What if you had the superpower to accurately answer, in a few milliseconds, a multiple-choice question with a billion choices? The objective in extreme classification is to develop algorithms with such capabilities.
Speech and natural language processing of Indic languages is hugely important and relevant in India, where approximately 420-440 languages are in active use.
The Positive and Negative Effects of Social Media in India
Online social media services have had a profound impact in India, increasing digital literacy, disseminating more local language content, and more. The services have had negative effects as well.
The Rise of the Indian Start-Up Ecosystem
The rise of the Indian start-up ecosystem can be characterized by three major changes over the last decade that offer interesting insights for the start-up ecosystem in India and across the world.
India Stack – Digital Infrastructure as Public Good
Digital inclusion in India has taken off in a significant way in the last few years. The country is young, ambitious, and connected.
Research in Theoretical Computer Science
Indian undergraduate programs in computing date back to the early 1980s — a time that also saw the first generation of graduate students from India taking up theoretical computer science.
The Growth and Evolution of India’s Software Industry
The Indian software industry has matured from providing cost-effective back office support to driving the digital transformation of global companies.
Researchers and practitioners have used interactive voice response technology to create voice-based services that have found application in India's marginalized communities.
Highlights of Software R&D in India
India's achievement as a software superpower rests on decades of work spanning software processes, rigorous engineering, value-adding technologies, and other factors.
The debate engendered by the Aadhaar project has propelled India from being a predominantly pre-privacy society to one in which privacy protection in digital databases has emerged as a major national concern.
Technical Perspective: A Whitebox Solution for Blackbox-Like Behaviors
DeepXplore brings a software testing perspective to deep neural networks and, in doing so, creates the opportunity for enormous amounts of follow-on work in several ways.
The Five-Minute Rule 30 Years Later and Its Impact on the Storage Hierarchy
Tracing the evolution of the five-minute rule to help identify imminent changes in the design of data management engines.
An Elementary Introduction to Kalman Filtering
Demystifying the uses of a powerful tool for uncertain information.
DeepXplore: Automated Whitebox Testing of Deep Learning Systems
We design, implement, and evaluate DeepXplore, the first white-box framework for systematically testing real-world deep learning systems.
Technical Perspective: The Scalability of CertiKOS
The authors of "Building Certified Concurrent OS Kernels" illustrate that formal verification can scale up to a moderate-size program (6,500 lines of C) that has substantial shared-memory concurrency.
Unlocking Data to Improve Public Policy
When properly secured, anonymized, and optimized for research, administrative data can be put to work to help government programs better serve those in need.
Sampling-Based Robot Motion Planning
To address the computational challenges that arise when planning for robotic systems, traditional CS algorithms, tools, and paradigms must be revisited.
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.
