Evolutionary Algorithm Spawns ‘Living Robots’ from Frog Cells
When an evolutionary algorithm generates a successful robot design, the next step is usually to manufacture a physical robot from metals or plastics. Now, researchers are using living cells.
Automatic Translators are Not Really Capable of Learning
One does not get the impression the Google Translate and DeepL translation programs are self-learning and have made real progress.
Detecting/Preventing Infections, and Moving Instruction Online
Terrence DeFranco suggests the Internet of Things could be keeping us safer, and Jeremy Roschelle airs issues related to online instruction.
ACM A.M. Turing Award recipients Ed Catmull and Pat Hanrahan discuss how they helped to bring the power of three-dimensional imagery to computer graphics.
ACM A.M. Turing Award recipients, Ed Catmull and Pat Hanrahan, overcame industry indifference to found Pixar and put their computer graphics expertise to work.
Artificial intelligence makes sense of radio signals to understand what someone in another room is doing.
Contextual Word Representations: Putting Words into Computers
Advances in how programs treat natural language words have a big impact in AI.
We model the problem of identifying a good algorithm from data as a statistical learning problem.
Technical Perspective: Algorithm Selection as a Learning Problem
"Data-Driven Algorithm Design," by Rishi Gupta and Tim Roughgarden, addresses the issue that the best algorithm to use for many problems depends on what the input "looks like."
The ethics of artificial intelligence is increasingly part of school curricula. Will it lead to a better world?
Hospital wards, grocery stores, and food delivery services are turning to robotic devices to better navigate the pandemic.
Looking to Big Data, AI for COVID-19 Shutdown Exit Strategies
Crowdsourced data, artificial intelligence, and cryptography are emerging as vital tools for controlling transmission of COVID-19 as countries look for exit strategies.
Yes, but only if it runs on very different hardware, says Christof Koch of Seattle's Allen Institute for Brain Science.

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.
