Department seminar. Hans Henrik Sievertsen is a Professor at the Danish Center for Social Science Research (VIVE), and an Associate Professor at the Univeristy of Bristol School of Economics. He will present the paper "Saving neonatal lives at scale: lessons for targeting."
Earthquake, landslide, and glacier instabilities are multi-scale processes that cannot be predicted. When a rock is subjected to large stress, it can develop fractures that grow and connect to form a network. This network of fractures spans the entire rock right before it fails catastrophically. Despite extensive research on rock damage, researchers are still far from being able to predict when a rock will fail. Here, I will show how to use a multi-view convolutional neural network model to identify characteristics of a failing rock. By training a neural network model on images of rock samples exposed to different levels of stress, one can predict how close a rock is to failure. The neural network model outperforms traditional estimates based on fracture density. More importantly, the model provides fundamental insight that may offer precursory information on impending material failure. For instance, according to the model, the angle of the fracture plane relative to the principal loading direction becomes a key factor contributing to failure.

QOMBINE seminar by Roy Araiza (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
Archaeological Friday seminar with Taylor Peacock. Taylor is a PhD student in archaeology at the University of Cambridge and will be presenting:Thinking Through Bones: The Viking Age Cemetery of Kopparsvik.
Paola Gamboa will discuss her experience as a researcher and lecturer in the undergraduate and master’s programs of didactics of French as a foreign or second language at Sorbonne Nouvelle University. This presentation will focus on the complexity of implementing plurilingual teaching practices, necessary for the process of welcoming immigrant minors, in a country like France whose national linguistic policy is monolingual.

Jonas Gahr Sturtzel Lunde, Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, UiO.
Thomas Nagler is a Professor of Computational Statistics \& Data Science at the Department of Statistics, LMU Munich, and a principal investigator at the Munich Center for Machine Learning (MCML).
Previously, he held positions as an assistant professor at TU Delft and Leiden University, following a PhD in Mathematical Statistics from TU Munich.
His research lies at the intersection of mathematical and computational statistics. His group develops statistical methods, establishes theoretical guarantees, and designs scalable algorithms, which are packaged into user-friendly software. He also regularly collaborates with domain experts to tackle challenges in diverse application areas.
