The ability to hack algorithms and make data structures optimal was a virtue of programmers a few decades ago. The current reality is much different, with the ability of programmers to work remotely, communicate, and share information emphasized as more valuable skills today.
The creators of malicious code could be unmasked by a machine learning de-anonymizer.
Seeding a Level Playing Field for ‘Dr. AI’
Algorithms must be trained on current health data to be useful.
In Memoriam: Burton J. Smith 1941–2018
Smith was well-known as a leader in high-performance computer architecture and programming languages for parallel computers.
ACM is under significant pressure to move from a subscription-based to an open access publishing model. Such a transition is exceedingly challenging and would threaten ACM's financial viability, a risk that must be taken seriously.
Continuous Delivery Sounds Great, but Will It Work Here?
It's not magic, it just requires continuous, daily improvement at all levels.
The DevOps methodology has come of age in the past several years, and organizations are adopting key DevOps practices to transform their software practices.
Containers Will Not Fix Your Broken Culture (and Other Hard Truths)
Complex socio-technical systems are hard; film at 11.
Technical Perspective: Expressive Probabilistic Models and Scalable Method of Moments
The authors of "Learning Topic Models—Provably and Efficiently," developed a new method for fitting topic models and at large scale.
Building a Smart City: Lessons from Barcelona
Smart Internet-based infrastructure is one thing but will be ignored without the public's continuing engagement.
Lessons from Building Static Analysis Tools at Google
For a static analysis project to succeed, developers must feel they benefit from and enjoy using it.
Realizing the Potential of Data Science
Data science promises new insights, helping transform information into knowledge that can drive science and industry.
Learning Topic Models – Provably and Efficiently
This article shows that some new theoretical algorithms that have provable guarantees can be adapted to yield highly practical tools for topic modeling.
Chips for Artificial Intelligence
Companies are racing to develop hardware that more directly empowers deep learning.
Artificial (Emotional) Intelligence
Enabled by advances in computing power and neural networks, machines are getting better at recognizing and dealing with human emotions.
Two teams, blue and red, play a game in which Red has a submarine we call October, as in Tom Clancy's novel The Hunt for Red October.
Bootstrap World has developed online courses in programming, among other subjects, but what makes Bootstrap World so memorable for me is that the team has focused heavily on accessibility.
Earbud Translators: Not Perfect, Still Handy
Utility is high, even though the translations may be limited.
Examples of Phenomenology in Computing
The branch of philosophy known as phenomenology can broaden our understanding of what is really going on in the tasks we address with computing.
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.
