The seminar will feature two proje cts from Jihyeon Bae and Hauke Schulz\, who participated in our 2024 Data Science Incubator program at the eScience Institute.\n2024 Spring Quarter seminars will be held in PAA A118 - campus map\n\n \;\n"Illuminating t he role of cold-pools in structuring shallow convection"\nAbstract: In ord er to develop a better parameterization of these clouds in our climate mod els\, we need to improve our understanding on how these different patterns of cloudiness form. Previous studies suggest that precipitation drastical ly influences these patterns\, in particular through the generation of so- called cold pools. These cold pools (marked in red in the satellite image) that are areas of cold air and form due to the evaporation of precipitati on are able to redistribute clouds by suppressing them within the cold poo l and generating new convection at their edges. The identification of thes e cold pools in satellite observations will provide valuable information t o better understand the formation of different cloud patterns and ultimate ly lead to an improved parameterization of shallow convection.\n\n\n"What do the leaders say? Analysis of the United Nations General Debate Corpus"\ nAbstract: In the first stage\, we pose a testable hypothesis: “How do d emocracies and autocracies frame the principle of sovereignty differently? ” Sovereignty is the most fundamental legal principle in the realm of gl obal governance\, developed to guarantee legally equal status among states and respect authority over territories. However\, authoritarian states ha ve invoked the sovereignty principle\, framing it as a free pass to enact any policies domestically. We aim to determine if there is any systematic difference in rhetorical usage between the two types of regimes\, using te xt analysis models. We use pre-trained static and dynamic models like GloV e and BERT to generate word-embeddings for each document.In the next stage \, we analyze not only what the leaders say\, but how they speak by employ ing computational linguistics models. Our goal is to unpack the preference s of authoritarian state leaders by mapping UNGD data to psychological mar kers. Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) generates dictionary-based measures of constructs that tap into linguistic styles. Using simple regre ssion and random forest model\, our prediction model hit 75% accuracy leve l of predicting regime type using linguistic features. This project is exp ected to contribute to the timely discussion on the growing political clou t of authoritarian regimes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe UW Data Science Seminar is an annual lecture series at the University of Washington that hosts schola rs working across applied areas of data science\, such as the sciences\, e ngineering\, humanities and arts along with methodological areas in data s cience\, such as computer science\, applied math and statistics. Our prese nters come from all domain fields and include occasional external speakers from regional partners\, governmental agencies and industry.\n\n \;\n \nThe 2023-2024 seminars will be held in person\, and are free and open to the public.\n\n LOCATION:Physics/Astronomy Auditorium\, room A118\, Seattle\, WA\, X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Seattle\, WA\, ;X-APPLE-RAD IUS=100;X-TITLE=Physics/Astronomy Auditorium\, room A118:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Los_Angeles X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Los_Angeles BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
