SUMMARY:Visualizing Abolition Screening Series: Beyond Access
DESCRIPTION:On view in the IAS Screening Room is a selection of short films curated by Visualizing Abolition Visiting Faculty Fellow Dr. Pooja Rangan. \nPrisons deny and censor the access of those trapped inside them—to information\, to intimacy\, to community\, to meaningful work\, to nourishment of all kinds\, and perhaps most cruelly\, to care. This program assembles a series of films\, including works by filmmakers incarcerated in California as well as others without that lived experience. Together\, these works confront the debilitating impacts of these restrictions and reveal how the disabling logic of the prison is extended to other institutional spaces (the hospital\, the university)\, turning access into a scarce commodity by enclosing what should be held in common. Questioning the carceral and state-sponsored productions of disability and accessibility\, the short films together reveal the courage of people working despite limitations to produce collective access for one another\, described simply and beautifully by disability justice activist Leah-Lakshmi Piepzna Samarasinha as “revolutionary love without charity.” \nThanh Tran\nDying in Prison\, 2022\nHD Video (color\, sound)\, 3 minutes\nCourtesy of the artist \nCarolyn Lazard\nPre-Existing Condition\, 2019\nHD video (color\, sound)\, 6 minutes\nCourtesy of the artist and Trautwein Herleth3 \nAnthony Alejandrez\nAnother Rainy Day\, 2023\nPhone video (color\, sound)\, 3 minutes\nCourtesy of the artist \nJordan Lord\nAfter…After… (Access)\, 2018\nHD Video (color\, sound)\, 16 minutes\nCourtesy of the artist \nRahsaan “New York” Thomas\nFriendly Signs\, 2023\nVideo (color\, sound) 21 minutes\nCourtesy of Tommy Wickerd\, Empowerment Ave & System Impact Media

SUMMARY:Scott\, J. (CSE) - Mechanistic Specialization Does Not Guarantee Performance: Evidence from Dual AttentionTransformers
DESCRIPTION:Dual Attention Transformers (DATs) extend decoder-only Transformers with a dedicated relational-attention stream\, making them a natural architecture for abstract identity rules such asABA and ABB. Surprisingly\, we find that comparably sized GPT-2 models outperform DATs on these tasks. We investigate this gap with two complementary mechanistic analyses. First\, causal mediation analysis shows that DATs exhibit stronger evidence of hypothesized symbolic mechanisms: symbol abstraction\, symbol induction\, and retrieval\, than GPT-2. Second\, a routing analysis shows why this specialization does not translate into better behavior: DATs make more wrong-copy errors\, can attend to the correct source token while still predicting the wrong token\, and show weak direct contribution from relational attention to the correct-versus-wrong outputmargin. Ablating positive-routing heads hurts performance\, while amplifying those headsimproves DAT more than matched controls. These results show that explicit relational attentioncan shape internal organization without guaranteeing task success. For identity-rule tasks\, performance depends not only on whether relational information is represented\, but whether it is routed to the final output position in a form that affects the next-token prediction. Because pretrained DAT and GPT-2 models differ in training data\, tokenizer\, and other implementation details\, these findings should be interpreted as evidence about the mechanisms used by existing models rather than as a definitive architectural comparison. Follow-up experiments will address these confounders through controlled training comparisons that match data\, scale\, and evaluation conditions across architectures. \nEvent Host: Jonathan Scott\, Ph.D. Student\, Computer Science & Engineering \nAdvisor: Leilani Gilpin \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/95404396322?pwd=0e0AegKSxhcFDDKrn08muHcqfHs6WW.1 \nPasscode: 985103

SUMMARY:Kembay\, A. (ECE) - Sparse and Continual Foundations for Adaptive General Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:While the human brain learns continually\, mastering new tasks without forgetting\nthe old and adapting to unfamiliar ones from context alone\, modern neural networks\nstill lack both. To bridge the gap between biological adaptivity and modern AI\, we\nhave established foundational work on sparsity as a computational principle at three\nlevels of neural computation\, through salient feature masking that distills only the most\ninformative knowledge from a teacher\, quantized spiking neural networks whose sparse\nactivations mitigate catastrophic forgetting by updating weights only when new learn-\ning requires it\, and complex-pole value-path dynamics that give Transformer attention\na resonant\, positionally selective memory. Addressing the remaining bottleneck\, that\nthese sparse structures are fixed in advance rather than adapted to the task at hand\,\nwe propose a research roadmap centered on in-context meta-learning with sparse atten-\ntion priors\, enabling models to ‘learn to be sparse’ by inferring task-relevant structure\nfrom context alone\, without any weight update. Taken together\, this research seeks\nto unify brain-inspired sparsity with continual and in-context learning as a foundation\nfor adaptive general intelligence. \nEvent Host: Assel Kembay\, Ph.D. Student\, Electrical & Computer Engineering \nAdvisor: Jason Eshraghian \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/92202931005?pwd=peVIc4e03fUPwFqlGa6yWx6ZlL33lI.1 \nPasscode: 742766

