Pieter Abbeel Receives 2021 ACM Prize in Computing

ACM has named Pieter Abbeel the recipient of the 2021 ACM Prize in Computing for contributions to robot learning, including learning from demonstrations and deep reinforcement learning for robotic control. Abbeel’s groundbreaking research has helped shape contemporary robotics and continues to drive the future of the field. Abbeel pioneered teaching robots to learn from human demonstrations (“apprenticeship learning”) and through their own trial and error (“reinforcement learning”), which have formed the foundation for the next generation of robotics.

Abbeel is a Professor at the University of California, Berkeley and the Co-Founder, President, and Chief Scientist at Covariant, an AI robotics company.

The ACM Prize in Computing recognizes early-to-mid-career computer scientists whose research contributions have fundamental impact and broad implications. The award carries a prize of $250,000, from an endowment provided by Infosys Ltd.

ACM Queue Presents: "Distributed Latency Profiling through Critical Path Tracing"

Brian Eaton and his colleagues at Google describe how CPT can provide actionable and precise latency analysis. For complex distributed systems that include services that constantly evolve in functionality and data, keeping overall latency to a minimum is a challenging task. In large, real-world distributed systems, existing tools such as RPC telemetry, CPU profiling, and distributed tracing are valuable to our understanding the subcomponents of the overall system, but are insufficient to perform end-to-end latency analyses in practice. Scalable and accurate fine-grain tracing has made Critical Path Tracing the standard approach for distributed latency analysis for many Google applications, including Google Search.
