The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is the main R&D organization of the DOD. Its objectives include management and supervision of R&D projects that can potentially change the manner in which war is carried out. Its role is crucial in maintaining the superiority of the U.S armed forces and ensuring that U.S. security does not get compromised due to technical obsolescence. DARPA exists to find military applications for fundamental discoveries. Programs conducted by DARPA include Advanced Technology Office (ATO) Program, Defense Sciences Office (DSO) Programs, Information Processing Technology Office (IPTO) Programs, etc.

The Division of Thoracic Surgery at St. Luke's - Roosevelt Hospital offers patients a full range of cardiothoracic services including minimally invasive and robotic surgery involving the heart, lungs, esophagus and the mediastinum. In particular, they specialize in CT- guided biopsy of thoracic nodules and masses; perform bronchoscopy and endobronchial tumor resection and stenting, esophageal stenting, and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) of the lung, esophagus, and other mediastinal tumors. We also perform chest wall reconstruction for pectus deformity and minimally invasive sympathectomy for hyperhydrosis.

Founded in 1979, the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) is a nonprofit scientific society devoted to advancing the scientific understanding of the mechanisms underlying thought and intelligent behavior and their embodiment in machines. An example includes genetic programming that contributes to the field of machine learning by applying the crossover operation (common across all types of genetic algorithms) to dynamic representations (computer programs) that have position-independent constituents (computer operations). Under these circumstances, computational mechanisms specialized for a problem domain can emerge.
