SUMMARY:Night of Ideas 2026
DESCRIPTION:Enlightenment\, Now! \nJoin us for a nocturnal celebration of art\, philosophy\, and activism! \nEnlightenment\, Now! \nAs the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of its independence\, the 2026 Santa Cruz Night of Ideas invites us not to celebrate the Enlightenment\, but to interrogate it. Long associated with democracy\, progress\, and universal reason\, the Enlightenment’s legacy remains deeply ambivalent – coexisting with enduring forms of exclusion\, colonial violence\, and economic exploitation. These unresolved tensions\, strikingly visible today\, demand renewed scrutiny. \nRather than treating the Enlightenment as a closed chapter or shared inheritance\, this edition centers young local voices and civil society to ask urgent questions: whose reason matters\, whose freedoms are secured\, and whose futures are denied? \nThrough conversations\, workshops\, performances\, and visionary talks\, Enlightenment\, Now! becomes a space for lived experience and collective experimentation. Featuring contributions from local performers Crista Berryessa and Beati Quorum\, Alex Olwal’s audiovisual collaborations with AL-EK\, and Juan Ospina\, flautist and composer with Olemano\, our event will also bring together Thomas Sage Pedersen\, Ronaldo V. Wilson\, Gina Athena Ulysse\, and many other guests. The aim is not consensus\, but momentum: rethinking progress and imagining new political\, ethical\, and cultural possibilities under radically changed conditions. \nJoin us on Friday\, April 17 at the Institute of the Arts and Sciences to explore what remains of the Enlightenment\, and what it might become! \nThis event is brought to you by the Center for Public Philosophy\, with support from the Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, The Humanities Institute\, the Marc Sanders Foundation\, Villa Albertine\, and the Institut Français. \nLearn more and sign up for updates at nightofideas.org. \nNight of Ideas 2026 Schedule:\nMAIN HALL\n5:00pm: Crista Berryessa and Beati Quorum + introductory remarks by Jeanne Proust\n5:30pm: Thomas Sage Pedersen\, Staying with Discomfort.

SUMMARY:DRAIN - Quarry Amphitheater (April 18th)
DESCRIPTION:Tickets are on sale at quarryamphitheater.com\, starting at $55.96 for general admission \nDRAIN came together in the sleepy\, oceanside NorCal climes of Santa Cruz in 2014 when Ciaramitaro met up with guitarist Cody Chavez and drummer Tim Flegal while attending college. “We had no idea or gameplan of what we were trying to do\,” says Sammy. “It was more like\, ‘Hey\, you have a metal band T-shirt\, and I got a Downpresser shirt on\, and someone likes Municipal Waste. We should all play together.’” While nearby scenes like San Jose and Oakland (known for the legendary Gilman Street venue) had local heat\, Drain had to pull up their bootstraps to ignite their own. “We made our own scene in Santa Cruz\,” reveals the DIY vocalist proudly; he began booking shows at Café Pergolesi\, a local coffee shop that became the town’s hardcore hub.

SUMMARY:AM Seminar: Variational Inference and Density Estimation with Non-Negative Tensor Train
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Dr. Xun Tang\, Stanford University \nDescription: 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 generated from the distribution. In particular\, the compression is done through a two-stage approach. In the first stage\, we use existing subroutines to encode the distribution function in a tensor train format. In the second stage\, we use an NTT ansatz to fit the obtained tensor train. For the NTT fitting procedure\, we use a log barrier term to ensure the positivity of each tensor component\, and then utilize a second-order alternating minimization scheme to accelerate convergence. In practice\, we observe that the proposed NTT fitting procedure exhibits drastically faster convergence than an alternative multiplicative update method that has been previously proposed. Through challenging numerical experiments\, we show that our approach can accurately compress target distribution functions. \nBio: Xun Tang is a postdoc in Stanford University\, department of mathematics\, hosted by Prof. Lexing Ying. Xun works on tensor network methods for scientific computing and data science\, and Xun also works on optimal transport algorithms. Xun will join HKUST department of mathematics in August 2026 as an incoming assistant professor. \nHosted by: Applied Mathematics Department

SUMMARY:Statistics Seminar: Hierarchical Clustering with Confidence
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Snigdha Panigrahi\, Associate Professor\, Department of Statistics\, University of Michigan \nDescription: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 difficult to separate genuine structure from spurious patterns. In this talk\, I will show how randomizing hierarchical clustering can be useful not just for measuring stability but also for designing valid hypothesis testing procedures based on the clustering results. We propose a simple randomization scheme to construct valid p-values at each node of a hierarchical clustering dendrogram\, quantifying evidence against greedy merges while controlling the Type I error rate. Our method applies to any linkage without case-specific derivations\, is substantially more powerful than existing selective inference approaches\, and provides an estimate of the number of clusters with a probabilistic guarantee on overestimation. \nBio:Snigdha Panigrahi is an Associate Professor of Statistics at the University of Michigan\, where she also holds a courtesy appointment in the Department of Biostatistics. She received her PhD in Statistics from Stanford University in 2018 and has been a faculty member at Michigan since then. Her research focuses on converting purely predictive machine learning algorithms into principled inferential methods. She is an elected member of the International Statistical Institute\, and her work has been recognized with an NSF CAREER Award and the Bernoulli New Researcher’s Award. Her editorial service\, past and present\, includes Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics\, Bernoulli\, and Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series B. \nHosted by: Statistics Department

