DESCRIPTION:Join us for our online seminar series event hosted by MIT Medi
 a Lab's Advancing Humans with AI (AHA) research program. This event featur
 es Ziv Epstein\, Postdoctoral Associate at the MIT Schwarzman College of C
 omputing.\n\nThis session is a bonus addition to the AHA Seminar series\, 
 held in person on Friday\, September 18\, from 10:00 to 11:00 AM ET at the
  MIT Media Lab\, 6F Lecture Hall 633 (E14-633)\, and streamed live online.
  It is co-hosted by Prof. Karrie Karahalios and AHA.\n\nTalks are all reco
 rded and made available afterwards on YouTube\, linked on each event webpa
 ge.\n\nAbstract\n\nAlgorithmic amplifiers like social media and AI chatbot
 s play an increasingly important role in how our society operates. But des
 pite being built with noble intentions\, these algorithmic systems have de
 monstrated a fundamental misalignment with their users' values: resulting 
 in the amplification of low-quality information designed to reward\, hack 
 and sensationalize. In this talk\, I'll discuss new ways to measure and st
 eer algorithmic systems to align them with users' values. In a first serie
 s of lab and field experiments in the context of sharing misinformation on
  social media\, I show that this can be mitigated by steering behavior via
  reminding people of their own values. In a second project\, I introduce a
  novel personalization architecture for measuring the expression of basic 
 human values. I will then apply it to a large-scale audit of X's ranking a
 lgorithm to reveal how subtle value tensions in users' engagement behavior
  produces a fundamental misalignment between algorithmic amplification and
  user's self-stated values. To close\, I will discuss ongoing work on alig
 ning AI systems for collective goals of diversity and autotelicity\, focus
 ing on the domain of human creativity and creative production.\n\nBio\n\nZ
 iv Epstein is a computer scientist\, designer\, and computational social s
 cientist\, and a SERC Postdoctoral Associate at the MIT Schwarzman College
  of Computing\, where he runs the Medium is the Mess SERC Group. He was pr
 eviously a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Human-Centere
 d AI and completed his PhD at the MIT Media Lab. His research brings a (mo
 re-than-)human-centered approach to sociotechnical systems\, translating i
 nsights from design and the social sciences into generative AI and social 
 media platforms\, with current work on embedding individual and societal v
 alues into ranking algorithms.

DESCRIPTION:The treatment of public and private spaces as commodities has 
 a long and varied history across geographies the world over\, and scholars
  of capitalism tend to treat it as an economic and social formation charac
 terized in terms of production\, labor relations\, and exploitation. But t
 here has been far less attention given to the commodification of land and 
 housing as sites of social reproduction\, in other words\, the spaces of h
 ome\, neighborhood\, and community through which everyday life is sustaine
 d. Unlike spaces of production (e.g.\, the workplace)\, it is in communiti
 es and homes that domestic work\, care work\, and mutual aid take place. B
 ut the socially reproductive function of these sites is jeopardized by pro
 cesses of commodification that reshape the city. So\, we ask: what does th
 e transformation of land and shelter into investible real estate mean for 
 city governance\, urban development\, housing rights movements\, and the l
 ived experience of city residents? And what are the effects of capitalist 
 processes such as privatization\, financialization\, assetization\, and te
 chnification/digitalization on spaces of social reproduction? \n\nThis wor
 kshop will bring together an interdisciplinary group of scholars from MIT 
 — and outside MIT — for the following sessions:\n\n10:00-10:30 | Works
 hop welcome and introductions\n\n10:30-12:30 | Financialization\, Technifi
 cation\, and Futurity in Real Estate\, moderated by Jason Jackson and feat
 uring conversation with Philip Ashton (UIC)\, Desiree Fields (UC Berkeley)
 \, Huma Gupta (MIT)\, and Rachel Weber (Harvard).\n\n2:00-3:30 | Debt and 
 Transformations in Economic and Urban Governance\, moderated by Erica C. J
 ames and featuring conversation with devin michelle bunten (MIT)\, Prentis
 s Dantzler (UToronto)\, Michael Glass (Boston College)\, and Sarah Quinn (

