  • Dice: Deep Significance Clustering
    DICE: DEEP SIGNIFICANCE CLUSTERING FOR OUTCOME-AWARE STRATIFICATION Yufang Huang Kelly M. Axsom John Lee Cornell University Columbia University Irving Medical Center Weill Cornell Medicine [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Lakshminarayanan Subramanian Yiye Zhang New York University Cornell University [email protected] [email protected] January 8, 2021 ABSTRACT We present deep significance clustering (DICE), a framework for jointly performing representation learning and clustering for “outcome-aware” stratification. DICE is intended to generate cluster membership that may be used to categorize a population by individual risk level for a targeted outcome. Following the representation learning and clustering steps, we embed the objective function in DICE with a constraint which requires a statistically significant association between the outcome and cluster membership of learned representations. DICE further includes a neural architecture search step to maximize both the likelihood of representation learning and outcome classification accuracy with cluster membership as the predictor. To demonstrate its utility in medicine for patient risk-stratification, the performance of DICE was evaluated using two datasets with different outcome ratios extracted from real-world electronic health records. Outcomes are defined as acute kidney injury (30.4%) among a cohort of COVID-19 patients, and discharge disposition (36.8%) among a cohort of heart failure patients, respectively. Extensive results demonstrate that

Moreover, indexes to each volume were kept by handwritten notation, in both pencil and ink, seldom in alphabetical order, and with numerous addenda and instances of inserted or corrected text. Researchers should exercise special and unusual latitude in an attempt to gather all the citations for a specific name. There are a number of variant patterns, but the most consistent apply to abbreviated versions of the name of the same person. "Cunningham, ~riggs"may be the same as "Cunningham, B." I,Dann, H. E ." may be the same as "Dann, H. H." (due to blurred or illegible handwriting). "Campbell, E. P." may be the same as "Campbell, President" (or Senator, Governor, Secretary, etc.). In many cases the index has knowingly been recreated literally from the original volume indexes with the mistakes intact to avoid an even more confusing, erroneous and unconfirmable interpretation.

  • Nande Vol19num8 1987 Dec1
    · R·I·T NEWSVol. 19, No. 8 & EVENTSDecember 17, 1987 Event Honors Horton, Benefits Future Scholars A gala testimonial dinner celebrating 25 years in Congress for U.S. Rep. Frank Horton has raised $500,000 for RIT scholarships. An estimated 1,200 people gathered at the Rochester Riverside Con­ vention Center, Friday, Dec. 11 , for the black-tie event. A bipartisan group of national politi­ cians, including President Reagan, corpo­ rate and civic leaders, and friends , offered tributes, accompanied by military bands, high school bands, bagpipers, a chamber quartet and the Glenn Miller and Roger Eckers orchestras. At the event, the Congressman an­ nounced the creation of The Frank Horton Endowed Scholarship Fund. He selected RIT to receive the scholarships established in his name and based on proceeds from the event. Individuals and corporations from Washington, D.C., and throughout the 29th Congressional District gave gifts ranging from $250 to $50,000 to honor Horton's quarter century of public service. "Creation of the RIT Horton Scholars program at RIT reflects my long-standing and deep interest in the economic develop­ ment of greater Rochester and RIT's role in providing business and industry with highly qualified graduates," Horton said. "Frank has a long history of support for RIT," said President M. Richard Rose. "He participated in the founding of the National Technical Institute for the Deaf and is a member of NTID's National Advisory Group. He supported the Insti­ tute·~ new Center for M icroelec-tronic ancl Computer Engineering and has applauded RIT's professional career programs, which impact on this country's productivity." Tribute festivities at the convention center included a video message from President Reagan, who said "Frank, you are a man of great personal conviction, and you demonstrate integrity and leadership second to none.

