SUMMARY:Data for Good
DESCRIPTION:LOCATION\nBloomberg Center\, Cornell Tech\n2 West Loop Road\nNew York\, NY 10044 \nFebruary 20\, 2018\nReception: 5:30pm-6:30pm\nTalk: 6:30pm-7:30pm  \nEvery field has data. We use data to discover new knowledge\, to interpret the world\, to make decisions\, and even to predict the future. The recent convergence of big data\, cloud computing\, and novel machine learning algorithms and statistical methods is causing an explosive interest in data science and its applicability to all fields. This convergence has already enabled the automation of some tasks that better human performance. The novel capabilities we derive from data science will drive our cars\, treat disease\, and keep us safe. At the same time\, such capabilities risk leading to biased\, inappropriate\, or unintended action. The design of data science solutions requires both excellence in the fundamentals of the field and expertise to develop applications which meet human challenges without creating even greater risk. \nThe Data Science Institute at Columbia University promotes “Data for Good”: using data to address societal challenges and bringing humanistic perspectives as—not after—new science and technology is invented. Started in 2012\, the Institute is now a university-level institute representing over 250 affiliated faculty from 12 different schools across campus. Data science literally touches every corner of the university. \nIn this talk\, Jeannette Wing\, Director of the Data Science Institute\, will present the vision on how the Institute plans to address some of the key challenges and opportunities of data science\, highlighting educational and research activities\, as well as future initiatives that may directly impact the data science community at Columbia\, New York City\, and beyond.

SUMMARY:The American Bionics Project: Promoting Revolutionary Technology for People with Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Steven Galeazzi ’10BUS \nTuesday\, February 20\, 2018\n6:00–8:00 p.m. \nColumbia Entrepreneurship Design Studio\nRiverside Church\n490 Riverside Drive\, Room 430\nNew York\, NY 10027 \nRSVP →\nRefreshments included with RSVP \nThere is a gap between the needs of people with physical disabilities in the United States and the solutions available to meet those needs. What if technologies for people with physical disabilities could be profitable while also helping those in need? What if they could be designed not only to serve people with disabilities\, but also to spur innovation for broader consumer markets? \nBy providing early stage funding and business advisement\, The American Bionics Project will serve as the catalyst for advanced technologies and medical solutions for people with physical disabilities. \nJoin this spark workshop to help The American Bionics Project explore resources\, connections\, and potential solutions to help their social venture.
