Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: English Language Institute

(For seniors and graduate students applying to PhD programs)

A strong Statement of Purpose is a key component of a successful PhD application. Are you trying to figure out how to organize and narrow down all that you might write in your Statement of Purpose (SOP)? How does an SOP differ from a Personal Statement? We will explore organizational strategies for your SOP and how to find the words to articulate why you are a great match for the program(s) you are applying to.

Bring a list of ideas, a draft outline, or a draft SOP to work on during the workshop. Please come prepared to participate actively in small group discussions.

For the last couple of decades, most industries have grown to take advantage of the information gained from data collection. As that happened, professional sports teams started to catch on. Baseball took the lead thanks to the amount of data collected over the years, which dates to the 1800s, but a lot of other professional sports followed and put more attention to their data collection. With technological advancements, particularly high-speed cameras, storage capacities and image recognition, more dynamic sports started to collect richer and richer data. The insights derived from this data started shifting the way the game is played and the way players are evaluated. This talk will take you through the evolution of data science in basketball and give examples of how data is shifting the way teams make decisions on and off the court.

This workshop helps to enhance the mentoring relationship between the student and faculty mentor. Faculty and students will work independently in separate sessions to identify their own objectives and styles, and then faculty-student pairs will have time to work together to develop a mentoring plan: a two-way document to codify goals, needs, and shared expectations. Over 85% of Rackham doctoral students surveyed report that having a written agreement for successful mentoring is useful.
This workshop is facilitated by the MORE (Mentoring Others Results in Excellence) Committee, a Rackham committee that engages with faculty and graduate students to foster conversations about mentoring.
Registration is required of both the faculty and student.

MORE Mentoring Plan Workshop (October 16, 2020 9:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/75723 75723-19576540@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 16, 2020 9:30am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

This workshop helps to enhance the mentoring relationship between the student and faculty mentor. Faculty and students will work independently in separate sessions to identify their own objectives and styles, and then faculty-student pairs will have time to work together to develop a mentoring plan: a two-way document to codify goals, needs, and shared expectations. Over 85% of Rackham doctoral students surveyed report that having a written agreement for successful mentoring is useful.
This workshop is facilitated by the MORE (Mentoring Others Results in Excellence) Committee, a Rackham committee that engages with faculty and graduate students to foster conversations about mentoring.
Registration is required of both the faculty and student.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: LSA Technology Services

Are you planning a digital project but don’t know where to start? In this workshop, participants will learn the steps needed to plan a project for success. From identifying the team members and support you will need to formalizing relationships and crediting labor in ethical and fair ways. Instructors will lead participants through the process of writing a flexible project charter including documenting decisions and choices from team member responsibilities to technical needs such as platform choices, project phasing and versioning. Practical and critical considerations will be discussed and covered when writing a project charter, and how a project plan can ease the creation of documentation as well as the grant application process. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a project template and a better understanding of the requirements needed for digital scholarship.

This workshop is part of a series, Digital Scholarship 101. This series of workshops helps scholars avoid outdated projects, unpreserved knowledge, uncredited labor, and privacy or consent issues by emphasizing process in the project life cycle. Workshop participants learn how to conceptualize the life cycle of a project using human-centered design and backwards modeling when planning their projects to better understand how to version, archive, and preserve their research projects. Throughout the series, thematic questions around sustainability, preservation, accessibility, privacy, consent, grant requirements, and teaching with research will be examined. We encourage you to come with a project in mind and bring materials if available, but is not required to attend.

Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

Bryan Stearns will give a talk titled "Extending a task-general computational model of procedural learning."

Please visit the seminar series website for Zoom link and details.

ABSTRACT
Can we understand human generality and learning well enough to make computer systems that learn the way we learn? Many models exist that help us describe various aspects of human learning or let us evaluate competing theories. It is harder to find models that specify processing at a level that is detailed enough to allow a computer system to actually perform human-like learning. This talk presents some of my thesis work that extends a model of human procedural learning to have more specific computational detail. In the process, I also extend the model by discovering connections with prior theoretical work in human skill acquisition and some neuroscience.

