Basic Concepts in Responsive Survey Design

Webinar open for registration!

June 27, 2022
9:00am-1:00pm
M

This course will provide participants with an overview of the primary concepts underlying RSD. This will include discussion of the uncertainty in survey design, the role of paradata, or data describing the data collection process, in informing decisions, and potential RSD interventions. These interventions include timing and sequence of modes, techniques for efficiently deploying incentives, and combining two-phase sampling with other design changes. Interventions appropriate for face-to-face, telephone, web, mail and mixed-mode surveys will be discussed. Using the Total Survey Error (TSE) framework, the main concepts behind these designs will be explained with a focus on how these principles are designed to simultaneously control survey errors and survey costs. Examples of RSD in both large and small studies will be provided as motivation. Small group exercises will help participants to think through some of the common questions that need to be answered when employing RSD.

Case Studies in Responsive Design Research: Face to Face and Phone Surveys

Webinar open for registration!

June 29, 2022
9:00am-1:00pm
W

This webinar will explore several well-developed examples of RSD. Dr. West will serve as a moderator of the webinar, and also introduce a case study from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG). The instructors will then provide independent examples of the implementation of RSD in different international surveys using face-to-face and telephone modes of data collection. All case studies will be supplemented with discussions of issues regarding the development and implementation of RSD. Case studies will include the NSFG, the Relationship Dynamics and Social Life (RDSL) survey, and the Netherlands Survey of Consumer Satisfaction, among others. This variety of case studies will reflect a diversity of survey conditions. The NSFG (West) is a cross-sectional survey that is run on a continuous basis with in-person interviewing. The RDSL (West) is a small-scale panel survey that employed a mixed-mode approach to collecting weekly journal data from a panel of young women. The Netherlands Survey of Consumer Satisfaction (Schouten) is a mixed-mode survey combining web and mail survey data collection with telephone interviewing. The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (AddHealth; Murphy) employs adaptive design in a longitudinal framework, using web, mail, telephone, and face-to-face modes of data collection. The focus of the course will be on practical tools for implementing RSD in a variety of conditions, including small-scale surveys.

Case Studies in Responsive Design Research in Web Surveys

Webinar open for registration!

Web surveys can be an inexpensive method for collecting data. This is especially true for designs that repeat measurement over several time periods. However, these relatively low-cost data collections may result in reduced data quality if the problem of nonresponse is ignored. This webinar will examine methods for using RSD to effectively deploy scarce resources in order to minimize the risk of nonresponse bias.
Recent experiences with the University of Michigan Campus Climate Survey (UM-CCS), the National Survey of College Graduates (NSCG), and the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) are used to illustrate this point. These surveys are all defined by phased designs and multiple modes of contact. This approach improves survey outcomes, including response rates, representativeness, and cost by using alternative contact methods in later phases to recruit sample members from subgroups that were less likely to respond in earlier phases. These surveys demonstrate the benefit of RSD in web surveys across a variety of different samples sizes, and both small and large budgets and management teams. As a result, lessons from these experiences can be directly applied in many similar settings.

When you’re on a mental “hamster wheel,” running faster doesn’t help. Slowing down, stepping to the side, and seeing from another perspective does.

In our work as faculty, practitioners, and researchers, we may find ourselves getting stuck in the same places, finding that our familiar approaches fail to move us forward. How do we refresh and jumpstart inspiration? To get “unstuck,” we need to try new perspectives and approaches. In this workshop, we use arts-based activities to open up new neural pathways. We refresh our thinking and jumpstart inspiration with poetry, visual art, and movement. This class calls upon a range of intelligences and skills inherent in us all – no formal arts training required.


Experimenting with new materials can provoke new insight.

What to expect:

*immersive, artistic exploration
*guided critical reflection
*one-on-one discussion with peers
*two hours that fly by

What you’ll get:

*a refreshed perspective on an area or question that’s important to you
*a dedicated time and space for exploring that area in new ways

9:00am-1:00pm
W

This first webinar in a two-part series on implementing interventions in a responsive design framework will discuss a variety of potential RSD interventions. Many of these have been implemented experimentally, and the course will include evaluations of those experiments. The importance of experimental evaluations in early phases of RSD will be discussed. Methods for implementing interventions will also be discussed, including implementation of experiments aimed at evaluating new interventions. Strategies for implementing these interventions with both interviewer-mediated and self-administered (e.g., web and mail) surveys will be discussed. Methods for the evaluation of the results of the interventions (experimental and otherwise) will be considered. These evaluations will include measures of both costs and errors.

A Virtually Syntax Free Practical Introduction to Web Scraping for Survey and Social Science Researchers

Course open for registration!

July 18-19, 2022
1:00pm-5:00pm
M/T

This short course will offer a very practical introduction to data gathering geared at social scientists and survey researchers. This course begins with an overview of web scraping discussing some basic technical jargon, types of web data and various methods for scraping. The course also includes a discussion and illustration of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) use for gathering web data when they are available. Some websites are designed to be easily accessible by web crawlers or scraping algorithms while others require much more advanced, custom programming. And some web data can be accessed using an API that is provided by the website. In this course we will illustrate how participants can discern these differences as well as presenting several motivating examples of the various ways web scraped data can be used throughout a study’s lifecycle from design to calibration to analysis. We provide an extensive introduction to a suite of freeware programs that allow virtually syntax free, but customizable, web scraping capabilities. We contrast this type of gathered data access to APIs for some websites like Zillow or Twitter and discuss pros and cons of using web scraping or APIs to gather this type of web data. The course concludes with specific focus on the import.io tool where we demonstrate its capabilities and provide several, hands-on practical examples for participants to begin scraping several websites of increasing complexity. We will also illustrate API calls in R for Zillow, the Census and others as time permits.

