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/

Not for academic credit.

Instructor: Jinseok Kim

All 2022 courses will be held in an alternative format.

Talk Title: Deep learning for sequence design with a few data points

Abstract:
Deep learning has begun a renaissance in chemistry and materials. We can devise and fit models to predict molecular properties in a few hours and deploy them in a web browser. We can create novel generative models that were previously PhD theses in an afternoon. In my group, we’re exploring deep learning in peptides. We are focused on two major problems: interpretability and data scarcity. Now that we can make deep learning models to predict any molecular property ad naseum, what can we learn? I will discuss our recent efforts on interpreting deep learning models through symbolic regression and counterfactuals. Data scarcity is a common problem in biochemistry: how can we learn new properties without significant expense of experiments? One method is in judicious choice of experiments, which can be done with active learning. Another approach is self-supervised learning and constraining symmetries, which both try to exploit structure in data. I will cover recent progress in these areas.

npore is a read realigner which recalculates each read's fine-grained alignment in order to more accurately align ''n-polymers'' such as homopolymers (n=1) and tandem repeats (2 ≤ n ≤ 6). In other words, given an input BAM, it adjusts each read's CIGAR string to more accurately model the most likely sequencing errors and actual variants. Traditional affine gap penalties are context-agnostic, and do not model the higher likelihood of INDELs in low-complexity regions (particularly n-polymers), leading to poor or inconsistent alignments. We find that npore improves pileup concordance across reads and results in slightly better variant calling performance.

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.

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/

Abstract:
The intersect between the life sciences (cells, tissues, organs) and engineered materials (polymers, biomacromolecules, semiconductors) is crucial for a wide range of medical and biotechnological applications. Hence, the precise control of biotic/abiotic interfaces has been one of the main obstacles of past decades. The Lahann Lab designs polymers for a range of different medical applications. In particular, we have developed a class of protein nanoparticles for targeting of glioblastoma. In addition, I will summarize our efforts related to sheet-like 3D organoid systems and will address recent advances with morphologically designed interfaces.

Research Interests:
Designer surfaces, advanced polymers, biomimetic materials, microfluidic devices, engineered microenvironments, nano-scale self-assembly.

Joerg Lahann’s research is broadly related to surface engineering with strong ties to biomedical engineering and nanotechnology. His research on reversibly switching surfaces was featured in an article in Science (J. Lahann, et al., A Reversibly Switching Surface, January 17, 2003, 299, 371-374.) These “smart surfaces” can reversibly switch properties in response to an external stimulus. To demonstrate these findings, a surface design was developed that can be changed from water-attracting to water-repelling with the application of a weak electric field. Designed as a switch, single-layered molecular-level machines are aligned on a surface using self-assembly and then are flipped between defined microscopic states. This type of surface design may offer a new paradigm for interfacial engineering as it amplifies reversible conformational transitions at a molecular level to macroscopic changes in surface properties without altering the chemical identity of the surface.

Joerg has also developed a novel class of polymers with potential for biomimetic and spatially directed surface engineering. This “reactive coating” technology uses chemical vapor deposition (CVD) polymerization to deposit a wide range of chemical signatures on various substrate materials. Its simplicity in providing chemically reactive groups and its applicability to three-dimensional geometries (e.g., for microfluidics) enables the exact tailoring of surface properties and the preparation of biologically relevant microenvironments. Reactive coatings are compatible with soft lithographic processes, allowing for patterning of proteins, DNA, cytokines, and mammalian cells.

*ABOUT THE EVENT*

Join Dr. Ravi Pendse, vice president for information technology and chief information officer at U-M, for a conversation with Toomas Hendrik Ilves, the president of Estonia from 2006-16. The conversation will cover the intersection of technology and government, cybersecurity, and more — Ilves was in office when Estonia was a victim of a massive cyber-attack, believed to have originated in Russia, in 2007.

President Ilves is renowned for making Estonia one of the most digitally advanced nations through innovative policies that invested heavily in the future. He used his office to further the country’s leadership in digital governance as well as in cyber security. His interest in computers stems from an early age — he learned to program at the age of 13 — and he has been promoting Estonia's IT-development since the country restored its independence. He was born to Estonian refugees and raised in the United States, and holds a BA from Columbia and an MA from the University of Pennsylvania.

Students, staff, faculty, and community members are invited to submit questions in advance, during the registration process, or live in the session.

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/

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.

Abstract:

Accurately predicting the onset of disease is a major challenge in clinical medicine because the genesis of diseases is generally a complex and dynamic process. Wearable sensor technologies provide an unprecedented opportunity to collect physiological data at orders of magnitude higher high time-resolution than conventional clinical practice. This provides unprecedented opportunities for investigating the dynamics of disease processes and may usher in a new era of real-time, personalized medicine. We have proposed the potential of real-time, continuously measured physiological data as a non-invasive, “digital biomarker” approach for detecting the earliest stages in transition to a disease state. In this talk, I will describe an example of our interdisciplinary team’s work on this topic that uses the early detection and possible prediction of febrile (i.e., fever-associated) adverse events in cancer events as an important application.

