Fri 02 May 16:00: Connecting scales in the SMEFT at the LHC and future colliders
Given the absence of direct evidence for new resonances beyond the Standard Model at the LHC so far, a complementary strategy to search for new physics in an indirect way is provided by the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). Global interpretations within the SMEFT framework, including their matching to UV-complete models, involve energy scales spanning several orders of magnitude. In this talk, I will demonstrate how to relate these measurements among them in terms of a common energy scale as enabled by the Renormalisation Group Equations. I will then quantify their impact in a global SMEFT fit to LEP and LHC data, presenting results in terms of SMEFT parameters as well as UV couplings. Finally, I will show a brief application to the Higgs self-coupling using projected data from the HL-LHC and the FCC -ee.

Fri 09 May 14:00: Extrapolation-aware statistical machine learning
Nonparametric function estimation and prediction with moderate or large dimension of the covariates are particularly susceptible to extrapolation, because data points are typically far apart from each other in such moderate or higher dimension. Thus, there is a need to have machine learning methods that are extrapolation-aware, i.e. that automatically perform well (in a sense) when extrapolation occurs. Without such extrapolation-aware techniques, inference from standard machine learning and nonparametric procedures may be poor or invalid. We introduce a novel conceptual framework and introduce Xtrapolation which allows for extrapolation-aware inference with any ML algorithm.

Tue 13 May 16:00: No One Left Behind: Building Low-Cost Wearables for Health Equity Zoom: https://cam-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/84016051221?pwd=TmAESuU8bWf3VDhZV1AuPb5CejZgJq.1
Abstract: Wearable devices such as Apple Watch and Fitbit wristband allow users to track their health statistics around the clock. They have become increasingly popular over the past few years. However, in the context of underdeveloped regions where people may earn less than 5 US dollars a day, these wearable devices are still pricey and thus constitute a critical bottleneck in their adoption. In this talk, I will present our past and ongoing works on repurposing electronic wastes, particularly everyday earphones into health trackers – from heart rate monitoring, heart sound recovery, all the way down to pulse wave velocity estimation. Moreover, I will summarize our observations and insights gained from the pilot study at Senegal. I believe this research creates a holistic approach toward recycling and repurposing electronic waste while fostering a sustainable and equitable future.