M/Th/F

The amount of data generated as a by-product in society is growing fast including data from satellites, sensors, transactions, social media and smartphones, just to name a few. Such data are often referred to as “big data”, and can be used to create value in different areas such as health and crime prevention, commerce and fraud detection. An emerging practice in many areas is to append or link big data sources with more specific and smaller scale sources that often contain much more limited information. This practice has been used for some time by survey researchers in constructing frames by appending auxiliary information that is often not directly available on the frame, but can be obtained from an external source. Using Big Data has the potential to go beyond the sampling phase for survey researchers and in fact has the potential to influence the social sciences in general. Big Data is of interest for public opinion researchers and agencies that produce statistics to find alternative data sources either to reduce costs, to improve estimates or to produce estimates in a more timely fashion. However, Big Data pose several interesting and new challenges to survey researchers and social scientists among others who want to extract information from data. As Robert Groves (2012) pointedly commented, the era is “appropriately called Big Data and not Big Information”, because there is a lot of work for analysts before information can be gained from “auxiliary traces of some process that is going on in society.”

This course offers participants a broad overview of big data sources, opportunities and examples motivated within the survey and social science contexts including the use of social media data, para data and other such sources. This course also offers a detailed, practical introduction to four common machine learning methods that can be applied to big and small data alike at various aspects of a study’s lifecycle from design to nonresponse adjustments to propensity score matching to weighting and evaluation and analysis. The machine learning methods will be demonstrated in R and we will provide several different examples of using these methods along with multiple packages in R that offer these methods.

Organized By: Center for Connected and Automated Transportation

Engineers and computer scientists are currently developing autonomous systems whose entire set of behaviors in future, untested situations is unknown. For instance, how can a designer foresee all situations that an autonomous vehicle will face? Keeping in mind that many autonomous systems are safety-critical or operation-critical, it is irresponsible to deploy such systems without testing all possible situations---this, however, seems impossible since even the most important possible situations are often unmanageably many. This presentation proposes a paradigm shift that will make it possible to guarantee safety in unforeseeable situations (under mild model assumptions): Instead of verifying the correctness of a system before deployment, we propose online verification, a new verification paradigm where a system continuously checks the correctness of its next action by itself in its current environment (and only in it) in a just-in-time manner. The usefulness of this method will be demonstrated primarily for autonomous driving and robotics.

An Introduction to Big Data and Machine Learning for Survey Researchers and Social Scientists

Course open for registration!
Open to all!

July 20-22, 2022
1:00pm – 5:00pm
M/Th/F

The amount of data generated as a by-product in society is growing fast including data from satellites, sensors, transactions, social media and smartphones, just to name a few. Such data are often referred to as “big data”, and can be used to create value in different areas such as health and crime prevention, commerce and fraud detection. An emerging practice in many areas is to append or link big data sources with more specific and smaller scale sources that often contain much more limited information. This practice has been used for some time by survey researchers in constructing frames by appending auxiliary information that is often not directly available on the frame, but can be obtained from an external source. Using Big Data has the potential to go beyond the sampling phase for survey researchers and in fact has the potential to influence the social sciences in general. Big Data is of interest for public opinion researchers and agencies that produce statistics to find alternative data sources either to reduce costs, to improve estimates or to produce estimates in a more timely fashion. However, Big Data pose several interesting and new challenges to survey researchers and social scientists among others who want to extract information from data. As Robert Groves (2012) pointedly commented, the era is “appropriately called Big Data and not Big Information”, because there is a lot of work for analysts before information can be gained from “auxiliary traces of some process that is going on in society.”

This course offers participants a broad overview of big data sources, opportunities and examples motivated within the survey and social science contexts including the use of social media data, para data and other such sources. This course also offers a detailed, practical introduction to four common machine learning methods that can be applied to big and small data alike at various aspects of a study’s lifecycle from design to nonresponse adjustments to propensity score matching to weighting and evaluation and analysis. The machine learning methods will be demonstrated in R and we will provide several different examples of using these methods along with multiple packages in R that offer these methods.

his one-week course introduces students to the design and implementation of online survey data collection instruments. The course is both hands-on and conceptual. It begins by discussing what is unique about web surveys and when their use is most appropriate, followed by an introduction to survey errors that can affect the quality of web survey data. Small groups of students will each develop a research problem and a questionnaire to address their problem, designed for online administration. They will pretest the question wording, program the questionnaire using a web survey development platform (no programming experience is required), and assess users’ (respondents’) experience while interacting with the web-based instrument. Students will also develop basic plans for data collection and analysis. Finally, each group will present its problem, online questionnaire, evaluation, and plans to the rest of the class.

Why take this course?

· To gain an understanding of what should go into creating a web-based questionnaire

· To gain experience weighing the pros and cons of different web questionnaire features

· To gain experience building a web questionnaire on a standard platform

· To gain experience evaluating survey questions and their usability in an online questionnaire

10:00am-12:00pm
Wednesdays

Social scientists are increasingly interested in machine learning methods to glean scientific knowledge and actionable insights from designed and gathered data. Implementing machine learning, however, requires users to have programming skills. This can be a daunting challenge for many non-tech savvy researchers. This course aims to guide social scientists to explore how machine learning can be used for their research without learning how to code. This course uses a graphical user interface tool Orange to provide learners with hands-on experiences in implementing machine learning techniques including data cleaning, visualization, and fine-tuning of algorithmic models. The open-source tool Orange is built on popular Python packages, providing basically the same functions and performances as many data scientists would obtain by writing complicated code. The course demonstrates that researchers can utilize the power of machine learning without learning how to code and focus more on machine learning concepts and best practices as well as analytical model development and validation.

Prerequisite: You must have your own laptop or desktop with Orange installed to participate in this class. For installation instruction of Orange, see https://orangedatamining.com/

Course open for registration!
Open to all!

September 7 - October 5, 2022
10:00am-12:00pm
Wednesdays

Social scientists are increasingly interested in machine learning methods to glean scientific knowledge and actionable insights from designed and gathered data. Implementing machine learning, however, requires users to have programming skills. This can be a daunting challenge for many non-tech savvy researchers. This course aims to guide social scientists to explore how machine learning can be used for their research without learning how to code. This course uses a graphical user interface tool Orange to provide learners with hands-on experiences in implementing machine learning techniques including data cleaning, visualization, and fine-tuning of algorithmic models. The open-source tool Orange is built on popular Python packages, providing basically the same functions and performances as many data scientists would obtain by writing complicated code. The course demonstrates that researchers can utilize the power of machine learning without learning how to code and focus more on machine learning concepts and best practices as well as analytical model development and validation.