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.

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.

Abstract:

Our current understanding of how genes are regulated is akin to solving a jigsaw puzzle. Many factors governing gene expression have been identified, and researchers have collected a wide variety of related datasets. However, how these "parts" are pieced together to function as a whole remains unclear. In this talk, I will discuss our research to develop and apply state-of-the-art machine learning methods to genomics datasets to attempt to put together the pieces from the data. I will cover our work using deep learning architecture that captures the data's underlying structure to integrate datasets and connect them to gene expression via the prediction task. We also interpret the prediction results and tie them back to contributing factors to develop potential hypotheses related to gene regulation. I will then move from bulk data to the single-cell data domain and discuss methods to perform unsupervised integration of different types of single-cell experiments. This talk aims to highlight our research direction's potential to reveal the important gene regulatory mechanisms in characterizing cell types and diseases from the collected data.

The current COVID-19 pandemic and the previous SARS/MERS outbreaks of 2003 and 2012 have resulted in a series of major global public health crises. We must integrate the large and exponentially growing amount of heterogeneous coronavirus data to better understand coronaviruses and associated disease mechanisms, in the interest of developing effective and safe vaccines and drugs. Ontologies play an important role in standard-based knowledge and data representation, integration, sharing, and analysis. Accordingly, we initiated the development of the community-based Coronavirus Infectious Disease Ontology (CIDO) in early 2020.

ITS Information Assurance's Insecure Remote Access Protocol (IRAP) project is an effort to further improve the security posture of the university by focusing on the discovery and remediation of insecure protocols that are exposed to the Internet. The goal of the IRAP project is to ensure individuals maintain appropriate remote access to systems, while protecting critical U-M resources and sensitive data from threat actors. This will be accomplished by blocking specific insecure protocols at the network border with the Internet. In this session we will walk through the steps from planning to blocking, including what prompted this effort, data collection and analysis methodology, and outreach to the U-M community.

Abstract:
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) successfully identified more than a hundred genomic regions that contribute to schizophrenia risk. However, extracting biological mechanisms from GWAS is a challenge, because the majority of common risk variants reside in noncoding regions of the genome. In this talk, I will outline how high-resolution 3D maps of chromatin contacts in the human brain permit large-scale annotation of non-coding variants. In particular, I will introduce a novel platform that my lab has developed, Hi-C-coupled MAGMA (H-MAGMA), that annotates GWAS by incorporating chromatin interaction profiles from human brain tissue. While H-MAGMA identified neurobiologically relevant target genes for psychiatric disorders, application of H-MAGMA to schizophrenia GWAS identified thousands of genes to be associated with schizophrenia, necessitating the need for refining variants. To this end, we performed a massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) on schizophrenia risk variants, from which we detected 440 variants with allelic regulatory activity. Characterization of these functional regulatory variants provided previously unknown regulatory principles of schizophrenia.

Explainability Is Not the Solution to Structural Challenges to AI in Medicine

Explainability is often treated as a necessary condition for ethical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in Medicine. In this brief talk I survey some of the structural challenges facing the development and deployment of effective AI systems in health care to illustrate some of the limitations to explainability in addressing these challenges. This talk builds on prior work (London 2019, 2022) to illustrate how ambitions for AI in health care likely require significant changes to key aspects of health systems.

On the Inextricability of Explainability from Ethics: Explainable AI does not Ethical AI Make

Explainability is embedded into a plethora of legal, professional, and regulatory guidelines as it is often presumed that an ethical use of AI will require explainable algorithms. There is considerable controversy, however, as to whether post hoc explanations are computationally reliable, their value for decision-making, and the relational implications of their use in shared decision-making. This talk will explore the literature across these domains and argue that while post hoc explainability may be a reasonable technical goal, it should not be offered status as a moral standard by which AI use is judged to be ‘ethical.’

Compositional data reside in a simplex that does not admit the standard Euclidean geometry. Most existing methods rely on transformations that are inadequate or even inappropriate in modeling data with excessive zeros and taxonomic structure. In this talk, I will introduce novel amalgamation-based methods for microbiome compositional data analysis. In particular, we first develop a novel relative-shift regression framework that directly uses compositions as predictors. The new framework provides a paradigm shift for compositional regression and offers a superior biological interpretation. New equi-sparsity and taxonomy-guided regularization methods and an efficient smoothing proximal gradient algorithm are developed to facilitate feature aggregation and dimension reduction in regression. As a result, the framework can automatically identify clinically relevant microbes even if they are important at different taxonomic levels. We also develop a new dimension reduction paradigm for microbiome compositional data based on the amalgamation operation. Our approach aims to aggregate the compositions to a smaller number of principal compositions, guided by the available taxonomic structure, by minimizing a properly measured loss of information. We further demonstrate the efficacy of the new methods on simulations and several real microbiome studies.

