SUMMARY:Li\, J. (CM) - Detecting Failure to Adapt: Reading Self-Regulated Learning Breakdowns from Game Telemetry through Plan Recognition
DESCRIPTION:Three learners who fail the same level of an educational game the same number of times can be failing in three different ways\, and the difference determines what each should do next. Yet the measures a game’s logs are usually reduced to (completion time\, error counts\, mastery estimates) render the three identical. This proposal takes one breakdown as its object: failure-to-adapt\, the case where the game has repeatedly surfaced evidence that a learner’s current approach is failing and the learner’s approach shows no responsive change. The construct is grounded in Winne and Hadwin’s monitor-and-control model of self-regulated learning and defined at the level of the learner’s plan. To detect it\, a plan-recognition engine maintains a continuously updated probability estimate of which strategy the learner is executing across the whole trace; an episode is flagged when that estimate shows no evidence-responsive revision. Because behavior alone cannot settle what broke down\, flagged episodes are validated against learners’ own verbal reports\, coded blind\, and decomposed into monitoring failure\, control failure\, or control the trace cannot show. Three studies carry the work: detection and diagnosis on real telemetry from an educational game\, including a comparison against the analytics the field already runs; a formative study of what a facilitator (an instructor or teaching assistant running a class play session) must see to judge correctly which learners need attention; and a documented authoring case carrying the detection to a second game. The contribution is knowledge for game-based-learning researchers: a theory-grounded construct\, a validated way to detect it from play\, and the authoring knowledge to embed that detection in new games. \nEvent Host: Jiahong Li\, Ph.D. Student\, Computational Media \nAdvisor: Magy Seif El-Nasr \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/93238603235?pwd=zENRsu82HRj4JYKcMEn9MZibU8kC7F.1 \nPasscode: 835328

SUMMARY:Gholami\, K. (ECE) - Efficient Language Model Construction and Inference via Sparsity
DESCRIPTION:While large language models can match or exceed human performance\, they do so with memory and energy costs orders of magnitude greater than biological cognition. We investigate sparsity as a brain-inspired computational principle to address both. We first establish a framework for evaluating small language model construction methods\, using the next-token logit distribution as a behavioral fingerprint. Then\, we introduce a semi-structured correlation-aware weight sparsity (CWS) method that uses the full activation covariance to identify and prune correlated weights whose combined removal cost is lower than any individual score predicts. CWS\, improves perplexity over existing criteria up to 70% sparsity. To extend this gain to extreme sparsity\, we propose a hierarchical ADMM framework that optimizes pruning directly against cross-entropy and distillation loss\, first layer-wise for efficiency and then globally for cross-layer coordination. This research establishes brain-inspired principles as a foundation for efficient language models that remain accurate even under extreme compression. \nEvent Host: Kimia Gholami\, Ph.D. Student\, Electrical & Computer Engineering \nAdvisor: Jason Eshraghian \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/9827512398?pwd=SGpDWGtVVG81dkgyTHhjbG81dEVUZz09&omn=98349793611 \nPasscode: 8398

SUMMARY:Fontana\, J. (STAT) - When We're Always Wrong: Scalable Variable Selection in M-Open Settings
DESCRIPTION:A ubiquitous task in statistical practice is that of variable selection\, identifying which of a large set of features are the relevant ones. As data sets with a large number of observations have become increasingly common\, new theoretical and computational challenges for model selection have emerged. We consider the variable selection problem for linear models in the M-open setting\, where the data generating process is outside the model space. We focus on the novel problem of “model superinduction”\, which refers to the tendency of model selection procedures to select larger models at an exponential rate as the sample size grows\, resulting in overparametrized models which collapse model interpretability and induce severe computational difficulties. For a set of popular frequentist information criteria and the Bayesian case of mixtures of g-priors\, we prove that when comparing nested models\, the larger model will always be asymptotically selected. We seek to minimize this effect for large n while preserving variable selection consistency.We propose utilizing a mixture of g-priors\, where the hyper-prior on g has hyper-parameters chosen to result in a slowly diminishing rate of prior influence on the posterior\, which favors simpler models while preserving consistency. We also propose a model space prior which induces stronger model complexity penalization for large sample sizes. The posterior model probabilities under our prior choices further provide an alternative information criterion that is resistant to the effects of model superinduction. \nNext\, we extend our results to other classes of popular variable selection priors\, the family of spike and slab priors\, the non-local priors\, and selection procedures that correspond to posterior modes such as the LASSO. We show that these procedures are all afflicted with model superinduction\, except for the continuous spike and slab priors when a Student-t distribution is used for both the spike and the slab. \nFinally\, we address existing bottlenecks in the computation efficacy of spike and slab based variable selection. We demonstrate that Gibbs samplers scale poorly to large sample sizes\, and the proposed alternatives in the literature result in posterior surrogates that are afflicted with superinduction. Instead\, we propose a search strategy based off easy to compute approximations of the posterior model probabilities. We show this procedure\, Fast Approximate Stochastic Search (FASS)\, coupled with post-hoc inference on parameters via either a Block-Variational Bayes approach or an Expectation Propagation approach\, results in competitive performance. We demonstrate the aforementioned phenomena\, and the efficacy of our proposed solutions\, via synthetic data examples and case studies using albedo data from GOES satellites and LCA application data. \nEvent Host: Jacob Fontana\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Statistical Science \nAdvisor: Bruno Sansó \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/99965109575?pwd=uGkOwWM3Rl3zP66aL1RecoOfB8Yat0.1 \nPasscode: 879019