SUMMARY:The Tallest Dwarf—film screening and talk with Julie Wyman
DESCRIPTION:UC Santa Cruz affiliates are invited to a screening and discussion with filmmaker Julie Forrest Wyman. The Tallest Dwarf charts the filmmaker’s quest to find her place within the little people (LP) community at a moment when dwarf identity is poised to radically change. Wyman’s work engages issues of embodiment\, body image\, and the possibilities and problematics of media spectatorship—all informed by her experience of living with hypochondroplasia dwarfism. Julie Wyman will be in conversation after the screening with Pooja Rangan (Professor of English and Film and Media Studies at Amherst College and Visiting Scholar of Visualizing Abolition) and Cynthia Ling Lee (Associate Professor of Performance\, Play & Design\, UC Santa Cruz). \nCo-organized/co-sponsored by the Arts Division’s Film & Digital Media Department\,  “Abolition Medicine and Disability Justice“—a collaborative initiative of five UC campuses\, including Riverside\, Irvine\, Los Angeles\, Santa Cruz\, and San Francisco\, to addresses health disparities in institutions and policy—and The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz.\n—\nADMISSION\n– Free and open to UC Santa Cruz affiliates only\n– Attend in person at Communications Studio C\n—\nPARKING\n– Parking via UCSC permit or ParkMobile\n– Core West is the lot closest to the event\n—\nABOUT THE FILM\nAs Wyman unpacks the rumors of “partial dwarfism” in her family\, she finds that hers is the last of a body type she has inherited. She joins forces with a group of dwarf artists to confront the legacy of being fetishized and put on display. Together they create films that reclaim a complicated history and speak back to the echoes of eugenics in the newly emerging pharmaceutical interventions that make little people taller. Through its personal and expanding perspective\, the film invites audiences to a new way of seeing.\n—\nABOUT THE FILMMAKER\nJulie Forrest Wyman’s 2012 documentary STRONG! premiered at AFI Silverdocs and was broadcast nationally on PBS’s Emmy award-winning series\, Independent Lens\, where it won the series’ Audience Award. Wyman’s work has been awarded support from Sundance\, Sandbox\, IDA\, SF Film Society\, Points North\, ITVS\, the Creative Capital Foundation\, The Princess Grace Foundation\, California Humanities\, and NEH. She has been a fellow at the UC Davis Feminist Research Institute and a resident of SF Film Society’s Filmhouse\, Siena Art Institute\, Logan Nonfiction and Points North. Her films\, including FatMob (2016)\, Buoyant (2005)\, and A Boy Named Sue (2000)\, have aired on Showtime\, MTV’s LOGO-TV\, and have been exhibited on five continents. She serves as Associate Professor of Cinema and Digital Media at UC Davis.\n—\nDownload and share the event flyer here.\n—\nphotographer credit: Gabriella Garcia-Pardo; image description: A group of six LP (little people) performers regard their paper body cut outs on the wall. \n