Abstract:
The ExaSMR project is developing methods and software for coupled Monte Carlo neutron transport and computational fluid dynamics simulations for analysis of nuclear reactors. A part of the larger DOE Exascale Computing Project, ExaSMR is preparing to perform simulations on the nation’s two first exascale computing platforms: the Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Aurora machine at Argonne National Laboratory. This talk will provide a brief overview of the Exascale Computing Project, followed by a deep dive into several research topics being investigated by the ExaSMR team. Challenges associated with maximizing the computational performance of both continuous-energy Monte Carlo neutron transport and CFD solvers on GPU-based computing platforms will be addressed, as well as a discussion of strategies for efficiently integrating isotopic depletion into Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, a perspective will be provided on the value of collaboration in computational science applications. Multiple examples will be provided where open engagement beyond typical research teams has resulted in advancements both to individual simulation codes and to the community as a whole.

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.

Abstract:

Graph representation learning leverages knowledge, geometry, and structure to develop powerful machine learning methods. First, I will introduce Shepherd, a graph neural network for personalized diagnosis of patients with rare genetic diseases. Diagnostic delay is pervasive in patients with rare genetic conditions. It can lead to numerous problems, including redundant testing and unnecessary procedures, delays in obtaining disease-appropriate management and therapies, and even irreversible disease progression. Shepherd uses knowledge-guided geometric deep learning to gather information from different parts of a knowledge graph and logically connect a patient's clinical-genomic information to the region in the knowledge graph relevant to diagnosis. Evaluation of patients from the Undiagnosed Diseases Network shows that Shepherd accurately identifies causal disease genes, finds other patients with the same causal gene and disease, and provides interpretable characterizations of novel diseases. Second, I will describe applications of graph neural networks in drug discovery. These are available through Therapeutics Data Commons (https://tdcommons.ai), an initiative to access and evaluate AI capability across therapeutic modalities and stages of drug discovery. The Commons supports the development of machine learning methods, with a strong bent towards developing the foundations for which methods are most suitable for drug discovery and why.

Neural Architecture Exhibition & Symposium (November 2, 2022 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99553 99553-21798328@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 2, 2022 5:00pm
Location: Art and Architecture Building
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

The Neural Architecture Symposium at Taubman College presents itself as an opportunity to survey the emerging field of Architecture and Artificial Intelligence, and to reflect on the implications of a world increasingly entangled in questions of the agency, culture, and ethics of AI. This rapidly developing field of architectural inquiry is ripe for a rigorous interrogation. Almost daily, new practices emerge that focus on the incredible opportunities that an expanded human mind through AI offer for the discipline of architecture. At the same time, AI is observed with suspicion in regards to potentially displacing entire practices out of the field. The symposium oscillates between those poles of tension, in order to inform the public audience, and the discipline, about the status quo and the vision of this paradigm-changing new ecology of design.

AI is quite a generalist term, used to describe several varying approaches. In Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence is defined as the study of Intelligent Agents, which includes any device that perceives its environment and that takes actions to maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals. In general, the term Artificial Intelligence is applied when a machine mimics cognitive functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as learning and problem-solving. The prevailing trajectory of this line of inquiry is preoccupated with aspects of optimization, such as ideas of optimizing floorplans, material consumption, and time schedules of construction sites – which cover the tamed problems of disciplinary considerations. At the same time, it interrogates the wicked problem in the production of architecture – creativity, intuition, and sensibility. This opens ontological questions about the nature of creativity, its role in the inception of architectural projects, and the methods to evaluate this. This symposium and exhibition would be among the first of its kind, framing this problem in this particular way. Can an AI create a novel sensibility (?) -and if so: can we as humans perceive and understand it? This is one of a set of questions that the event is set out to examine and explicate through the format of the symposium. This symposium serves as a launch pad for the examination of an emergent field of technology that is currently profoundly changing multiple levels of society, economy and culture demonstrated through the use in the discipline of architecture.

The topic is presented through a series of lenses: design projects, speculations, theoretical considerations, and scientific insight. This combination allows for an insightful, but entertaining symposium, about a very pressing affair in architecture and society at large. The stunning visual quality of the projects and proposed architecture studios in combination with the voice of science and theory allow for a deep interrogation of current development in architecture. This symposium and exhibition will provide insights into posthuman design methodologies operating in a world shifting away from an anthropocentric universe. We consider that, in the foreseen future, humans will continue using the machine as their tool, not the other way around.

The first genuinely 21st-century Architecture design method

Taubman College is perceived as a pioneer within this novel area of inquiry in the architecture discipline – an area that will affect every aspect of the discipline. Not only the theory but also the practice, the construction, and the use of architecture. It is possibly the first genuinely 21st-century Architecture development, as it will change the way architecture is conceived, designed, and built on a massive scale. Posing questions about authorship, the nature of ingenuity, of imagination, and creativity the proposition discusses a posthuman world operating within this frame of considerations.