Towards an Artificial Intuition: Conversational Markers of (Anti)Social Dynamics (October 19, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78274 78274-20002858@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 19, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Can conversational dynamics—the nature of the back and forth between people—predict outcomes of social interactions? This talk will describe efforts on developing an artificial intuition about ongoing conversations, by modeling the subtle pragmatic and rhetorical choices of the participants.
The resulting framework distills emerging conversational patterns that can point to the nature of the social relation between interlocutors, as well as to the future trajectory of this relation. For example, I will discuss how interactional dynamics can be used to foretell whether an online conversation will stay on track or eventually derail into personal attacks, providing community moderators several hours of prior notice before an anti-social event is likely to occur.
The data and code are available through the Cornell Conversational Analysis Toolkit (ConvoKit): http://convokit.cornell.edu
This talk includes joint work with Jonathan P. Chang, Lucas Dixon, Liye Fu, Yiqing Hua, Dan Jurafsky, Lillian Lee, Jure Leskovec, Vlad Niculae, Chris Potts, Arthur Spirling, Dario Taraborelli, Nithum Thain, and Justine Zhang.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Plasma Science and Engineering (MIPSE)

Abstract:
As a fundamental process for converting kinetic to thermal energy, collisionless shocks are ubiquitous throughout the heliosphere and astrophysical systems, from Earth’s magneto-sphere to supernova remnants. While these shocks have been studied for decades by spacecraft, telescopes, and numerical simulations, there remain key open questions in shock physics, such as: How do shocks accelerate particles to extremely high energies? or How are particles heated across a shock? Laboratory experiments thus provide a significant opportunity to both complement spacecraft and remote sensing observations with well-controlled and well-diagnosed datasets, and to help benchmark numerical simulations that bridge laboratory and astrophysical systems.

In this talk, I will discuss recent results from experiments and simulations on the formation and evolution of collision-less shocks created through the interaction of a supersonic laser-driven magnetic piston and magnetized ambient plasma. Through advanced diagnostics a fast, high-Mach-number shock is observed. Direct probing of particle velocity distributions reveals the coupling between the piston and ambient plasmas that is a key step in forming magnetized collisionless shocks. Particle-in-cell simulations further detail the shock formation process, the role of collisionality, and the dynamics of multi-ion-species ambient plasmas. I will also discuss how this experimental platform complements spacecraft missions and can allow novel investigations of shock heating and particle acceleration.

About the Speaker:
Dr. Schaeffer is an Associate Research Scholar in the Department of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University. He received his BA in Physics at Cornell University and his PhD in Physics from UCLA, and did his postdoctoral work at Princeton in high-energy-density laboratory astrophysics. Dr. Schaeffer has extensive experience in experiments involving magnetized laser plasmas, collisionless shocks, and magnetic reconnection, and a keen interest in bridging laboratory and astronomical observations. He also has expertise in a wide range of diagnostics, including Thomson scattering, refractive imaging, proton radiography, and x-ray imaging. He has authored dozens of papers and has presented at numerous conferences around the world.

What if you could erase the board and redesign APS lobbying and advocacy from scratch? What issues would you work on, what techniques would you deploy? That’s precisely the position the APS Office of Government Affairs found itself in nearly four years ago. The talk will describe the circumstances APS faced, and how we responded, focusing on particular APS campaigns that successfully pushed back against federal proposals for deep cuts to R&D funding and for a new tax on graduate students. The talk will then consider current issues and how APS is now using the grassroots-based approach it developed to advance legislation on STEM visa-reform and to pass legislation in the House of Representatives to address sexual harassment in STEM.

Bio:
Francis Slakey is the Chief External Affairs Officer of the American Physical Society, overseeing the governmental, international, and industrial activities of APS.

Dr. Slakey received his Ph.D. in Physics in 1992 from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and was the Upjohn Lecturer on Science and Public Policy at Georgetown University where he founded the Program on Science in the Public Interest. He served in advisory positions for a diverse set of organizations including the National Geographic, the Council on Foreign Relations, the International Panel on Solutions to Sustainability, the Creative Coalition, and the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a MacArthur Scholar, and a Lemelson Research Associate of the Smithsonian Institution.

Dr. Slakey became the 28th American to summit Mt. Everest in an unguided environmental expedition that was the subject of the movie "Beyond the Summit", described in his international best-selling adventure memoir “To The Last Breath.” He is the first person in history to both summit the highest mountain on every continent and surf every ocean. In recognition of his adventures, as part of the 2002 Olympic Games, he carried the Olympic torch from the steps of the U.S. Capitol.

