Dr. Lance Eliot spends considerable time and detail in examining how the autonomous car will be included in the classic California 'car chase'. Also points to a number of his other examination of automobile/people behavioral…
Note similarity to the Wimbledon video clip management example. As I commented there I would also like this done as real-time assitistive commentary to business meetings. Say determine who has said they will do and when…
Somewhat weak attempt, but the general thought is interesting, yet how well can we predict without knowing future context?
We analyzed 16,625 papers to figure out where AI is headed next
Our study of 25 years of artificial-intelligence…
Today GigaIO announced that the company's FabreX technology has been selected as the winner of Connect's Most Innovative New Product Award for Big Data. The Most Innovative New Product Awards is an annual competition that recognizes…

Mission and Impact From the Chair Celebrating, supporting, and advocating for women in computing is the mission and motivating force behind the work of ACM-W. In this inaugural annual report we hope to show our many members and…
Free eBook that looks to be of interest. Clearly this is not a new thing, was a primary part of our early training. New methods have emerged though, and the computational power is now far superior, data is much more manipulable…
Links to other approaches I have recently seen in this area.

There's a serous debate on reforming Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. I am in the process of figuring out what I believe, and this is more a place to put resources and listen to people's comments. The EFF has written…
The newly formed ACM-W North America committee is up and running! We are currently working on establishing roles and responsibilities as well as the important task of identifying the goals we will be working towards over the…
The ACM Scholarship for Attendance of Research Conferences program provides support for women students in Computer Science and related programs who wish to attend research conferences. The student does not have to present a paper…
As I read this and the paper noted at the link, this could be a very big deal. Entropy is disorder .... and if we can accurately measure it, it leads to means of better models, measures, understanding and should lead to better…
Inevitable. But where is the data going and how is it used? Does the installation of cameras consider future advances that will use that data in more invasive ways? Such future use transparency does not now exist.
A World…
This came to mind as I shopped in the last week. No clear offers for my time or data were offered. Lots of 'apparent' offers that were easy to see through. I often do a simple forward forecast of the offer to see that it…
We readily reason and interact with incomplete information and the need to cooperate. Is this sample deceptively simple game challenge a way to model those kinds of human level contexts? More links to supporting information

My Programming Honors students are struggling with creating classes in C#. They really wanted me to code up a project live (again) and have them follow along. But I’ve used my usual examples and samples and projects already.Now…
The third High Performance Machine Learning Workshop has issued its Call for Papers. HPML2020 takes place May 11, 2020 in Melbourne, Australia in conjunction with CCGrid 2020. "This workshop is intended to bring together the

The Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) recently announced the start of the application period to attend the 8th annual HLF, which will take place September 20–25, 2020 in Heidelberg, Germany. Organized by the Heidelberg Laureate…
In this video from SC19, Peter Hanley from GIGABYTE describes how the company delivers a full range of server solutions for HPC, AI, and the Edge. "GIGABYTE is an industry leader in HPC, delivering systems with the highest GPU…
Today Schneider Electric and Iceotope announced the industry’s first commercially-available integrated rack with chassis-based, immersive liquid cooling. Optimized for compute-intensive applications, the solution combines a high…
Today Intel Labs unveiled what is believed a first-of-its-kind cryogenic control chip — code-named “Horse Ridge” — that will speed up development of full-stack quantum computing systems. Horse Ridge will enable control of multiple…
In this video from SC19, Derek Bouius from AMD describes how the company's new EPYC processors and Radeon GPUs can speed HPC and Ai applications. With its EPYC processors, Radeon Instinct accelerators, Infinity Fabric technologies…
All in? Most importantly to what.
Why your next transformation should be ‘all in'

Business transformation programs have long focused on productivity improvement—taking…
Interesting taxonomy of machine-learning failures (pdf) that encompasses both mistakes and attacks, or -- in their words -- intentional and unintentional failure modes. It's a good basis for threat modeling....
I am in the process of reviewing What can be computed: A Practical Guide to the Theory of Computation by John MacCormick and I need YOUR help for the first SENTENCE.