Demystifying Artificial Intelligence

A particular goal of this Symposium is to demystify Artificial Intelligence for the population of the architecture community as much as for the public at large. The term AI evokes dark pictures of dominance, control, and surveillance triggered through movie productions such as Terminator, The Matrix, and Ex Machina. Nothing could be farther away from the truth. The bigger danger these days are data abuse and bias in datasets. Both of which form part of a conversation within the program of the Symposium. For one the ethical questions of operating AI’s within the architecture discipline. Questions that are discussed in interdisciplinary panels consisting of architects, computer scientists,s and roboticists.

In general, the term Artificial Intelligence is applied when a machine mimics cognitive functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as learning and problem-solving. The prevailing trajectory of this line of inquiry is preoccupated with aspects of optimization, such as ideas of optimizing floorplans, material consumption, and time schedules of construction sites – which cover the tamed problems of disciplinary considerations. At the same time, it interrogates the wicked problem in the production of architecture – creativity, intuition, and sensibility. This opens ontological questions about the nature of creativity, its role in the inception of architectural projects, and the methods to evaluate this. This symposium and exhibition would be among the first of its kind, framing this problem in this particular way. Can an AI create a novel sensibility (?) -and if so: can we as humans perceive and understand it? This is one of a set of questions that the event is set out to examine and explicate through the format of the symposium. This symposium serves as a launch pad for the examination of an emergent field of technology that is currently profoundly changing multiple levels of society, economy and culture demonstrated through the use in the discipline of architecture.

The topic is presented through a series of lenses: design projects, speculations, theoretical considerations, and scientific insight. This combination allows for an insightful, but entertaining symposium, about a very pressing affair in architecture and society at large. The stunning visual quality of the projects and proposed architecture studios in combination with the voice of science and theory allow for a deep interrogation of current development in architecture. This symposium and exhibition will provide insights into posthuman design methodologies operating in a world shifting away from an anthropocentric universe. We consider that, in the foreseen future, humans will continue using the machine as their tool, not the other way around.

The first genuinely 21st-century Architecture design method

Taubman College is perceived as a pioneer within this novel area of inquiry in the architecture discipline – an area that will affect every aspect of the discipline. Not only the theory but also the practice, the construction, and the use of architecture. It is possibly the first genuinely 21st-century Architecture development, as it will change the way architecture is conceived, designed, and built on a massive scale. Posing questions about authorship, the nature of ingenuity, of imagination, and creativity the proposition discusses a posthuman world operating within this frame of considerations.

Demystifying Artificial Intelligence

A particular goal of this Symposium is to demystify Artificial Intelligence for the population of the architecture community as much as for the public at large. The term AI evokes dark pictures of dominance, control, and surveillance triggered through movie productions such as Terminator, The Matrix, and Ex Machina. Nothing could be farther away from the truth. The bigger danger these days are data abuse and bias in datasets. Both of which form part of a conversation within the program of the Symposium. For one the ethical questions of operating AI’s within the architecture discipline. Questions that are discussed in interdisciplinary panels consisting of architects, computer scientists,s and roboticists.

The Neural Architecture Symposium at Taubman College presents itself as an opportunity to survey the emerging field of Architecture and Artificial Intelligence, and to reflect on the implications of a world increasingly entangled in questions of the agency, culture, and ethics of AI. This rapidly developing field of architectural inquiry is ripe for a rigorous interrogation. Almost daily, new practices emerge that focus on the incredible opportunities that an expanded human mind through AI offer for the discipline of architecture. At the same time, AI is observed with suspicion in regards to potentially displacing entire practices out of the field. The symposium oscillates between those poles of tension, in order to inform the public audience, and the discipline, about the status quo and the vision of this paradigm-changing new ecology of design.

Single-cell multi-omic datasets, in which multiple molecular modalities are profiled within the same cell, provide a unique opportunity to discover the temporal relationship between epigenome and transcriptome. To realize this potential, we developed MultiVelo, a differential equation model of gene expression that extends the RNA velocity framework to incorporate epigenomic data. MultiVelo uses a probabilistic latent variable model to estimate the switch time and rate parameters of chromatin accessibility and gene expression from single-cell data, providing a quantitative summary of the temporal relationship between epigenomic and transcriptomic changes. Incorporating chromatin accessibility data significantly improves the accuracy of cell fate prediction compared to velocity estimates from RNA only. Fitting MultiVelo on single-cell multi-omic datasets from brain, skin, and blood cells reveals two distinct classes of genes distinguished by whether chromatin closes before or after transcription ceases. Our model also identifies four types of cell states--two states in which epigenome and transcriptome are coupled and two distinct decoupled states. The parameters inferred by MultiVelo quantify the length of time for which genes occupy each of the four states, ranking genes by the degree of coupling between transcriptome and epigenome. Finally, we identify time lags between transcription factor expression and binding site accessibility and between disease-associated SNP accessibility and expression of the linked genes. We provide an open-source Python implementation of MultiVelo on PyPI and GitHub.

