Dueling Pianos
The Office of Student Life invites campus to hear Dueling Pianos perform.
There will be free Buffalo Wild Wings.
Sunday Brunch Church
Campus Ministries invites students to Sunday Brunch Church.
The free meal is served in the chapel, and includes egg casserole, bacon, breakfast potatoes, fresh fruit and pastries.
Campus Ministries' invitation says: "When Jesus at the Last Supper said to remember him by eating a meal together, his followers took him seriously: They met each week for a full meal and conversation."

Rare Category Detection Using Semi-Supervised Active Learning
Dr. Rohan Loveland will present the research talk, "Finding Needles in Haystacks: Rare Category Detection Using Semi-Supervised Active Learning."
Description: Rare category detection addresses the problem of exploring data sets that are too large for unaided analysis. The Farpoint algorithm utilizes machine learning techniques to discover sparsely represented classes, through interactive queries and semi-supervised clustering.
Application of the algorithm to skewed MNIST datasets is used to empirically characterize performance.

Enabling High Performance Computing Insights via Monitoring and Analysis
Guest speaker Omar Aaziz will present "Enabling HPC Performance Insights via Monitoring and Analysis."
Description: During high performance computing (HPC) system acquisition, a significant consideration is given to the desired performance, which drives the selection of processing components, memory, interconnects, file systems, and more. The achieved performance, however, is highly dependent on operational conditions, applications, and workloads, of which the discovery and assessment are critical in practice.
As such, HPC system analysis has been a long-standing need for administrators to observe the health of their systems, detect abnormal conditions, and to take informed actions when restoring system health. Moreover, users strive to understand how well their jobs run and what are the architecture limits that restrict the performance of their jobs.
In my talk, I will present two research projects. I will introduce a methodology for modeling the expected runtime of an HPC job based on historical application data and data from the job itself using the Neural Network technique. This estimation model is useful for both HPC users and administrators as a metric to establish a measure of performance of the job.
I will then present a data-driven methodology to characterize the relationship between parent and proxy applications based on collecting runtime data from both and then using the data analytics to find their correspondence or divergence. I will explain how to measure the dynamic hardware behaviors and relationships between several parent and proxy application pairs and evaluate several different metrics over the time-varying behavior that are potentially useful for comparing real applications to their proxy counterparts

Shockingly Modern Saxophone Festival: Erin Rogers
New York-based saxophonist and composer Erin Rogers will close out the annual Shockingly Modern Saxophone Festival.
She is a Canadian-American composer, saxophonist, and performance artist dedicated to new and experimental music.
Her music has been described as “whimsical, theatrical” (Brooklyn Vegan), “a wild ride” (An Earful), and “so complex, it’s primitive.” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette).
Her work explores the intersection of chamber music, sound alchemy, and theatre, moving between acoustic and electronic worlds. She has performed worldwide as a soloist, chamber musician, and guest artist.
