SUMMARY:Design Your Future Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The future can feel uncertain\, so we created Design Your Future as a program where students learn to apply human-centered design to their careers and life beyond Columbia. Our first go around this semester was overbooked\, so we decided to host a one-time workshop on \nTuesday\, May 2nd from 1pm to 4pm. \nThe goal of this program is to help you better navigate your career and life choices in the face of uncertainty.\nDesign Your Future gives you the tools to help you get unstuck in life. Design relies heavily on small experiments and rapid iteration. You will learn how to craft and run small experiments that can keep your work and life choices aligned with your goals. This program is highly interactive–there will be far more activities than lectures. \nDuring the workshop you will: \n▪ Reflect on strengths and passions\n▪ Map out multiple future trajectories\n▪ Design small experiments for your life\n▪ Identify and address personal barriers \nDesign Your Future is open to the entire Columbia community. Students facing imminent graduation may find this workshop particularly relevant! \nNote: this program will leverage design but not teach it explicitly. If you are interested in learning how to practice human centered design or use it to launch a startup\, see our other programs. \nDate and Time: \nTuesday\, May 2nd — 1pm to 4pm \nPlease sign up here so we know about how many people to expect. \nhttps://designstudio-ce.typeform.com/to/hgX1pi \nIf you have any questions\, please email designstudio@columbia.edu.

SUMMARY:Studio Hours
DESCRIPTION:Do you have an idea and want to get personal design thinking feedback from the Design Studio? During Studio Hours\, teams or individuals are invited to discuss their projects or ideas one-on-one with human-centered designers in the Studio. Teams of Columbia affiliates are also welcome to use the studio space for working independently on their entrepreneurial projects. \nYou do not need to register in advance for Studio Hours. Just drop by! \nIf you have questions\, please reach out to us at designstudio@columbia.edu.

SUMMARY:Data Science Institute-Industry-Innovation Seminar: Surveillance and Social Situational Awareness
DESCRIPTION:This talk will describe a variety of methods that have been developed for the purposes of understanding group level social behaviors using stand-off video surveillance methods. Three main topics are considered: 1) the GE Sherlock System: a comprehensive approach to capturing and analyzing non-verbal cues of persons in crowd/group level interactions\, 2) One Shot Learning: a new approach to crowd level behavior recognition based on the concept that a new behavior can be recognized with as little as a single example and 3) Agent Based Inference: a novel approach to the analysis of individual cognitive states of person?s interacting in a group or crowd level social interactions. The talk starts with a description of the GE Sherlock system which encompasses methods such as person tracking in crowds\, dynamic PTZ camera control\, facial analytics from a distance such as gaze estimation and expression recognition\, upper body affective pose analysis and the inference of social states such as rapport and hostility. The talk then discusses how cues derived from the Sherlock system can be used to construct semantically meaningful behavior descriptors or affects allowing for signature matching between behaviors which can be viewed as a form of one shot learning. Going beyond affects based on direct observation\, we argue that more meaningful affects can be constructed via the inference of the cognitive states of each individual. To this end we introduce the Agent Based Inference framework. The talk concludes with a discussion of how such methods are making their way into commercial use via efforts such as the intelligent city\, the intelligent airport and the intelligent hospital. \nGET MORE INFORMATION HERE.

SUMMARY:Data Science Institute-Industry-Innovation Seminar: Peter Marx\, General Electric
DESCRIPTION:Peter Marx\, Vice President\, Advanced Projects\, GE Digital Adjunct Professor\, USC \nTITLE: How the New Availability of Urban and Industrial Data are Impacting Our World from Public Safety to Jet Engines \nThis talk discusses how newly available data from cities and industry\, from sensing and activities\, and from transactions and services are driving change across our world. Cities are increasingly using data to drive new efficiencies and insights in the urban world. For example\, policing and public safety services are ever-more data-driven and transparent with data being more widely distributed than at any point in the past. Similarly\, industry is changing from being traditionally physical into becoming more digital through the distribution of data. New availability of sensing data through the emerging Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)\, for example\, is allowing for increasing levels of predictive maintenance and qualities of service. Highly personalized healthcare is now possible because of data being made available digitally from everywhere from our worn devices to imaging of our bodies to our genetics themselves. \nThis discussion will draw on General Electric?s activities driving the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Predix\, as well as from leading cities like Los Angeles\, Singapore\, and Dubai. We will touch upon technologies such as machine learning (AI) and other types of analytics\, as well as computer vision (CV)\, connectivity (5G and private LTE)\, and mixed reality. \nCLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION.

SUMMARY:Improving Health-Care: Challenges and Opportunities for Reinforcement Learning
DESCRIPTION:Reinforcement learning offers a powerful paradigm for automatically discovering and optimizing sequential treatments for chronic and life-threatening diseases. In particular\, we will focus on how data collected in multi-stage sequential trials can be used to automatically generate treatment strategies that are tailored to patient characteristics and time-dependent outcomes. We will also examine promising methods to improve the efficiency of clinical trials through adaptation. Examples will be drawn from several ongoing research projects on developing new treatment strategies for epilepsy\, mental illness\, diabetes\, and cancer. \nREGISTER HERE \nThis event is part of the NYC Data Science Seminar Series\, organized by MSR NYC\, Facebook\, NYU Center for Data Science\, Columbia University\, and Cornell Tech\, with the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute.\nMore information can be found here.

SUMMARY:May Riverside Chat: The Promise and Future of Synthetic Biology
DESCRIPTION:RSVP HERE \nHear about the promise and future of synthetic biology from two of New York City’s leaders. \n\nCo-hosted by Columbia Engineering and Columbia Technology Ventures \nNancy J Kelley was the founding executive director of the New York Genome Center\, helping to raise $110 million and brought together 11 of the city’s universities and institutions.  She is working now on building the “trust infrastructure” for synthetic biology.  Read about her work in the New York Times here. \n \nHarris Wang is a faculty member at Columbia University\, working on synthetic and systems biology approaches to design and build new microbes with novel capabilities\, leveraging both engineering and evolutionary biology.  Last year\, he was recognized by President Obama with the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE)\, the United States’ highest award for young scientists and engineers\, for his work on the human microbiome with applications in microbiome sensing and reporting. \n \nJoin us at Columbia University for the wrap-up Riverside Chat event of the Spring 2017 season!