  • HERE in SPIRIT Cornell Celebrates Its First-Ever ‘Virtual Reunion’
    REUNION 2020 HERE IN SPIRIT Cornell celebrates its first-ever ‘virtual Reunion’ REMOTE, YET CLOSE: Student singers from the Glee Club and Chorus n June, more than 10,500 alumni from the classes of 1937 (above) join their voices on Cornelliana Night. Below: The weekend’s to 2020 participated in Reunion—a record-breaking turn­ events included (clockwise from top left) a book reading by Arts & out. Attendees enjoyed a Chimes concert, a tour of the Sciences Dean Ray Jayawardhana, reminiscences by well-known alumni I including Kate Snow ’91, a teach-in on racism and social justice, and a Botanic Gardens, class happy hours, and much more. tour of the Vet college. Opposite page: Scenes from the “virtual 5K.” And they did it all online. For the first time since World War II, Reunion wasn’t held far above Cayuga’s waters. Following the University’s transition to remote instruction and the postponement of Commencement due to the coronavirus pandemic, Alumni Affairs announced in late March that this year’s gathering would be virtual. “Initially there was some skepticism, particularly from those who had experienced an in-person Reunion,” notes Kate Freyer, director of Reunion and volunteer engage­ ment events. “It was hard to imagine those connections feeling the same way over a screen.” But by the end of the weekend, she says, the feedback was overwhelm­ ingly positive—and thanks to the virtual format, many alumni who wouldn’t have been able to travel to Ithaca for logistical or health reasons were able to participate. “While Cornellians certainly missed campus, I think this experience opened a lot of people’s eyes to the idea that connecting isn’t just in a place,” Freyer says.

  • Employee Wellbeing at Cornell Re
    Your guide to resources that support all the dimensions of your wellbeing. HR.CORNELL.EDU/WELLBEING 1 2 1.6.20 Dear Colleague, During your time with Cornell, we want you to be well and THRIVE. Cornell invests in benefits, programs, and services to support employee wellbeing. This guide features a wide range of university (and many community!) resources available to support you in various dimensions of your wellbeing. As you browse this guide, which is organized around Cornell’s Seven Dimensions of Wellbeing model pictured below, you’ll find many resources cross-referenced in multiple dimensions. This illustrates the multifaceted nature of wellbeing. It is often non-linear in nature, and our most important elements shift as our work and Mary Opperman personal lives evolve. CHRO and Vice President Division of Human Resources We experience wellbeing both personally and as members of our various communities, including our work community. We each have opportunities to positively contribute to Cornell’s culture of wellbeing as we celebrate our colleagues’ life events, support one another during difficult times, share resources, and find creative approaches to how, where, and when work gets done. Behind this page is a “quick start directory” of Cornell wellbeing-related contacts. Please save this page and reach out any time you need assistance! Although some of these resources are specific to Cornell’s Ithaca campus, we recognize and are continuing to focus on expanding offerings to our employees in all locations.

Among other topics, Webb advised that he was the last survivor of the three “Bronxville Boys” who came to Cornell in 1950 from that village in Westchester County. They roomed together as freshmen, joined Delta Upsilon together and remained close friends through graduation and beyond. They even sat side by side in the 54 Cornellian’s group photo of their fraternity. Boyce Thompson, who died in 2009, worked for Pet Milk in St. Louis for a few years after graduation and later moved to Dallas where he formed and ran a successful food brokerage specializing in gourmet mixed nuts. Ever the comedian, his business phone number (after the area code) was 223-6887, which made the letters BAD-NUTS. Thankfully, his customers did not figure it out.

  • Chimesmasters Attend 2008 Guild of Carillonneurs Congress Ryan Fan ‘10, and Scott Silverstein ‘08 and Jennifer Lory-Moran ‘96, ‘97
    Fall 2008 No. 41 Newsletter of the Cornell Chimesmasters and McGraw Tower Chimesmasters attend 2008 Guild of Carillonneurs Congress Ryan Fan ‘10, and Scott Silverstein ‘08 and Jennifer Lory-Moran ‘96, ‘97 This summer, three chimesmasters basked in the California sun for several days while attending the 66th Congress of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America (GCNA). From the very moment we set foot on the University of California (UC) Berkeley campus, we (Jen Lory-Moran ‘96, ‘97, Scott Silverstein ‘08, and Ryan Fan ‘10) were inundated with amazing carillon music issuing forth from Sather Tower, which was modeled after the campanile in St. Mark’s Square in Venice, as was our very own McGraw Tower. Sather Tower stands at 307 feet and holds a 61-bell carillon. Besides carillon recitals and GCNA c a n d i d a t e s ’ examination recitals, there were performances by several well-known carillonneurs, such as Gordon Slater and Geert D’hollander. Both carillonneurs had held master classes for the Cornell Chimesmasters in the past year (as noted in the Spring 2008 Cornell Chimes Newsletter). At the end of the conference, they were the only two carillonneurs awarded the prestigious Berkeley Medal for their services to the carillon. Jen, who served as Geert D’hollander’s official page-turner during his recital, declared that watching him play was one of the most thrilling experiences she has ever had. Not only was this a rare occasion for the chimesmasters to 307-foot Slather Tower at the University simply sit and listen to live carillon music; of California at Berkeley.
