Even Central Users Do Not Always Drive Information Diffusion
Diffusion speed and scale depend on all kinds of information, not just which users have the most or fewest connections.
SONYC: A System for Monitoring, Analyzing, and Mitigating Urban Noise Pollution
SONYC integrates sensors, machine listening, data analytics, and citizen science to address noise pollution in New York City.
Blockchains From a Distributed Computing Perspective
The roots of blockchain technologies are deeply interwoven in distributed computing.
Separation logic is a key development in formal reasoning about programs, opening up new lines of attack on longstanding problems.
Scalable Computation of High-Order Optimization Queries
We present a complete system that supports package queries, a new query model that extends traditional database queries to handle complex constraints and preferences over answer sets, allowing the declarative specification and efficient evaluation of a significant class of constrained optimization problems—ILP—within a database.
A stab at a definition, for outsiders, of what we in computing mean by the term "variable" raises more questions than it answers.
AI Removes the Drudgery from Legal Due Diligence
Software can review contracts, and more, faster and more accurately than lawyers.
Open Collaboration in an Age of Distrust
We are manifestly in a new era of international relations—"An Age of Distrust"—where the trend toward increased trade and integration has stalled, if not reversed.
Who Owns 3D Scans of Historic Sites?
Three-dimensional scanning can be used to protect or rebuild historic structures, but who owns that digital data?
Examining the potential legal consequences of using pricing algorithms.
CRISPR: An Emerging Platform for Gene Editing
Considering a potential platform candidate in the evolving realm of gene-editing technologies research.
SQL Is No Excuse to Avoid DevOps
Automation and a little discipline allow better testing, shorter release cycles, and reduced business risk.
Using Remote Cache Service for Bazel
Save time by sharing and reusing build and test output.
Research for Practice: Security for the Modern Age
Securely running processes that require the entire syscall interface.
The Church-Turing Thesis: Logical Limit or Breachable Barrier?
In its original form, the Church-Turing thesis concerned computation as Alan Turing and Alonzo Church used the term in 1936—human computation.
Framework for Implementing a Big Data Ecosystem in Organizations
Featuring the various dimensions of data management, it guides organizations through implementation fundamentals.
Autonomous Tools and Design: A Triple-Loop Approach to Human-Machine Learning
In addition to having a detailed understanding of the artifacts they intend to create, designers need to guide the software tools they use.
Intelligent Systems for Geosciences: An Essential Research Agenda
A research agenda for intelligent systems that will result in fundamental new capabilities for understanding the Earth system.
Face2Face: Real-Time Face Capture and Reenactment of RGB Videos
Face2Face is an approach for real-time facial reenactment of a monocular target video sequence (e.g., Youtube video). Our goal is to animate the facial expressions of the target video by a source actor and re-render the manipulated output video in a photo-realistic fashion.
Technical Perspective: Photorealistic Facial Digitization and Manipulation
If facial performance capture is possible for conventional RGB videos in real time, then believable facial expressions can be transferred effortlessly from one person to another in a live-action scenario. This capability is demonstrated by the system of Thies et al. detailed in "Face2Face: Real-Time Face Capture and Reenactment of RGB Videos."
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.
