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 11, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Biological Sciences Building
Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

The North American deer mouse Peromyscus maniculatus is one of the most widespread and geographically variable rodent species in North America, with a range extending from Canada south across most of the United States and into Mexico. Not surprisingly, there is some limited evidence that cryptic lineages may exist across this large geographic area. Determining if multiple species exist within P.maniculatus is vital given that this species is a known reservoir for multiple diseases and is often used as a model system for evolutionary and ecological studies. Dr. Light will discuss her recent research in the genus Peromyscus, including her attempts to differentiate and delimit cryptic lineages within P.maniculatus using morphological and molecular data from specimens housed in natural history collections.

Complex Systems Virtual Seminar | The role of time-varying viral shedding in modeling environmental surveillance of a poliovirus outbreak (November 16, 2021 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/88906 88906-21658898@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 16, 2021 11:30am

Abstract: Environmental pathogen surveillance is a sensitive tool that can detect early-stage outbreaks and has become an important part of the global effort to eradicate polio. While longitudinal environmental surveillance has the potential to inform outbreak dynamics, interpretation can be difficult because the relationship between population infection incidence and viral load in wastewater depends both on the fraction of the population shedding and the time-varying shedding intensity. We developed a mathematical model of time-varying poliovirus shedding intensity consistent with expert opinion across a range of immunization states. Incorporating this shedding model into an infectious disease transmission model, we analyzed quantitative, polymerase chain reaction cycle threshold data from seven sites during the 2013 Israeli polio outbreak. Compared to a constant shedding model, our time-varying shedding model estimated a larger but slower peak (4 weeks later), resulting in a greater fraction of the population vaccinated and a lower cumulative incidence (46% vaccinated and 51% infected by the end of the outbreak, compared to 24% and 74% in the constant shedding scenario). We also estimated the population shed virus for an average of 29 days (95% CI 28-31). Our estimate of polio shedding duration is longer than expert opinion had suggested for a population that was purported to have received three or more inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) doses, indicating that IPV may not affect shedding duration. Using realistic models of time-varying shedding coupled with longitudinal environmental surveillance will improve our understanding of outbreak dynamics of poliovirus or other pathogens, such as SARS-CoV-2.

Physical activity is fundamental to children’s growth, development, and social emotional health. School closures during the COVID-19 pandemic, however, eliminated many opportunities for youth to engage in structured exercise as many children lacked spaces to exercise or play sports in their neighborhoods. Children’s limited interactions with peers and lack of school support services to help them cope with the pandemic also lead to significant increases in child stress and anxiety levels.

Talk title: Clinical Trajectory analysis to determine risk-factors of Copd: A COPDGene Study

Abstract:

Background

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) presents significant clinical heterogeneity and a wide variety of progression trajectories [1]. Clinical trajectory analysis (ClinTrajAn) is a powerful tool based on elastic principal graphs for the calculation of trajectories from large cross-sectional clinical data sets [2].

Aims and objectives

Our objective was to determine potential risk-factors by evaluate progression trajectories in COPD using ClinTrajAn on the COPDGene Phase I (baseline visit) dataset.

Methods

7883 participants, current and former smokers with GOLD 0 thru 4 COPD, from Phase I of the COPDGene study, were utilized for this work. 55 features were obtained for each subject, including demographics, spirometry, smoking history and computed tomography (CT), which included Parametric Response Mapping (PRM). Developed by our group, PRM is capable of simultaneously measuring small airways disease and emphysema which are the main contributors of airflow limitations in COPD. The resulting data matrix was analyzed with ClinTrajAn.

Results

A principal tree, with 13 branch segments and 8 termini, was generated (Figure 1). There was a clearly recognized trajectory from healthier subjects through decreasing lung function and increasing age (Figure 1 A), increasing in GOLD (Figure 1 B), to an emphysema high terminus (Figure 1 C). Notably this method illustrated numerous branching points along this trajectory.

Conclusions

In this study we used ClinTrajAn to obtain a map of disease progression trajectories in COPD including clinically recognized pathogenesis. Our next steps will be to further validate this approach using longitudinal data from the COPDGene follow-up visits.