SUMMARY:July Slugs and Steins with Assistant Professor Aide Macias-Munoz
DESCRIPTION:Unlocking the blueprint for regeneration: Insights from Hydra\nRegeneration\, the ability to heal and regrow lost body parts\, varies across species\, tissues\, and even cell types. To harness regenerative ability for medicine\, we need to understand the genetic mechanisms that are similar across regenerating species. My lab uses Hydra\, a small freshwater relative of jellyfish\, to investigate how the genome controls this extraordinary process. Hydra possess remarkable regenerative abilities\, including the capacity to regenerate head and foot when cut in half and to rebuild a complete animal from clusters of cells. By studying gene expression and gene regulation during regeneration\, we aim to identify the genetic programs that drive this process. In this talk\, I will discuss what Hydra can teach us about the evolution and genetic basis of regeneration. \nAide Macias-Muñoz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UC Santa Cruz. Her research seeks to understand how complex traits\, including regeneration and eyes\, have evolved across animals. She is particularly interested in deciphering whether similar or different genes are used to encode these traits in different species. She holds a B.A. in Integrative Biology with a minor in Chicana/o Studies from the University of California\, Berkeley and a Ph.D. from the University of California\, Irvine. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Spring Exhibitions at the Institute of the Arts and Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Visit the IAS\, UCSC’s premier art galleries\, for our spring exhibitions. On view April 10–August 16\, 2026 are three diverse and interdisciplinary shows: Libia Posada: Everything is Going Right\, the first US solo exhibition by the Colombia-based artist and medical doctor; Gina Athena Ulysse: A Redwoods Rasanblaj\, a site-specific and immersive exploration of the Haitian kreyol conception of rasanblaj; and Ronaldo V. Wilson: There Are No Words\, But Melodies\, a mixed-media exhibition emerging at the intersections of Black poetics\, performance\, and visual art. \nThe IAS Galleries are open Wednesday-Sunday\, 12 pm – 5 pm. Admission is free to the public. \nLibia Posada: Everything is Going Right\nLibia Posada’s first solo exhibition in the United States features installations\, sculptures\, and drawings meticulously constructed from surgical instruments\, gauze bandages\, crutches\, used books\, and domestic picture frames. The new and existing works in the exhibition powerfully stitch together the personal\, social\, and political disorders and afflictions that currently trouble the world\, from the wars that resonate across the globe to the violences of aging in US prisons.  \nGina Athena Ulysse: A Redwoods Rasanblaj: Origins & Disentanglements\nThe internationally-lauded work of humanities professor Gina Athena Ulysse is on view as a premier Faculty Spotlight Exhibition. The site-specific installation\, produced in community from things collected\, found\, purchased and donated\, centers on the Haitian concept of rasanblaj\, a form of assembly and collage that transcends the formal use of materials to draw together people\, spirits\, and ideas.  \nRonaldo V. Wilson: There Are No Words\, But Melodies\nCollage is both a material practice and a structural interrogation in the Faculty Spotlight Exhibition artworks by literature professor Ronaldo V. Wilson. In video\, painting\, and installation\, layers and folds conceal and reveal\, delving into the experience\, both bodily and emotive\, of living in times of violence.  \n

SUMMARY:Spring Exhibitions at the Institute of the Arts and Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Visit the IAS\, UCSC’s premier art galleries\, for our spring exhibitions. On view April 10–August 16\, 2026 are three diverse and interdisciplinary shows: Libia Posada: Everything is Going Right\, the first US solo exhibition by the Colombia-based artist and medical doctor; Gina Athena Ulysse: A Redwoods Rasanblaj\, a site-specific and immersive exploration of the Haitian kreyol conception of rasanblaj; and Ronaldo V. Wilson: There Are No Words\, But Melodies\, a mixed-media exhibition emerging at the intersections of Black poetics\, performance\, and visual art. \nThe IAS Galleries are open Wednesday-Sunday\, 12 pm – 5 pm. Admission is free to the public. \nLibia Posada: Everything is Going Right\nLibia Posada’s first solo exhibition in the United States features installations\, sculptures\, and drawings meticulously constructed from surgical instruments\, gauze bandages\, crutches\, used books\, and domestic picture frames. The new and existing works in the exhibition powerfully stitch together the personal\, social\, and political disorders and afflictions that currently trouble the world\, from the wars that resonate across the globe to the violences of aging in US prisons.  \nGina Athena Ulysse: A Redwoods Rasanblaj: Origins & Disentanglements\nThe internationally-lauded work of humanities professor Gina Athena Ulysse is on view as a premier Faculty Spotlight Exhibition. The site-specific installation\, produced in community from things collected\, found\, purchased and donated\, centers on the Haitian concept of rasanblaj\, a form of assembly and collage that transcends the formal use of materials to draw together people\, spirits\, and ideas.  \nRonaldo V. Wilson: There Are No Words\, But Melodies\nCollage is both a material practice and a structural interrogation in the Faculty Spotlight Exhibition artworks by literature professor Ronaldo V. Wilson. In video\, painting\, and installation\, layers and folds conceal and reveal\, delving into the experience\, both bodily and emotive\, of living in times of violence.  \n

