SUMMARY:March is Hummingbird Month at the UCSC Arboretum & Botanic Garden
DESCRIPTION:March is Hummingbird Month at the UCSC Arboretum & Botanic Garden \nThis time of year\, the Arboretum hosts both Anna’s and Allen’s hummingbirds\, the two most common species in Northern California. “The density of hummingbirds—the number per area in the Arboretum—is ridiculously high\,” says Bruce Lyon\, Professor Emeriti of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UCSC. “You can watch them feeding on flowers\, you can watch their courtship\, you can watch them chasing different species. It’s a great opportunity to see some pretty amazing hummingbird biology.” \nIn celebration of this special time of year\, we invite you to visit the garden as much as possible! We will have presentations\, workshops\, and tours throughout the month. See our webpage for a schedule of activities and more information about hummingbirds and the abundance of plants at the Arboretum that attract them. \nWe will also feature hummingbird merchandise and hummingbird-attracting plants at our gift shop and nursery. Visit Norrie’s Gift & Garden Shop\, Tuesdays thru Sundays from 10 – 4. For more information visit: https://arboretum.ucsc.edu/garden-shop/ \nAll events are free with paid admission: Adults: $10\, Seniors $8 and Youth 4-17 $5. Current UCSC students are free. Rain cancels outdoor activities. \nCurrent Arboretum members are always free and enjoy other great benefits year-round!  Join Today at https://arboretum.ucsc.edu/get-involved/join-us/    \n  \n

SUMMARY:CSE Colloquium: Co-Active AI-Assisted Programming
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Nadia Polikarpova\, UCSD \nAbstract: \nAI-assisted programming has rapidly moved from novelty to default. Today\, most developers use AI coding tools\, and increasingly rely on agentic systems capable of making multi-step design and implementation decisions with minimal human guidance. While these systems boost productivity\, they also introduce new risks: developers may disengage from the reasoning behind generated code\, leading to shallow understanding\, loss of ownership\, and what is increasingly described as cognitive debt. \nIn this talk\, I argue that AI-driven software development must be co-active: humans and AI should remain continuously engaged in a shared process of understanding and decision-making. I will present two complementary research directions toward this goal. The first focuses on observability—helping developers understand\, validate\, and trace the behavior of AI-generated code. The second focuses on controllability—making AI decisions explicit\, persistent\, and steerable. Together\, these ideas restore programmer agency while maintaining the productivity gains of AI-assisted development. \nBio: \nNadia Polikarpova is an associate professor at UC San Diego\, and a member of the Programming Systems group. She received her Ph.D. in Computer Science from ETH Zurich in 2014\, and then spent some time as a postdoctoral researcher at MIT. Nadia’s research interests are at the intersection of programming languages\, AI\, human-computer interaction\, and social computing. \nHosted by: Professor Nikos Tziavelis \nLocation: Engineering 2\, Room E2-180 (*Refreshments such as coffee\, tea\, pastries\, and fresh fruit will be available.) \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/93445911992?pwd=YkJ2TQtF79h0PcNXbEcpZLbpK0coiY.1&jst=3

SUMMARY:Yang\, S. (CSE) - Beyond Image Editing: Building Generalized Image Customization Systems
DESCRIPTION:Current generative vision models struggle with image customization that requires multi-step reasoning or real-world knowledge. This proposal introduces generalized image customization\, enabling systems to execute complex\, inferential modifications rather than just simple edits. The research focuses on the foundational framework required for this generalization\, specifically high-quality training data\, scalable evaluation benchmarks\, self-improving training paradigms that reduce reliance on paired annotations\, and unified multi-modal architectures. Building on two completed studies in data quality and evaluation\, this proposal outlines two future research directions to develop capable\, annotation-efficient\, and reasoning-native image customization systems. \nEvent Host: Siwei Yang\, Ph.D. Student\, Computer Science and Engineering \nAdvisor: Cihang Xie \nZoom- https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/3852138080?pwd=Z0MyTVM2WjdCbEM4OXVxWUhhei84dz09 \n

SUMMARY:Undiscovered Shakespeare: The Two Noble Kinsmen - Episode II
DESCRIPTION:Shakespeare returns to the characters and themes of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in what may have been the last play he had a hand in writing: The Two Noble Kinsmen. This time\, however\, the story of Theseus and Hippolyta\, the disorienting experience of adolescent sexual desire\, and the conflict of duties to sovereigns\, parents\, friends\, and spouses are no laughing matter. It’s over-shadowed by the play’s source text — Chaucer’s Knight’s Tale\, in which chance foils Theseus’s best efforts to create order out of chaos and meaning out of loss — and by Shakespeare’s own experience writing tragedy and tragicomedy. \n \nThomas Luxon is Professor of English\, Emeritus at Dartmouth College\, where he was also the inaugural Cheheyl Professor and Director of the Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning. His teaching and scholarship focus on literature of the English Renaissance and Reformation\, with a particular interest in John Milton\, John Bunyan\, John Dryden\, and 17th-century English religion and politics. In his revelatory book\, Single Imperfection: Milton\, Marriage\, and Friendship (Duquesne UP\, 2005)\, Professor Luxon explores the impact of ancient theories of friendship on Milton’s conception of Reformation marriage\, and during the pandemic\, he contributed a lecture about the rivalry of friendship and marriage in Two Noble Kinsmen to Ian Doescher’s Shakespeare 2020 Project. \nUndiscovered Shakespeare is a public arts and humanities series co-produced by Santa Cruz Shakespeare\, UCSC Shakespeare Workshop\, and The Humanities Institute. It brings professional actors and scholars together with the public for a staged reading and discussion of works by Shakespeare that are rarely produced.
