<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
