Technical Perspective: Making Sleep Tracking More User Friendly
"LIBS: A Bioelectrical Sensing System from Human Ears for Staging Whole-Night Sleep Study" provides a nice balance in terms of minimizing the burden on users and the granularity at which we can automatically track various measures of sleep.
LIBS: A Bioelectrical Sensing System from Human Ears for Staging Whole-Night Sleep Study
We explore a new form of wearable systems, called LIBS, that can continuously record biosignals such as brain wave, eye movements, and facial muscle contractions, with high sensitivity and reliability.
Scalable Intelligent Systems by 2025
People are fundamental to a Scalable Intelligent System; there is no computer-only solution that can implement such a system.
Detecting Mental Illness by Watching You Type
Show us how you type, and artificial intelligence may be able to identify whether you suffer from a brain disorder.
Using artificial intelligence to process medical sensor data can have great impact on health-related costs and outcomes.
Artificial intelligence video system sends smartphone messages based on how you move.
Can We Use AI for Global Good?
Amir Banifatemi observes how the AI for Good Summit "allowed us to start a dialogue, find a common frame of reference, and decide how our steps would be smart and structured."
The Dangers of Automating Social Programs
Is it possible to keep bias out of a social program driven by one or more algorithms?
Floating Voxels Provide New Hope for 3D Displays
In search of holograms that can be viewed from any angle.
The Mythos of Model Interpretability
In machine learning, the concept of interpretability is both important and slippery.
Formally Verified Software in the Real World
Verified software secures the Unmanned Little Bird autonomous helicopter against mid-flight cyber attacks.
Human-Level Intelligence or Animal-Like Abilities?
What just happened in artificial intelligence and how it is being misunderstood.
Enabling Highly Scalable Remote Memory Access Programming with MPI-3 One Sided
In this work, we design and develop bufferless protocols that demonstrate how to implement the MPI-3 RMA interface and support scaling to millions of cores.
Technical Perspective: The Future of MPI
"Enabling Highly Scalable Remote Memory Access Programming with MPI-3 One Sided" convincingly shows that the potential of MPI one-sided communication can be realized.
Fundamental Concepts of Reactive Control for Autonomous Drones
We conceive a notion of reactive control that allows drones to execute the low-level control logic only upon recognizing the need to, based on the influence of the environment onto the drone operation.
Technical Perspective: A Control Theorist’s View on Reactive Control for Autonomous Drones
"Fundamental Concepts of Reactive Control for Autonomous Drones" introduces the notion of "reactive control" in which an autopilot's control logic is run only intermittently based on whether readings from sensors indicate a need to react to something in the environment.
Detecting Illness by Watching You Type
Show us how you type, and artificial intelligence may be able to identify your brain disorder.
This is a plea to the technical community working in the domain of natural language processing and natural language understanding to appreciate the difference between the two, and to set some standards in the public media that seem now to be seriously inappropriate.
AI Helps Doctors Use Data Better
Using artificial intelligence to process medical sensor data can have a significant impact on health-related costs and outcomes.
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.
