Abstract: This study continued prior work on the potential interactions between human trust and human trust of automation, and how human affect and schemas may influence perceptions of automation. The Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) was used as a novel means of investigating how automation and human team members who were either friends or strangers may interact with potential unintended consequences. Much of the prior research on automation does not consider interactions of human characteristics as potential influencers of automation perception and utilization; for example, how one's affect may impact other human team members' experiences. Using a micro-world computer program called Networked Fire Chief to simulate a fire-fighting task environment, 186 participants in 93 teams were assessed on trust in an automated alarm system and perceptions of the reliability of this automated alarm system. These teams were composed of either teams of friends or teams of strangers, and experienced either 100% reliable automation or 70% reliable automation. Results showed there were initial effects of negative affect of participants that influenced trust in the automation; as negative affect increased, reported trust in the automation decreased. However, these significant effects did not hold throughout significance testing of the full APIM models. Implications of these findings are explored, as well as possible directions for future research.

Mathematics REU Talk Series- The Wigner Semicircle Law
Maxim Derevyagin

Thursday, July 7th, 2022

01:30 PM - 02:30 PM

Storrs Campus
MONT 313

Professor Maxim Derevyagin of the University of Connecticut will give a talk titled "The Wigner Semicircle Law". The abstract is below:

Abstract: The study of random matrices has emerged from applications, first in data analysis (in the early days of statistical sciences, going back to John Wishart), and later as statistical models for heavy nuclei atoms, beginning with the seminal work of Eugene Wigner that was published in 1955 and where he established a universal result about the asymptotic behavior of eigenvalues of random matrices. Namely, the Wigner semicircle law states that the eigenvalue distribution of a real symmetric matrix with i.i.d. entries, properly normalized, converges to the same density regardless of the underlying distribution of the matrix entries.

In this talk we will carefully discuss the Wigner semicircle law and then consider a sketch of the proof that is close to the original argument of Wigner.