SUMMARY:Visualizing Abolition Screening Series: Beyond Access
DESCRIPTION:On view in the IAS Screening Room is a selection of short films curated by Visualizing Abolition Visiting Faculty Fellow Dr. Pooja Rangan. \nPrisons deny and censor the access of those trapped inside them—to information\, to intimacy\, to community\, to meaningful work\, to nourishment of all kinds\, and perhaps most cruelly\, to care. This program assembles a series of films\, including works by filmmakers incarcerated in California as well as others without that lived experience. Together\, these works confront the debilitating impacts of these restrictions and reveal how the disabling logic of the prison is extended to other institutional spaces (the hospital\, the university)\, turning access into a scarce commodity by enclosing what should be held in common. Questioning the carceral and state-sponsored productions of disability and accessibility\, the short films together reveal the courage of people working despite limitations to produce collective access for one another\, described simply and beautifully by disability justice activist Leah-Lakshmi Piepzna Samarasinha as “revolutionary love without charity.” \nThanh Tran\nDying in Prison\, 2022\nHD Video (color\, sound)\, 3 minutes\nCourtesy of the artist \nCarolyn Lazard\nPre-Existing Condition\, 2019\nHD video (color\, sound)\, 6 minutes\nCourtesy of the artist and Trautwein Herleth3 \nAnthony Alejandrez\nAnother Rainy Day\, 2023\nPhone video (color\, sound)\, 3 minutes\nCourtesy of the artist \nJordan Lord\nAfter…After… (Access)\, 2018\nHD Video (color\, sound)\, 16 minutes\nCourtesy of the artist \nRahsaan “New York” Thomas\nFriendly Signs\, 2023\nVideo (color\, sound) 21 minutes\nCourtesy of Tommy Wickerd\, Empowerment Ave & System Impact Media

SUMMARY:Santa Cruz Shakespeare Opening Night
DESCRIPTION:Tickets are now on sale for Santa Cruz Shakespeare’s 2026 Season\, featuring Much Ado About Nothing and Macbeth. Co-sponsored by the Humanities Institute. \nThe 2026 season runs from July 16 – August 30. \nMuch Ado About Nothing is one of Shakespeare’s wittiest and most beloved comedies. Of all the couples in Shakespeare\, perhaps none is more widely loved than Beatrice and Benedick. Their battle of wits\, their antagonism turned to eroticism\, their history. Before the play begins\, they already seem to define each other. The audience\, like the other characters in the play\, wait with excitement as their wits clash\, and eventually\, as their love blossoms. \n \nMacbeth by William Shakespeare’s is one of the greatest plays ever written. Its central couple\, ironically\, is one of Shakespeare’s happiest. At least at the beginning. Macbeth explores what we become when our second half is ripped away. A powerful unit\, wildly in love with each other\, the Macbeths follow the insinuations of the witches – the famous weird sisters – and commit murder in the name of their shared ambition: the throne of Scotland. But even with their goal achieved\, Macbeth’s paranoia and guilt lead him further down the road of blood. The central unit tears apart under the shadow of its deeds. Who are these two without each other? Slowly and surely\, the play shows us society’s ruin in the form of its leading pair. \nSanta Cruz Shakespeare’s production of Macbeth stars Dan Donohue in the title role and Paige Lindsey White as Lady Macbeth.