This program will be webcast on the main Penny Stamps Series page and at dptv.org/pennystamps. You can also watch the talks and join the conversation on the Penny Stamps Series Facebook page.

The debate about restitution and the ethics of Western museums’ owning African artworks collected during the era of colonization has never been more in the public eye. Most well-known, perhaps, are the “Benin bronzes,” artistic and royal heirlooms made since the 13th century by highly specialized metalworkers in the Kingdom of Benin (now southern Nigeria). In 1897, British forces sacked the capital of this prosperous kingdom. They tore sculptures and plaques from the palace walls, and took them back to Europe, where the looted treasures were sold to museums and private collectors. The royal court of Benin, Nigerian officials, and high-profile scholars such as Professor Chika Okeke-Agulu (Princeton) have been demanding their return for decades. Over the last decade, some museums based in the Global North have been listening to these calls for repatriation, and some have pledged to return works from their collections. To provide a new home for the repatriated works, plans for a new Edo Museum of West African Art (EMOWAA), are currently in development with world renowned architect Sir David Adjaye leading the building design project. 

On the occasion of Wish You Were Here: African Art & Restitution, a public investigation into our own collection at the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA), Sir David Adjaye and Professor Chika Okeke-Agulu will discuss their current and recent projects that address   how works of art may re-enter the societies they were torn away from. Laura De Becker, Interim Chief Curator and the Helmut and Candis Stern Curator of African Art at UMMA, will introduce the event.   Sir David Adjaye OBE is an award winning Ghanaian-British architect known to infuse his artistic sensibilities and ethos for community-driven projects. His ingenious use of materials, bespoke designs and visionary sensibilities have set him apart as one of the leading architects of his generation. In 2000, David founded his own practice, Adjaye Associates, which today operates globally, with studios in Accra, London, and New York taking on projects that span the globe. The firm’s work ranges from private houses, bespoke furniture collections, product design, exhibitions, and temporary pavilions to major arts centers, civic buildings, and master plans. His largest project to date, The National Museum of African American History & Culture in Washington, DC opened on the National Mall in Washington DC in 2016 and was named Cultural Event of the Year by The New York Times.

In 2017, Adjaye was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II and was recognized as one of the 100 most influential people of the year by TIME Magazine. Most recently, Adjaye was announced the winner of the 2021 RIBA Royal Gold Medal. Approved personally by Her Majesty the Queen, the Royal Gold Medal is considered one of the highest honors in British architecture for significant contribution to the field internationally. Sir Adjaye is also the recipient of the World Economic Forum’s 27th Annual Crystal Award, which recognizes his “leadership in serving communities, cities and the environment.”

Chika Okeke-Agulu, an artist, critic and art historian, is director of the Program in African Studies and professor of African and African Diaspora art in the Department of African American Studies, and Department of Art & Archaeology, Princeton University. His books include Yusuf Grillo: Painting. Lagos. Life (Skira, 2020); Obiora Udechukwu: Line, Image, Text (Skira, 2016); Postcolonial Modernism: Art and Decolonization in Twentieth-Century Nigeria (2015); and (with Okwui Enwezor), Contemporary African Art Since 1980 (2010). He recently co-organized, with Okwui Enwezor, El Anatsui: Triumphant Scale (Haus der Kunst, Munich, 2019). He is co-editor of Nka: Journal of Contemporary African Art, has written for The New York Times and Huffington Post, and maintains the blog Ọfọdunka.

His many awards include The Melville J. Herskovits Prize for the most important scholarly work in African Studies published in English during the preceding year (African Studies Association, 2016); and Frank Jewett Mather Award for Distinction in Art Criticism (College Art Association, 2016).Okeke-Agulu serves on the advisory boards of the Hyundai Tate Research Centre, Tate Modern, London, The Africa Institute, Sharjah, and Bët-bi/Le Korsa Museum Project, Senegal. He is also on the advisory council of Mpala Research Center, Nanyuki, Kenya; serves on the executive board of Princeton in Africa, and on the editorial boards of African Studies Review and Journal of Visual Culture. 

