DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS AND DATA SCIENCE SEMINAR
Date: Monday, February 26, 2018
Time: 4:15pm – 5:15pm
Place: 24 Hillhouse Avenue, Rm. 107
Seminar Speaker: Aaditya Ramdas

Title: Interactive algorithms for multiple hypothesis testing
Abstract: Data science is at a crossroads. Each year, thousands of new data scientists are entering science and technology, after a broad training in a variety of fields. Modern data science is often exploratory in nature, with datasets being collected and dissected in an interactive manner. Classical guarantees that accompany many statistical methods are often invalidated by their non-standard interactive use, resulting in an underestimated risk of falsely discovering correlations or patterns. It is a pressing challenge to upgrade existing tools, or create new ones, that are robust to involving a human-in-the-loop. In this talk, I will describe two new advances that enable some amount of interactivity while testing multiple hypotheses, and control the resulting selection bias. I will first introduce a new framework, STAR, that uses partial masking to divide the available information into two parts, one for selecting a set of potential discoveries, and the other for inference on the selected set. I will then show that it is possible to flip the traditional roles of the algorithm and the scientist, allowing the scientist to make post-hoc decisions after seeing the realization of an algorithm on the data. The theoretical basis for both advances is founded in the theory of martingales : in the first, the user defines the martingale and associated filtration interactively, and in the second, we move from optional stopping to optional spotting by proving uniform concentration bounds on relevant martingales.
This talk will feature joint work with (alphabetically) Rina Barber, Jianbo Chen, Will Fithian, Kevin Jamieson, Michael Jordan, Eugene Katsevich, Lihua Lei, Max Rabinovich, Martin Wainwright, Fanny Yang and Tijana Zrnic. Bio : Aaditya Ramdas is a postdoctoral researcher in Statistics and EECS at UC Berkeley, advised by Michael Jordan and Martin Wainwright. He finished his PhD in Statistics and Machine Learning at CMU, advised by Larry Wasserman and Aarti Singh, winning the Best Thesis Award in Statistics. A lot of his research focuses on modern aspects of reproducibility in science and technology — involving statistical testing and false discovery rate control in static and dynamic settings.

Nancy Smider, PhD, is the Director of Research Informatics at Epic. She focuses on Epic’s electronic health record system as an enabling and accelerating technology in support of the clinical research mission of organizations. Nancy also leads Epic’s annual Research Advisory Council conference which draws over 400 attendees from more than 150 of Epic’s customers, providing a broad perspective on the research-related efforts of leading healthcare organizations across the country, and globally. Nancy earned her PhD in 1993 from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She did her Post-Doctoral fellowship in health services research, after which she accepted a position as a Research Scientist at the University of Wisconsin, School of Medicine, where she continued her work as part of a multi-disciplinary team examining biopsychosocial models of health and disease. She joined Epic in 2001
Colleagues:
Yale Law School and Yale Cancer Center are hosting an all-star conference on the Policy, Politics and Law of Cancer on Thursday, February 8th and Friday, February 9th at Yale Law School.
Speakers include Harold Varmus, Siddhartha Mukherjee, Ned Sharpless, Levi Garraway and many others. We thought this gathering would be of special interest to members of the Combined Program in the Biological and Biomedical Sciences and we would be delighted if you wished to join us.

APPLIED MATH/ANALYSIS SEMINAR
Speaker: Guy Gilboa, Faculty of electrical engineering, Technion
Date: Thursday, December 7, 2017
Time: 4:00 p.m. Refreshments (AKW, 1st Floor Break Area)
4:15p.m. Seminar (AKW 400)
Title: Processing images using nonlinear transforms
Abstract: Recent studies of convex functionals and their related nonlinear eigenvalue problems show surprising analogies to harmonic analysis based on classical transforms (e.g. Fourier). In this talk the total-variation transform will be introduced along with some theoretical results. Applications related to image decomposition, texture processing and face fusion will be shown. Extensions to graphs and a new interpretation of gradient descent will also be discussed.

Please join the project team for the quarterly Yale Science Building Town Hall on Monday, December 11th at 4pm in Sloane Physics Lab 59. This project update meeting will include a review of upcoming work inside the Kline Biology Tower lobby over the winter break, and work adjacent to Kline Biology Tower moving in to the new year.
A new Town Hall Meeting has been posted to the Yale Science Building project website. Please visit http://yalesciencebuilding.yale.edu/ to view.
My first glance was "Chengfei Yan" for "Yifan Cheng" and was quite surprised…
They look alike in some way 🙂

Dear all,
We are pleased to announce that the Biophysics and Structural Biology Symposium will be returning for its 5th iteration next month on Wednesday, October 18th at the Yale West Campus Conference Center. We have a very exciting group of speakers lined up this year and hope you can attend! Please view the event schedule (also attached) and register to attend at this link.
Additionally, new to this year, we are excited to feature talk slots for student speakers. These talks will be 10 minutes followed by 5 minutes of questions. Students interested in presenting are encouraged to submit an abstract here. The deadline for abstract submission is September 20th. Thank you and we are excited to have you all at the symposium!
