Friday, November 6, 2009 | 10:00 AM - 4:30 PM
Speakers: Robert Bell (AT&T Labs Research), Avrim Blum (Carnegie Mellon University), Thorsten Joachims (Cornell University), Philip Long (Google)
The aim of the annual Machine Learning Symposium is to build a community of scientists in machine learning from the NYC area's academic, government, and industrial institutions by convening and promoting the exchange of ideas in a neutral setting.
Wednesday, October 21, 2009 | 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Speakers: Kurt H. Becker (Polytechnic Institute of New York University), Simon J. L. Billinge (Columbia University), Scott Snyder (Columbia University), and Jim Yardley (Columbia University)
Join us for an evening with faculty and researchers who will discuss best practices for balancing the books and offer sage advice for those looking to run their own research group.
Thursday, October 15, 2009 | 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Speakers: Gregory Provan (University of Cork), Kurt Roth (Fraunhofer Center for for Sustainable Energy Systems), Stephen Samouhos (MIT), and Jane Snowdon (IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center)
Advances toward low-energy buildings depend on advances in building system controls. This meeting will highlight case studies demonstrating state-of-the art technologies in building controls systems and performance data collection and analysis.
Thursday, October 15, 2009 | 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Speaker: James Cohen, PE
The Lyceum Society is comprised of the Academy's retired and semi-retired members. Talks cover various scientific fields. All Academy members are welcome.

eBriefing
Speakers: Cynthia Rosenzweig (NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies), Dickson Despommier (Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health), Ted Caplow (BrightFarm Systems)
As a new eBriefing reports, climate change impacts, population growth, rapid urbanization, food safety concerns, and the destructive nature of conventional agriculture together argue for pursuing sustainable agriculture in cities.
eBriefing
A four-part series on sustainable building design.
The fourth and final event in this series focused on how financial incentives and valuation can promote sustainable building. Our eBriefing documents the entire series.
Annals
Edited by Satwinder S. Sadhal (University of Southern California)
A collection of articles that crosses traditional boundaries of scientific expertise under the common theme of transport phenomena in fluid, thermal, biological, materials, and space sciences.
eBriefing
Speakers: Nancy E. Anderson (Sallan Foundation), Chris Benedict (Architecture and Energy Limited), Scott Frank (Jaros Baum & Bolles), Adrian Tuluca (Viridian Energy & Environmental LLC), and Michael Bobker (CUNY)
Glass buildings are appealing for their views and daylight exposure. But even with sophisticated modifications to regulate energy transmission, they may not be sustainable.
Annals
Edited by Gustavo Stolovitzky (IBM Computational Biology Center, Yorktown Heights, New York), Pascal Kahlem (EMBL - European Bioinformatics Institute, Hinxton, United Kingdom) and Andrea Califano (Columbia University, New York, New York)
This volume provides an overview of the state-of-the-art in subdisciplines within systems biology.
