The Holy Grail of Electric Vehicles: Solid-State Batteries
Manufacturers look to make batteries safer and help them last longer by replacing liquid cores with solid ones.
The Need For Combined Data And Analytic Governance
Numbers don't mean anything if people don't understand, or trust, the computation behind them.
(Re)Use of Research Results (Is Rampant)
Prior pessimism about reuse in software engineering research may have been a result of using the wrong methods to measure the wrong things.
HPC Forecast: Cloudy and Uncertain
An examination of how the technology landscape has changed and possible future directions for HPC operations and innovation.
The Lean Data Scientist: Recent Advances Toward Overcoming the Data Bottleneck
A taxonomy of the methods used to obtain quality datasets enhances existing resources.
Proving Data-Poisoning Robustness in Decision Trees
We present a sound verification technique based on abstract interpretation and implement it in a tool called Antidote, which abstractly trains decision trees for an intractably large space of possible poisoned datasets.
An ancient Roman dispatched to find the greatest technological advances of the time may lose something of far greater importance.
Computational Linguistics Finds Its Voice
Advances in artificial intelligence permit computers to converse with humans in seemingly realistic ways.

Technical Perspective: Beautiful Symbolic Abstractions for Safe and Secure Machine Learning
"Proving Data-Poisoning Robustness in Decision Trees," by Samuel Drews et al., addresses the challenge of processing an intractably large set of trained models when enumeration is infeasible in a clean, beautiful, and elegant manner.
The QR code, a convenient mechanism for delivering digital information to a reader, does not come with any human-readable way to ascertain safety. You have no way to tell whether it is potentially malicious.
Why the Simplex Method, at Age 75, is Still the Go-To Algorithm
Daniel A. Spielman and colleague Shang-hua Teng solved the mystery of the Simplex Method using a technique called smoothed analysis.
Why Data Security Is An Issue For Business Phone Systems In 2023

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.
