The lecture will explore a variety of common and emerging techniques of organizing\, summarizing\, and analyzing unstructured text\, from simple word counts and entity extraction to more complex approaches to modeling bias and influence. While the primary focus will be on text analytics concepts and use cases\, it will also introduce a number of open source software libraries used in real-world text analytics applications. \n\nJonathon MorganFounder and CEO at New KnowledgeJonathon Morgan is Founder and CEO at New Knowledge\, where he leads a team focused on machine learning research\, and also the Founder of Data for Democracy\, a volunteer collective of data and technology professionals collaborating on social impact projects.

SUMMARY:Writing Winning NIH Grant Proposals with Dr. John D. Robertson
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will address aspects important to writing competitive NIH grant proposals. Geared toward faculty members\, postdoctoral researchers and administrative staff with grant writing responsibility\, emphasis is given to doing the ‘extra’ things that can make the difference between success and failure. Dr. Robertson will also address recent specific changes to the NIH requirements: new requirements for rigor\, transparency\, and reproducibility; changes to the writing of the Approach and Research Design subsections; and changes to the way that the Significance subsection should be written. \nParticipants will be taught to write with a linear progression of logic using the step-by-step process outlined in The Grant Application Writer’s Workbook—NIH version\, of which everyone will receive a FREE COPY. It will be a guide to writing a competitive application\, offering a practical\, step-by-step approach to grant writing. Given that applicants are writing for two different audiences — the assigned reviewers\, who read the application in its entirety\, and non-assigned reviewers who may have read little\, or nothing\, of the proposal before the meeting of the review-panel — coping strategies will be emphasized. \nJohn D. RobertsonPh.D.Dr. John D. Robertson received his Ph.D. from The University of Texas at Austin in pharmacology and toxicology in 1999. From 1999-2003\, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm\, Sweden. He was subsequently hired in 2004 by the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City\, KS\, where he was a faculty member in the Department of Pharmacology\, Toxicology & Therapeutics for seven years\, and an associate member of the University of Kansas Cancer Center for six years. In 2010\, he was recruited to teach grantsmanship by Grant Writers’ Seminars and Workshops. \nDr. Robertson has been the recipient of competitive extramural funding from both the NIH and non-federal sources. He has authored 30 peer-reviewed journal articles and three book chapters. He has been a member of grant review panels\, a reviewer for a number of biomedical journals\, and served on editorial boards. In addition\, he has been routinely recognized for excellence in teaching. Learn more: http://www.grantcentral.com.REGISTER FOR THE EVENT

SUMMARY:The Lecture is Dead! Long Live the Lecture (Downtown Campus)
DESCRIPTION:Research shows that 50 percent of faculty still use lecture as a primary means of instruction\, particularly in large classes. Effective lecturing can make classes interesting\, engaging\, and active. This workshop presents techniques for gaining and keeping interest\, organizing information for learning\, and actively engaging students with the material. Participants will leave with resources that can be used to develop their skills as lectures and public speakers. \nRegister for this eventPresented By:Mary Dixson\, PhDAssoc.

SUMMARY:Write Winning NSF Grant Proposals with Dr. John D. Robertson
DESCRIPTION:This widely acclaimed seminar comprehensively addresses both practical and conceptual aspects that are important to proposal-writing success. It is designed for faculty members and administrative staff who have had some exposure to writing grant applications. This seminar will focus on writing an NSF grant proposal\, with specific strategies geared toward the NSF application. Topics covered include idea development\, maximizing programmatic relevance to the targeted agency\, selecting the correct grant mechanism in which to package and present the idea\, use of the review process to inform writing of the application\, and how to write for reviewers. In addition\, strategies for writing each part of the application are presented\, along with examples that illustrate how each section should be crafted. Attendees are taught to write with a linear progression of logic that leads reviewers through their applications – i.e.\, that makes them want to read the proposal. A copy of The Grant Application Writer’s Workbook\, which has been written to complement and extend the seminar\, will be provided to each attendee. \nJohn D. RobertsonPh.D.Dr. John D.

SUMMARY:Don Hodges Lecture Series with Guest Speaker David Huron
DESCRIPTION:The UTSA Music Department’s Institute of Music Research is proud to present Dr. David Huron speaking on the topic of physiological responses to music in a presentation entitled\, “On the Musically Sublime”. While most music listening is enjoyable\, sometimes the experience of listening to music evokes transcendent feelings: goosebumps\, tears to your eyes\, the feeling of being “choked up\,” or “taking your breath away.” This lecture describes a comprehensive theory that aims to account for such peculiar physiological responses. \nView more information Presented By:David HuronDr. David Huron is a Canadian Arts and Humanities Distinguished Professor at the Ohio State University\, in both the School of Music and the Center for Cognitive and Brain Sciences.
