11 cra.org/crn August 2021 Using AI to Detect Gravitational Waves

By CCC Staff

Gravitational waves, ‘ripples’ in space-time caused by some of the most violent and energetic processes in the Universe, were first predicted by Albert Einstein in 1916 in his general theory of relativity. Proof of their existence didn’t arrive until 1974. Then on September 14, 2015 the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) physically sensed the undulations in spacetime caused by gravitational waves generated by two colliding black holes 1.3 billion light-years away.

Now, Computing Community Consortium (CCC) Council member Ian Foster (Argonne National Laboratory and University of Chicago) and his colleagues have published a paper in the journal Nature Astronomy showing that the hunt for gravitational waves across the universe can be supercharged by using artificial intelligence. They were able to successfully process an entire month’s worth of advanced LIGO data in just seven minutes, using reusable artificial intelligence (AI) models, identifying all four binary black hole mergers previously identified in this dataset and reporting no misclassification.

As a computer scientist, what’s exciting to me about this project is that it shows how, with the right tools, AI methods can be integrated naturally into the workflows of scientists — allowing them to do their work faster and better — augmenting, not replacing, human intelligence,” Ian Foster, said in the Argonne National Laboratory Press Release.

12 cra.org/crn August 2021 Visions in Theoretical Computer Science Workshop Report: A Report on the TCS Visioning Workshop 2020

By CCC Staff

Roughly every ten years the Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) community comes together for a visioning workshop to discuss recent accomplishments and new challenges in the field of TCS. The workshop acts as an opportunity for reflection within the community and a way of informing interested investors. The newly released Visions in Theoretical Computer Science Workshop Report, written by Shuchi Chawla (University of Wisconsin-Madison), Jelani Nelson (University of California, Berkeley), Chris Umans (California Institute of Technology), and David Woodruff (Carnegie Mellon University) and supported by the Computing Community Consortium, summarizes the key takeaways from the 2020 TCS Visioning Workshop.

Organized by the SIGACT Committee for the Advancement of Theoretical Computer Science, the July 2020 TCS Visioning Workshop was held online with over 70 participants. Participants spanned a broad range of areas within the discipline including data-driven algorithms, coding theory and communication, complexity theory, optimization, cryptography, foundations of machine learning and data science, sublinear algorithms, distributed computing, economics and computer science, fairness and social good, privacy, and quantum computing.

Participants were divided into four categories for a series of discussions: (1) models of computation; (2) foundations of data science; (3) cryptography; and (4) using theoretical computer science for other domains. Key takeaways from these discussions were synthesized and made into ‘nuggets’ each summarizing a particular point. The 2020 TCS Visioning Workshop Report is made up of 36 nuggets that identify the challenges, potential research directions, and progress in the TCS field over the past decade.

The goal of the report is to show that TCS is vital to the health and success of the field of computer science and technological progress as a whole. It calls for the robust support of the foundational work in TCS to enable unrestricted research and development in the field that will in turn allow for TCS to have the greatest possible impact on society and technology.

13 cra.org/crn August 2021 CCC/Code 8.7 Applying AI in the Fight Against Modern Slavery Workshop Report Released

By CCC Staff

The Computing Community Consortium (CCC), along with Code 8.7, is pleased to announce the release of the CCC / Code 8.7 Applying AI in the Fight Against Modern Slavery Workshop Report. This March 2020 workshop brought together over 50 members of the computing research community along with anti-slavery practitioners and survivors to lay out a research roadmap aimed at applying AI to the fight against human trafficking.

The primary goal was to explore ways in which long-range research in artificial intelligence (AI) could be applied to the fight against human trafficking. Building on the kickoff Code 8.7 conference held at the headquarters of the United Nations in February 2019, the focus for this workshop was to link the ambitious goals outlined in the A 20-Year Community Roadmap for Artificial Intelligence Research in the US (AI Roadmap) to challenges vital in achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal Target 8.7, the elimination of modern slavery.

In the time since the workshop took place, the world was slammed by a global pandemic. Social unrest also rocked a number of countries, including the US. The resulting report reflects discussions at the March 2020 workshop with an awareness of the events of the past year.