Laura De Becker is the Interim Chief Curator and the Helmut and Candis Stern Curator of African Art at the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA). A specialist in Central African art, she joined UMMA after a fellowship at Wits Art Museum in Johannesburg, South Africa. After many years of working with a team to research to envision a new installation of UMMA’s African art collection, De Becker’s , a project that doubled the footprint of the African galleries at UMMA, opened in September 2021. De Becker’s work on the reinstallation led to , a separate project grappling with issues of restitution, also on view at UMMA for the 2021-22 academic year.

Variations in Biology > Colors, toxins, and complex phenotypes: Poison-dart frogs as an emerging model system for integrative biology. (November 19, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87959 87959-21647932@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 19, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Biological Sciences Building
Organized By: Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology

This seminar is part of a Variations In Biology seminar series exploring novel model organisms. The Model System revolution (which began in the 1980s and continues to this day) was driven by development of powerful genetic tools in a small group of organisms. While these popular models have driven major advances in many fields, they represent a narrow slice of biological diversity. Evolution has created a smorgasbord of variations in biology that can be exploited to address interdisciplinary questions in fields spanning Development, Cell Biology, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. This seminar series aims to explore variations in biology and bring together audiences across the Biosciences at UM, to foster interdisciplinary dialogue.

It is a hybrid event.

The University College London (UCL) Centre for Engineering Education is a joint venture between Faculty of Engineering Sciences and the Institute of Education (IoE). Through research and active engagement, it aims to encourage the study of engineering and allied subjects and drive curriculum innovations to help create the next generation of engineering graduates needed to address complex global challenges. The Centre for Engineering Education is heavily involved in the running and dissemination of UCL Engineering's Integrated Engineering Programme (IEP) – one of the four case studies described in the MIT report “Reimagining and rethinking engineering education” – a pedagogical framework by which undergraduate students study using innovative and interdisciplinary approaches. In this session, I will focus on CEE’s research with IEP students and recent graduates to understand their experiences in the programme. Findings suggest gender differences in the awareness of the societal impact of engineering, and that communication skills are essential to engineering practice. Finally, I will highlight contributions for future longitudinal research on engineering student learning and career pathways in the UK.

Visual Methods Towards Autonomous Underwater Manipulation (December 1, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89533 89533-21664052@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 1, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Ford Robotics Building
Organized By: Michigan Robotics

Chair: Matthew Johnson Roberson

Extra-terrestrial ocean worlds like Europa offer tantalizing targets in the search for extant life beyond the confines of Earth's atmosphere. However, reaching and exploring the underwater environments of these alien worlds is a task with immense challenges. Unlike terrestrial based missions, the exploration of ocean worlds necessitates robots which are capable of fully automated operation. These robots must rely on local sensors to interpret the scene, plan their motions, and complete their mission tasks. Manipulation tasks, such as sample collection, are particularly challenging in underwater environments, where the manipulation platform is mobile, and the environment is unstructured.

This dissertation addresses some of the challenges in visual scene understanding to support autonomous manipulation with underwater vehicle manipulator systems (UVMSs). The developed visual methods are demonstrated with a lightweight vision system, composed of a vehicle mounted stereo pair and a manipulator wrist mounted fisheye camera, that can be easily integrated on existing UVMSs. While the stereo camera primarily supports 3D reconstruction of the manipulator working area, the wrist mounted camera enables dynamic viewpoint acquisition for detecting objects, such as tools, and extending the scene reconstruction beyond the fixed stereo view. An objective of this dissertation was also to apply deep learning based visual methods to the underwater domain. While deep learning has greatly advanced the state-of-the-art in terrestrial based visual methods across diverse applications, the challenges of accessing the underwater environment and collecting underwater datasets for training these methods has hindered progress in advancing visual methods for underwater applications.