STS Speaker. Compass to Sentinel: The Automation of Self-tracking Technology (November 7, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/98226 98226-21795744@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 7, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Science, Technology & Society

This talk draws on ethnographic fieldwork to argue that a shift is underway in the logic of behavioral guidance informing the design and use of so-called self-tracking technology, or apps, and wearable devices that sense, record, and analyze users’ data. While first-wave self-tracking technologies were designed to serve as digital compasses that could provide attentive selves with information to help them navigate the choice-filled seas of modern life, newer technologies are designed to serve as sentinels that can stand watch for distracted and overwhelmed selves, providing just-in-time micronudges to keep them on track.

His papers have been published in the American Economic Review, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Journal of Econometrics, and Journal of Business and Economic Statistics.

Title: Optimality of Matched-Pair Designs in Randomized Controlled Trials

Abstract: In randomized controlled trials (RCTs), treatment is often assigned by stratified randomization. I show that among all stratified randomization schemes which treat all units with probability one half, a certain matched-pair design achieves the maximum statistical precision for estimating the average treatment effect (ATE). In an important special case, the optimal design pairs units according to the baseline outcome. In a simulation study based on datasets from 10 RCTs, this design lowers the standard error for the estimator of the ATE by 10% on average, and by up to 34%, relative to the original designs.

Dr. Scott Kelley is Assistant Professor in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Michigan Medical School.

UM Family Medicine built a Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) curriculum, beginning in earnest in 2021. All family medicine residents received POCUS didactics, and three PGY-3 residents participated in an intensive year-long POCUS track. A retrospective study was performed reviewing scans logged during the inaugural track year from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 in three ambulatory family medicine clinics.

A total of 577 POCUS scans were performed on 541 patients in three outpatient family medicine clinics over 12 months. The most common scans were soft tissue (26.5%), musculoskeletal (24.4%), obstetric (9.7%), cardiac (7.6%), and abdominal aortic aneurysm screen (6.6%). The three POCUS track residents scanned 225 patients (42.1% of encounters). Non-track residents (36 residents) scanned 64 patients (11.9%).

In this talk, we will discuss the initiative.

Bio: Dr. Scott Kelley earned his medical degree from the University of Michigan Medical School in 2004. He then completed three out of four years in Emergency Medicine Residency at U-M, before finding his calling in Family Medicine. He completed Family Medicine Residency training at the University of Michigan in 2009, and has been working at U-M's Briarwood Family Medicine clinic since. He also sees patients in the Family Medicine Care on Demand Clinic and Briarwood Family Medicine.

His research focus is clinical simulation and medical student and resident education. His clinical interests include family medicine, urgent care, and point-of-care ultrasound.

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.

Within healthcare, imaging has transformed how we look at and understand diseases of the heart. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT) and echocardiography have all provided unique perspectives on the anatomy and function of the heart; yet often the wealth of information these images provide is often ignored. New techniques in image processing and machine learning have opened unique avenues for automating comprehensive analyses of the heart and empowered researchers to dig deeper into the data. Adding biomechanical modeling and simulation, these advances can be further propelled into personalized modeling -- providing tools for understanding disease and predicting treatment response. In this talk we review the tools of imaging, analysis and machine learning, and biomechanical modeling and how they are transforming how we understand the heart.

This presentation will be held in 2036 Palmer Commons. There will also be a remote viewing option via Zoom.

THE 2022 RALPH J. GERSON DISTINGUISHED LECTURER EXPLORES HOW REFORMING SMALL-BUSINESS PROCESSES IN AFRICA WILL BOOST THE CONTINENT’S ECONOMY

Magatte Wade, entrepreneur, author and advocate for African dignity and prosperity through business growth, will deliver the Ralph J. Gerson Distinguished Lecture at 7 p.m. Nov. 10. The discussion will be broadcast via Zoom. (Register here to join the event).

Wade’s talk, “The Heart of the Cheetah: Entrepreneurship and Prosperity in Africa,” will focus on the power of business growth and importance of business-friendly infrastructure, which she sees as critical to innovation and economic flourishing on the continent. As an entrepreneur from Senegal, Wade has decried a lack of business infrastructure and subsequent unemployment as key reasons why many Africans risk their lives to migrate to other countries.

The Ralph J. Gerson Distinguished Lecture gathers the community around the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan to celebrate and promote ways businesses can positively impact social challenges. Its transformative speakers bring unique perspectives on economic development, new considerations around innovative business models and informed evaluations of emerging markets.

Wade joins the series’ two past lecturers — Nobel Prize-winning Economist Sir Angus Deaton and Kevin Lobo, Chairman and CEO of Stryker Corp. — in her work highlighting economic acceleration through business tools.

