<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">“The most important subject to study for anyone seeking true success is the one subject usually given the least amount of study, that subject is the self. I realized that I was going on through my existence
feeling many times like I was dragging a great bag filled with some discomfort that I wasn't quite sure what it was. This affected my daily life in negative ways, the most common of which was keeping me from my best. I have made it my business to get to
understand me and through that I have gotten to understand most others. Through paying attention, I can report that I found a way to get 'clear' about why I do what I do and this has opened the door to me changing the things I need to and want to change.
Humor has been my saving grace and combining humor with respectful contemplation I can share ways to become clear and then free from what holds us back. However, I only point the path to the water and sometimes lead the horse there, ultimately the horse must
decide to drink.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We sit at the cusp of a new revolution. A revolution born at the nexus of advances in devices used to sense ourselves and our environment, in algorithms that enable optimization, prediction, and learning and
in networks that enable near instantaneous action and communication over terrestrial distances. This revolution promises to save time and create new knowledge through the automation of the mundane and augmentation of human, machine and network intelligence.
Within this talk, the speaker will focus on several Bell Labs disruptive innovations that make possible this future and the technical challenges we use to define our research vision. Presenter: Chris White, Head Algorithms, Analytics and Augmented Intelligence
Lab, Nokia Bell Labs. See bio and details in attached flyer and at registration link. Questions? Email Callie Mathews,