Following is an overview of the contributions made by this dissertation. The first contribution is a novel deep learning method for object detection and pose estimation from monocular images. The second contribution is a general framework for adapting monocular image-based pose estimation networks to work on full fisheye or omni-directional images with minimal modification to the network architecture. The third contribution is a visual SLAM method designed for UVMSs that fuses features from both the wrist mounted fisheye camera and the vehicle mounted stereo pair into the same map, where the map scale is constrained by the stereo features, and the wrist camera can actively extend the map beyond the limited stereo view. The fourth contribution is an open-source tool to aid the design of underwater camera and lighting systems. The fifth contribution is an autonomy framework for UVMS manipulator control and the vision system that was used throughout this dissertation work, along with experimental results from field trials in natural deep ocean environments, including an active submarine volcano in the Mediterranean basin. This chapter also describes the collection and processing of underwater datasets, captured with our vision system in these natural deep ocean environments. These datasets supported the development of the visual methods contributed by this dissertation.

Abstract:

Epigenetic control of gene expression is highly cell-type- and context-specific. Yet, despite its complexity, gene regulatory logic can be broken down into modular components consisting of a transcription factor (TF) activating or repressing the expression of a target gene through its binding to a cis-regulatory region. Recent advances in joint profiling of transcription and chromatin accessibility with single-cell resolution offer unprecedented opportunities to interrogate such regulatory logic. Here, we propose a nonparametric approach, TRIPOD, to detect and characterize three-way relationships between a TF, its target gene, and the accessibility of the TF’s binding site, using single-cell RNA and ATAC multiomic data. We apply TRIPOD to interrogate cell-type-specific regulatory logic in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and contrast our results to detections from enhancer databases, cis-eQTL studies, ChIP-seq experiments, and TF knockdown/knockout studies. We then apply TRIPOD to mouse embryonic brain data during neurogenesis and gliogenesis and identified known and novel putative regulatory relationships, validated by ChIP-seq and PLAC-seq. Finally, we demonstrate TRIPOD on SHARE-seq data of differentiating mouse hair follicle cells and identify lineage-specific regulation supported by histone marks for gene activation and super-enhancer annotations.

Hosted by: Joshua Welch, PhD

Speaker will be in-person and the seminar will be live-streamed via Zoom.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR)

Time: 2:00-3:00 pm EST
Location: Virtual
Presenter: Michael McKay – Executive Director and Professor; Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research; University of Windsor
Title: Life under ice: The rise and fall of Lake Erie’s winter algal bloom

Webinar Registration: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/1935127688355002379

About the presentation: Ice cover presents a logistical obstacle to our full understanding of function of north temperate ecosystems. Reflecting this, ecosystem models frequently underestimate, or even neglect biological parameters associated with ice cover. Despite the perceived inhospitable environment imposed by cold temperatures and ice cover during winter in Lake Erie, work over the past decade has revealed numerous examples of high biological activity with abundant phytoplankton biomass dominated by psychrophilic, filamentous diatoms. The diatoms are physiologically robust and the diatom bloom persists through early spring, eventually contributing to carbon export in Lake Erie’s central basin. During mild winters, the bloom is reduced, likely due to light limitation coincident with deep wind-aided mixing. These surveys have demonstrated that diatom assemblages possess ice nucleating abilities, a characteristic promoting ice formation and which enables the winter diatoms to maintain a favorable position in the photic zone when the lake is ice covered. Our recent efforts have focused on mechanisms of bloom decline where chytrid parasites and other pathogens are implicated. Broadening the impact of this research has been a unique partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard promoting citizen science in support of winter data collection.

About the speaker: In 2019, Mike McKay joined the University of Windsor where he serves as the Executive Director of the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research and Professor in the School of the Environment. Mike received undergraduate- and graduate degrees in Biology from Queen’s University at Kingston and McGill University (Montréal), respectively. Upon completion of his doctoral work, he held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and with the University of Delaware where he served concurrently at the Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, NY. It was during this period that Mike became active in research on aquatic nutrient cycling through his involvement with the ecosystem-scale ocean iron fertilization projects being conducted by scientific personnel from Brookhaven at that time. Mike’s research expanded to include large lakes on his arrival to Bowling Green State University where he served on the faculty for over 21 years studying the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients, phytoplankton and bacterial community dynamics and more recently, winter limnology involving research coordination with icebreaking programs of Canadian- and U.S. Coast Guards.