Cognitive Science Seminar Series: Children's intuitions about trade (October 26, 2020 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/77896 77896-19941562@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 26, 2020 2:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

Margaret Echelbarger, University of Chicago, will give a talk titled "Will she give you two cookies for one chocolate? Children’s intuitions about trade."

Please visit the Seminar Series website for Zoom link and access details.

ABSTRACT
Trade is a cornerstone of economic exchange and can take many different forms. In simple trades, one item is often exchanged for another; but in more complex trades, agents can trade different numbers of items, reflecting the differing value of the items being traded. Though young children regularly engage in simple trades, we examine whether they understand a key element involved in more complex trades—the idea that people may subjectively value the same item differently and accept trades that numerically disadvantage themselves in the service of acquiring more of a preferred item. To do so, we ran three studies with 5- to 10-year-old children (N = 314) in which they were asked to predict whether a third party would accept or reject different types of trades. Results revealed that children across this age range predict that a third party will accept a numerically disadvantageous trade when they prefer one resource over another, but not when they have an equal preference for both resources. Importantly, their predictions were not merely a reflection of what they thought was fair, but rather what was in the best interest of the third party—they thought a third party would be more likely to accept an “unfair” trade that benefitted himself rather than someone else. We discuss our findings in terms of what they reveal about children’s early economic intuitions.

Fair Ranking with Biased Data (October 26, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78276 78276-20002859@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 26, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Search engines and recommender systems have become the dominant matchmaker for a wide range of human endeavors — from online retail to finding romantic partners. Consequently, they carry immense power in shaping markets and allocating opportunity to the participants. In this talk, I will discuss how the machine learning algorithms underlying these systems can produce unfair ranking policies for both exogenous and endogenous reasons. Exogenous reasons often manifest themselves as biases in the training data, which then get reflected in the learned ranking policy and lead to rich-get-richer dynamics. But even when trained with unbiased data, reasons endogenous to the algorithms can lead to unfair or undesirable allocation of opportunity. To overcome these challenges, I will present new machine learning algorithms that directly address both endogenous and exogenous unfairness.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

How do scholars determine the appropriate units of analysis for studying the past? What is at stake in the choice of a city, a province, a nation, a region, an empire, or even the world? This panel explores what is gained or lost when grouping people into naturalized territorial categories, as well as the agency of historical actors in rejecting or reconstituting these categories. Panelists will reflect on tensions between the boundedness of pre-given units of analysis and the freedom of historical actors to deploy, contest, or radically re-imagine the dominant ordering of their worlds from a diverse set of geographic and temporal perspectives: museums in late imperial Russia, gender and power in the Yuan court, interwar population exchanges in the Balkans, and multiculturalism and policing in 1980s Los Angeles.

Featuring:
Albert Cavallaro, Graduate Student, History, University of Michigan 
Andrea Valedón-Trapote, Graduate Student, History, University of Michigan 
David Helps, Graduate Student, History, University of Michigan 
Lediona Shahollari, Graduate Student, History, University of Michigan

There is growing awareness and concern about the role of automation in hiring, and the potential for these tools to reinforce historic inequalities in the labor market. I will present the results of an algorithm audit of the resume search engines offered by several of the largest online hiring platforms, to understand the relationship between a candidate’s gender and their rank in search results. We audited these platform with respect to individual and group fairness, as well as indirect and direct discrimination. I conclude with a brief discussion of the social and policy implications of our study.

Abstract:
Matter at extreme pressures, temperatures, and densities characterizes a wide variety of natural and man-made phenomena, including interiors of Jovian size planets, hyper-velocity meteor impacts, the burning core of stars, thermonuclear burning inertial confinement fusion capsules. Matter at these conditions defines the exciting and challenging field of High Energy Density Physics (HEDP). Besides vast experimental resources, there exists a rich set of computational tools that model the micro to macro regimes of HEDP. Recently, there has been a resurgence in interest in using a “simpler” approach to investigating HEDP based on quantum hydrodynamics. Quantum Hydrodynamics (QHD) has a long and interesting history, dating back to the first developments by Madelung and Bohm. In this talk, we discuss the historical and recent developments in QHD, including pitfalls, as applied to quantum many-body systems relevant to HEDP regimes. We will present three different approaches to deriving the QHD equations-Madelung, Bloch, and Wigner and discuss their pros and cons. Finally, the role that Rayleigh-Taylor hydrodynamic instabilities play is discussed within the QHD formalism.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

Dominic Kelly, U-M Department of Psychology, will give a talk titled "Daily cognition: The design and validation of open intensive longitudinal assessments."

