GESTAR II Seminar Series, March 14th at 11am
Join us for a virtual seminar by Dr. Yixin ‘Berry’ Wen, Department of Geography, University of Florida. Her talk is titled "Creating synergy between satellite and radar precipitation measurements aided by symbolic deep learning."

Date and Time: Thursday, March 14, 2024 at 11:00am EST
Join us via Teams.

Abstract: 
"Ground-based polarimetric radars - WSR-88D network in the US - underpin nationwide precipitation observations and estimates with advanced Doppler capability. Alternatively, spaceborne radar - GPM DPR (Global Precipitation Measures Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar) - has an unprohibited downward view and higher vertical resolution, relative to ground-based radars. The synergy between space-borne and ground-based radars combined with AI/ML creates promising opportunities for observing and probing three-dimensional clouds and precipitation structures. However, it is a prerequisite to fully understand and quantify the similarities and differences between the WSR-88D and GPM DPR.

The first half of the talk will focus on the nationwide comparisons at 140 WSR-88D radar sites from 2014 to 2020. Systematic differences are found across the ground radar sites with an average of ~ 2 dB. The recently updated DPR version 7 product improves rain detection and attenuation corrections, effectively reducing the overall average WSR-88D and DPR reflectivity differences to 1.0 dB.

The second half of the talk will focus on polarimetric radar quantitative estimation (QPE) using AI/ML methods. Conventional parametric radar QPE algorithms such as the radar reflectivity and rain rate relations cannot fully represent clouds and precipitation dynamics. Recent years have seen the application of Deep Learning methods to improve QPE products. However, the 'black box' nature of deep learning poses challenges in understanding the underlying physical meaning. In contrast, symbolic learning, a branch of artificial intelligence, utilizes symbols to represent knowledge in a clear and interpretable manner. The presentation will showcase our preliminary findings from our exploration of neural network and and symbolic learning approaches for polarimetric radar QPE."

Here in The Gathering Space for Spiritual Well-Being, we are preparing for a busy Spring Holiday Season. Within the next 4-6 weeks, students and student organizations on our campus will be celebrating a large variety of religious holidays, including (but not limited to) Passover, Ramadan Easter, and Holi.  As we approach this time of feasting, fasting, and holidays with deep significance for many in our community, this (rather long) email shares the ways that The Gathering Space is working to help host, work with, and celebrate students as they live into their spiritual and religious identities.

1) Gathering Space Hours will be adjusted during this Spring Holiday Season to accommodate student needs. During these increased hours, students will have access to CWB 103 (The Gathering Space), CWB 101, CWB 109, and the Lounge in the CWB. Here are the hours from Sunday, March 26th through Saturday, April 22. During this time, please do your best to share space, help clean after celebrations, and engage each other with generous questions and listening. 
Space Hours
Sunday, Mar 10th: 12:00pm to Friday, Mar 15, 11:59pm
                       CWB is open 24 Hours

      *Space Closed for Spring Break (March 16-23)

    A) Ramadan
Ramadan begins today, Sunday, March 10th and will end Thursday, April 11th. To meet the needs of students breaking their fast and evening taraweeh prayers, CWB 103 (The Gathering Space) will be open during the times below. Campus Dining Services has made increased halal and suhoor food options available. Please see the attached flyer for more information. Food will also be available for suhoor in the kitchenette in The Gathering Space: Please reserve this food for community members wishing to eat before fasting.

     i) For more information about iftars, events, please check out information and events posted on Instagram and/or MyUMBC hosted by the Muslim Student Association, Ahlul-Bayt Student Association, or the Ahmadiyya Muslim Students Association for Women.
     ii) Taraweeh on Campus in The Gathering Space after Isha each night 
     iii) Open Iftar on Monday, May 25th @ 7:00pm in the Skylight Room
        
B) Holi 
Holi will take place on Monday, March 25th, but is being celebrated on campus by the Hindu Students Council on Saturday, Mar 30th on Erickson Field at 1:00pm. From HSC's advertisement: Join UMBC HSC in celebrating Holi - the festival of colors. There will be free food, colors, and music! The event is open to everyone, we hope to see you there!" Check out HSC's instagram for more information!

3) Shared Events/Open Invitation (MARK THESE ON YOUR CALENDAR!)
Though many events during this holiday season are open to UMBC community members, two events are specifically aimed at bringing students, staff, and faculty together to learn, share food, and celebrate these Spring Holidays. Centering the values of Radial Love & Belonging and Energetic Pluralism that underlie the community that we are building in the Gathering Space, you are invited to:
     
 I) Open Iftar in the Commons Skylight Room on Monday, March 25th @7:00pm; Come join UMBC's Muslim students by breaking the fast together! (Co-sponsored by i3b)

II) Join HSC for Holi on Saturday, March 30th from 1:00-6:00pm on Erickson Field! (with support by The Gathering Space)

4) Lastly, keep your eyes tuned to i3b's Instagram Account (@umbci3b) and our MyUMBC page for a series showcasing how students at UMBC are engaging with these Spring Holidays called "This is How I [Holiday]."

May this sacred time bring moments of rejuvenation, rebirth, charity, connection and hope as we welcome warmer weather, learn from one another, and embrace the energy of our shared, interfaith community.

See you around The Gathering Space!

March 28

Have you wondered how to use AI tools for course and assessment design, but weren’t sure where to get started? What if you could begin by opening your Blackboard Ultra course? 

The Blackboard Ultra AI Design Assistant, available to instructors since December 2023, supports course and assessment design by providing suggestions for course structure, images, assessment questions, and rubrics. 

Join Instructional Technology for a 45-minute session to explore the AI Course Design Assistant Tools for assessment in Ultra courses. Learn how to use Ultra AI tools to create and develop test questions and rubrics while exploring opportunities for authentic assessment. Use the new AI Context Picker to specify which course content items should inform generated test questions.

You can get more information here and, if you have a UMBC account, register for the event.