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sam Gunn (MIT)\n\nTitle: Efficient deletion of data f
 rom trained AI models\n\nAbstract: How does the choice of training data in
 fluence an \nAI model? This question is of central importance to \ninterpr
 etability\, privacy\, data attribution\, and basic \nscience. At its core 
 is the data deletion problem: \nafter a reasonable amount of precomputatio
 n\, \nquickly predict how the model would behave if a \ngiven subset of tr
 aining data had been deleted.\nI will present a data deletion scheme capab
 le of \npredicting model outputs to arbitrary precision. A \nbound on the 
 error can be derived from a simple \nassumption about the stability of the
  AI model. In \ncontrast to the assumptions made by prior work\, \nours ap
 pears to be fully compatible with deep \nlearning. We believe that this me
 thod opens up a \nrange of new possibilities for theory in AI. For \ninsta
 nce\, it gives the first ‘machine unlearning’ \nscheme with provable s
 ecurity in the deep learning \nsetting.\n\n \n\nBased on my recent work 
 “How to sketch a learning \nalgorithm” at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2604.0
 7328.\n\n \n\nBiography: Sam is a new CLE Moore Instructor at MIT. He was 
 \nadvised by Umesh Vazirani for his PhD at UC \nBerkeley. He is interested
  in studying the foundations \nof AI using ideas from cryptography and the
 oretical \ncomputer science.

 s Postdoctoral Fellow\, Steven Flavell Laboratory\, Picower Institute for 
 Learning and Memory\, MIT\n\n \n\nTalk title: The Connectome in Use: From 
 anatomical wiring to functional organization in the behaving C. elegans br
 ain\n\nAbstract: A connectome is a map of possible interactions \, not a r
 ecord of how those possibilities are used by a behaving nervous system. Sy
 naptic efficacy\, electrical coupling\, neuromodulation\, and internal sta
 te continually reshape which anatomical pathways contribute to ongoing act
 ivity. The same wiring diagram can therefore support different dynamical r
 egimes\, while similar population dynamics can arise through different cir
 cuit routes. The central challenge is to understand how anatomical connect
 ivity is expressed as functional organization.\n\n \n\nC. elegans makes it
  possible to examine this problem across an entire nervous system at cellu
 lar resolution. Its neurons can be identified across animals\, multiple la
 yers of its connectome have been mapped\, and brain-wide activity can be r
 ecorded during natural behavior. Using recordings from more than 150 freel
 y moving animals\, we train cross-animal models to predict each neuron’s
  activity from the rest of the population and derive cell-class-resolved m
 aps of conditional functional dependence. We use these maps to ask which r
 elationships generalize across individuals\, how shared low-dimensional br
 ain states contribute to apparent interactions\, and where the remaining s
 tructure aligns with chemical synapses\, gap junctions\, and peptidergic s
 ignaling. These maps provide a quantitative description of the functional 
 organization reproducibly expressed in whole-brain activity—and of the s
 elective and imperfect imprint of anatomy upon it.\n\n \n\nThis work estab
 lishes a baseline against which perturbations can be read: activation and 
 silencing of identified neurons\, manipulation of neuromodulatory systems\
 , and mutations in conserved autism-associated synaptic genes can each be 
 used to test how defined changes to circuit components reorganize brain-wi
 de functional dependencies and behavior.

DESCRIPTION:Women\, Spinning\, and Resistance: Stacey Fraser \nIn the year
 s leading up to the American Revolution\, New England women played an impo
 rtant role in resisting British policies through their everyday lives and 
 work. On August 31\, 1769\, forty-five women in Lexington\, Massachusetts\
 , gathered for a spinning protest—one of more than sixty such demonstrat
 ions held throughout New England between 1768 and 1770. By spinning wool a
 nd linen yarn together\, these women demonstrated their ability to produce
  the textiles needed by their families while rejecting reliance on importe
 d British goods. \nJoin Stacey Fraser for a fascinating look at how women 
 used their social roles\, domestic skills\, and community networks to part
 icipate in the growing resistance to British rule. Discover how these seem
 ingly everyday acts of spinning and boycotting became powerful forms of pr
 otest in the years leading up to the American Revolutionary War. \nAbout t
 he Speaker:\nStacey Fraser is Assistant Curator at the Scottish Rite Mason
 ic Museum & Library in Lexington\, Massachusetts. She recently curated an 
 exhibition exploring Lexington’s role in the American Revolution and cha
 ired the museum’s 50th anniversary committee. Stacey also serves on the 
 advisory board of LexSeeHer\, a Lexington nonprofit dedicated to making wo
 men visible in history. Previously\, she served as Curator and Outreach Ma
 nager at Lexington History Museums and as Co-Director and Educator at the

