SUMMARY:BME 280B Seminar: Computational Models of Biological Systems
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Chen-Hsiang Yeang\, Associate Research Fellow\, Institute of Statistical Science of Academia Sinica \nDescription: Computational models are roughly categorized into two types: describing the patterns of the phenomenon or data (description-driven models) and explaining the phenomenon or data with simpler\, comprehensible rules (explanation-driven models). When building a model\, the choice of the mixture ingredients of these two classes depends on the nature of the problem\, availability of the knowledge and data of the underlying system. In this talk\, I will give an overview of five models with varying combinations of descriptive and explanatory elements on different biological problems. First\, I will introduce a joint model to capture irreversible and reversible drug resistance mechanisms of cancers and a dynamic treatment strategy to tackle drug resistance. Second\, I will introduce a backward deconvolution algorithm based on probabilistic graphical models to unravel the cell type heterogeneity of the RNASeq data. Third\, I will introduce a deep neural network model to integrate direct and indirect associations of genotypes and images with phenotypes. Fourth\, I will introduce an experimental and computational framework to predict protein stability and discover motifs at C-terminals. Fifth\, I will introduce three algorithms to demarcate independent holes of specified dimensions in large networks. These works illustrate how “model selection” should be tailored for specific biological problems. \nBio: Chen-Hsiang Yeang is currently an associate research fellow at the Institute of Statistical Science of Academia Sinica. His research interests focus on several areas in computational biology and data science: 1) cancer genomics\, 2) cancer treatment\, 3) molecular evolution\, 4) network topology\, and 5) machine learning. \nHosted by: Professor Josh Stuart\, BME Department \nRoom: PSB-240

SUMMARY:Road Trip! Light in the American West\, from Baja to the Yukon
DESCRIPTION:The photographs in this exhibition\, made between 2004 and 2025\, span across the American West from the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico to The Yukon territory in Canada. Paul Schoellhamer’s (Cowell ‘69) color photographs invite us to travel with him and reflect on our relationship to land\, the light that shapes it\, and the freedom – contested but essential – to move across it. \nThe exhibition draws on voices across time and perspective that frame the American landscape as more than a stage for beauty and awe. For Chief Satanta of the Kiowa Nation\, to roam the land freely was life itself. For N. Scott Momaday\, land must be “believed to be seen.” For Eliot Porter\, light and reflection imparted magic to Glen Canyon’s waters. For Wallace Stegner\, saving natural places meant saving fragments of our collective sanity. For Brook M. Thompson\, the Klamath River is recognized with personhood. Alongside these perspectives\, Paul’s images press us to see public land not as scenery to extract or aestheticize\, but as sustenance and history. Land is alive and contested. To see closely is not to linger on a romanticized vision of the American landscape\, but to reckon with responsibility: how we safeguard access\, how we imagine “wildness\,” and how we hold space for futures beyond our own. For Paul\, this exhibition is a call for students to encounter land and light firsthand and let those encounters be their teachers. \nOpening Reception\nOctober 4\, 2025\n1-4pm \n—– \nJoin us every Friday for Art Fridays.\nNo experience necessary. Supplies and snacks provided. \n\nSep 26 Snail Mail/Postcards\nOct 3 Souvenir Keychains\nOct 10 Stamp Magnets\nOct 17 Cyanotype Totebags/Pouches/Pencil cases\nOct 24 Candy Around The World Linocuts\nOct 31 Abstract Felt Collages\nNov 7 Phone Photos/Buttons\nNov 14 Travel Related Patches With Upcycled Materials\nNov 21 Thanksgiving Break!

SUMMARY:Behavioral\, Econometrics and Theory Seminar Series Presents: Kevin Chen
DESCRIPTION:Economics Behavioral\, Econometrics\, & Theory Seminar\nDate: Thursday\, October 23\, 2025\nTime: 1:40-3:00 p.m.\nLocation: Engineering 2\, Rm 499\n\n \n\nSpeaker: Kevin Chen \nTitle:  Assistant Professor of Economics \nAffiliation: Stanford University\nHost: Michael Leung\n \nSeminar title: Compound Selection Decisions: An Almost SURE Approach \n \nABSTRACT:  This paper proposes methods for producing compound selection decisions in a Gaussian sequence model. Given unknown\, fixed parameters µ_{1:n} and known σ_{1:n} with observations Yᵢ ∼ 𝒩(μᵢ\, σᵢ²)\, the aim is to select a subset of units S to maximize utility Σ_{i∈S}(μᵢ − Kᵢ) for known costs Kᵢ. Inspired by Stein’s unbiased risk estimate (SURE)\, we introduce an almost unbiased estimator\, ASSURE\, for the expected utility of a proposed decision rule. ASSURE allows a user to choose a welfare-maximizing rule from a pre-specified class by optimizing the estimated welfare\, thereby producing selection decisions that borrow strength across noisy estimates. We show that ASSURE yields decision rules that are asymptotically no worse than the optimal but infeasible rule in the pre-specified class. We apply ASSURE to p-value decision procedures in A/B testing\, selecting Census tracts for economic opportunity\, and identifying discriminating firms.