“Magatte Wade is an outspoken advocate for the benefits that profitable businesses bring to an economy,” said WDI President Paul Clyde. “She is a successful entrepreneur who understands the value and importance of business in the development of an economy. Considering WDI’s mission of equipping economic decision makers in emerging countries with the tools of commercial success, it’s hard to think of a stronger advocate with a more relevant background than Wade.”

Wade was named one of Forbes’ “20 Youngest Power Women in Africa,” a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum at Davos, and a “Leading Woman in Wellness” award-winner with the Global Wellness Summit. She’s the Director of the Atlas Network’s Center for Africa Prosperity, a member of the Board of Directors of Conscious Capitalism Inc., and a member of the Advisory Board of the Whole Planet Foundation with Whole Foods Market.

As a TED Global Africa Fellow, her TED Talk, titled “Why it’s so hard to start a business in Africa — and how to change it,” has nearly 650,000 views. In her talk, Wade draws a clear and definitive thread between poverty reduction and business creation — asserting that the solution to poverty is making it easier for small businesses to start, run and thrive. In it, she describes how she came to this conclusion: “I have this attitude in life. Something is wrong, find a way to fix it. That’s why I start the businesses that I start, usually consumer brands, that have embedded in them the very best of my African culture.”

Wade describes what it’s like for her to run these businesses in Senegal, navigating the complicated and problematic laws and processes. “It’s like swimming through molasses,” she said. Knowing the impact these stifling rules have on business growth, Wade advocates for easing these restrictions and creating systems that promote private economic development. Not only does changing these laws make a major difference in business success, she explained, but shining a light on them can shift the outlook Africans have about their own capabilities and potential.

Her new book, “The Heart of the Cheetah,” will be released soon.

Register to watch Wade’s speech live on Zoom at 7 p.m. Nov. 10.

Abstract: Graph embedding, or graph representation learning, emerged as an effective, unifying framework to perform numerous machine learning tasks with network data. In this talk, I will discuss how and why one of the most basic graph embedding techniques, node2vec (or word2vec with random walks), works so well, in connection with the theory of random walks and community detection in network science.

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.

Effect of Branching Middle Responses in Dichotomous Polar Scales in Web Surveys

In telephone surveys, 11 to 49% of respondents would select a middle alternative when it is offered although they would not volunteer it if it were not mentioned in dichotomous bipolar questions. Furthermore, offering a middle option led to differences in response effects that are related to respondent characteristics, including social desirability bias and satisficing effects. While a question form that branches middle responses has been shown to have a lower validity compared to offered form in telephone surveys, potentially, branched question form can motivate respondents to spend extra time and effort in giving a response in the absence of an interviewer. Therefore, differences in validity and reliability of responses to branched question form compared to offered form is a research interest in general population web surveys. This study tests the validity and the reliability to branched question form in a general population survey using a randomized experiment. The branched question form did not change validity and reliability of responses and reduced the satisficing behavior based on the proxies compared to the offered form.

Z. Tuba Suzer Gurtekin is an Assistant Research Scientist within the Institute for Social Research (ISR) at the University of Michigan. She is the scientific leader of the Surveys of Consumers, which conducts monthly national surveys of American households to understand consumer expectations and how those expectations impact their spending and saving behavior. Her research experience has included development of alternative sample, methodology and questionnaire designs, data collection and analysis methods for a general population in parallel survey modes. In addition to her work through the Surveys of Consumers, she also currently serves on the Board of Associate Editors of CDC’s Preventing Chronic Disease Journal. 608.82She teaches survey sampling and survey methodology in University of Michigan’s Clinical Research Design and Statistical Analysis Program (OJOC CRDSA).

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.

June 5 – July 28, 2023

The Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques is a teaching program of the Survey Research Center at the Institute for Social Research. It is located on the central campus of the University of Michigan at 426 Thompson Street in Ann Arbor. The summer courses are select offerings from the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science, and can be used to pursue a doctorate, master of science and a certificate in survey methodology.

All 2023 courses will be offered in an alternative remote format with the exception of the Sampling Program for Survey Statisticians. Payment of Summer Scholar and workshop fees must be made in full before you will be officially registered for class. Fees are based on total “course hours” (assigned to each course as shown in the section on description of courses and on the 2023 course schedule) although no formal academic credit is actually earned.

Our courses this summer will be offered primarily by two-way, live video through a platform that supports lectures and group work. In some cases, courses are offered in a flipped format in which lectures are video recorded for students to watch on-demand and then meet with their instructor by two-way live video to discuss the lectures, readings, and problem sets. All classes are scheduled in Eastern Standard Time Zone.

We have been offering courses in remote formats for many years through our connection with the graduate programs at the Universities of Michigan and Maryland which share all courses by live classroom-to-classroom video. In the COVID era, our transition to entirely remote instruction has been straightforward and brought the students’ experience very close to that of a place-based classroom.

