Chellappa, S. Theodoridis, A. van Schaik) have presented an <a href="https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/9420077">overview of the articles</a> in this special issue.</p> <p>ML has made great strides in the past decade and is now one of the major applications of computing.  In most cases, this has been achieved using deep neural networks, where the interconnections between the neurons are obtained automatically by extensive training using large quantities of real data.  This is extremely compute-intensive, and may be limiting the future evolution of ML.</p> <p>The editors have selected 14 articles on a wide range of research approaches to improve the performance of ML systems.  These cover theory, applications, and hardware implementations.  Topics include causal inference, anomaly detection, neuromorphic chips, and application to medical imaging.  The Table of Contents for the entire issue is available <a href="https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/tocresult.jsp?isnumber=9420072&punumber=5">here.</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p></div> <div class="clearfix"></div></div>  </div> <div id="hpR1P3" class="col-md-3">  <div ><h2>Technology Spotlight</h2> <div itemprop="articleBody"> <p><strong>Efficient Computer Vision for Embedded Systems</strong></p> <p>In the April 2022 issue of <em>Computer</em> magazine, an expert panel discusses <a href="https://www.computer.org/csdl/magazine/co/2022/04/09755195/1Cubx6Twc5G">"Efficient Computer Vision for Embedded Systems,"</a> focusing on the <a href="https://lpcv.ai/">Low-Power Computer Vision Competition</a>, which is a part of the TFRC.</p> <p><strong>The Hard Tech Revolutionizing Computing:  A Guided Journey of IBM Research</strong></p> <p><em>Dr. Dario Gil, Director of IBM Research</em></p> <p><a href="https://www.research.ibm.com/">IBM Research</a> has one of the world’s largest programs in R&D of advanced computing.  The Director of IBM Research is <a href="https://researcher.watson.ibm.com/researcher/view.php?person=us-dgil">Dr. Dario Gil</a> . In May, Dr. Gil led an online presentation with featured interviews with leading IBM researchers in several areas of computing research, which is now available as a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyVSVn7jeRg">YouTube video</a>.</p> <p>This video is segmented into several parts:</p> <p>1)  Opening remarks</p> <p>2)  Overview of Advanced Semiconductor Fabrication</p> <p>3)  Quantum Computing</p> <p>4)  AI Language Processing Applied to Coding</p> <p>5)  The Hybrid Cloud</p> <p>Regarding semiconductor fabrication, Dr. Gil and colleagues described recent 7 nm and 5 nm processes, leading to the newly developing 2 nm process.  They also featured IBM System Z servers for data centers and cloud computing.</p> <p>Quantum computing at IBM is based on a developing technology of superconducting qubits, cooled to ultralow temperatures of 15 millidegrees Kelvin.  But these systems are interfaced with and controlled by classical computers, which in turn can be accessed remotely by researchers around the world.  These hybrid classical/quantum computing systems promise tremendous performance enhancements in future computing.</p> <p>The use of AI for natural language translation is well known.  IBM has a research project examining legacy computer code, of which millions of lines exist.  Similar language translation techniques are being used to translate, categorize, and reorganize this code, enabling it to be updated without massive programmer involvement.  Similar techniques are also being applied to chemistry databases, which are full of non-text symbols and diagrams.</p> <p>Finally, IBM researchers are working on developing universal high-level techniques to interact with the “hybrid cloud” as if it were a single infinite computer. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p></div> <div class="clearfix"></div></div>  </div> <div id="hpR1P4" class="col-md-3">  <div ><h2>Useful Links</h2> <div itemprop="articleBody"> <ul style="line-height: 1.8em;"> <li> <p><a href="/archived-articles-and-videos/useful-links/confluence">Cybersecurity Report</a><a href="https://www.computer.org/press-room/2020-news/ieee-computer-society-reveals-2021-technology-predictions"></a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.computer.org/press-room/2020-news/ieee-computer-society-reveals-2021-technology-predictions">IEEE Computer Society 2021 Technology Predictions Report</a></p> </li> <li><a href="https://cra.org/ccc/physics-engineering-issues-in-adiabatic-reversible-classical-computing-plenary-presentations/">2020 CCC Workshop on Physics and Engineering Issues in Reversible/Adiabatic Classical Computing</a></li> <li><strong><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="/archived-articles-and-videos/technology-spotlight/video-on-ieee-rebooting-computing">Rebooting Computing Video Overview</a></strong></li> <li><a href="http://www.ieee.org/about/technologies/index.html">IEEE Future Directions</a></li> <li><a href="https://cmte.ieee.org/futuredirections/category/blog/">IEEE Future Directions Blog</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.computer.org/csdl/mags/cs/2017/02/mcs2017020004.html"><em>Computing in Science and Engineering</em> on the End of Moore's Law</a></li> <li><a href="/archived-articles-and-videos/general/jxcdc">IEEE Journal of Exploratory Solid-State Computational Devices and Circuits (JXCDC)</a></li> <li><a href="http://cra.org/ccc/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/12/15447-CCC-ARCH-2030-report-v3-1-1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arch2030 Workshop Report</a> (PDF, 948 KB)</li> <li><a href="http://ornlcda.github.io/neuromorphic2016/program.html">Workshop on Neuromorphic Computing</a></li> <li><a href="http://beyondcmos.ornl.gov/agenda.html">Workshop on Beyond CMOS Technology</a></li> <li><a href="/archived-articles-and-videos/general/update-on-nsci">Update on National Strategic Computing Initiative (NSCI)</a></li> <li><a href="/archived-articles-and-videos/general/sensible-machine">RC White Paper on Nanocomputers</a></li> <li><a href="/archived-articles-and-videos/general/computer-magazine-december-2015"><em>IEEE Computer Magazine</em> on Rebooting Computing</a></li> </ul> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.computer.org/communities/technical-committees" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img title="IEEE Computer Society Technical Committees" src="/images/files/images/join-tcs.png" alt="IEEE Computer Society Technical Committees" width="180" height="150" /></a></div> <div></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.ieee.org/membership-catalog/productdetail/showProductDetailPage.html?product=CMYTFRC733" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="img-responsive center-block" title="Stay Connected -
