We will cover program overview, admissions and career outcomes.
Robotic space missions often use discrete event simulation to reduce risk in operation. A simulation applies a set of planned activities to a model of mission resources, and the model’s observed behavior is used to predict real-world outcomes. However, logically concurrent activities are typically simulated under one possible linearization of their events – an order […]

Please join us for the second talk in the FINS: Fisheries Insights Narratives and Stories seminar series featuring Adjunct Professor Dr. George Leonard. His talk, “Lessons learned from my time at the science-policy interface” will discuss his extensive experience at the ocean science-policy interface at major nonprofits (Monterey Bay Aquarium and Ocean Conservancy). He initiated, developed, and led a host of conservation programs during his time at Ocean Conservancy including offshore aquaculture, plastics pollution, ocean acidification, climate change, mesopelagic fisheries, and deep-sea mining. During his early career at Monterey Bay Aquarium, he developed the scientific foundation for the nascent sustainable seafood movement. Preceding the talk please join us for a networking coffee hour (snacks provided) and a student-only lunch after the talk.
Presenter: Ravi Kumar, Google Abstract: In discrete choice, a user selects one option from a finite set of available alternatives, a process that is crucial for recommendation systems applications in e-commerce, social media, search engines, etc. A popular way to model discrete choice is through Random Utility Models (RUMs). RUMs assume that users assign values to […]

Sequencing technologies have transformed population and evolutionary genetics, making it possible to ask questions at scales that were intractable a decade ago. Realizing that potential depends on tailored computational approaches, and on the tools and infrastructure those approaches are built on. My dissertation works across this spectrum. Using an in vitro Drosophila cell culture system, […]

Join OLLI for a social hour and a presentation titled, Are We Alone? Thirty Years of Exoplanet Discovery
Presenter: Dr. Xun Tang, Stanford University Description: This talk covers an efficient numerical approach for compressing a high-dimensional discrete distribution function into a non-negative tensor train (NTT) format. The two settings we consider are variational inference and density estimation, whereby one has access to either the unnormalized analytic formula of the distribution or the samples […]
Presenter: Snigdha Panigrahi, Associate Professor, Department of Statistics, University of Michigan Description:Agglomerative hierarchical clustering is one of the most widely used approaches for exploring how observations in a dataset relate to each other. However, its greedy nature makes it highly sensitive to small perturbations in the data, often producing different clustering results and making it […]