We understand that some participants were looking forward to visiting Ann Arbor, networking and participating in social activities. As an alternative, we are planning several virtual social and networking activities in which participants will meet informally (by live video) with their instructors and just with each other in small groups to discuss various topics, some related to courses and some not. This will give participants a chance get to know each other as well as instructors outside the “classroom.” We’re excited to work with you as we learn how to best connect with each other remotely.

"A Double-Edged Sword”: Genetic Data Sharing and Implications for the Learning Health System

Thursday, December 1, 2022

12:00 pm - 1:30 pm ET

Great Lakes Room, Palmer Commons, 4th floor

100 Washtenaw Ave., Ann Arbor, MI

University of Michigan Medical School

In contrast to the laborious and expensive process of generating genetic datasets de novo, academic genetic researchers are increasingly using large and inexpensive “secondary” research datasets held by government, consortia, and industry for their work. Choosing between different kinds of data providers is about more than just convenience, however, it can also have important implications for the kind of science advanced and to which communities it will generalize. This talk will explore the factors driving researchers to select certain datasets for their work as well as their experiences sharing to, as well as using, shared data resources. As researchers wait for the new National Institutes of Health’s “Policy for Data Management and Sharing” to go into effect in January 2023, this talk will explore who ultimately carries the burden of increasing data sharing requirements

Traces (January 11, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/101484 101484-21801399@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 11, 2023 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Traces explores the relationship between the past and the present with a focus on the process of transformation as the connecting thread. The work consists of a series of collages and a collection of Polaroids that are accompanied by animations and video clips seen solely through the use of an augmented reality application (Virtual Mutations).

The scenarios presented in the static images act as literal stages for animated narratives. What once was a captured single moment echoes into motion, creating an additional layer as to what will come thereafter. A dialogue between the past and the present is established and the app itself acts as a mediator between these tenses, allowing the observer to have a glimpse of the afterthought, that range from digital collages to Polaroid instant film.

About the Artist
Camila Magrane is a multimedia artist originally from Caracas, Venezuela. Having a father from the U.S. and a mother from Venezuela, she grew up alternating between both countries. Being fully exposed to two different cultures gave her a greater understanding of what it means to have various perspectives. After graduating from film school in Caracas, she moved to San Francisco where she freelanced as an editor and camera operator. After discovering a passion for video games and interactive media, Magrane obtained a BS in computer science with a concentration in game development. This eventually led her to working in the game industry as a cinematic artist.

Magrane has been pursuing a professional career as a multimedia artist since 2017, working within a variety of mediums, from photography and collage to animation and virtual/augmented reality (AR). She has been most noted for the creation of her AR image-based work where she’s established a postmodern aesthetic by combining traditional darkroom techniques with the use of digital tools.

Prior to her career in the arts, Magrane worked as a community organizer and teacher, creating and managing a curriculum for teaching 3rd-6th graders coding skills in public schools in Caracas, Venezuela. She continues to be active in community work by giving talks and workshops revolving around the topics of art, technology, and the use of AR as a creative medium.

Camila Magrane has exhibited work internationally in numerous exhibitions, event spaces, fairs, and festivals. Selected exhibitions & clients include The Academy of Sciences, The Exploratorium, Themes+Projects Gallery, Minnesota Street Project, MUKEK, Gray Area, Sothebys, and Adobe. Selected press inquiries include Forbes, Adobe Blog, Refinery29, Lenscratch, Las Vegas Weekly, Las Vegas Review Journal, and Open Studios Guide.

Traces explores the relationship between the past and the present with a focus on the process of transformation as the connecting thread. The work consists of a series of collages and a collection of Polaroids that are accompanied by animations and video clips seen solely through the use of an augmented reality application (Virtual Mutations).

The scenarios presented in the static images act as literal stages for animated narratives. What once was a captured single moment echoes into motion, creating an additional layer as to what will come thereafter. A dialogue between the past and the present is established and the app itself acts as a mediator between these tenses, allowing the observer to have a glimpse of the afterthought, that range from digital collages to Polaroid instant film.

About the Artist
Camila Magrane is a multimedia artist originally from Caracas, Venezuela. Having a father from the U.S. and a mother from Venezuela, she grew up alternating between both countries. Being fully exposed to two different cultures gave her a greater understanding of what it means to have various perspectives. After graduating from film school in Caracas, she moved to San Francisco where she freelanced as an editor and camera operator. After discovering a passion for video games and interactive media, Magrane obtained a BS in computer science with a concentration in game development. This eventually led her to working in the game industry as a cinematic artist.

Magrane has been pursuing a professional career as a multimedia artist since 2017, working within a variety of mediums, from photography and collage to animation and virtual/augmented reality (AR). She has been most noted for the creation of her AR image-based work where she’s established a postmodern aesthetic by combining traditional darkroom techniques with the use of digital tools.

