ACM Queue: Tomorrow's Computing Today

ACM Queue is a magazine of the Association for Computing Machinery, and its online version is available at this site. The publication strives to intelligently assess "the challenges expected to arise in the near term as emerging capabilities or technologies gain widespread acceptance." While it is targeted at computing professionals, many of its features are of interest to a general audience since...

BBC News Sci/Tech: Computers That Run Without Electricity

Scientists at the University of Notre Dame's Department of Electrical Engineering have developed "computer circuits that can be built to work without electricity -- a tiny initial charge is all that is needed." However, a major obstacle that needs to be overcome before the circuits can be useful is that they seem to work at temperatures just above absolute zero. This site is a news release from...

CAPTCHA Project: Telling Humans and Computers Apart (Automatically)

Many online services are being inundated by new users that are not people at all, but rather computer programs designed to sign up for thousands of free email accounts, cast votes in online polls, or perform other automated tasks. Since there needs to be some way to tell whether a user is a human or one of these programs, computer scientists at Carnegie Mellon University initiated the CAPTCHA...

Cornell University Center for Advanced Computing

The Cornell Theory Center (CTC) is "a high-performance computing and interdisciplinary research center." Projects conducted at the center have a wide range of topics, but the common focus of each is how sophisticated computer systems can analyze and classify data to solve problems. The CTC Web site has extensive information about its five main research programs, and there are several papers and...

Evaluation of Extractive Voicemail Summarization

This interesting paper outlines a framework for automatic summarization of voicemail messages and delivery as compact text messages. The proposed system, developed at the University of Sheffield, incorporates speech recognition technology and summary word extraction. An overview of the feature selection process is especially interesting, as it briefly describes how pitch, word duration, and pauses...
