Supervision in Machine Learning

Supervision in machine learning refers to the level of guidance provided to models through labeled data during training. The main types of supervision are supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, and self-supervised learning. Supervised Learning: Models are trained on labeled data, where each input has an associated output label. This approach is widely used for classification and regression tasks, as it directly optimizes model performance for specific outcomes. Unsupervised Learning: Models learn patterns from unlabeled data, seeking to uncover structures like clusters or reduce dimensionality. Common applications include clustering and anomaly detection. Semi-Supervised Learning: Combines a small amount of labeled data with a larger pool of unlabeled data, allowing models to improve accuracy by leveraging the structure of both labeled and unlabeled data. Self-Supervised Learning: A form of unsupervised learning where models create their own labels from the data itself to learn useful representations. Contrastive Learning is a popular technique here, where models learn by distinguishing between similar and dissimilar data points, often used to pre-train models for image, text, and audio tasks.

Dr. Lynn Schreyer Seminar: Compartment Models with Memory

The beauty and simplicity of compartment modeling makes it a useful approach for simulating dynamics in an amazingly wide range of applications, including pharmacokinetics (where e.g. a liver is considered a compartment), global carbon cycling (different depths of soils are considered compartments), and epidemiology and population dynamics. These contexts, however, often involve compartment-to-compartment flows that are physically incongruent with the conventional assumption of complete mixing that results in exponential residence times in linear models.

Mentoring and the Dissertation Process

Among the most consequential documents that writers produce in graduate school is the dissertation. Strong mentoring at specific critical junctures in the dissertation process can strengthen both the document itself and graduate students’ abilities to later support their own graduate students. Unfortunately, most faculty receive little to no training about the writing instruction central to the dissertation process, from invention to final deposit. Instead, they rely upon their own experiences producing a doctoral thesis, which might have been problematic and trauma producing or wonderful yet still mystifying. This workshop incorporates current research on graduate student writing and builds on insights about graduate student struggles that the Writing Lab gains through working with dissertation writers.

Based on Dr. Doumont’s book “Trees, maps, and theorems” discussing effective communication strategies for rational minds, this lecture proposes a systematic way to prepare and deliver presentations. Among other topics, it covers structure, slides, and delivery, as well as stage fright.