ABSTRACT

Although cognition is often assumed to be stable, there is evidence that it can in fact vary over relatively short timespans, including from day to day. Investigations of cognitive fluctuations, especially fluctuations in cognitive skills that show gender differences, however, are limited by a lack of suitable instruments that are specifically designed for intensive longitudinal assessment (e.g., that reflect daily variation instead of practice effects). Our goal was to design and validate two new, freely available 75-occasion measures of gendered cognition – three-dimensional mental rotations and delayed paired verbal recall. We accomplished this by conducting a 75-day study with 121 participants who completed the novel cognitive measures every evening. Focusing on an age- and language-matched sample of 27 men and 27 women, results suggested that the novel measures are valid, and that they show parallel forms reliability across 75 days and the expected gender differences each day. Moreover, significant intra-individual variation was observed in cognition across the 75 days, indicating that gendered cognition fluctuates daily (in men and women). These findings encourage future work on the antecedents and consequences of cognitive fluctuations and on intra-individual variation in spatial and verbal skills with the new 75-occasion assessments.

Reported case-counts for coronavirus are wrinkled with data errors, namely misclassification of the tests and selection bias associated with who got tested. The number of covert or unascertained infections is large across the world. How can one determine optimal testing strategies with such imperfect data? In this talk, we propose an optimization algorithm for allocating diagnostic/surveillance tests when your objective is estimating the true population prevalence or detecting an outbreak. Infectious disease models and survey sampling techniques are used jointly to come up with these strategies

Students’ mobility patterns on campus and the implications for the recovery of campus activities post-pandemic (November 10, 2020 10:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79204 79204-20231445@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 10, 2020 10:30am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

This research project uses location data gathered from WiFi access points on campus to model the mobility patterns of students in order to inform the planning of educational activities that can minimize the transmission risk.
The first aim is to understand the general mobility patterns of students on campus to identify physical spaces associating with a high-risk of transmission. For example, we can extract insights from WiFi data about which locations are the busiest during which time of the day, how much time was typically spent at each location, and how do these mobility patterns change over time. The second aim is to understand how students share the same physical spaces on campus (e.g. attending a lecture, meeting in the same room, sharing the same dorm). Students are presumably in a close proximity when they are connected to the same WiFi access point. We model a student-to-student network from their co-location activities and use its network centrality measures as proxies of transmission risk (i.e. students in the center of a network would have a higher chance of getting exposed to COVID-19 than those in the periphery). We then correlate network centrality measures with academic information (e.g. class schedule, course enrollment, study major, year of study, gender, ethnicity) to determine whether certain features of the academic record are related to transmission risk. For example, we can identify which groups of students are more vulnerable to potential infections by associating with a high network centrality. Insights from this research project will inform the University of Michigan’s strategies for the recovery of educational activities post-pandemic with empirical evidence of students’ mobility pattern on campus as well as factors that associate with a high-risk of transmission.

Modeling the Perceived Truthfulness of Public Statements on COVID-19: A New Model for Pairwise Comparisons of Objects with Multidimensional Latent Attributes (November 10, 2020 10:50am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79205 79205-20231446@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 10, 2020 10:50am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

What is more important for how individuals perceive the truthfulness of statements about COVID-19: a) the objective truthfulness of the statements, or b) the partisanship of the individual and the partisanship of the people making the statements? To answer this question, we develop a novel model for pairwise comparisons data that allows for a richer structure of both the latent attributes of the objects being compared and rater-specific perceptual differences than standard models. We use the model to analyze survey data that we collected in the summer of 2020. This survey asked respondents to compare the truthfulness of pairs of statements about COVID-19. These statements were taken from the fact-checked statements on https://www.politifact.com. We thus have an independent measure of the truthfulness of each statement. We find that the actual truthfulness of a statement explains very little of the variability in individuals’ perceptions of truthfulness. Instead, we find that the partisanship of the speaker and the partisanship of the rater account for the majority of the variation in perceived truthfulness, with statements made by co-partisans being viewed as more truthful.

The proliferation of digital information in all human experiences presents difficult challenges and offers unique opportunities of managing, modeling, analyzing, interpreting, and visualizing heterogeneous data. There is a substantial need to develop, validate, productize, and support novel mathematical techniques, advanced statistical computing algorithms, transdisciplinary tools, and effective artificial intelligence apps.