Prerequisite: You must have your own laptop or desktop with Orange installed to participate in this class. For installation instruction of Orange, see https://orangedatamining.com/

About the Positive Links Speaker Series:
The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

About the Event:
As workplaces have become increasingly disconnected, individuals have a stronger need for a sense of connection and community. They want to work in environments in which they can be their authentic selves and are valued for their contributions. Leaders are expected to build these types of environments, but to do so in a moment when their plates are already full.

This talk will explore the how of inclusive leadership. Based on her body of research and advisory work with organizations, Quinetta will offer strategies for developing an inclusive mindset and practicing leadership behaviors for creating more inclusive work environments. By incorporating inclusive leadership into daily activities and interactions, we can foster workplaces in which everyone feels enabled to be their best selves.

About Roberson:
Quinetta M. Roberson, PhD is the John A. Hannah Distinguished Professor of Management and Psychology at Michigan State University. Prior to her current position, she was an Endowed Chair at Villanova University and a tenured professor at Cornell University. She has been a visiting scholar at universities on six continents and has more than 20 years of global experience in teaching courses, facilitating workshops, and advising organizations on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Dr. Roberson has published over 40 scholarly journal articles and book chapters, edited a Handbook of Diversity in the Workplace (2013), and is a two-time TEDx speaker. Her research and consulting work focus on developing organizational capability and enhancing effectiveness through diversity, equity, and inclusion, and is informed by her work experiences, having worked as a financial analyst and small business consultant prior to obtaining her doctorate.

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

Written text contains a wealth of information that can be turned into research data to study almost every aspect of human behavior, human health and our society. However, converting text to usable data requires an understanding of standard techniques from the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). MIDAS and the AI Lab are jointly organizing a monthly series of NLP workshops during the Fall 2022 semester. The first installment is on Sept. 19, and the second installment is on Oct. 10. Each session does not directly depend upon information from previous sessions.

In the first workshop of the series, we will provide a broad overview of NLP and introduce basic concepts used in NLP, including keyword counting, sentiment classification, and topic modeling. Additional topics include how NLP can be used, what the data look like, what (social science) questions could be answered using NLP, and more.

The second session, on Oct 10, is titled "What's in Text Data?"
Written text contains rich information about human knowledge, opinions, and communication styles, but how do we extract insight about all this from the data? In this second workshop in the series, we will first introduce Jupyter notebooks, a popular platform for performing data science research. Then we will discuss how to choose a dataset for your research question, extract your own dataset from social media sites like Reddit and Twitter, and convert the raw text data to a usable format. We will then explore several methods to extract information and gain insight from text data, including named entity recognition and sentiment analysis.

The recent proliferation of mobile technology allows researchers to collect objective health and behavioral data at increased intervals, in real time, and may also reduce participant burden. In this course, we will provide examples of the utility of and integration of wearables, sensors, and apps in research settings. Examples will include the use of wearable health devices to measure activity, apps for ecological momentary assessment, and smartphone sensors to measure sound and movement, among others. Additionally, this course will consider the integration of these new technologies into existing surveys and the quality of the data collected from the total survey error perspective. We will discuss considerations for assessing coverage, participation, and measurement error when integrating wearables, sensors, and apps in a research setting as well as the costs and privacy considerations when collecting these types of data. Participants will work in groups to discuss a research study design using new technology and have the opportunity for hands-on practice with sensor data.

Departmental Seminar (899): Frank Curtis (September 22, 2022 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96923 96923-21793572@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 22, 2022 3:00pm
Location: Industrial and Operations Engineering Building
Organized By: U-M Industrial & Operations Engineering

Speaker: Frank Curtis, Professor at Lehigh University

Title: "Deterministically Constrained Stochastic Optimization"

Abstract: Curtis will present the recent work by his research group on the design, analysis, and implementation of algorithms for solving continuous nonlinear optimization problems that involve a stochastic objective function and deterministic constraints. The talk will focus on sequential quadratic optimization (commonly known as SQP) methods for cases when the constraints are defined by nonlinear systems of equations and inequalities. These methods are applicable for solving various types of problems, such as for training machine learning (e.g., deep learning) models with constraints. His work focuses on the "fully stochastic" regime in which only stochastic gradient estimates are employed, for which we have derived convergence-in-expectation results and worst-case iteration complexity bounds that are on par with stochastic gradient methods for the unconstrained setting. Curtis will also discuss the various extensions that his group is exploring.

Bio: Frank E. Curtis is a Professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Lehigh University. Prior to joining Lehigh, he received his bachelor's degree from the College of William and Mary, received his master's and doctoral degrees from the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management Science at Northwestern University, and worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University. His research focuses on the design, analysis, and implementation of numerical methods for solving large-scale nonlinear optimization problems. He received an Early Career Award from the Advanced Scientific Computing Research program of the U.S. Department of Energy, and has had other funded projects with the U.S. National Science Foundation, Office of Naval Research, and Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy. He received, along with Leon Bottou (Facebook AI Research) and Jorge Nocedal (Northwestern), the 2021 SIAM/MOS Lagrange Prize in Continuous Optimization. He was awarded, with James V. Burke (U. of Washington), Adrian Lewis (Cornell), and Michael Overton (NYU), the 2018 INFORMS Computing Society Prize. He and team members Daniel Molzahn (Georgia Tech), Andreas Waechter (Northwestern), Ermin Wei (Northwestern), and Elizabeth Wong (UC San Diego) were awarded second place in the ARPA-E Grid Optimization Competition in 2020. He currently serves as an Associate Editor for Mathematical Programming, SIAM Journal on Optimization, Mathematics of Operations Research, IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis, and Mathematical Programming Computation. He previously served as the Vice Chair for Nonlinear Programming for the INFORMS Optimization Society and is currently very active in professional societies and groups related to mathematical optimization, including INFORMS, the Mathematics Optimization Society, and the SIAM Activity Group on Optimization.

Social scientists are increasingly interested in machine learning methods to glean scientific knowledge and actionable insights from designed and gathered data. Implementing machine learning, however, requires users to have programming skills. This can be a daunting challenge for many non-tech savvy researchers. This course aims to guide social scientists to explore how machine learning can be used for their research without learning how to code. This course uses a graphical user interface tool Orange to provide learners with hands-on experiences in implementing machine learning techniques including data cleaning, visualization, and fine-tuning of algorithmic models. The open-source tool Orange is built on popular Python packages, providing basically the same functions and performances as many data scientists would obtain by writing complicated code. The course demonstrates that researchers can utilize the power of machine learning without learning how to code and focus more on machine learning concepts and best practices as well as analytical model development and validation.

