Zheng, Z. (STATS) – Semi-Supervised Statistical Learning for Oceanographic Data
Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CAHybrid EventOceanographic data, generated by modern technologies that measure biological systems across time, space, and cell populations, are often rich, high-dimensional, and highly heterogeneous. Such data provide valuable opportunities to study subcellular organization, cellular heterogeneity, and dynamic biological processes in marine environments. However, because marine plankton systems remain relatively understudied and less well characterized than many […]

Quality First Coding Contest
Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CAThis is a programming contest, but with a twist! Instead of scoring you based on your speed and solution accuracy, we score you based on your programming quality and solution accuracy. This means that instead of looking at how fast you can program a solution, we look at your number of compiles/runs instead.* The contestant that […]

CM Seminar: Edward Wang, “Inventing a New Blood Pressure Monitor”
Presented by: Edward Wang Description: “What does it actually look like to invent something? In this talk, I trace the decade-long journey of turning a smartphone into a blood pressure monitor, from Seismo, which used smartphone accelerometers to measure pulse transit time, to BPClip, a dollar clip that brought calibration-free oscillometry to the fingertip, to VibroBP, which […]

Statistics Seminar: Active Learning for Fair and Stable Allocations
Presenter: Riddhiman Bhattacharya, Postdoc, UCSC Description: We propose an active learning approach for dynamic fair resource allocation problems. In contrast to prior work that assumes full feedback from all agents on their allocations, we focus on scenarios where feedback is available only from a carefully select subset of agents at each epoch of the online […]

Taming Two Scorpions: Climate Science Tipping Points Meet Finance Tail Risks
When two quite different disciplines make eerily similar predictions about the future of the planet and human societies, they deserve notice. Climate scientists warn that we may be heading toward a Hothouse Earth “inhospitable to … human societies,” with “increasingly catastrophic impacts” possibly “worldwide societal breakdown.” Finance and actuarial science emphasize the importance of tail […]
