SUMMARY:Santa Cruz Pickwick Club presents: Christie Mysteries
DESCRIPTION:Over the coming year\, Dickens Universe readers and Pickwick Club members will meet for discussions focused on these novels and their lasting influence on the mystery genre. This year’s reading series brings together four landmark works of crime fiction: The Mystery of Edwin Drood by Charles Dickens (Penguin Classics\, 2002)\, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie (William Morrow\, 2021)\, The Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie (William Morrow\, 2025)\, and The Pale Horse by Agatha Christie (William Morrow\, 2011). Join Dickens enthusiasts and Pickwick Club members on Zoom for a series of discussions about these beloved books. \nRegister via Zoom \nReading Schedule:  \n\nSept 27: The Murder of Roger Ackroyd\nOct 25: The Pale Horse\nNov 22: The Murder at the Vicarage\nDec 27: The Mystery of Edwin Drood\nJan 24: The Mystery of Edwin Drood\nFeb 28: The Mystery of Edwin Drood\nMar 28: The Mystery of Edwin Drood\nApr 25: TBD\nMay 23: TBD\nJun 27: TBD\n\nRecommended Edition: We recommend the Penguin Classics edition of the novels for its appendices and notes\, but other versions are fine. First-time readers should avoid the Introduction if they don’t want spoilers. Download the novels to read at Gutenburg.org or listen at LibriVox.org. \nThe Santa Cruz Pickwick (Book) Club\, a branch of the Dickens Fellowship\, is a community of local bookworms\, students\, and teachers who meet monthly to discuss a nineteenth-century novel. The Santa Cruz Public Libraries provide support for the reading group.

SUMMARY:CSE Colloquium: Relational Attention for Data-Efficient Language Modeling
DESCRIPTION:Title: Relational Attention for Data-Efficient Language Modeling \nPresenter: Adrian Brasoveanu\, UCSC Linguistics (Joint work with Ece Takmaz and Jakub Dotlačil) \nAbstract: We present Relational BabyLM\, a system submission to the BabyLM 2026 challenge that combines two cognitively motivated inductive biases in a single decoder-only Transformer. Architecturally\, we replace standard self-attention with a Dual Attention Transformer (DAT)\, which separates the routing of object-level (“sensory”) lexical features from structural/relational information (Altabaa and Lafferty\, 2025; Altabaa et al.\, 2024; Webb et al.\, 2024; Kerg et al.\, 2022; Webb et al.\, 2021). Relational attention (RA) disentangled from self-attention greatly increases data efficiency and out-of-training-sample generalization on purely relational tasks\, but language modeling requires object-level and relational information to be integrated as well as disentangled\, and RA-based LMs have remained largely unexplored. BabyLM’s data-constrained training and comprehensive evaluation is an ideal testing ground for whether that data efficiency transfers. As a training intervention\, we add a Next-Latent Prediction (NextLat; Teoh et al. 2026) objective that encourages hidden states to compress history incrementally into a dense belief state. Architecture is the dominant factor for structural linguistic generalization; the objective is secondary but still significant. DAT’s three relational attention types (full RA vs. the simpler RCA and DisRCA variants) are largely interchangeable at 10M words; full RA pulls ahead at 100M. We also introduce a novel symbol-retrieval mechanism (RoPE-based\, as opposed to learned\, relative symbols) that matches learned symbol libraries while adding no parameters. On the strict (100M-word) track\, our best model ranks 6th of 55 overall and 3rd of 55 on the leaderboard’s NLP-task subset at the time of writing; our two strongest models outperform the GPT-2 baseline on most benchmarks\, with one attaining the highest EWoK score among strict-track entries. \nPaper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.20530 \nCode: https://github.com/abrsvn/babylm_dat_2026 \nBio: I am a  professor in computational (psycho)linguistics focusing largely on natural language semantics and pragmatics at UCSC. I was also associate campus provost (tout court for 2 years\, then of strategic initiatives for 1 year) in the UCSC EVC office between 2021 and 2024.  For some more of my recent work\, see https://github.com/abrsvn/. \nHosted by: Professor Daniel Fremont and Professor Leilani Gilpin \nDate and Time: Fridays from 2:40 – 3:45 pm \nLocation: Engineering 2\, Room E2-180 (Refreshments such as fruit\, pastries\, coffee\, and tea will be provided.) \nZoom Option: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/95300285113?pwd=62tnEPUtRrsmbW7SHTavaRbaF2afSr.1
