Each seminar in this quarterly series brings a design researcher from leading institutions or companies to the Segal Design Institute to share cutting edge, innovative methods and techniques in an uncharted field.
Crowdbotics: Programming Software in Natural Language
Machine learning systems are now capable of doing more sophisticated work than ever before, accelerating creative production in a variety of domains. How can machine learning techniques be applied to reduce the difficulty of software creation? We’ll introduce Crowdbotics, a system for programming software applications described in natural language. Crowdbotics lets users convert descriptions of product features written in natural language to working product by matching them against combinations of libraries pulled from the public web. A built-in crowd-based expert training system allows Crowdbotics to learn over time.
Background
Anand is founder of Crowdbotics, a startup automating software development workflows. Prior to that, Anand was Chief Scientist of LeadGenius, a Y Combinator-backed startup using human computation and deep learning to automate account-based marketing. Anand has been named as one of Forbes Magazine's "30 under 30" Top 30 Entrepreneurs Under 30. Anand has published in ACM, AAAI and IEEE magazines, journals, and conferences. Anand previously held a National Science Foundation graduate research fellowship in mathematics. He holds degrees in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, Mathematics, and Physics from UC Berkeley.

Annual Segal Iron Pour
Segal Design Institute
7:30 PM
//
Evanston Township High School
Details
The Segal Iron Pour is an annual event that introduces students to a centuries-old manufacturing process. During the Iron Pour, students pour molten iron from a 2,700-degree furnace into 3D-printed and sand-casted molds.
The event is held as a culmination of DSGN 395-64: Leonardo, Geometry, and the Art of Manufacturing, a course taught by Segal faculty members Matthew Cummins and David Gatchell.
Join us for the 6th annual Segal Iron Pour, a one-of-a-kind experience that aims to stimulate curiosity in sand casting, forging, and other types of manufacturing. The Iron Pour features Segal students, faculty, and staff who will demonstrate the forging process by pouring hundreds of pounds of molten iron into creatively designed molds. The Segal Iron Pour is open to the McCormick community, including students, faculty, and staff.

Extending Care: A Conversation about Conservation and Futurity
Block Museum of Art
6:00 PM
//
Block Museum of Art, Mary and Leigh
Details
The Center for Scientific Studies in the Arts is a collaboration between the Art Institute of Chicago and materials science-related departments at Northwestern University to pursue objects-based and objects-inspired scientific research. Materials research benefits ongoing work in conservation, archaeology, art history, and curatorial scholarship.
Learn how the Center uses materials research to care for art objects in sustainable, innovative ways with Maria Kokkori, Senior Scientist in the Center for Scientific Studies in the Arts. She will be in conversation with Corey Byrnes, Northwestern Associate Professor of Chinese Culture and co-founder/co-director of the Environmental Humanities Workshop in Kaplan Humanities Center.
This event is presented by the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science in conjunction with exhibition Actions for the Earth: Art, Care & Ecology.