Prerequisite: You must have your own laptop or desktop with Orange installed to participate in this class. For installation instruction of Orange, see https://orangedatamining.com/

Using Traffic Signals to Decongest Cities May Be Simpler Than We Thought (September 29, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97794 97794-21795141@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 29, 2022 1:30pm
Location: Transportation Research Institute
Organized By: Center for Connected and Automated Transportation

This presentation focuses on two well-known means of re-timing ordinary traffic signals to mitigate city-street traffic congestion. The first entails synchronizing green times on 4-way (i.e., all-directional) street grids. The second involves re-timing the signals that reside along cordon lines, to meter vehicle inflows during the morning rush. We show that, in both cases, simple strategies can perform remarkably well. The lecture will offer next steps toward real-world implementation.

To synchronize green times, Professor Cassidy's team use common phase durations for all signals on a grid, rather than optimize each signal’s timing plan to suit local conditions. This simple idea enables them to exploit features of perfectly orthogonal grids to synchronize all signals on the grid in two orthogonal (e.g., northbound, and westbound) travel directions. As a result, drivers headed toward clustered workplaces in the morning rush, and away from those workplaces in the evening, can enjoy exceptionally good signal progression over their entire trips, even when their paths entail two directions. One synchronization mode is used for undersaturated conditions when queues dissipate during green times; another is used when conditions become oversaturated with long residual queues; and the team's strategy toggles promptly between these two synchronization modes, as measurable conditions on the grid change over time. Simulations of numerous scenarios indicate that our simple, adaptive strategy dramatically outperforms other synchronization schemes, including complicated ones and those viewed as gold standards. Importantly, the presentation also shows that their strategy can be easily modified to perform well on irregular, real-world street grids.

As regards cordon metering, they fill a gaping hole in the literature by providing logical and easy-to-follow rules on how exactly to place cordons around clustered workplaces. Simulations show that the simple rules hold for varying congestion levels and regional configurations, and that following the rules can be impactful, especially when cities become severely congested.

Social scientists are increasingly interested in machine learning methods to glean scientific knowledge and actionable insights from designed and gathered data. Implementing machine learning, however, requires users to have programming skills. This can be a daunting challenge for many non-tech savvy researchers. This course aims to guide social scientists to explore how machine learning can be used for their research without learning how to code. This course uses a graphical user interface tool Orange to provide learners with hands-on experiences in implementing machine learning techniques including data cleaning, visualization, and fine-tuning of algorithmic models. The open-source tool Orange is built on popular Python packages, providing basically the same functions and performances as many data scientists would obtain by writing complicated code. The course demonstrates that researchers can utilize the power of machine learning without learning how to code and focus more on machine learning concepts and best practices as well as analytical model development and validation.

Prerequisite: You must have your own laptop or desktop with Orange installed to participate in this class. For installation instruction of Orange, see https://orangedatamining.com/

MPSDS JPSM Seminar Series
October 5, 2022
12:00 - 1:00 pm

Should surveys produce more contextual features? Comparing contextual features by alternative definitions of neighborhoods.

Shiyu Zhang is a PhD candidate at the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science. Before arriving at Michigan, she received master's degrees in immigration study, sociology and data science, and a bachelor's degree in psychology. Shiyu's dissertation focuses on the effect of adaptive survey design on estimates. She is also interested in collecting and using neighborhood features as auxiliary variables.

An important methodological challenge in studying neighborhood effects is how to geographically define “neighborhoods” and create contextual features to characterize the areas. In quantitative research that uses survey data, contextual features are commonly defined by census geographies like census tracts and block groups. However, the literature has called for expanding the definition of neighborhoods beyond census boundaries and exploring contextual features in geographic areas more relevant to the studied individuals.
In this research, we compare social and built environment features of neighborhoods based on three geographic definitions (i.e., census tracts, residential buffers, and respondent-informed neighborhoods). We evaluate how the alternatively defined measures influence the detected associations between contextual features and health outcomes. Our findings suggest that the neighborhood definition matters. Therefore, other than simply offering linkages to census boundaries based on participants’ geocoded location, surveys may enrich the data and support further research by producing and releasing case-specific contextual features.

Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science (MPSDS)
The University of Michigan Program in Survey Methodology was established in 2001 seeking to train future generations of survey and data scientists. In 2021, we changed our name to the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science (MPSDS). Our curriculum is concerned with a broad set of data sources including survey data, but also including social media posts, sensor data, and administrative records, as well as analytic methods for working with these new data sources. And we bring to data science a focus on data quality — which is not at the center of traditional data science. The new name speaks to what we teach and work on at the intersection of social research and data. The program offers doctorate and master of science degrees and a certificate through the University of Michigan. The program's home is the Institute for Social Research, the world's largest academically-based social science research institute.

About the Positive Links Speaker Series:
The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

About the Event:
Having an edge is about gaining an advantage, but it goes beyond just advantage. It’s about recognizing that others will have their own perceptions about us, right or wrong. When you recognize the power in those perceptions and flip them in your favor, you create an edge—and your hard work works harder for you.

Join Laura Huang, acclaimed business professor at Harvard University and author of Edge: Turning Adversity into Advantage, as she discusses with Julia Lee Cunningham how to use everything to your advantage, even your perceived flaws and the systemic biases that hold you back. Laura shares how to harness the very stereotypes and qualities that seem like shortcomings and reframe them as assets that work in your favor. And by doing so, you will find and create your own unique edge.

About Huang:

Natural Language Processing Workshop Series (October 10, 2022 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97509 97509-21794843@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 10, 2022 3:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Written text contains a wealth of information that can be turned into research data to study almost every aspect of human behavior, human health and our society. However, converting text to usable data requires an understanding of standard techniques from the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). MIDAS and the AI Lab are jointly organizing a monthly series of NLP workshops during the Fall 2022 semester. The first installment is on Sept. 19, and the second installment is on Oct. 10. Each session does not directly depend upon information from previous sessions.