SUMMARY:The Dickens Universe featuring 'Bleak House'
DESCRIPTION:The Dickens Universe is a unique cultural event that brings together scholars\, teachers\, students\, and members of the general public for a week of stimulating discussion and festive social activity on the beautiful Santa Cruz campus of the University of California—all focused on one or two Victorian novels\, usually (but not always) one by Charles Dickens. In 2026\, the Dickens Universe will feature Bleak House by Charles Dickens. \nDickens’s ninth novel\, published between 1852-1853\, shines a light on social injustice and the devastating effects of a corrupt legal system\, following the entangled lives of those caught in the never-ending Jarndyce and Jarndyce case. Told in alternating narrative voices\, this rich literary experiment plays with a variety of genres from detective fiction and social realism to melodrama and satire. As characters move from city to suburb\, from mansions to slums\, we discover unexpected connections among classes\, plots\, and characters. \nNow in its 46th year of operation\, the Dickens Universe combines features of a scholarly conference\, a festival\, a book club\, and a summer camp. Participants include people of all ages and walks of life—distinguished scholars\, graduate students\, undergraduates\, retirees\, young professionals\, high school teachers\, and anyone who loves reading and enjoys long Victorian novels. \nHere are some things that make the Universe such a special experience. \n\nThe college lifestyle: participants live on campus\, eat together in the student dining hall\, and have time to meet and come to know each other in different ways.\nEveryone is reading the same book. We all have this one important thing in common.\nThe activities include formal lectures\, small discussion groups\, films\, daily Victorian teas\, performances\, and Victorian dancing.\n\nThe Universe offers a week of total immersion in the world of Victorian fiction with friendly\, like-minded colleagues in a beautiful setting. Whether we’re returning to a Dickens novel that everyone knows and loves\, or branching out into a Victorian novel by another author who might be less familiar\, during the Universe we build a community out of our passion for reading\, talking with one another\, and bringing Victorian culture to life. \n\nView the complete schedule\nRegistration options\nPlenary Lecturers and Guest Scholars

SUMMARY:Cabrillo Festival 2026 - Opening Night
DESCRIPTION:“We the Dreamers is both an invitation and a responsibility”; says Music Director Cristian Măcelaru. “At this historic moment\, we are asking how music can help us imagine a more expansive ‘we’—one that listens deeply\, embraces complexity\, and dares to hope. These works remind us that dreaming is essential to shaping a more just and connected future.” \nThe Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music presents its 64th season\, We the Dreamers\, running July 26 through August 9\, 2026. Framed by the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence\, this transformative season asks one of the most resonant civic questions of our time: Who is the “we” of America—and who are “we” still becoming? The answers unfold across four world premiere Festival Commissions\, eight West Coast premieres\, and two U.S. premieres\, brought to life by a dynamic global roster of over 20 composers and an extraordinary array of guest artists. \nHighlights include the second-ever performance and West Coast premiere of Philip Glass’s Symphony No. 15 Lincoln\, which draws on Lincoln’s urgent reverence for the Constitution and his prescient warnings against internal division\, alongside an appearance by Former U.S. Poet Laureate Rita Dove and new works by Clarice Assad\, Vivian Fung\, Sarah Hennies\, and Pedro Emanuel Pereira—together offering a compelling portrait of our contemporary moment through the lens of history\, civic reckoning\, and global perspective. \nFor more information: Cabrillo Festival 2026

SUMMARY:August Slugs and Steins with Professor Barbara Rogoff
DESCRIPTION:Learning to be Community-Minded\nHow do children learn to be part of a community\, attentive to what’s going on around them and pitching in to help out? Barbara Rogoff builds on her 50+ years researching and participating with a Mayan community in Guatemala to make the case that people everywhere can learn from Indigenous cultural values of relationality and responsibility\, which are commonly enacted in everyday family and community life. An important practice in many Indigenous-heritage communities of the Americas is including children collaboratively in the endeavors of family and community life even in the youngest years. In the process\, young children often collaborate skillfully and help without being asked\, developing community-mindedness through their shared contributions. \nBarbara Rogoff is UCSC Foundation Distinguished Professor of Psychology at UCSC. She investigates cultural aspects of children’s learning and how communities arrange for learning\, finding especially sophisticated collaboration\, attention\, and community-mindedness among children from some Mexican and Indigenous communities of the Americas. She is an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Education\, and a Fellow of professional organizations in psychology\, anthropology\, and education. She has received Distinguished Lifetime Contributions Awards from international research organizations as well as the Chemers Award for Outstanding Research\, from UCSC. She has held the University of California Presidential Chair and Fellowships of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences\, Kellogg Foundation\, Spencer Foundation\, and the Exploratorium\, and served as Editor of Human Development. A cat that lives at a University in Pakistan is named in her honor (the cat’s name: “Doctor Barbara Rogoff”). Her award-winning books include Learning Together: Children and Adults in a School Community; The Cultural Nature of Human Development; and Developing Destinies: A Mayan Midwife and Town. \nREGISTER