Spacekime analytics is a new technique for modeling high-dimensional longitudinal data, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This approach relies on extending the notions of time, events, particles, and wave functions to complex-time (kime), complex-events (kevents), data and inference-functions, respectively. This talk will illustrate how the kime-magnitude (longitudinal time order) and kime-direction (phase) affect the subsequent predictive analytics and the induced scientific inference. The mathematical foundation of spacekime calculus reveals various statistical implications including inferential uncertainty and a Bayesian formulation of spacekime analytics. Complexifying time allows the lifting of all commonly observed processes from the classical 4D Minkowski spacetime to a 5D spacetime manifold, where a number of interesting mathematical problems arise.

Spacekime analytics transforms time-varying data, such as time-series observations, into higher-dimensional manifolds representing complex-valued and kime-indexed surfaces (kime-surfaces). This process uncovers some of the intricate structure in high-dimensional data that may be intractable in the classical space-time representation of the data. In addition, the spacekime representation facilitates the development of innovative data science analytical methods for model-based and model-free scientific inference, derived computed phenotyping, and statistical forecasting. Direct neuroscience science applications of spacekime analytics will be demonstrated using simulated data and clinical observations (e.g., UK Biobank).

Challenges in dynamic mode decomposition (November 10, 2020 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79207 79207-20231448@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 10, 2020 11:30am

Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) is a powerful tool in extracting spatio-temporal patterns from multi-dimensional time series. DMD takes in time series data and computes eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a finite-dimensional linear model that approximates the infinite-dimensional Koopman operator which encodes the dynamics. DMD is used successfully in many fields: fluid mechanics, robotics, neuroscience, and more. Two of the main challenges remaining in DMD research are noise sensitivity and issues related to Krylov space closure when modeling nonlinear systems. In our work, we encountered great difficulty in reconstructing time series from multilegged robot data. These are oscillatory systems with slow transients, which decay only slightly faster than a period.
Here we present an investigation of possible sources of difficulty by studying a class of systems with linear latent dynamics which are observed via multinomial observables. We explore the influences of dataset metrics, the spectrum of the latent dynamics, the normality of the system matrix, and the geometry of the dynamics. Our numerical models include system and measurement noise. Our results show that even for these very mildly nonlinear conditions, DMD methods often fail to recover the spectrum and can have poor predictive ability. We show that for a system with a well-posed system matrix, having a dataset with more initial conditions and shorter trajectories can significantly improve the prediction. With a slightly ill-conditioned system matrix, a moderate trajectory length improves the spectrum recovery. Our work provides a self-contained framework on analyzing noise and nonlinearity, and gives generalizable insights dataset properties for DMD analysis.

Video is being acquired at an alarming rate across domains, including social research, healthcare, entertainment, sporting and more. The ability to code this video—attribute certain properties, labels, and other annotations—in support of analytical domain-relevant questions is critical; otherwise, human coding is required. Human coding, however, is laborious, expensive, not repeatable, and, worse, often error prone. Video coding, an area within artificial intelligence and computer vision, seeks automated and semi-automated methods to support more effective and robust video coding. This workshop will review the state of the art in video coding from a capabilities, limitations and tooling perspective and present real-world use-cases.

Novel Tools to Increase the Reliability and Reproducibility of Population Genetics Research (November 11, 2020 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79208 79208-20231449@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 11, 2020 9:00am

Advances in population genetic research have the potential to create numerous important advances in the science of population dynamics. The interplay of micro-level biology and macro-level social sciences documents gene–environment–phenotype interactions and allows us to examine how genetics relates to child health and wellbeing. However, traditional genetics research is based on nonrepresentative samples that deviate from the target population, such as convenience and volunteer samples. This lack of representativeness may distort association studies. Recent findings have provoked concern about misinterpretation, irreproducibility and lack of generalizability, exemplifying the need to leverage survey research with genetics for population-based research. This project is motivated by the research team’s collaborative work on the Fragile Family and Child Wellbeing Study and the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study, which present these common problems in population genetics studies, to advance the integration of genetic science into population dynamics research. The project will evaluate sample selection effects, identify population heterogeneity in polygenic score analysis, and develop strategies to adjust for selection bias in the association studies of educational attainment, cognition status and substance use for child health and wellbeing. This interdisciplinary project will strengthen the validity and generalizability of population genetics research, deepen new understandings of human behavior and facilitate advances in population science.
