Computing is an endless frontier in which we have an unending supply of new problems to confront in the search for new solutions.
Frode Hegland has developed three remarkable tools for text generation, viewing, and referencing that illustrate the power of applying computing to text.
Can we discover language in the vocalizations and/or gestures of non-human species? Within that question lies another: whether rich machine learning methods can demonstrate that interspecies communication is possible.
The resilience of the Internet with alternative paths, including satellite and undersea and land cable as well as high speed laser links, might play a critical part of overcoming the side effects of a major CME (coronal mass ejection) event.
What Does a Static, Sustainable Economy Look Like?
As resources diminish, research and innovation will be needed to compensate for their scarcity. How will computer science contribute to such a situation?
Half-Baked High-Resolution Referencing
I wonder whether time resolution, in addition to space resolution, might be a functionality to instantiate. Assuming that this would be an interesting capability, it remains to figure out how to implement it.
Manufactured goods today do not seem to take into account the possibility of repair.
It is apparent that the world needs thoughtful and technically credible debate on alternatives for containing the problem of harmful behavior on the Internet.
On the Internet of Medical Things
It is entirely feasible to imagine the Internet of Medical Things with a significant capacity for remote medical diagnosis and triage.
