Technical Perspective: What Led Computer Vision to Deep Learning?
We are in the middle of the third wave of interest in artificial neural networks as the leading paradigm for machine learning. "ImageNet Classification with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks" is the paper most responsible for this third wave.
ImageNet Classification with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
In the 1980s backpropagation did not live up to the very high expectations of its advocates. Twenty years later, we know what went wrong: for deep neural networks to shine, they need far more labeled data and hugely more computation.
Understanding the psychology of learning strategies leads to effective problem-solving skills.
Lawmakers Seek to Expand Repair Options
End-users want to be able to repair their expensive electronics; manufacturers disagree.
St. Petersburg ITMO Team Wins First Place at ICPC World Finals
St. Petersburg ITMO University, a perennial contender in the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC), won the 2017 World Finals on Wednesday in Rapid City, South Dakota. The university's team has won the prestigious competition in seven of the last 13 years.
In Memoriam: Jean E. Sammet 1928-2017
Sammet was the first female president of ACM, and a pioneer in programming languages.
Researchers are working to imbue computing devices with sophisticated object recognition and tactile capabilities that could take computer sensing to an entirely new level.
Opening Ceremony Kicks Off ACM-ICPC as Competition Nears
Hundreds of people gathered in the theater at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center in Rapid City, S.D., on Monday (May 22) as students, coaches, and community members attended the 2017 ACM-ICPC Opening Ceremony.
Gaming and Touring Prep Students For Programming Contest
Students and coaches are exploring local attractions, playing competitive games, and attending the Competitive Learning Symposium in advance of the 2017 ACM International Collegiate Programming Competition.
ACM-ICPC Has Outgrown Its Humble Start
The ACM International Collegiate Programming Competition draws the best collegiate programmers from around the world, but it started as a humble statewide competition.
International Competitors Head to Rapid City For ACM-ICPC
Finalist teams from around the world descended on Rapid City, South Dakota this past weekend for the ACM-ICPC World Finals. Sightseeing and some cultural adjustments were in order.
Yes, you can make a project less late by adding manpower. If you are a good manager.
Exploiting Vector Instructions with Generalized Stream Fusion
Programmers should not have to sacrifice code clarity or good software engineering practices to obtain performance. This work shows how to attain this goal for high-level Haskell in the domain of sequence-processing functions.
Technical Perspective: Functional Compilers
"Exploiting Vector Instructions with Generalized Stream Fusion" points out that stream fusion by itself is not well suited for generating bulk instructions such as vector or SIMD instructions.
DeepDive: Declarative Knowledge Base Construction
We describe DeepDive, a system that combines database and machine learning ideas to help to develop knowledge base construction systems.
Technical Perspective: Building Knowledge Bases from Messy Data
"DeepDive: Declarative Knowledge Base Construction" is a prime example of groundbreaking work in the area of Knowledge Base Construction.
Modern applications are increasingly using probabilistic machine-learned models.
The fuzzer is for those edge cases that your testing did not catch.
Void safety, says Bertrand Meyer, relies on type declarations and static analysis.
User attitudes toward online intellectual property reveal how far social norms have strayed from legal notions of ownership.
Responsible Research and Innovation in the Digital Age
RRI requires doing the best science for the world, not only the best science in the world.
On a mission to boldly go where no man has gone before, the series and movies somehow missed some promising technologies . . .
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.