SUMMARY:A Sacred Place: Film Screening and Conversation with Dr. Dolly Kikon
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for American premiere of A Sacred Place (2026)\, by Professor Dolly Kikon (Anthropology). The film tells the story of stones\, spirits\, and salt springs in Makhel. The film focuses on intergenerational storytellers and their relationship with the land. It integrates visual ethnography\, oral tradition\, and geological features of Makhel to center Indigenous pedagogy\, community history\, and ecology. After the screening\, Professor Clementine Bordeaux (HAVC) will provide comments and facilitate a conversation with Kikon and audience member participants. \nMakhel in Mao Naga language means a sacred place. Can sacredness exist amid ecocide in our times? Seeking an answer\, the film follows life as it unfolds in the mountains of Makhel\, a Naga village in northern Manipur. These mountains are composed of sandstones\, shales\, and siltstones. The sandstone monoliths across the landscape are symbols of ancient alliance and kinship between spirits and humans. The story of the land is also stored in the salt springs\, ancient seawater retained in shale soil\, a geological feature of these mountains. Geographically part of the Eastern Himalayas\, the salt springs of Makhel were formed through sedimentation under an ancient equatorial ocean around 50 million years ago. Naga ancestors regarded these geological features as abodes for spirit custodians and cared for them. A Sacred Place is the story of land narrated by Naga storytellers\, as humans prioritize relentless development forgetting their relationship with human and other beings. \nLearn more about A Sacred Place.  \n \nThis screening is a hybrid event. Remote participants will receive a link to the film before the event to watch on their own. They may join the conversation via Zoom. \nPlease RSVP to register for this event. Register here. Any questions can be directed to seacoast@ucsc.edu \nThis event is graciously co-sponsored by UCSC’s Center for Southeast Asian Coastal Interactions\, Center for South Asian Studies\, Indigenous Faculty Network\, and The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:CSE Colloquium - Robust Machine Learning for Biomedical Data: Efficiency\, Reliability\, and Generalizability
DESCRIPTION:Presenter\nChenyu You\, Stony Brook University \nAbstract\nIn the rapidly growing area of machine learning\, there is profound promise in crafting intelligent\, data-driven methods for diverse real-world applications. Yet\, in safety-critical domains like healthcare\, some fundamental challenges remain: (1) The insufficiency of raw biomedical data emphasizes the need for data-efficient and robust learning approaches. (2) The imperative of safety and stability necessitates a cohesive framework that unifies learning with theoretical guarantees. (3) The inherent heterogeneity and distribution shifts in real-world clinical data call for robust and generalizable learning methods. To address these challenges\, there are several major directions I have explored: (i) (Robust) Machine Learning for Imperfect Medical Data: The development of machine learning models\, particularly in the context of label scarcity\, increasingly necessitates the collection of substantial annotated medical data. Moreover\, medical data often display a long-tailed class distribution\, which consequently results in notable imbalance issues. To this end\, there are several growing interests in training machine learning models jointly across imbalanced class distributions and limited annotations. I have developed novel\, efficient\, statistically consistent algorithms to improve empirical performance for biomedical image analysis. (ii) Learning with Theoretical Guarantees: As machine learning methods have become ubiquitous in clinical decision-making\, their reliability and interpretability have become important. This is particularly crucial in the field of biomedical image analysis\, where decision outcomes can have profound implications. I have developed novel machine learning algorithms that enable provably accurate anatomical modeling with theoretical guarantees. (iii) Generalize across Diverse Biomedical Data: The development of medical foundation models often requires massive and diverse biomedical data. To this end\, I have developed various foundation models for biomedical imaging data and explored novel applications of these models. I have also developed novel medical AI Agents that lead to the scalable and accurate predictive modeling\, particularly for distribution shift problems. \nSpeaker Bio\nChenyu You is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics & Statistics and Department of Computer Science at Stony Brook University.

SUMMARY:Policing Belonging: The Politics of Immigration Enforcement
DESCRIPTION:The Legal Studies Program presents: Policing Belonging: The Politics of Immigration Enforcement. This year\, we will be hosting Professor Amada Armenta\, UCLA Director of Latino Policy and Politics Institute. In this talk\, Amada Armenta traces the policy and practice of immigration enforcement in the United States. Drawing on years of qualitative research with police officers\, bureaucrats\, and undocumented immigrants\, she examines how the politics of enforcement are enacted in everyday life—through discretionary decisions\, local collaborations\, and moral reasoning. Armenta shows how immigration enforcement generates moral tensions for those who carry it out and existential dilemmas for those forced to live within its reach\, revealing a system that exposes the uneven burdens of power and belonging. \n  \n2026 Distinguished Lecture (1) \n

SUMMARY:Pawl\, E. (STAT) - Flexible and Scalable Mixtures of Experts for Oceanographic Flow Cytometry Data
DESCRIPTION:Flow cytometry is a valuable technique in microbial research used to measure the optical properties of single-celled organisms at high throughput. Oceanographers often deploy flow cytometers on research cruises in order to study the characteristics of phytosynthetic microbes—called phytoplankton—in regions and times with diverse environmental conditions. Because cytometers cannot distinguish between subpopulations\, researchers typically cluster observations into subpopulations and subsequently analyze cluster characteristics. This two-stage workflow is often manual\, difficult to reproduce\, and fails to account for uncertainty in cluster assignments when relating subpopulation behavior to environmental conditions. To address these shortcomings\, statistical mixture models are gradually being introduced as alternatives to manual flow cytometry data analysis. However\, existing models either cannot use covariates or make restrictive assumptions about the relationships between cluster characteristics and covariates. Additionally\, they are designed to analyze individual cruises and consequently characterize local\, rather than global\, patterns in phytoplankton behavior. We propose to develop computationally efficient mixtures of experts which account for the complex dependency structures in oceanographic flow cytometry data. In this framework\, cells are probabilistically assigned to latent subpopulations\, while cluster-specific regressions relate each subpopulation’s optical properties and relative abundance to environmental conditions. Our first project develops a mixture of random weight neural network experts which can estimate arbitrary nonlinear regressions at low computational cost\, without a priori specification of functional forms. In the second project\, we develop a variational Bayesian mixture of experts which automatically selects variables without requiring cross-validation for hyperparameter selection. The final project incorporates spatial and temporal dependence\, allowing joint inference on data collected from multiple research cruises conducted at different locations and times. \nEvent Host: Ethan Pawl\, Ph.D. Student\, Statistical Science \nAdvisors: Sangwon Hyun & Paul Parker \nZoom- https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/96353239941?pwd=a4PJ94EMSD6D0SJ75S3WYzrPbYsBtn.1 \nPasscode- 244463
