Machine Learning and Causality: Building Efficient, Reliable Models for Decision-Making
All seminars will be held in-person in IOE 1680 as well as virtually on Zoom. For the Zoom link and password, RSVP at https://forms.gle/6L14KTNJu9sizkN36. To view all of our upcoming seminars, see https://cheps.engin.umich.edu/seminar-series/2021-seminar/. Increasingly practitioners are looking to ML-based causal and predictive models to provide personalized decision guidance. However, current techniques for causal inference typically rely on having access to large amounts of data, limiting their applicability to data-constrained settings such as healthcare where collection of data might be prohibitively costly. In addition, empirical evidence has shown that most predictive models are insufficiently robust with respect to shifts at test time. This…

GRIEF CONFERENCE – Discovering Compassion in Loss: Building Sustainability for All
This ½ day conference is a way to recognize professional grief, which is frequently experienced but often hidden, while also building knowledge and skills in grief and loss related to death and non-death loss. By embracing healthy coping behaviors and a supportive work culture, we hope to decrease compassion fatigue, mitigate occupational stress and burnout, and increase the joy and fulfillment in this type of work. Our 2021 lineup includes the following presentations: Delivering Bad news: The Art of Compassionate Communication—Aimee Vantine &Lisbeth Harcourt Coping and Self-Care: In the Midst of Life and Loss—Susan Burgess and Lisa Evans Unit Based…

5th Annual RNA Symposium, “Processing RNA”
Zoom registration: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_xTKA1-ftSXKemVbSd1ty5A RNA research shapes revolutionary scientific paths, from fundamental science discoveries in the labs to powerful biomedical applications for patients. The rapid rise of RNA-guided genome editing tools and mRNA-based vaccinations demonstrates the tremendous impact of such breakthroughs. To help us “process” these advances, five Keynote speakers and six Data Blitz presenters will give us their takes on RNA biomedicine, from RNA processing to RNA structure and CRISPR tools. Join us for what promises to become an inspiring 5th annual symposium, socially distanced but undeterred by COVID-19.