In the first workshop of the series, we will provide a broad overview of NLP and introduce basic concepts used in NLP, including keyword counting, sentiment classification, and topic modeling. Additional topics include how NLP can be used, what the data look like, what (social science) questions could be answered using NLP, and more.

The second session, on Oct 10, is titled "What's in Text Data?"
Written text contains rich information about human knowledge, opinions, and communication styles, but how do we extract insight about all this from the data? In this second workshop in the series, we will first introduce Jupyter notebooks, a popular platform for performing data science research. Then we will discuss how to choose a dataset for your research question, extract your own dataset from social media sites like Reddit and Twitter, and convert the raw text data to a usable format. We will then explore several methods to extract information and gain insight from text data, including named entity recognition and sentiment analysis.

In light of the recent decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe vs. Wade, join us for a panel discussion event to explore the implications of this decision on the STEM community.

Presented by the STEM Trifecta, a collaborative comprising the Women in Science and Engineering Residence Program (WISE RP), the Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Program, and the College of Engineering’s Office of Culture, Community and Equity (OCCE). The STEM Trifecta was established to elevate the overlapping goals and outcomes of each respective unit, while creating new initiatives and outreach to support minoritized communities pursuing science, engineering, technology and mathematics at the University of Michigan and beyond.

In particular, we want to create a safe space for students to learn about the science, policy, and real-world impact of this decision–at the personal level as college undergraduate and graduate students–but also as emerging STEM professionals. We hope to create space for understanding, and empower individual and collective action to discover how one can use their spheres of influence to effect change. Finally, we are hoping to positively promote the benefits of voting, and you will be able to register to vote during the event.


Featured panelists:

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: U-M Alum, Ford Adjunct Faculty, MD/MPH

Brady T. West is a Research Professor in the Survey Methodology Program, located within the Survey Research Center at the Institute for Social Research on the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (U-M) campus. He earned his PhD from the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science in 2011. Before that, he received an MA in Applied Statistics from the U-M Statistics Department in 2002, being recognized as an Outstanding First-year Applied Masters student, and a BS in Statistics with Highest Honors and Highest Distinction from the U-M Statistics Department in 2001. His current research interests include the implications of measurement error in auxiliary variables and survey paradata for survey estimation, selection bias in surveys, responsive/adaptive survey design, interviewer effects, and multilevel regression models for clustered and longitudinal data. He is the lead author of a book comparing different statistical software packages in terms of their mixed-effects modeling procedures (Linear Mixed Models: A Practical Guide using Statistical Software, Third Edition, Chapman Hall/CRC Press, 2022), and he is a co-author of a second book entitled Applied Survey Data Analysis (with Steven Heeringa and Pat Berglund), the second edition of which was published by CRC Press in June 2017. He was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association in 2022.

Among the numerous explanations that have been offered for recent errors in pre-election polls, selection bias due to non-ignorable partisan nonresponse bias, where the probability of responding to a poll is a function of the candidate preference that a poll is attempting to measure (even after conditioning on other relevant covariates used for weighting adjustments), has received relatively less focus in the academic literature. Under this type of selection mechanism, estimates of candidate preferences based on individual or aggregated polls may be subject to significant bias, even after standard weighting adjustments. Until recently, methods for measuring and adjusting for this type of non-ignorable selection bias have been unavailable. Fortunately, recent developments in the methodological literature have provided political researchers with easy-to-use measures of non-ignorable selection bias. In this study, we apply a new measure that has been developed specifically for estimated proportions to this challenging problem. We analyze data from 18 different pre-election polls: nine different telephone polls conducted in eight different states prior to the U.S. Presidential election in 2020, and nine different pre-election polls conducted either online or via telephone in Great Britain prior to the 2015 General Election. We rigorously evaluate the ability of this new measure to detect and adjust for selection bias in estimates of the proportion of likely voters that will vote for a specific candidate, using official outcomes from each election as benchmarks and alternative data sources for estimating key characteristics of the likely voter populations in each context.

The University of Michigan Program in Survey Methodology was established in 2001 seeking to train future generations of survey and data scientists. In 2021, we changed our name to the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science. Our curriculum is concerned with a broad set of data sources including survey data, but also including social media posts, sensor data, and administrative records, as well as analytic methods for working with these new data sources. And we bring to data science a focus on data quality — which is not at the center of traditional data science. The new name speaks to what we teach and work on at the intersection of social research and data. The program offers doctorate and master of science degrees and a certificate through the University of Michigan. The program's home is the Institute for Social Research, the world's largest academically-based social science research institute.

I have been studying skeletal development and homeostasis for over 25 years. I am interested in understanding the molecular and metabolic regulation of skeletal cell types both in the embryo and in adults under normal or pathological conditions. The work has led to new insights into the metabolic features of chondrocytes, osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Studies of Hh, Wnt, Bmp and Notch signaling have uncovered metabolic reprogramming as a common link for developmental signals to regulate the fate and activity of skeletal cells. In a separate line of work, we have sought to elucidate the molecular identify and regulation of mesenchymal stem and progenitor cells in bone. This pursuit has led to the discovery of Gli1+ mesenchymal progenitors as the main source for osteoblasts in growing bones (Shi et al., 2017, Nat Commun., PMC
5725597). More recently, we have demonstrated a critical role for the Gli1+ progenitors in mediating the bone
anabolic role of teriparatide, the main bone anabolic therapy for osteoporosis (Shi et al, 2021, Cell Rep, in
press). The current proposal extends our work on mesenchymal progenitors and builds on the discovery of a
potential adipo-osteoprogenitor in the adult bone marrow. Completion of the proposed study is expected to
uncover the role of the newly discovered progenitors in bone homeostasis, skeletal aging and diabetic
osteopenia.

MPSDS JPSM Seminar Series
October 19, 2022
12:00 - 1:00 pm EDT

Professor Richard Miech is Principal Investigator of Monitoring the Future, which since 1975 has drawn annual, nationally-representative samples of adolescents and tracked trends in adolescent drug use. His work focuses on trends in substance use, with an emphasis on disentangling how these trends vary by age, historical period, and birth cohort membership.

