SUMMARY:SPARK WORKSHOP: Helping Good People Do More Good for More People
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO ALL \nSPARK WORKSHOP \nOpen Collaborative Social Innovation: Helping Good People Do More Good for More People \nFacilitated By George Kyriakopoulos \nTuesday\, March 27\, 2018\n6-8 p.m.\nRefreshments included with RSVP \nUris Hall\, Room 140\n3022 Broadway\nNew York\, NY 10027 \nOVERVIEW\nLarge corporations are leveraging the best collaborative innovation technologies to generate billions of dollars in new business. By bringing together thousands of minds from around the world to engage on tactical\, strategic\, and operational problems\, they’re able to identify solutions that would otherwise never see the light of day. \nWhat if these same technologies could be leveraged for problem solving for social impact? What if nonprofits of any size\, anywhere around the world\, could tap into the expertise and resources of those same minds? \nEndeavour Innovation is a single\, central\, open impact innovation platform available to nonprofits at no cost. They are creating the capacity to engage with anyone\, anywhere around the world\, and at any time for social impact.\n \nAREAS FOR DISCUSSION \n\nWhat are the fundamental benefits to having a single platform for global open collaboration?\nWhat are universities’ or corporations’ willingness to pay?\nWhat would motivate individuals or teams to commit time to global innovation challenges?\n\nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHY\nGeorge Kyriakopoulos is currently a Senior Innovation Consultant at Brightidea working primarily with Fortune 500 corporations globally. He builds continuous programmatic innovation into organizations by helping to create an environment where the risky practice of innovation can survive and flourish through appropriate exposure and expansion in time. \n\n  \n \nSpark provides Social Innovators with an opportunity to explore resources\, connections and potential solutions to help their social ventures. These workshops tap into the collective knowledge within Columbia University and the larger entrepreneurial and social impact community. \nSpark is a platform for ventures to make valuable connections\, as the audience is a self-selected group interested in the topic area. Ventures are also able to gather ideas through group brainstorming to help them address specific questions or problems within the business organization. \nThese workshops are free and open to all who are willing to bring their ideas\, experience\, and connections to help solve social and environmental challenges that social innovators aim to address. \nIf you are unable to attend the above event but would like more information on Spark\, please register for our mailing list. \nFor more information\, or if you would like to suggest a future Spark workshop\, please contact socialenterprise@gsb.columbia.edu. \nThis workshop is supported by the Lang Center for Entrepreneurship\, and the Tamer Center for Social Enterprise at Columbia Business School.

SUMMARY:The Transparency Series - Series 6\, Climate Change (Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO COLUMBIA JOURNALISM STUDENTS \nA unique set of seminars and hands-on workshops that bring new technology and design ideas to the Columbia Journalism community. The goal is simple — help students learn new ways to find and tell stories\, new ways to inform and entertain. Each topic will commence with a Friday evening panel discussion and will follow with a Saturday hands-on workshop centered around building. \nStudents attending three of the seminar-workshops over the course of the year will receive a graduation award indicating the extra breadth they sought out during their time at the J-School. \nMORE INFO \n*** \nFood production. Transportation. Energy usage. Critical infrastructure. Climate change is affecting almost every aspect of our lives. But reporting on climate is challenging\, and many journalists feel uncomfortable engaging the topic outside an environmental beat. The subject can be technical\, supported by data and models\, some of which do not agree. \nWith this edition of the Transparency Series\, we focus on climate change. For previous events\, we presented techniques — network analysis\, poll interpretation\, mapping. This time\, our technique is “interdisciplinary collaboration” — working with scientists to tell better stories. In a day-long workshop we will learn from leading climate scientists about how to cast climate as a character in stories\, and not just the environment story. Sports? Real estate? Politics? Through collaboration\, we can explore many more topics. \nThe morning will be spent with Gavin Schmidt\, Director and leading scientist at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Sciences\, and Susanne Rust\, Director of the Environmental Reporting Fellows at the Columbia Journalism School. In our time with them\, we will survey the current landscape of reporting on climate change\, and look to the tools\, data and resources that exist for reporters trying to write about the topic. In the afternoon\, students will be paired with PhD students in Columbia’s Environmental Science program to come up with pitches of their own–new stories to contextualize the impacts of climate change.

