Technology users are technology observers as well: monitoring for problems or opportunities that might arise.

Artists embody a diverse set of talents and interests. This gives them a rich array of experiences to draw upon in their work.

Meet the economic gangster. HeΓÇÖs the United Nations diplomat who double parks his Mercedes on a New York street at rush hour, because the cops canΓÇÖt touch him-he has diplomatic immunity.

Over the last decade we have made great strides towards improving the execution performance of virtual-machine (VM) based high level programming languages.

Entrepreneur, inventor and self-identified ΓÇ£troublemakerΓÇ¥ Paul Polak tells why mainstream poverty eradication programs have fallen so sadly short and how he and his organization developed an

The legendary Omaha investor has sworn never to write a memoir, but now has allowed one writer unprecedented access to explore directly with him and those closest to him his work, opinions

Information semantics bring the promise of ΓÇÿfittingΓÇÖ information with user interests by relating meaning with metadata and driving machine based discovery, contextual search and automatically

The template facility of C++, through some serendipity, provides powerful support for metaprogramming and compile-time reflection.

Augmented Reality requires accurate camera pose estimates to correctly render virtual graphics into the real world.

A holistic approach to detecting bottlenecks and hotspots is necessary when optimizing games that run on modern hardware.

The standard approach to generating test suites, manual generation of the test inputs in the suite, is tedious and error-prone, especially for code that takes complex test inputs.

Our nationΓÇÖs schools are dangerously obsolete.

Message passing is a very popular style of parallel programming, used in a wide variety of applications and supported by many APIs, such as BSD sockets, MPI and PVM.

Donald KnuthΓÇÖs ΓÇ£The Art of Computer ProgrammingΓÇ¥ on algorithms and their analysis is a classic text in computer science.

No organization can survive without iconoclasts: innovators who single handedly upturn conventional wisdom and manage to achieve what so many others deem impossible.

Every day we produce loads of data about ourselves simply by living in the modern world: we click webpages, flip channels, drive through toll booths, shop with credit cards, make cell phone calls.

Unexpectedly, JavaScript has become one of the world's most popular programming language while still remaining one of the world's most misunderstood.

From our vantage point, one could easily assume that the Internet fol¬lowed a deliberate, highly rational, and even obvious path from its be¬ginnings to today’s dominant networking technology.

We use segmentations to match images by shape. To address the unreliability of segmentations, we give a closed form approximation to an average over all segmentations.

Convex optimization is now widely used in control, signal processing, networking, communications, machine learning, finance, combinatorial optimization, and other fields.

I will first present our approach to real-timekeypoint recognition based on a Naïve Bayesian classification framework, and its applications to robust 3D object detection and tracking.

If you want to program a parallel computer, a purely functional language like Haskell is a promising starting point.

Deep packet inspection is playing an increasingly important role in novel network services.

The conventional wisdom in cryptography is that for greatest security one should choose parameters as randomly as possible.

Anthropologists are often interested in questions such as What

Peer-to-peer (P2P) technique has emerged as a promising scalable solution for live streaming to large group.