 the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?\nOne of the world’s
  most popular music genres\, “house” is an electronic dance music genr
 e that emerged in Chicago in the late 70s/early 80s following the disco er
 a. The term “house” was derived from The Warehouse\, a Chicago club wh
 ere the music was often played. Though the essence of the dance is purely 
 freestyle\, popular steps performed in NYC dance clubs were eventually rec
 ognized as “house dance foundation.” Members of NYC’s Dance Fusion w
 ere the first to teach house dance\, which contributed greatly to house be
 coming a worldwide phenomenon. \nWhat background\, training\, and or relat
 ionship do you have with this style/technique/class subject?\nA master Tae
 kwondo-ist and professional dancer\, Sean began dancing in the year 2000\,
  and was formally introduced to house dance by Boston native Ricardo Foste
 r Jr in 2007. For years\, Sean sought opportunities to learn from and trai
 n under many house dance teachers including Jardy Santiago\, members of NY
 C’s Dance Fusion\, and Edson Gonzaga who helped unlock Sean’s understa
 nding of house music and develop his own personal dance style. Since 2013 
 Sean has been an active member of Boston’s underground club scene after 
 meeting Boston house OGs such as Sammy Savuth and DJ Bruno. \nBy combining
  proven analytical martial arts teaching methods with his experience in ho
 use clubs\, Sean aims to help students from around the world understand & 
 appreciate the lineage of house dance its music and how they can continue 
 to contribute to house’s underground club lineage. \nFinish this stateme
 nt: I am passionate about teaching this style because…\n…House is medi
 cine for the mind\, body and soul. Nothing gets people moving like house m
 usic. I constantly see house music transform a room of people from stillne
 ss to a fever pitch. \n\nHow can students learn more about this offering?\

DESCRIPTION:Matt Brewer's Dissertation Defense. Open to members of the phi
 losophy department. \nTitle: "Towards a Philosophy of Plate Tectonics: Plu
 ralism in Explanation\, Evidence\, and Classification"\n\nAbstract:\n\nThi
 s dissertation contributes to the traditionally neglected\, but now rapidl
 y growing\, field of philosophy of the geosciences by providing a philosop
 hical analysis of the many forms of pluralism that shape scientific practi
 ce in plate tectonics. Geoscientists studying plate tectonics face numerou
 s epistemic challenges\, but these challenges make the theory ripe for phi
 losophical analysis. I examine three such epistemic challenges in the cent
 ral chapters of this dissertation\, and I argue that each challenge calls 
 for a distinct form of scientific pluralism\, which I assess for its metho
 dological strengths and weaknesses.\n\nAfter introducing plate tectonics a
 nd motivating the philosophical relevance of the project in the first chap
 ter\, in chapter 2\, I take a history of philosophy of science (HOPOS) app
 roach to uncover a variety of different forms of scientific pluralism from
  the methodological writings of a key 19th century figure in the history o
 f the geosciences\, Thomas C. Chamberlin\, whose work is largely unknown t
 o philosophers of science. Although Chamberlin does not use the language o
 f pluralism\, I use his so-called Method of Multiple Working Hypotheses (a
 nd later variations on this method) as a foundation for articulating three
  varieties of scientific pluralism.  In the subsequent chapters\, I show h
 ow the three varieties of pluralism emerge within central debates in conte
 mporary plate tectonics.\n\nI address the first debate in chapter 3\, whic
 h concerns the role of mechanistic explanation in the rejection of contine
 ntal drift and in the acceptance of plate tectonics\, and how the mechanis
 m(s) driving plate tectonics remain unresolved to this day. The epistemic 
 challenge here is the inaccessibility of the interior of the Earth\, and t
 he different ways the mechanistic components of the processes driving plat
 e tectonics can be carved up. The philosophical strategy that emerges is a
  nonintegrative explanatory pluralism\, which I show to be compatible with
  metaphysical monism.\n\nIn chapter 4\, I turn to another scientific debat
 e in plate tectonics: the timing of the onset of tectonic plate motion in 
 the history of the Earth. The epistemic challenge here is the inaccessibil
 ity of deep time\, as such\, my discussion draws on recent work in the phi
 losophy of the historical sciences. I argue that the debate about timing t
 urns on a plurality of approaches to the nature of evidence\, and specific
 ally whether or not absence of evidence should be taken as evidence of abs
 ence. While the standard answer says “no\,” I defend what I call a pra
 gmatic approach to the absence of evidence\, which is based in a pluralism
  about evidential standards.\nIs plate tectonics unique to Earth or does i
 t occur on other planets or moons within our solar system and beyond? The 
 epistemic challenge here is the inaccessibility of distant worlds\, and it
  poses what I call in chapter 5 the “tectonic N = 1 Problem\,” in anal
 ogy with the uniqueness of life on Earth. I argue that this issue also tur
 ns on how scientists choose to define plate tectonics\, and how broadly or
  narrowly the classificatory categories are construed. For example\, the m
 ovement of ice on Jupiter’s moon Europa satisfies some ways of defining 
 plate tectonics\, but not others. For the sake of making progress on this 
 issue\, I defend a classificatory or taxonomic pluralism.\n\nFinally\, in 
 a brief concluding chapter\, I assess the project as a contribution to a n
 ovel “philosophy of plate tectonics\,” summarizing the key scientific 
 debates within plate tectonics and the many different forms of scientific 
 pluralism they prescribe. I conclude by opening the door for future work d
 rawing on another element of Chamberlin’s philosophy – pragmatism – 
 in the project of developing a philosophy of the geosciences\, of which th
 is dissertation on the philosophy of plate tectonics is a part.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mrityunjay Kothari\, University of New HampshireTitle
 : Multi-Physics Mechanics of Soft Materials in Complex Environments\n\nAbs
 tract: Soft materials are making the transition from controlled lab enviro
 nments to real-world scenarios\, suchas flexible batteries\, bioartificial
  organs\, implantable biomedical devices\, and soft robotics. In real-worl
 denvironments\, soft materials will inevitably face a broad set of thermod
 ynamic driving forces— thermal\,chemical\, electric\, and magnetic—tha
 t strongly couple with their mechanical behavior. For instance\,changes in
  temperature can degrade a material’s ability to sustain mechanical load
 s\, quenching cantrigger phase separation and microstructure reorganizatio
 n\, and mechanical loading may enhancetransport or chemical reactivity. Th
 erefore\, to successfully enable the use of soft materials fortransformati
 ve applications\, it is crucial to develop a fully coupled description of 
 their response tocomplex environments. In this talk\, I will discuss two r
 esearch projects that model multi-physics couplings in soft materials and 
 demonstrate the fundamental role of multi-physics mechanics in biology and
  engineering. First\, I will discuss our work explaining how cells expertl
 y combine multiple driving forces to organize their internal materials int
 o membraneless compartments\, and how the same fundamental mechanics can b
 e applied towards the design of novel materials. I will then turn to cryop
 reservation\, a frontier with transformative potential for human health: i
 n the U.S. alone\, approximately 17 patients die each day awaiting an orga
 n transplant\, a crisis driven by the inability to store organs long-term.
  A primary failure mechanism is the severe thermo-mechanical damage tissue
 s sustain during freezing. I will present our recent work on predictive mo
 deling of freezing-induced damage in soft materials\, which can serve as a
  powerful tool for understanding the mechanistic underpinnings of the resu
 lting injury and for designing improved cryopreservation strategies.\n\nBi