The national estimates of drug use from Monitoring the Future (MTF) serve as a gold standard in the field and are a key source of information for research, U.S. policymakers, and nonprofit organizations that seek to reduce teen drug use. For sample selection MTF uses a multistage, random sampling procedure that consists of (1) selection of a specific geographic areas, (2) selection of one or more high schools in each area, and (3) selection of students within each school. MTF has recently begun a revisit and overhaul of its sampling procedures, which were developed more than three decades ago. In this talk Professor Miech discusses this overhaul, including sampling challenges and issues that have arisen over the years, as well as opportunities to streamline and improve MTF sampling with new technology.

The University of Michigan Program in Survey Methodology was established in 2001 seeking to train future generations of survey and data scientists. In 2021, we changed our name to the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science. Our curriculum is concerned with a broad set of data sources including survey data, but also including social media posts, sensor data, and administrative records, as well as analytic methods for working with these new data sources. And we bring to data science a focus on data quality — which is not at the center of traditional data science. The new name speaks to what we teach and work on at the intersection of social research and data. The program offers doctorate and master of science degrees and a certificate through the University of Michigan. The program's home is the Institute for Social Research, the world's largest academically-based social science research institute.

Modern life depends on digital devices, but our world is analog. Without conversion between analog and digital, there would be no communication, sensing, and computing. Defying expectations, analog to digital converter circuits (ADCs) improved in energy efficiency by more than three orders of magnitude over 20 years. These improvements paved the way for smart prostheses for Parkinson’s disease, high-bandwidth wireless connectivity, digital radar, and accurate speech recognition in noisy environments. Recently analog circuits aided by analog to digital conversion are upending computing. Eighty years after the dawn of digital computing, analog computing may power the explosive growth in artificial intelligence.

MPSDS JPSM Seminar Series - Would electoral research show different findings if we replaced probability face-to-face surveys with other types of surveys? (October 26, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99079 99079-21797546@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 26, 2022 12:00pm

Would electoral research show different findings if we replaced probability face-to-face surveys with nonprobability online surveys?

Hannah Bucher is a PhD student in survey research at the University of Mannheim and a research associate at GESIS - Leibniz-Institute for the Social Sciences at the German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES). Her research focuses on (non)probability online surveys.

As respondents of nonprobability online surveys are self-selected, it is often questioned whether results are comparable with those of probability face-to-face surveys. In this paper, I compare a nonprobability online survey and a probability face-to-face survey by the German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES) in terms of estimation of benchmark statistics; distributions in 80 variables covering measures of political attitudes and behavior; and differences in results of multivariate analyses through a multimodel comparison with individual-level voter turnout as the dependent variable. The probability face-to-face survey performs slightly better in estimating characteristics with external benchmarks. There are substantial differences in numerous variables and their associations in multivariate models. Thus, switching from a probability face-to-face survey to a nonprobability online survey affects empirical findings on individual-level voter turnout and the conclusions drawn therefrom.

Organized By: Office of Research School of Dentistry

My research has been focused on oral mucosal immunity with an emphasis on aberrant inflammatory conditions of
the oral cavity. Over the past decade I have established an independent research program at the NIH aimed at
understanding the molecular and cellular basis of oral immunity in health and in the common inflammatory disease,
periodontitis. In health, the oral immune system maintains a delicate balance with a rich and diverse community of
oral commensals, performing immune surveillance while preventing inflammation. Understanding mechanisms
involved in susceptibility and pathogenesis of periodontitis is not only critical for understanding the disease itself,
but may provide insights into shared mechanisms involved in inflammatory diseases. In periodontitis, the
microbiome is considered a key disease trigger, but it is also well documented that disease occurs and progresses
more rapidly in susceptible individuals. Our studies are focused on host/microbe interactions preserving health and
mediating inflammatory disease in the oral cavity. Ultimately, we aim to define key pathways involved in
susceptibility and progression of aggressive forms of periodontitis with the goal of identifying therapeutic targets.
Our program implements a bench to bedside approach for the study of periodontal immunity and is particularly
focused on the regulation of Th17 immunity in health and periodontitis. Our studies leverage the diverse strengths
of the NIH intramural environment and interrogate mechanisms involved in human oral immunity through the study
of patients with monogenic immune disorders, supplemented by relevant animal models and novel immunologic
techniques for the study of tissue immunity.

Xinyu Zhang
A Multivariate Stopping Rule for Survey Data Collection

Bio
Xinyu Zhang is a PhD candidate studying survey and data science at the University of Michigan. He is primarily interested in responsive survey designs, survey nonresponse, and machine learning techniques. His dissertation topic is using models to inform responsive survey designs.

Abstract
Surveys are experiencing declining response rates. With more and more effort expended to combat these declining response rates, the cost of large-scale surveys has continued to rise. Recent technological developments in survey data collection have allowed the survey designer to make near-real-time intervention decisions. Stopping rules are one of the interventions often considered to improve the efficiency of data collection. Stopping some cases essentially reallocates effort from stopped cases to others, but most previously proposed stopping rules have only considered single estimates. In multipurpose surveys, there may be data quality objectives that must be met for multiple estimates with constraints on costs. We introduce a stopping rule that accounts for the cost and the quality of one or more estimates. The proposed stopping rule is illustrated via simulation using data from the Health and Retirement Study.

MPSDS
The University of Michigan Program in Survey Methodology was established in 2001 seeking to train future generations of survey and data scientists. In 2021, we changed our name to the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science. Our curriculum is concerned with a broad set of data sources including survey data, but also including social media posts, sensor data, and administrative records, as well as analytic methods for working with these new data sources. And we bring to data science a focus on data quality — which is not at the center of traditional data science. The new name speaks to what we teach and work on at the intersection of social research and data. The program offers doctorate and master of science degrees and a certificate through the University of Michigan. The program's home is the Institute for Social Research, the world's largest academically-based social science research institute.

SISRT
The mission of the Summer Institute is to provide rigorous and high quality graduate training in all phases of survey research. The program teaches state-of-the-art practice and theory in the design, implementation, and analysis of surveys. The Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques has presented courses on the sample survey since the summer of 1948, and has offered such courses every summer since. Graduate-level courses through the Program in Survey and Data Science are offered from June 5 through July 28 and available to enroll in as a Summer Scholar.