SUMMARY:Ocean Vuong - The Emperor of Gladness
DESCRIPTION:The hardest thing in the world is to live only once…\n\n\n\nBookshop Santa Cruz and The Humanities Institute are pleased to welcome critically acclaimed author and staff favorite Ocean Vuong (Time Is a Mother\, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous) for an event celebrating the paperback release of The Emperor of Gladness\, Vuong’s bighearted novel about chosen family\, unexpected friendship\, and the stories we tell ourselves in order to survive. Vuong will be in conversation with UC Santa Cruz Professor Ronaldo V. Wilson. \n \nFollowing the cycles of history\, memory\, and time\, The Emperor of Gladness shows the profound ways in which love\, labor\, and loneliness form the bedrock of American life. At its heart is a brave epic about what it means to exist on the fringes of society and to reckon with the wounds that haunt our collective soul. Hallmarks of Ocean Vuong’s writing—formal innovation\, syntactic dexterity\, and the ability to twin grit with grace through tenderness—are on full display in this story of loss\, hope\, and how far we would go to possess one of life’s most fleeting mercies: a second chance. \nOcean Vuong is the author of the critically acclaimed poetry collections Night Sky with Exit Wounds and Time Is a Mother\, as well as the New York Times bestselling novel On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous. A recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship and the American Book Award\, he was born in Saigon\, Vietnam\, and currently splits his time between western Massachusetts and New York City. The Emperor of Gladness is his latest novel. \nMore information at: Bookshop Santa Cruz – Ocean Vuong \n\nCo-Sponsored by The Humanities Institute

SUMMARY:Holmes\, J. (CM) - Towards a Multi-dimensional Model of User Load
DESCRIPTION:Games user researchers (GURs) use various methods to understand when a game is overloading its players. In games research where data-driven multimodal approaches are necessary to drive insights\, the currently available tools to measure user load are coarse\, one-dimensional\, and often aggregated. The more dominant instruments\, such as the Cognitive Load Scale (CLS) and the NASA-TLX\, rely on player reflections of mental effort\, primarily at the end of the playtest session\, to distinguish different cognitive load types. This makes it difficult to: (1) understand where specifically players are struggling and experiencing high load\, especially at the non-reflective subconscious level\, (2) identify where that load is primarily coming from (e.g.\, perceptual clutter or difficulty/skill imbalance)\, and (3) examine user overload at scale\, a crucial component of designing a game with large player bases. Telemetry is the behavioral record of what players are doing from moment to moment\, in varying degrees of granularity. Telemetry has served as a powerful tool to understand player behaviors at scale\, yet is rarely used to measure user load\, especially through a validated multidimensional framework. This dissertation proposes that behavioral signatures of specific load constructs are observable in game telemetry\, and a model built and validated on such telemetry can measure the distinct components of each load at the moment-to-moment granularity of individual play\, as opposed to aggregated magnitude. This dissertation consists of three parts: (1) Validation through construct manipulation and reference measurement. Specifically\, manipulating theoretically grounded load constructs and confirming that the proposed telemetry features respond as predicted\, relative to the established measurements collected alongside them (e.g.\, NASA-TLX\, pupillometry\, secondary-task). (2) Individual-level validation through rigorous longitudinal examination of the same players repeatedly across many sessions such that load constructs can be tracked at the within-person granularity. This is necessary to establish that the measure works for an individual player and not just for population averages. (3) Test the user load model by applying it to naturalistic game telemetry. Additionally\, this phase will entail the development of an insight-oriented measurement tool for GURs based on our validated user load model. The overarching contribution is a behavioral\, telemetry-based method for measuring multidimensional user load in games\, validated to measure load within each person (individual-level). This gives GURs a scalable tool and replicable process for detecting user load in commercial game telemetry. \nEvent Host: Jonattan Holmes\, Ph.D. Student\, Computational Media \nAdvisor: Magy Seif El-Nasr \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/98245962806?pwd=HnkwPMFSamQJFrE5aihbZbKDBbt4s9.1 \nPasscode: 347521

