Join DataX for the graduate student series on collecting/using data in creative ways across all disciplines. Whether you're just dipping your toes into the AI wave, seeking AI solutions for your work, or an experienced researcher, please join us. Title: Point Processes and Spatiotemporal Modeling of Alphabet Spread in Ancient Italy Description: In this presentation, Tom Francis, UCLA Ph.D. candidate, explores a data-driven approach for disentangling the convoluted history of alphabet development in 1st millennium BCE Italy (a process which set the stage for the development of many modern alphabets, including the alphabet used for English). After Phoenician and Greek alphabets were adopted by other language speakers in 8th century BCE Italy, more than 30 distinct alphabets developed over the next several hundred years. To track these developments a new dataset consisting of 20,000+ inscriptions was curated and spatiotemporal point process models were fitted on these data. This presentation covers the implementation and results of these models as well as methods and problems in the data collection process itself, including thorny issues of dating, archaeological context, and distinguishing between alphabets derived from one another. Bio: Tom Francis is a Ph.D. candidate in Classics with a graduate certificate in Indo-European Studies. His dissertation involves the creation of a new and interdisciplinary dataset tracking archaeological, epigraphic, linguistic, and historical features across inscriptions in 1st millennium BCE Italy. This dataset is employed in variety of computational analyses (especially network analyses) to study the extant inscriptional record in ancient Italy. These analyses reevaluate observable interactions between sites and groups as seen in the spread of material, epigraphic, and linguistic practices throughout ancient Italy and provide new insights into diffusion and community interactions in 1st millennium BCE Italy.

Scholarly identity is about more than the articles you publish or the projects you share online with your research communities. Scholarly identity includes the many parts of your history and engagement as a researcher, including your education, employment, awards, collaborators and more – and it exists whether you are the one curating it or not. Taking control of your scholarly identity supports your visibility, credibility and transparency as a researcher and plays a crucial role in open scholarly communication. This workshop will cover the importance and impact of creating and managing your scholarly identity with tools like ORCID and Google Scholar, as well as how these tools connect with other network and profile platforms. Other options like Twitter and ResearchGate will also be explored. Instructor: Hannah Sutherland and Stephen Gabrielson

California’s economy is navigating a period of heightened uncertainty shaped by geopolitical conflict, energy market volatility, shifting trade conditions, evolving labor market dynamics, and continued investment in artificial intelligence and related technologies. This program will provide a timely overview of the key forces influencing the state’s economic outlook and the implications for California’s industries, institutions, and workforce.

These may include the effects of global instability on inflation and energy prices, California’s exposure to trade and supply chain disruption, the relationship between business investment in AI and labor market adjustment, and the outlook for employment and growth across the state. Particular attention will be given to how these developments may affect sectors that are central to California’s economy, including technology, logistics, higher education, public finance, and innovation-driven industries. The discussion will place recent events in broader economic context and consider how national and international shifts may translate into state-level impacts. The program will conclude with an open question-and-answer session, providing attendees with the opportunity to engage directly on the economic issues most relevant to their work, studies, and communities. About the Speaker: Dr. Somjita Mitra serves as Chief Economist at the California Department of Finance, where she oversees the Economic Research Unit responsible for preparing the state’s economic forecasts and advising on policy developments.
