Applied Mathematics Seminar

Conference/Seminar

Title: Integrating genetic and environmental data to model and forecast movement and habitat use in the major insect vector of sleeping sickness in Uganda (Glossina fuscipes fuscipes).

Speaker: Norah Saarman, Biology Department, USU

ZOOM ID: 945 1753 3441 PWD: USUAMS

Abstract: Tsetse flies (genus Glossina) are the obligate vectors of the trypanosome parasite that cause animal nagana and human sleeping sickness. One of the most effective strategies in controlling these dangerous and costly diseases is through vector control. Establishing feasible programs that reduce on-the-ground disease risk require knowledge of vector movement and habitat use. We use a novel machine learning strategy based on genetic data, field records, and remotely-sensed environmental data to model and predict both vector movement and habitat use across the landscape.

“Challenging Expertise: When Specialization Meets Democracy” by Dr. Jamie Watson

Conference/Seminar

Expertise is a problem for democracy. Democratic processes give every view equal weight, but experts tell us that their views are better than others. Democratic processes presume individuals are the best judge of their own interests, but experts tell us that we often act against our own interests. Can we resolve this tension and save both democracy and expertise? I will explain three ways that philosophers and political theorists suggest we should understand the relationship between expert and non-expert citizens. Then I will describe some features of expertise that may point to a new solution to problem of expertise for democracy.

Applied Mathematics Seminar: A Gentle Introduction to Computational Statistical Catallactics

Conference/Seminar

Speaker: Tyler J. Brough, Jon M. Huntsman School of Business

ZOOM ID: 945 1753 3441 PWD: USUAMS

Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce you to the catallactic point of view of the Nobel Prize winners F.A. Hayek and James Buchanan. I will further discuss directions that I am now taking in my research agenda to deliver on Buchanan's challenge to create a sophisticated catallactics within economics. I will discuss how we can develop tools from the Agent-Based Computational Economics (ACE) tradition that are appropriate for this purpose. We will confront the critique of ACE models put forth by Steven Durlauf and offer ways to address this critique. I will discuss my current research into the options market-making function of derivatives markets as an application of these methods.

“Gamification and Value Capture” by Dr. Thi Ngyuen

Conference/Seminar

Value capture occurs when an agent’s values are rich and subtle; they enter a social environment that presents simplified — typically quantified — versions of those values; and those simplified articulations come to dominate their practical reasoning. Examples include becoming motivated by FitBit’s step counts, Twitter Likes and Retweets, citation rates, ranked lists of best schools, and Grade Point Averages. Value capture poses several threats. First, it threatens to change the goals of our activities, in a way that often threatens to undermine the value of those activities. Second, in value capture, we take a central component of our autonomy — our ongoing deliberation over the exact articulation of our values — and we outsource it. That outsourcing cuts off one of the key benefits to personal deliberation. In value capture, we no longer adjust our values and their articulations in light of own rich experience of the world. Our values should be carefully tailored to our particular selves, but in value capture, we buy our values off the rack.
