SUMMARY:ISyE - From Dyads to Teams: Modeling Human Trust Dynamics and Behaviors in Human-Autonomy Interactions
DESCRIPTION:Technology is evolving rapidly\, and human interaction with autonomous technologies is no longer confined to one-to-one decision-support settings. Intelligent agents are increasingly working alongside groups of people in diverse contexts such as defense\, transportation\, and manufacturing. Consequently\, there is a growing need to design trust- and behavior-aware adaptive agents that allow humans and autonomous systems to leverage their complementary strengths\, while promoting values unique to human society. To this end\, our research focuses on modeling human trust and behavioral dynamics over time across various teaming scenarios. In this seminar\, I will first introduce our work on classifying and predicting trust dynamics profiles using individuals’ personal characteristics\, uncovering who exhibits which trust trajectory and why. I will then present a study examining individual variability in trust bias (contrast versus assimilation) and its effects on coordination and decision-making when humans collaborate with multiple autonomous agents simultaneously. This work further extends to understanding distinct perceptions and teamwork strategies in hierarchical mixed human-agent teams. Time permitting\, I will also discuss our research on the design of AI-supported emergency navigation systems that promote human altruism and trust.   \n\n\n\n\n\nBio: Hyesun Chung is a final-year Ph.D. candidate in Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan. She was recently named a Barbour Fellow and received the Student Member with Honors Award from the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES). Prior to joining the University of Michigan as a doctoral student\, she earned three bachelor’s degrees in Industrial Engineering\, Business\, and Industrial Design\, as well as an M.S. in Industrial Engineering\, all from Seoul National University in South Korea. Building on her interdisciplinary background\, she is a human factors engineer and human-computer interaction researcher who integrates computational and statistical methods with psychological theory to better understand and design human-AI interaction and teaming.

SUMMARY:ISyE - Finding the needle in the haystack: How gradient descent converges to low-dimensional solutions in over-parameterized models.
DESCRIPTION:In contemporary machine learning\, realistic models exhibit increasing nonconvexity and overwhelming overparameterization. This nonconvex nature often leads to numerous undesirable or “spurious” local solutions\, while overparameterization exacerbates the risk of overfitting. Yet\, simple “short-sighted” algorithms\, such as gradient descent (GD) or its variants\, often find the needle in the haystack: they converge to the correct\, low-dimensional solutions even when such structures are neither explicitly encoded in the model nor required by the algorithm. This talk delves into explaining this desirable performance of GD-based algorithms by studying their fine-grained trajectory on over-parameterized models\, spanning from low-rank models to deep neural networks.   \n\n\n\n\n\nBio: Salar Fattahi is an Assistant Professor of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan. He received his Ph.D. from the University of California\, Berkeley in 2020. He is the recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER Award and the Deans’ MLK Spirit Award. His research focuses on optimization and machine learning and has been recognized with multiple nominations and awards\, including the INFORMS Junior Faculty Interest Group Best Paper Award\, the INFORMS Data Mining Best Paper Award\, and the INFORMS Computing Society Best Student Paper Award. He currently serves as Vice Chair for Machine Learning in the INFORMS Optimization Society\, as an Associate Editor for the INFORMS Journal on Data Science\, and as an Area Chair for several premier conferences\, including NeurIPS\, ICML\, and ICLR.

SUMMARY:ISyE - Advancement of Large-Scale 3D Printing
DESCRIPTION:Most advances for the integration of 3D printing (3DP) into production settings have focused on small-scale 3DP with manufacturing of components such as aerospace fuel nozzles\, aircraft’s hydraulic components\, and military hardware to name a few. But when it comes to large-scale applications 3DP research has been minimally explored. Defining large-scale 3DP as additive manufacturing technologies aimed at applications such as remanufacturing of large components in aerospace\, automotive\, and agricultural industries\, to construction and infrastructure\, research in large-scale 3DP is nascent and needed. Alongside cost\, establishment of 3DP technologies for large-scale applications has been hindered by the interdisciplinarity required to identify technological design needs\, manufacturing\, validation\, and implementation of these technologies while securing safety standards. Therefore\, this presentation will discuss outcomes of studies revolving around industrial and manufacturing engineering practices that can contribute to advancing 3DP technologies for large-scale 3DP applications. Concluding remarks will suggest to opportunities that can lead to identification of interdisciplinary research collaborations to further advance the field. \n\n\n\n\n\nBio: Dr. Iris V. Rivero is the Paul and Heidi Brown Preeminent Chair and Department Chair of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Florida (UF). She received her B.S.\, M.S.\, and Ph.D. in Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering from Penn State University. Her research group\, iMED (Interdisciplinary Manufacturing Engineering and Design) laboratory\, specializes in the design and validation of additive and hybrid manufacturing techniques for the processing of a wide array of material systems ranging from biopolymers\, metal alloys\, to concrete.