SUMMARY:Data-Driven Discovery and Decision Making - A Paradigm Shift for Large-Scale Experimental Science
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, February 27\, 2018\n11:00AM-12:15PM\nCEPSR 414\, DAVIS AUDITORIUM\n\n“Data-Driven Discovery and Decision Making – A Paradigm Shift for Large-Scale Experimental Science” \nNew instrument technologies are enabling a new generation of in-situ and in-operando experiments\, with extremely fine spatial and temporal resolution\, that allows researchers to observe as physics\, chemistry and biology are happening. These new methodologies go hand in hand with an exponential growth in data volumes and rates – petabyte scale data collections and terabyte/sec. At the same time\, scientists are pushing for a paradigm shift. As they can now observe processes in intricate details\, they want to analyze\, interpret and control those processes. Given the multitude of voluminous\, heterogenous data streams involved in every single experiment\, novel real-time\, data-driven analysis and decision support approaches are needed to realize their vision. This talk will discuss state-of-the-art streaming analysis for experimental facilities\, its challenges and early successes. It will present work currently carried out at Brookhaven National Laboratory and identify areas for collaboration. \nKerstin Kleese van Dam is the director of the Computational Science Initiative (CSI) at the Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL)\, in Long Island\, NY. With 100 petabytes\, BNL hosts the second largest scientific data archive in the US and the fourth largest in the world\, it processes annually in access of 400 petabytes of scientific results. \nCSI conducts leading edge computer science and applied mathematics research to address the associated analysis challenges\, specific focus areas are machine learning\, visual analytics and programming models. \n \nBefore she joined BNL Kerstin was associated division director at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory\, Director of Computing at University College London Medical School and Data Management Group Lead at the Science and Technology Facilities Council in the UK.\n \nHosted by Prof. Steven Nowick (Dept. of Computer Science)

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:Data for Good
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO ALL\n\nFriday\, February 16\, 2018\n12:00PM-1:30PM\nCEPSR 750\n\n\nIn this talk\, we discuss a systematic evaluation of the impact of financial regulations concerning the collateralization of derivative trades on systemic risk – a topic that has been vigorously discussed since the financial crisis in 2007/08. Experts often disagree on the efficacy of these regulations. Compounding this problem banks regard their trade data required for a full analysis as proprietary. We adapt a simulation technology combining advances in graph theory to randomly generate entire financial systems sampled from realistic distributions with a novel open source risk engine to compute risks in financial systems under different regulations. This allows us to consistently evaluate\, predict and optimize the impact of financial regulations on all levels – from a single trade to systemic risk – before it is implemented. The resulting data set is accessible to contemporary data science techniques like data mining\, anomaly detection and visualization. We find that collateralization reduces the costs of resolving a financial system in crisis\, yet it does not change the distribution of those costs and can have adverse effects on individual participants in extreme situations. \nRemote participants can register for online streaming in advance at: \nhttps://columbiauniversity.zoom.us/meeting/register/4e9e74be7f16abb08c34be5db4a05ad8 \nJointly sponsored by the Data Science Institute and the Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy

SUMMARY:The Transparency Series - Series 5\, Networks (Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO ALL COLUMBIANS \nA unique set of seminars and hands-on workshops that bring new technology and design ideas to the Columbia Journalism community. The goal is simple — help students learn new ways to find and tell stories\, new ways to inform and entertain. Each topic will commence with a Friday evening panel discussion and will follow with a Saturday hands-on workshop centered around building. \nStudents attending three of the seminar-workshops over the course of the year will receive a graduation award indicating the extra breadth they sought out during their time at the J-School. \nMORE INFO \n*** \nThe world is a complicated place\, and sometimes it’s not the things themselves that’s the story\, but the connections between the things. two speakers whose projects transform these connections between things into first-rate journalism. The first is Kevin Connor\, the director of the Public Accountability Initiative (PAI) and co-founder of LittleSis.org (think the opposite of Big Brother)\, an online wiki database tracking information on powerful people and organizations. Then we will hear from Mar Cabra\, head of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) Data & Research Unit.