SUMMARY:Spring Exhibitions at the Institute of the Arts and Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Visit the IAS\, UCSC’s premier art galleries\, for our spring exhibitions. On view April 10–August 16\, 2026 are three diverse and interdisciplinary shows: Libia Posada: Everything is Going Right\, the first US solo exhibition by the Colombia-based artist and medical doctor; Gina Athena Ulysse: A Redwoods Rasanblaj\, a site-specific and immersive exploration of the Haitian kreyol conception of rasanblaj; and Ronaldo V. Wilson: There Are No Words\, But Melodies\, a mixed-media exhibition emerging at the intersections of Black poetics\, performance\, and visual art. \nThe IAS Galleries are open Wednesday-Sunday\, 12 pm – 5 pm. Admission is free to the public. \nLibia Posada: Everything is Going Right\nLibia Posada’s first solo exhibition in the United States features installations\, sculptures\, and drawings meticulously constructed from surgical instruments\, gauze bandages\, crutches\, used books\, and domestic picture frames. The new and existing works in the exhibition powerfully stitch together the personal\, social\, and political disorders and afflictions that currently trouble the world\, from the wars that resonate across the globe to the violences of aging in US prisons.  \nGina Athena Ulysse: A Redwoods Rasanblaj: Origins & Disentanglements\nThe internationally-lauded work of humanities professor Gina Athena Ulysse is on view as a premier Faculty Spotlight Exhibition. The site-specific installation\, produced in community from things collected\, found\, purchased and donated\, centers on the Haitian concept of rasanblaj\, a form of assembly and collage that transcends the formal use of materials to draw together people\, spirits\, and ideas.  \nRonaldo V. Wilson: There Are No Words\, But Melodies\nCollage is both a material practice and a structural interrogation in the Faculty Spotlight Exhibition artworks by literature professor Ronaldo V. Wilson. In video\, painting\, and installation\, layers and folds conceal and reveal\, delving into the experience\, both bodily and emotive\, of living in times of violence.  \n

SUMMARY:Visualizing Abolition Screening Series: Beyond Access
DESCRIPTION:On view in the IAS Screening Room is a selection of short films curated by Visualizing Abolition Visiting Faculty Fellow Dr. Pooja Rangan. \nPrisons deny and censor the access of those trapped inside them—to information\, to intimacy\, to community\, to meaningful work\, to nourishment of all kinds\, and perhaps most cruelly\, to care. This program assembles a series of films\, including works by filmmakers incarcerated in California as well as others without that lived experience. Together\, these works confront the debilitating impacts of these restrictions and reveal how the disabling logic of the prison is extended to other institutional spaces (the hospital\, the university)\, turning access into a scarce commodity by enclosing what should be held in common. Questioning the carceral and state-sponsored productions of disability and accessibility\, the short films together reveal the courage of people working despite limitations to produce collective access for one another\, described simply and beautifully by disability justice activist Leah-Lakshmi Piepzna Samarasinha as “revolutionary love without charity.” \nThanh Tran\nDying in Prison\, 2022\nHD Video (color\, sound)\, 3 minutes\nCourtesy of the artist \nCarolyn Lazard\nPre-Existing Condition\, 2019\nHD video (color\, sound)\, 6 minutes\nCourtesy of the artist and Trautwein Herleth3 \nAnthony Alejandrez\nAnother Rainy Day\, 2023\nPhone video (color\, sound)\, 3 minutes\nCourtesy of the artist \nJordan Lord\nAfter…After… (Access)\, 2018\nHD Video (color\, sound)\, 16 minutes\nCourtesy of the artist \nRahsaan “New York” Thomas\nFriendly Signs\, 2023\nVideo (color\, sound) 21 minutes\nCourtesy of Tommy Wickerd\, Empowerment Ave & System Impact Media

SUMMARY:Li\, J. (CM) - Detecting Failure to Adapt: Reading Self-Regulated Learning Breakdowns from Game Telemetry through Plan Recognition
DESCRIPTION:Three learners who fail the same level of an educational game the same number of times can be failing in three different ways\, and the difference determines what each should do next. Yet the measures a game’s logs are usually reduced to (completion time\, error counts\, mastery estimates) render the three identical. This proposal takes one breakdown as its object: failure-to-adapt\, the case where the game has repeatedly surfaced evidence that a learner’s current approach is failing and the learner’s approach shows no responsive change. The construct is grounded in Winne and Hadwin’s monitor-and-control model of self-regulated learning and defined at the level of the learner’s plan. To detect it\, a plan-recognition engine maintains a continuously updated probability estimate of which strategy the learner is executing across the whole trace; an episode is flagged when that estimate shows no evidence-responsive revision. Because behavior alone cannot settle what broke down\, flagged episodes are validated against learners’ own verbal reports\, coded blind\, and decomposed into monitoring failure\, control failure\, or control the trace cannot show. Three studies carry the work: detection and diagnosis on real telemetry from an educational game\, including a comparison against the analytics the field already runs; a formative study of what a facilitator (an instructor or teaching assistant running a class play session) must see to judge correctly which learners need attention; and a documented authoring case carrying the detection to a second game. The contribution is knowledge for game-based-learning researchers: a theory-grounded construct\, a validated way to detect it from play\, and the authoring knowledge to embed that detection in new games. \nEvent Host: Jiahong Li\, Ph.D. Student\, Computational Media \nAdvisor: Magy Seif El-Nasr \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/93238603235?pwd=zENRsu82HRj4JYKcMEn9MZibU8kC7F.1 \nPasscode: 835328
