Reaching New Heights with Artificial Neural Networks
ACM A.M. Turing Award recipients Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton, and Yann LeCun on the promise of neural networks, the need for new paradigms, and the concept of making technology accessible to all.
We have come a long way since the 1983 activation of the Internet and there is strong evidence that further evolution is to be expected as new technologies arrive to spark imagination and challenge engineers to improve on the past.
Is CS Really for All, and Defending Democracy in Cyberspace
Mark Guzdial mulls the difficulty of getting into a computer science class, while John Arquilla ponders political warfare in cyberspace.
Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton, and Yann LeCun this month will receive the 2018 ACM A.M. Turing Award for conceptual and engineering breakthroughs that have made deep neural networks a critical component of computing.
How long can the silicon foundry sector continue to adapt, as physical limits make further shrinkage virtually impossible?
An Interview with David Brin on Resiliency
Many risks of catastrophic failures of critical infrastructures can be significantly reduced by relatively simple measures to increase resiliency.

Research for Practice: Troubling Trends in Machine-Learning Scholarship
Some ML papers suffer from flaws that could mislead the public and stymie future research.
Programmable Solid-State Storage in Future Cloud Datacenters
Programmable software-defined solid-state drives can move computing functions closer to storage.
Heterogeneous Von Neumann/Dataflow Microprocessors
This work studies the potential of a paradigm of heterogeneous execution models by developing a specialization engine for explicit-dataflow (SEED) and integrating it with a standard out-of-order (OOO) core.

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.
