SUMMARY:Predictive Engineering and Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Humans make decisions and solve problems using heuristics (“thinking fast”) or abstract approaches such as modeling (“thinking slow”). Artificial intelligence approaches can similarly use either heuristics that are related to correlation and categorization\, or use models that are related to causation. Predictive Engineering\, which melds engineering modeling with probabilistic thinking\, aligns closely with causation and an aspect of artificial intelligence called Causal Learning. Issues with some artificial intelligence approaches will be explored\, with real (and sometimes controversial and provocative) examples\, and promising approaches encompassing causation /predictive engineering will be discussed.\n[]\nSpeaker(s): Eric Maass\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/445270

SUMMARY:To Cervantes with Love: Cervantine Blackness 
DESCRIPTION:Nicholas R. Jones (Assistant Professor\, Department of Spanish and Portuguese\, Yale University)\nThis presentation delves into the depths of Miguel de Cervantes’s portrayal of black Africans and sub-Saharan Africa in Nicholas R. Jones’s latest scholarly work\, Cervantine Blackness (Penn State UP\, 2024). With Cervantine Blackness\, Jones challenges entrenched paradigms and invites a reevaluation of the complexities surrounding racialized blackness and black social life in Cervantes’s literary corpus. By recalibrating the focus from conventional narratives of “agency” and “resistance” to a nuanced understanding of black subjects within Cervantes’s works\, Jones offers a systematic deconstruction of long-standing prejudices that seeks to forge new paths in literary and cultural criticism. This lecture will challenge its audience to rethink the portrayal of blackness in early modern literature writ large and\, more importantly\, its implications for contemporary discourse.\nRegistration Here