The Summer Institute uses the sample survey as the basic instrument for the scientific measurement of human activity. It presents sample survey methods in courses designed to meet the educational needs of those specializing in social and behavioral research such as professionals in business, public health, natural resources, law, medicine, nursing, social work, and many other domains of study.

My scientific career is entirely focused on understanding the basic and translational biology of gastrointestinal diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and enteropathogen infections, through immunological, microbiological, cellular and molecular approaches. As such, my research seeks to define the pathogenesis of IBD and find plausible manipulations that can be utilized to treat and/or cure IBD. I have over 20 years ofexperience studying the role of the gut microbiota and host immunity in the pathogenesis of IBD. My research aims to answer a fundamental question: how does the gut microbiota interact with host immunity in the context
of GI health and disease? Specifically, my research team focuses on the mechanism by which certain pathogenic members of the commensal microbiota promote chronic intestinal inflammation that leads to the development of IBD.

Accounting for Non-ignorable Sampling and Nonresponse in Statistical Matching

Danny Pfeffermann retired as the National Statistician and Director General of Israel's CBS. He is Professor Emeritus of Statistics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Professor of Social Statistics at the University of Southampton. His main research areas are: Analytic inference from complex sample surveys; Seasonal adjustment and trend estimation; Small area estimation; Inference under informative sampling and nonresponse and more recently; Mode effects and Proxy surveys.

Professor Pfeffermann published about 80 articles in leading statistical journals and co-edited the two-volume handbook on Sample Surveys. He is Fellow of the American Statistical Association (ASA), the International Statistical Institute (ISI) and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS), and recipient of several international awards.

Abstract
Data for statistical analysis is often available from different samples, with each sample containing measurements on only some of the variables of interest. Statistical matching attempts to generate a fused database containing matched measurements on all the target variables. In this article, we consider the use of statistical matching when the samples are drawn by informative sampling designs and are subject to not missing at random nonresponse. The problem with ignoring the sampling process and nonresponse is that the distribution of the data observed for the responding units can be very different from the distribution holding for the population data, which may distort the inference process and result in a matched database that misrepresents the joint distribution in the population. Our proposed methodology employs the empirical likelihood approach and is shown to perform well in a simulation experiment and when applied to real sample data.

The University of Michigan Program in Survey Methodology was established in 2001 seeking to train future generations of survey and data scientists. In 2021, we changed our name to the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science. Our curriculum is concerned with a broad set of data sources including survey data, but also including social media posts, sensor data, and administrative records, as well as analytic methods for working with these new data sources. And we bring to data science a focus on data quality — which is not at the center of traditional data science. The new name speaks to what we teach and work on at the intersection of social research and data. The program offers doctorate and master of science degrees and a certificate through the University of Michigan. The program's home is the Institute for Social Research, the world's largest academically-based social science research institute.

Sunghee Lee is a Research Associate Professor at Survey Research Center, University of Michigan. Her research focuses on sampling and measurement issues with hard-to-survey population subgroups as well as racial, ethnic, and linguistic minorities.

Chendi Zhao is a Research Assistant and first-year Ph.D. student in the Program in Survey and Data Science

Anqi Liu is a master’s student in MPSDS at the University of Michigan. She works closely with Dr. Sunghee Lee on the Health and Retirement Study sampling.

Abstract
A standard approach for targeting population subgroups in household surveys is to sample general population and then to screen for eligible households. This becomes increasingly costly as the subgroup accounts for a small proportion of the population, which is the case for the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). HRS is a population-based longitudinal study of adults ages 50 and older in the U.S. and maintains its representativeness by adding a new age cohort every 6 years. In 2016, HRS targeted those born between 1960 and 1965 with an additional goal of oversampling racial/ethnic minorities. This group is less than 10% of the population. In order to increase the efficiency of screening, HRS had traditionally used probability proportionate size sampling in its area-probability sample with the age-eligible population size as a measure of size as well as stratification based on the race/ethnicity distribution of area sampling units. For 2016, HRS sampling additionally used stratification at the address level by enhancing the population of addresses in the sample areas with commercial data. This study examines the utility of commercial data for increasing efficiency with a focus on its availability and accuracy by analyzing a dataset that combines sampling frame data, screening data, main survey data as well as external data from the American Community Survey.

Topic: *Parallel Heat-bath Configuration Interaction*

The heat-bath configuration interaction (HBCI) method is a deterministic wave function method that approaches the full CI limit at greatly reduced cost. HBCI consists of two parts: the generation of a variational wave function, followed by a perturbative correction. This work introduces a parallel implementation that is highly scalable and overcomes the memory bottleneck of perturbation theory. The implementation demonstrates 83% parallel efficiency for the perturbative step on 32 nodes.

Abstract: In many real-world applications, decision makers usually need to make better decisions without the precise knowledge of the uncertainty. With limited amount of data, distributionally robust chance-constrained optimization (DRC) becomes a powerful tool for decision making because it alleviates the ambiguity in distribution by protecting the optimal solution against a family of candidate distributions, and thus generalizes better when previously unseen samples arise. However, DRC models are usually very hard to solve in general. Therefore, in this talk, I will seek to answer the following two questions: (1) how can we solve DRCs more efficiently, and (2) when are DRCs convex and/or tractable? For DRCs with a covering structure, which arise frequently in facility location, scheduling, production planning, and vehicle routing, we establish their NP-hardness, propose a two-stage reformulation and derive two families of strong valid inequalities. For general DRCs, we uncover a set of sufficient conditions under which DRCs produce a convex feasible region and design efficient algorithms for solving such convex DRCs. I will demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed solution approaches in multiple real-world applications including the emergency medical facility location problem, optimal power flow problem, and planning of charging stations for battery electric buses.

Bio: Haoming Shen is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan, where he is advised by Prof. Ruiwei Jiang. His research focuses on data-driven optimization under uncertainty with applications to robotics, power grids, and transportation systems, and has been awarded the honorable mention award in 2022 INFORMS Optimization Society Best Student Paper Competition.

