The aim of this workshop is to bring together a broad set of researchers looking at algorithmic questions that arise in machine learning. The primary target areas will be large-scale learning, including algorithms for Bayesian estimation and variational inference, nonlinear and nonparametric function estimation, reinforcement learning, and stochastic processes including diffusion, point processes and MCMC. While many of these methods have been central to statistical modeling and machine learning, recent advances in their scope and applicability lead to basic questions about their computational efficiency. The latter is often linked to modeling assumptions and objectives. The workshop will examine progress and challenges and include a set of tutorials on the state of the art by leading experts.

The English Civil Wars of 1642-8 began as the last of Europes wars of religion and ended as the first modern revolution. http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and...
Parliamentarians had been fighting for the chance to finish Englands Reformation, but the experience of war convinced some of them that thr mere reshaping of the establishment was not enough. To be true to their religious vision, something more searching and profound was needed. This restless spirit manifested itself in various sects and fellowships, united by a loathing of complacency and hypocrisy, which both supported and helped to undermine the republican experiment.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and...
Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website. There are currently over 1,900 lectures free to access or download from the website.

Sponsored by Bachelor's Program for Adults and Transfer Students (http://www.newschool.edu/public-engag...) and the Creative Writing Program (http://www.newschool.edu/public-engag...) at The New School (http://newschool.edu/).
The keynote address will be delivered by novelist and critic, Vince Passaro.
The conference title, "The Body Artist," refers not specifically to DeLillo’s 2001 novel, but to DeLillo himself, an artist who has spent a career dramatizing personal encounters with impersonal systems, the human body facing the inhuman machine. The event will feature panels and presentations predominantly by literary artists, fiction writers thinking about this fiction writer’s work—what it is, what it has meant, and what it means now.
Speaker:
- Vince Passaro, author of Violence, Nudity, Adult Content: A Novel
The conference will consider not only DeLillo's themes—paranoia, global terrorism, underground conspiracies, consumerism, digital technology, media, gender, and race—but also his craft, humor, language, style, spirituality and Catholicism, Italian-American identity, and his representations of New York, the city in which the conference will take place.

An international symposium co-sponsored by: MA Design Studies (http://www.newschool.edu/parsons/ma-d...), Parsons School of Art and Design History and Theory (http://www.newschool.edu/parsons/art-...), The Global Studies Program at the New School (http://www.newschool.edu/lang/global-...), The Transregional Center for Democratic Studies (http://blogs.newschool.edu/tcds/), New School for Social Research (http://www.newschool.edu/nssr/).
Our cultural, political and physical geographies proliferate with wounded places: sites of conflict and natural disasters; places marked by layers of turmoil and conquests; impromptu refuge locations that become permanent. “Making home” in these places, seldom a choice, becomes simultaneously a material and symbolic endeavor, involving both design and memory practices.Wounded places are scarred with collective memory of what had happened: they contain markers of the past, which may or may not be legible to those who make home there. Mnemonic activities, whether vernacular (informal) or officially imposed, can either facilitate or constrain the making of home in wounded places.

Opening Remarks
Speakers:
- Susan Yelavich, Associate Professor/Director, Design Studies MA, Parsons: Design as Damage, Erasure, Repair, and (or) Renewal.
- Małgorzata Bakalarz-Duverger, PhD candidate, Sociology, NSSR: Spaces of Collective Memory, (Mis)Remembered Places.
This international symposium “Making Home in Wounded Places: Memory, Design, and the Spatial” is conceived as a polyphonic intervention engaging the realms of design studies, art, and the social sciences. We propose the following questions to inform our discussions:
How to make home in wounded places?
What is the role of memory tensions in this process?
How does the (re)design of wounded places impact their users?
How are wounded places appropriated by the politics of memory?
What are the strategies for navigating through wounded places — as individuals, as communities, as societies?
Location:
Kellen Auditorium, Parsons School of Design, 66 Fifth Ave, NYC
Friday, March 3, 2017 at 9:30 am to 8:00 pm