Among Mike’s research honors, he was awarded an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Research Fellowship in 2005 where he was resident at the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel (Germany) and in 2013, was named Visiting Scholar at the Large Lakes Observatory of the University of Minnesota. He is the author of over 95 peer-reviewed manuscripts, is a co-recipient of the 2019 John Martin award from ASLO and currently serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Great Lakes Research.

Passcode: CSCS

Abstract: The process of exploiting or "hacking" a software vulnerability can, in many cases, be understood as the process of discovering and then programming what Halvar Flake has called a "weird machine" -- a spontaneous virtual machine that supervenes on the *intended* finite state machine that the vulnerable software in question implements. A weird machine has its own peculiar instruction set and program semantics, designed by no one and existing entirely by accident. In this seminar, I will be demonstrating the utility of *genetic programming* (GP) as a technique for exploring the space of programs implicit in a particular variety of "weird machine": the variety exploited by *return-oriented programming* (ROP), a remote code execution technique that, over the past two decades, has been used by attackers to subvert the separation of writeable and executable memory imposed by various operating systems as a security feature. I will show how it is possible to evolve ROP payloads and breed them to carry out various tasks, by means of applying certain selective pressures to "populations" of integer sequences, equipped with the genetic operators of mutation and crossover. We will look particularly closely at an observed correlation between the availability of crossover (a crude form of sexual reproduction) and the likelihood of a population to discover recombinable ROP "gadgets" when initialized with a pool of random integers.

Equity & Inclusion in Accessible Survey Design
Wednesday, December 8, noon to 1:10pm ET via Zoom (link to come)
Speaker: Scott Crawford (Founder and Chief Vision Officer, SoundRocket)

As we work to adapt research designs to make use of new technologies (web and smart devices), it is also important to consider how study design and survey design may impact those who rely on assistive technology. Sections 508 (covering use of accessible information and communication technology) and 501(addressing reasonable accommodation) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 compliance standards have been around for a long time—but the survey research industry has often taken the path providing reasonable (non-technological) accommodations for study participants. These often involve alternate modes of data collection, but rarely provide a truly equitable solution for study participation. If a web-based survey is not compliant with assistive technologies, the participant may be offered the option of completing a survey with an interviewer. Survey methodologists know well that introducing a live human interaction may change how participants respond—especially if the study involves sensitive topics. Imagine a workplace survey on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion where a sight-impaired employee is asked to answer questions about how they are treated in their workplace, but they are required to answer these questions through an interviewer, and not privately via a website. Not only is this request not equitable for the employee (fully sighted employees get to respond more privately), it can also bias the results if the participant is not honest about the struggle for fear of receiving backlash from their employer if the interviewer passed along their frustrations. In the act of being denied equitable participation, future decisions will then be made on potentially faulty results about the experience of such people.

In this presentation, I will focus on developing an equitable research design, partially through considering the overall study—not just the technology itself. But we will also share experiences in the development of a highly accessible web-based survey that is compliant with screen reading technology (screen readers, mouse input grids, voice, keyboard navigation, etc.). I will present experimental, anecdotal, and descriptive experiences with accessible web-based surveys and research designs in higher education student, faculty, and staff surveys conducted on the topic of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Our results will be directly relevant for inclusion and equity in these settings as well as some surprising unintended positive consequences of some of these design decisions. Lastly, I will also share some next steps for where the field may go in continuing to improve in these areas.

Join this M-LEEaD seminar with our Guest Speaker Dr. Elvis Genbo Xu from the University of Southern Denmark as he details the multifaceted challenges in understanding the environmental and biological fates of these small plastic particles. Meaningful ecological and human health risk assessments of MNP are only possible when we have comprehensive data around their environmental behavior, exposure levels, and toxic effects. Dr. Xu will share his recent findings on the environmental occurrence, exposures, biological effects, and toxicity mechanisms of MNPs.