Studies in my lab focus on mechanisms regulating limb synovial joint formation, skeletal development and growth plate function and involving signaling proteins, cell surface receptors and co-receptors and transcription factors. Data and insights from these basic research projects are used to decipher the pathogenesis of congenital pediatric musculoskeletal disorders and identify possible therapeutic remedies.
Disorders under active study at present are Hereditary Multiple Exostoses (HME), Achondroplasia and Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP). This basic-translational-clinical strategy is proving fruitful as one drug identified in my lab for the treatment of FOP was recently approved in Canada, with approval in the US expected soon. I am the Director of Pediatric Orthopaedic Research here at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and have served in this position since 2011. I am also the Associate Director of the Penn Center for Musculoskeletal Diseases (PCMD) at U Penn that has over 15 faculty members and maintains 3 Research Cores, serving a large biomedical research community at our two adjacent Institutions and surrounding Universities and Research Institutes.

Topic: *Influence of shear wave velocity heterogeneity on SH-wave reverberation imaging of the mantle transition zone*

We use the top-side shear wave reflection Ssds as a probe for mapping the depths of the mantle transition zone (MTZ) beneath the contiguous US. Using a common-reflection point (CRP) mapping approach, we observe that the MTZ are about 40–50 km deeper beneath the western United States than the central-eastern United States if based on the 1-D Earth wave velocity model (Preliminary Reference Earth Model). However, the east-to-west deepening of the MTZ disappears in the CRP image if we account for 3-D shear wave velocity variations in the mantle according to global tomography. In addition, from spectral-element method synthetics, we find that ray theory overpredicts the traveltime delays of the reverberations. Undulations of the MTZ are underestimated when their wavelengths are smaller than the Fresnel zones of the wave reverberations in the MTZ. Therefore, modelling of layering in the upper mantle must be based on 3-D reference structures and accurate calculations of reverberation traveltimes.

Revolutionary advances in Internet of Things (IoT) technologies have realized the emergence of smart & connected systems, where physical units (or devices) that acquire data are connected through a central cloud with intelligence. Increased connectivity across units provides significant opportunities for improving smart analytics through sharing knowledge across units, but, at the same time, reveals critical challenges. First, skyrocketing data scale is beginning to overwhelm computing, storage, and bandwidth resources in the central cloud. Second, personalized analytics is indispensable as units often operate in different environments or have unique features. Third, real-time data collection in smart & connected systems necessitates adapting a smart analytics model to the new data collected.

In this talk, I will present two approaches that address the challenges above, based on a collaborative strategy that distributes learning efforts to the units at the edge while keeping their data stored locally. First, I will discuss a method where physical units collaboratively estimate a multi-output Gaussian process model by exploiting the natural hierarchy of smart & connected systems. Next, I will discuss a two-step approach that (i) finds a well-generalized solution lying in flat minima on the loss surface through distributed computation across units and then (ii) personalizes the learned model to new units without losing old knowledge. Real-world applications for the prediction of lithium-ion battery degradation, condition monitoring signals of turbofan engines, and missing climate data highlight the advantageous features of the proposed models. The talk concludes with some interesting future directions.

Human-Centered Design to Improve Inclusiveness of CAVs for Older Adults (December 9, 2022 10:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/101398 101398-21801301@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 9, 2022 10:30am
Location: Transportation Research Institute
Organized By: Center for Connected and Automated Transportation

The University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI), in a project sponsored by the Center for Connected and Automated Transportation (CCAT), is helping engineering students explore issues of older adult accessibility, acceptability, and other aspects of inclusion related to CAVs through classroom discussions and implementation of a class project.

In this poster session, project researchers and Michigan Engineering students will present findings from the project on how human-centered design principles can be used to address the needs and preferences of older adults in the design of CAVs. Hors d'oeuvres from The Produce Station will be served. Space is limited so secure your spot today.

CAVs hold promise for reducing traffic crashes and maintaining mobility among older adults. However, challenges remain in ensuring that CAVs are accessible, acceptable, and otherwise inclusive for older adults. Using a framework of experiential learning (exploring, engaging, reflecting, and communicating), students in a human-centered design course taught by Dr. Feng Zhou engaged in a classroom project to identify potential solutions for making CAVs more responsive to older adult needs and preferences. Students and researchers from the larger project will share their findings with CCAT members, UMTRI and other University faculty, staff, students, and industry representatives.

Nowadays, the sheer amount of data collected from edge devices such as mobile phones and self-driving vehicles is beginning to overwhelm traditional centralized data analytics regimes where data from the edge is continuously uploaded to a central server to be processed. Excessive communication traffic from data upload, significant central server storage needs, energy expenditures from centralized learning of big data models, and privacy concerns from sharing raw data are becoming critical challenges in centralized systems. Fortunately, a critical change is happening in today’s Internet of Things (IoT). The processing and computational power of edge devices is becoming increasingly powerful. AI chips are rapidly infiltrating the global market. As such, we now have the opportunity to process more of our data where it is created - i.e., at the edge. This decentralized data analytics paradigm is often coined as federated data analytics (FDA). FDA resolves many of the aforementioned drawbacks. By exploiting edge computations, one can parallelize inference, reduce storage and communication costs, achieve faster alerts and decisions, and protect privacy, amongst many others. Meanwhile, FDA, as an emerging technology, poses significant intellectual challenges. To name a few: (1) most FDA work focuses on deep neural networks and empirical risk minimization (ERM). However, statistical questions such as variable selection, uncertainty quantification, hypothesis testing, and incorporating domain expert knowledge remain unanswered in FDA; (2) edge devices often have local datasets that differ in both size and distribution. Most FDA papers learn a single global model and fail to provide reasonable predictions when heterogeneity exists; (3) IoT systems can raise bias and fairness concerns. Devices with insufficient amounts of data, limited bandwidth, or unreliable internet connection are not favored by conventional training algorithms.
In this talk, I will present my two research papers that address the aforementioned challenges in FDA. First, I will present the federated Gaussian process that provides solutions that go beyond ERM and to correlated settings, which is very common in engineering situations. Interestingly, this model can naturally handle statistical heterogeneity and provide a personalized solution to each edge device. Second, I will present a framework – GIFAIR-FL that imposes group and individual fairness to the FDA setting. The talk concludes with some interesting future directions and my recent work on the collaborative process parameter design and its application in 3D printing
