SUMMARY:Cross-device User Clustering at Adobe
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO ALL\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\nWednesday\, September 26\, 2018\n5:00PM – 6:30PM\nSchapiro CEPSR\, Davis Auditorium (412)\n \nABSTRACT: As people now engage with digital properties using a myriad of devices such as laptops\, smart phones\, tablets\, connected TVs and gaming consoles\, the traditional cookie-based or device-level views of online user interaction are too narrow. Even when using a single device\, a person may be assigned multiple IDs due to cookie churn or the use of different browsers. Marketers are looking through a fragmented lens and are spending their marketing dollars without understanding more than a fractional part of consumer interactions.\n\n\nThis talk will give an overview of how Adobe is tackling this problem using graph processing techniques\, going over our journey from the initial research ideas to a fully productized product that works at scale running in the cloud while respecting user privacy. Focus will be on our open-source technology stack\, including Apache Spark\, GraphX\, OpenTSDB\, … along with a description of our algorithms and the challenges we went through to run them at very large scale on Amazon Web Services.\n\nBio: Charles is a data engineer/scientist at Adobe\, where he has been involved on many projects revolving around big data\, infrastructure and data science. Passionate about data\, Charles is constantly on the lookout for the newest technologies and applications related to data science at scale. After graduating with a Master’s degree in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence from EPITA\, France\, in 2010\, Charles has since focused his career on the online advertising industry\, working at an ad network\, a Demand-Side Platform\, and currently Adobe’s Data Management Platform.

SUMMARY:Data for Good (or Scary AI and Other Dangers of Big Data)
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO ALL \nRSVP HERE \n  \nFriday\, September 14\, 2018\nLocation: Pupin 428\n1:00PM – 2:30PM\n\n\nAbstract: In our data-rich world\, we in the technology community have a responsibility to ensure that we use data for good. In this talk\, under the acronym FATES\, I will focus on these aspects of the responsible use of data: fairness\, accountability\, transparency\, ethics\, safety and security. I will give examples of how data-hungry AI-based systems can lead to harmful decisions and even fatal errors. But I will also give examples of new techniques we can use to reduce some of these bad effects. Above all\, we need to work with ethicists\, social scientists\, and humanists to build systems with FATES in mind as we design our technology not after we deploy it. \n  \nBio: Biography: Jeannette M.

It is invisible to most people because they use it only indirectly. It’s in your computer and your phone. It’s in the machines that manufacture\, your computer\, and your phone. It’s in most cars\, including all the self-driving ones. It’s on Mars\, and in deep sea-robots. It’s what runs your Java virtual machine and your Python AI/ML scripts.\n\nIn this Distinguished Lecture\, Dr. Stroustrup will briefly explain what technical aspects of C++ makes it so useful. He will focus on design principles\, but also touch upon resource management and what it takes to be efficient in various contexts. Finally\, he will comment on the challenges facing the C++ community.\n\nAbout Bjarne Stroustrup\n\nDr. Bjarne Stroustrup is the designer and original implementer of C++ as well as the author of The C++ Programming Language (Fourth Edition)\, A Tour of C++\, Programming: Principles and Practice using C++ (Second Edition)\, and many popular and academic publications. Dr. Stroustrup is a Managing Director in the technology division of Morgan Stanley in New York City as well as a visiting professor in Columbia University’s Department of Computer Science. He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering\, and an IEEE\, ACM\, and CHM fellow. He received the 2018 Charles Stark Draper Prize\, the IEEE Computer Society’s 2018 Computer Pioneer Award\, and the 2017 IET Faraday Medal. His research interests include distributed systems\, design\, programming techniques\, software development tools\, and programming languages. He is actively involved in the ISO standardization of C++. He holds a master’s degree in mathematics from Aarhus University\, where he is an honorary professor\, and a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Cambridge\, where he is an honorary fellow of Churchill College.\n\nThe Distinguished Lectures in Computational Innovation series highlights programmers\, data scientists\, and other practitioners from the private sector who lead cutting-edge technology initiatives such as Python\, C++\, and the Open Source Initiative. The events include a presentation\, question & answer session\, and post-event networking reception.\n\nAll Columbia University students\, faculty\, postdocs\, and administrators are welcome to register for and attend these events.

SUMMARY:APPLICATION DEADLINE: Fed Tech Accelerator
DESCRIPTION:Ever wonder what GPS\, the Zika vaccine and Siri all have in common? All were technologies that were initially funded by the U.S. Government before being spun out to industry. Each year Government spends $140 billion+ on research and development that creates many novel technologies that could be breakthrough new ventures.  \nFed Tech is a unique accelerator that connects entrepreneurs to these technologies developed across DoD\, NASA\, DOE\, MIT\, Princeton and other laboratories. The program builds teams from scratch and then guides them through an 8 week cohort where they explore markets\, build business models and learn about how government R&D can become a commercial product.   \nFed Tech is sponsored by the government so there’s no equity to participate. Entrepreneur applications are open through August 8th. The cohort will run from mid September to late November. Participants can be from anywhere but are required to visit D.C for opening and closing sessions. We also intentionally design the cohort to be completed with a “day job\,” asking that you commit an average of 10 hours per week during the 8 week cohort. Our best teams have the chance to enter our Pre-Accelerator post cohort for additional resources.  \nPlease apply on our website or email recruiting@fedtech.io for more information.