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ilya Dumanski (SLMath)\n\nTitle: Chiralization of int
 egrable systems\n\nAbstract: Given a symplectic variety X\, one can define
  its chiral quantization — a sheaf of vertex algebras\, which deforms th
 e jet bundle of X. The study of such structures is motivated by mathematic
 al physics. Classification\, or even construction\, of chiral quantization
 s is a hard problem\, with a lot of recent progress. In this talk\, we add
 ress this problem in the case when X is a smooth completely integrable sys
 tem. We use the method of formal geometry (as applied by Fedosov and Bezru
 kavnikov—Kaledin in the study of ordinary quantizations) to construct ch
 iral quantizations in this case. Then we discuss the possibility of chiral
 izing the BFN Coulomb branches using this technique.\n\nZoom: https://mit.

 ffiliation: Professor\, MIT Mechanical Engineering\n\n \n\nTalk title: Fab
 rication-Integrated Design for Mechanical Systems Made from Unconventional
  Materials\n\n \n\nAbstract: \nFabrication history can fundamentally deter
 mine the geometry\, interfaces\, defects\, reliability\, and performance o
 f mechanical systems. The Fabrication-Integrated Design Lab (FIDL) at MIT 
 extends concepts from traditional Design for Manufacturing (DFM) to explor
 e how the performance of structures and machines emerges from the coupled 
 interaction of design\, materials\, and fabrication processes. In developi
 ng mechanical systems made from unconventional materials\, from soft robot
 s for deep-sea exploration to glass masonry\, we treat manufacturing as a 
 central variable in the design and development process. Through examples i
 n soft robotics\, I will show how fabrication-aware computational design\,
  new molding processes\, and materials-selection and interface-processing 
 strategies can expand accessible design spaces and improve reliability. I 
 will also demonstrate how these ideas enable system-level integration of s
 ensing\, mechanical programming\, and untethered power. Finally\, I will e
 xtend these principles to additive manufacturing with recycled glass\, ill
 ustrating how fabrication-integrated thinking can bridge seemingly dispara
 te material systems and contribute to broader frameworks for designing rel
 iable mechanical systems whose behavior is inseparable from how they are m
 ade. \n\n \n\nBiography:\nKaitlyn Becker is an assistant professor in the 
 Mechanical Engineering Department at MIT\, holds a class of 1948 Career De
 velopment Professorship\, and leads the Fabrication-Integrated Design Lab

 pulation from the desktop to the deep sea and focuses on novel soft roboti
 c platforms that add functionality through innovations at the intersection
  of design and fabrication. Her soft robots have explored oceans depths do
 wn to 3.5km and were featured on the covers of the journals Soft Robotics 
 and Advanced Functional Materials\, and in the Unseen Oceans special exhib
 it in the American Natural History Museum. She was a recipient of the Ruth
