Young Researchers: Apply for the 11th Heidelberg Laureate Forum, September 22–27, 2024

Young researchers are invited to apply for one of 200 coveted spots to participate in the 11th annual Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF). The invitation is open to undergraduates, graduate students and recent PhDs of mathematics and computer science (and closely related fields). The HLF offers all accepted young researchers the great opportunity to personally meet the recipients of the most prestigious prizes in their fields. For one week, recipients of the ACM A.M. Turing Award and the ACM Prize in Computing (Computer Science), and the Abel Prize, Fields Medal, and IMU Abacus Medal (Mathematics) will engage in a cross-generational scientific dialogue with young researchers in Heidelberg, Germany.

The 11th HLF will take place September 22–27, 2024. This prominent and versatile event combines scientific, social and outreach activities in a unique atmosphere, and is fueled by comprehensive exchange and scientific inspiration.

To be considered for participation, young researchers can either apply directly or be nominated by a colleague, professor, mentor, or manager. Applications must be submitted online by Friday, February 9, 2024, via the application page.

AWARDS

Call for Nominations for ACM Awards

Each year, ACM recognizes technical and professional achievements within the computing and information technology community through its celebrated Awards Program. ACM welcomes nominations for candidates whose work exemplifies the best and most influential contributions to our community, and society at large.

ACM seeks your help in expanding and diversifying the nomination pool for our ACM Awards. It is often the case that people wonder why a specific person who seems highly deserving has not received an ACM award. The common answer is that the person was never nominated.

Please take a moment to consider those people in your community who may be suitable for nomination. Refer to the award nominations page for links to individual award pages, where you will find nomination requirements, deadlines, and Award Subcommittee Members. Keep in mind ACM's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion when nominating. While candidates for advanced member grades (Fellow or Distinguished Member) must be ACM members, candidates for ACM Awards do not need to be members to be nominated. The deadline for most of this year's awards has already passed, but upcoming deadlines in 2024 are: SIAM/ACM Prize (March 1), Eckert Mauchly Award (March 30), and Gordon Bell Prize/Gordon Bell Prize for Climate Modelling (both April 15).

MEMBER RECOGNITION

Call for ACM Senior Member Nominations

The Senior Member advanced grade of membership recognizes ACM members with at least 10 years of professional experience and 5 years of continuous ACM Professional membership. Nominations are accepted on a quarterly basis. The deadline for nominations is March 3, 2024.

PUBLIC POLICY

USTPC Submits Recommendations to OMB for Implementation of President's AI Executive Order

On October 30, 2023, the President issued a sweeping Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence seeking, among many other objectives, to "ensure the responsible government deployment of AI and modernize federal AI infrastructure." To that end, in early November the Executive Branch's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requested public comment on a Draft Memorandum Regarding Advancing Governance, Innovation, and Risk Management for Agency Use of Artificial Intelligence.

In comments submitted early this month, ACM's US Technology Policy Council recommended that OMB:

Devise and implement a national strategy for the interoperability of digital services;
Emphasize ethical responsibility in AI design and deployment;
Address privacy from the beginning of the design and development process for AI systems; and
Standardize certain key definitions and concepts across all proposed regulations and policies.

USTPC's comments were principally drafted by Committee member Carlos E. Jimenez-Gomez and Committee Chair Larry Medsker. Also contributing were Past USTPC Chair Jim Hendler, Algorithms and AI Subcommittee Chair Jeanna Matthews, and Subcommittee members Ricardo Baeza-Yates, Simson Garfinkel, and Demetrios Kirkiles.

View on Demand: ACM TechTalk - "Redefining Human-AI Interaction in Programming" with Sandeep Kaur Kuttal

The ACM TechTalk - "Towards Seamless Collaboration: Redefining Human-AI Interaction in Programming," with Sandeep Kaur Kuttal is now available on demand.

In the current era, with the rise of "Agents"—particularly tailored Large Language Models (LLMs) for programmers—the optimization of Human-Agent collaboration stands as a critical imperative for elevating programmer productivity. This talk will delve into the complexities of attaining seamless interaction between humans and Agents, encompassing three pivotal dimensions: (1) the design of effective programming Agents; (2) the influence of gender, particularly in verbal interactions with an agent; and (3) the dynamics inherent in programmer-agent collaboration. Exploring the challenges and opportunities posed by these agents for programmers and the ensuing impact on code quality, Kuttal navigates the evolving landscape of collaborative programming paradigms with agents.

View on Demand: ACM TechTalk - “Unpredictable Black Boxes are Terrible Interfaces" with ACM Fellow Maneesh Agrawala

Now available on demand: the ACM TechTalk "Unpredictable Black Boxes are Terrible Interfaces" with ACM Fellow Maneesh Agrawala, ACM Fellow and Forest Baskett Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University.

Modern generative AI models are capable of producing surprisingly high-quality text, images, video, and even program code. Yet the models are black boxes, making it impossible for users to build a mental model for how the AI works. Users have no way to predict how the black box transmutes input controls into the output text, images, video, or code. In this talk, Agrawala asserts that such unpredictable black boxes are terrible interfaces and that the ambiguity of natural language and a lack of shared semantics between AI models and human users are partly to blame, and will suggest some approaches for improving the interfaces to the AI models.

acmqueue: "Improving Testing of Deep-learning Systems"

Researchers at Penn State show how a combination of differential and mutation testing results in better test data. They used differential testing to generate test data to improve diversity of data points in the test dataset and then used mutation testing to check the quality of the test data in terms of diversity. Combining differential and mutation testing in this fashion improves mutation score, a test data quality metric, indicating overall improvement in testing effectiveness and quality of the test data when testing deep learning systems.
