Exploring a potential way to immensely speed up algorithms for the group isomorphism problem.

The apparent ability of LLMs to write functioning source code has caused celebration over the potential for massive increases in programmer productivity and consternation among teachers.

Leveraging precisely designed alternate realities as therapeutic tools.

Considering the interconnection of computing and human languages.

Applying AI techniques to journalism.

Fallout from an exploding bubble of hype triggered the real AI Winter in the late 1980s.

On keeping a laboratory notebook.

First-job readiness versus long-term career preparation.

Making conferences more accessible.

Why ethics is not enough.

Security must be a business enabler, not a hinderer.

Personal, team, and organizational effectiveness can be improved with a little preparation.

AI fairness should not be considered a panacea: It may have the potential to make society more fair than ever, but it needs critical thought and outside help to make it happen.

Challenges and opportunities faced by computing educators and students adapting to LLMs capable of generating accurate source code from natural-language problem descriptions.

Interacting with a contemporary LLM-based conversational agent can create an illusion of being in the presence of a thinking creature. Yet, in their very nature, such systems are fundamentally not like us.

Exploring how human apppreciation for and interactions with robots are influenced by anthropomorphic features.

A Google case study finds ML training in the cloud can reduce CO₂e emissions up to 100×.

An Algebraic Circuit for a multivariate polynomial P is a computational model for constructing the polynomial P using only additions and multiplications. It is a syntactic model of computation, as opposed to the Boolean Circuit model, and hence lower ...

The paper discusses algorithmic priority inversion in mission-critical machine inference pipelines used in modern neural-network-based perception subsystems and describes a solution to mitigate its effect. In general, priority inversion occurs in ...

From the intersection of computational science and technological speculation, with boundaries limited only by our ability to imagine what could be.

A race of AI beings from another world hang the fate of humanity on the decision of a single human.
