At the 9th Heidelberg Laureate Forum, a diverse panel of researchers discussed the applications and implications of deep learning.
Reflections on the AI Bill of Rights Blueprint
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has released a "Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights." I reflect on this milestone document in the context of educational systems.
A new technology, broadly deployed, raises profound questions about its impact on American society.
Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes?
The more I think about the potential brittleness of neural networks and recognition or decision making, the more I wonder how we will be able to tell when a neural network choice or decision is incorrect.
Combining neural networks with symbolic representations might make them more versatile and dependable.
Applied AI Teaches Handwriting
In an increasingly digital world, how do you teach students cursive handwriting?
Technical Perspective: Traffic Classification in the Era of Deep Learning
"Traffic Classification in an Increasingly Encrypted Web," by Iman Akbari et al., does a great job in reviewing related work in the network traffic classification space.
Traffic Classification in an Increasingly Encrypted Web
In this paper, we design a novel feature engineering approach used for encrypted Web protocols, and develop a neural network architecture based on stacked long short-term memory layers and convolutional neural networks.
AI Supports Displaced Peoples, Refugees in Ukraine and Beyond
Artificial intelligence is playing a growing role in refugee relief and resettlement programs.
Four Conversations About Human-Centric AI
I discuss the different conversations, their limits, and what we really need to be talking about.
New Research Vindicates Fodor and Pylyshyn: No Explainable AI Without ‘Structured Semantics’
In this short article, we generalize recent research results that clearly make the point that "there can be no explanation without semantics."
Technical Perspective: Physical Layer Resilience through Deep Learning in Software Radios
"Polymorphic Wireless Receivers," by Francesco Restuccia and Tommaso Melodia, tackles the problem of physical layer resilience in wireless systems from a completely new perspective.
Polymorphic Wireless Receivers
We introduce PolymoRF, a deep learning-based polymorphic receiver able to reconfigure itself in real time based on the inferred waveform parameters.

Shape the Future of Computing
ACM encourages its members to take a direct hand in shaping the future of the association. There are more ways than ever to get involved.
Get InvolvedCommunications of the ACM (CACM) is now a fully Open Access publication.
By opening CACM to the world, we hope to increase engagement among the broader computer science community and encourage non-members to discover the rich resources ACM has to offer.