Prior to her career in the arts, Magrane worked as a community organizer and teacher, creating and managing a curriculum for teaching 3rd-6th graders coding skills in public schools in Caracas, Venezuela. She continues to be active in community work by giving talks and workshops revolving around the topics of art, technology, and the use of AR as a creative medium.

Camila Magrane has exhibited work internationally in numerous exhibitions, event spaces, fairs, and festivals. Selected exhibitions & clients include The Academy of Sciences, The Exploratorium, Themes+Projects Gallery, Minnesota Street Project, MUKEK, Gray Area, Sothebys, and Adobe. Selected press inquiries include Forbes, Adobe Blog, Refinery29, Lenscratch, Las Vegas Weekly, Las Vegas Review Journal, and Open Studios Guide.

Organized By: DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar

Modern systems are known to be massive-scale, with a hierarchy of dynamic and unknown topologies. The behavior of these systems can be captured via dynamic graphical models (DGM). An important application of DGMs is in the inference of dynamic gene regulatory networks that may change spatially across different cells and over time in response to different physiological cues. This work aims at developing efficient computational tools for the inference of DGMs that are not only statistically sound, but also adaptive, parallelizable, and implementable in massive scales. Much of the progress in the inference of DGMs with structural constraints is based on the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) with relaxed regularization, which neither result in ideal statistical properties nor scale to dimensions encountered in realistic settings. This work addresses these challenges by departing from the regularized MLE paradigm and resorting to a new class of constrained and combinatorial optimization that can systematically learn DGMs in near-linear time and memory. For the first time, we can infer instances of DGM with more than 500M variables in less than an hour. We will also show the promise of our method in the context of inferring gene networks underlying oncogenesis, using Glioblastoma as a case study.

This presentation will be held in 2036 Palmer Commons. There will also be a remote viewing option via Zoom.

Traces explores the relationship between the past and the present with a focus on the process of transformation as the connecting thread. The work consists of a series of collages and a collection of Polaroids that are accompanied by animations and video clips seen solely through the use of an augmented reality application (Virtual Mutations).

The scenarios presented in the static images act as literal stages for animated narratives. What once was a captured single moment echoes into motion, creating an additional layer as to what will come thereafter. A dialogue between the past and the present is established and the app itself acts as a mediator between these tenses, allowing the observer to have a glimpse of the afterthought, that range from digital collages to Polaroid instant film.

About the Artist
Camila Magrane is a multimedia artist originally from Caracas, Venezuela. Having a father from the U.S. and a mother from Venezuela, she grew up alternating between both countries. Being fully exposed to two different cultures gave her a greater understanding of what it means to have various perspectives. After graduating from film school in Caracas, she moved to San Francisco where she freelanced as an editor and camera operator. After discovering a passion for video games and interactive media, Magrane obtained a BS in computer science with a concentration in game development. This eventually led her to working in the game industry as a cinematic artist.

Magrane has been pursuing a professional career as a multimedia artist since 2017, working within a variety of mediums, from photography and collage to animation and virtual/augmented reality (AR). She has been most noted for the creation of her AR image-based work where she’s established a postmodern aesthetic by combining traditional darkroom techniques with the use of digital tools.

Prior to her career in the arts, Magrane worked as a community organizer and teacher, creating and managing a curriculum for teaching 3rd-6th graders coding skills in public schools in Caracas, Venezuela. She continues to be active in community work by giving talks and workshops revolving around the topics of art, technology, and the use of AR as a creative medium.

Camila Magrane has exhibited work internationally in numerous exhibitions, event spaces, fairs, and festivals. Selected exhibitions & clients include The Academy of Sciences, The Exploratorium, Themes+Projects Gallery, Minnesota Street Project, MUKEK, Gray Area, Sothebys, and Adobe.

Organized By: DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar

Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) and colocalization analysis are complementary integrative genetic association approaches routinely used to identify functional units underlying complex traits in post-genome-wide association study (post-GWAS) analyses. Recent studies suggest that both approaches are individually imperfect, but joint usage can yield robust and powerful inference results. In this talk, we introduce a new statistical framework, INTACT, to perform probabilistic integration of TWAS and colocalization evidence for implicating putative causal genes. This procedure is flexible and can work with a wide range of existing TWAS and colocalization approaches. It has the unique ability to quantify the uncertainty of implicated genes, enabling rigorous control of false-positive discoveries. Taking advantage of this highly-desirable feature, we describe an efficient algorithm, INTACT-GSE, for gene set enrichment analysis based on the integrated TWAS and colocalization analysis results. We examine the proposed computational methods and illustrate their improved performance over the existing approaches through simulation studies. We apply the proposed methods to the GTEx data and a variety of GWAS summary statistics derived from complex and molecular traits. We find empirical evidence that the proposed methods improve and complement existing putative gene implication methods and are advantageous in evaluating and identifying key gene sets and biological pathways. Finally, we present ongoing work that aims to extend INTACT to account for measurements of additional gene products (e.g. protein or isoform levels) in the inference procedure.