About the Presenter: Dr. Elvis Genbo Xu is a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Environmental Toxicology and Sapere Aude Research Leader at the University of Southern Denmark. Xu’s research combines state-of-the-art techniques from toxicology, aquatic biology, and omics to understand the impacts of emerging pollutants. His findings of micro-and nanoplastics are featured by Nature, Science, and 200+ global media. He has secured national and international grants of over 1.3 million Euro, and published 70+ peer-reviewed articles in Acc Chem Res, PNAS, ES&T, ES&T Lett, ES Nano, J Hazard Mater, etc., with 3 ESI Highly Cited Papers and 1 Hot Paper.

Location: Off Campus Location

Linguistics graduate students Justin Craft and Danielle Burgess will present their research.

Danielle Burgess:
Investigating the NegFirst Bias in Learning and Communication

ABSTRACT
In response to the apparent tendency for standard negation markers to appear in preverbal position or to "gravitate leftward" across the world's languages, Horn (1989: 452) postulated a "NegFirst principle". Tendencies for negation to appear early in the sentence have been observed by scholars working in typology, language contact, and language acquisition. However, it remains uncertain if it is necessary to postulate and motivate an independent NegFirst preference, or whether the observed tendencies can broadly be explained by other cognitive and linguistic biases which may play a role in basic constituent order patterns, grammaticalization, and language acquisition. In the current study, I use an Artificial Language Learning paradigm to test the existence of a behavioral bias consistent with NegFirst in the behavior of English speakers, and incorporate a dyadic director-matcher task in order to investigate a hypothesis that the NegFirst principle is driven by communicative factors. This study contributes to a growing body of research which aims to corroborate typological tendencies with behavioral evidence at the individual level. In this talk, I will share preliminary results which suggest that English-speaking learners do show behavior consistent with a NegFirst bias, and discuss plans to extend this research to Japanese speakers in the future.

Justin Craft:
The Effect of Listener Experience and Social Expectation on Illusory Percepts

ABSTRACT
Perceptual recalibration research has been central in demonstrating that listeners readily adapt to accented speech as listeners gain experience with accented speakers. Likewise, the sociophonetic literature has demonstrated that listener expectations and experience established through visual or contextual means also appears to drive listener percepts and inferentially aid in efforts to resolve socially conditioned phonetic ambiguities. In this talk, I'll present preliminary results from one of my dissertation experiments that utilizes McGurk stimuli to probe whether these expectational and recalibratory effects persist in illusory percepts. By breaking the audio-visual integration characteristic of typical speech processing, the use of illusory stimuli targets whether the percepts listeners experience, when stripped of socially meaningful acoustic cues, still show evidence of sociophonetic knowledge that otherwise reflects the variation found in congruent veridical audio-visual signals in the world.

Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

As imaging requirements become more demanding, we must rely on increasingly sparse and/or noisy measurements that fail to paint a complete picture. Computational imaging pipelines, which replace optics with computation, have enabled image formation in situations that are impossible for conventional optical imaging. For instance, the first black hole image, published in 2019, was only made possible through the development of computational imaging pipelines that worked alongside an Earth-sized distributed telescope. However, remaining scientific questions motivate us to improve this computational telescope to see black hole phenomena still invisible to us and to meaningfully interpret the collected data. This talk will discuss how we are leveraging and building upon recent advances in machine learning in order to achieve more efficient uncertainty quantification of reconstructed images as well as to develop techniques that allow us to extract the evolving structure of our own Milky Way's black hole over the course of a night.

Katherine L. (Katie) Bouman is a Rosenberg Scholar and an assistant professor in the Computing and Mathematical Sciences, Electrical Engineering, and Astronomy Departments at the California Institute of Technology. Before joining Caltech, she was a postdoctoral fellow in the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. She received her Ph.D. in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT in EECS, and her bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan.