SUMMARY:Robots that Know What They Do Not Know: Assured AI-enabled Autonomy in Unknown Environments
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Yiannis Kantaros\, Assistant Professor\, Electrical and Systems Engineering at WashU in St. Louis. \nTitle: Robots that Know What They Do Not Know: Assured AI-enabled Autonomy in Unknown Environments. \nTime: Thursday\, Oct 23rd\, 2025\, 2:00-3:00 pm. \nLocation: E2-553 or Zoom. \nAbstract: Designing robots that navigate unfamiliar environments to execute natural language (NL) commands is a cornerstone of advanced embodied intelligence. While recent AI-enabled architectures have made impressive empirical progress\, they often lack introspection\, leading to systems that act with unwarranted confidence\, unaware of their own limitations or whether they have successfully completed their tasks. As a result\, these systems offer limited performance and safety guarantees\, restricting their deployment in safety-critical settings.\nIn this talk\, I will present an introspective\, neuro-symbolic autonomy architecture that enables robots to complete NL tasks in unknown environments with assurance guarantees by explicitly quantifying their own uncertainty using uncertainty quantification (UQ) tools. The neural component employs large language models (LLMs) to translate NL commands into temporal logic specifications\, while leveraging conformal prediction\, a UQ tool\, to calibrate and quantify prediction uncertainty arising from LLM imperfections and potential NL ambiguity. When uncertainty exceeds user-defined thresholds\, uncertainty-aware feedback is solicited from auxiliary LLMs—or\, if necessary\, from human operators. We provide theoretical guarantees\, supported by empirical case studies\, that the proposed uncertainty-aware translation framework\, called ConformalNL2LTL\, achieves user-specified translation success rates under certain distributional settings. The symbolic component generates plans for mobile robots with AI-enabled perception systems to satisfy temporal logic tasks while explicitly reasoning over perceptual and environmental uncertainty. This allows robots to decide when to proceed confidently and when to actively gather additional sensor data\, ensuring task completion with the desired probability. Notably\, the developed planners are agnostic to specific sensor models or noise characteristics. The talk will conclude with case studies and demonstrations\, followed by a discussion of limitations and open problems. \nSpeaker Bio: Yiannis Kantaros is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering\, Washington University in St. Louis (WashU)\, St. Louis\, MO\, USA. He earned a Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2012 from the University of Patras\, Greece\, and M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Duke University\, Durham\, NC\, in 2017 and 2018\, respectively. Prior to joining WashU\, he was a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Computer and Information Science\, University of Pennsylvania\, Philadelphia\, PA. His current research interests include machine learning\, distributed control and optimization\, and formal methods with applications in robotics. He received the Best Student Paper Award at the 2nd IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP) in 2014 and was a finalist for the Best Multi-Robot Systems Paper at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) in 2024 and a finalist for the Best Paper Award at the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Cyber-physical Systems (CPSWeek-ICCPS) in 2025. He also received the 2017-18 Outstanding Dissertation Research Award from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at Duke University and a 2024 NSF CAREER Award.

SUMMARY:Mary Roach - Replaceable You
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes #1 New York Times bestselling author Mary Roach for a discussion about Replaceable You: Adventures in Human Anatomy. In this irrepressible new work\, Mary Roach explores the remarkable advances and difficult questions prompted by the human body’s failings. When and how does a person decide they’d be better off with a prosthetic than their existing limb? Can a donated heart be made to beat forever? Can an intestine provide a workable substitute for a vagina? \n \nThe body is the most complex machine in the world\, and the only one for which you cannot get a replacement part from the manufacturer. For centuries\, medicine has reached for what’s available–sculpting noses from brass\, borrowing skin from frogs and hearts from pigs\, crafting eye parts from jet canopies and breasts from petroleum by-products. Today we’re attempting to grow body parts from scratch using stem cells and 3D printers. How are we doing? Are we there yet? Irrepressible and accessible\, Replaceable You immerses readers in the wondrous\, improbable\, and surreal quest to build a new you. This event is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz. \nMary Roach is the author of seven best-selling works of nonfiction\, including Grunt\, Stiff\, and\, most recently\, Fuzz. Her writing has appeared in National Geographic and the New York Times Magazine\, among other publications. She lives in California.
