Computing Community Consortium Blog

The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.

Blue Sky Ideas- AAAI-20 Senior Member Presentation Track Open

July 9th, 2019 / in Announcements, Blue Sky / by Helen Wright

The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is sponsoring a Blue Sky Ideas Track at the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-20) in February 2020 in New York through their Senior Member Presentation Track (SMPT). SMPT provides an opportunity for established researchers in the AI community to give a broad talk on a well-developed body of research, an important new research area, or a promising new topic. These presentations should provide a big picture view, in contrast to regular papers, which may focus on a specific contribution. SMPT has two subtracks for submissions, which include summary talks and Blue Sky Ideas talks. The Blue Sky Ideas talk presentations are aimed at presenting […]

Great Innovative Idea- Recommender Systems: A Healthy Obsession

April 18th, 2019 / in Announcements, CCC, Great Innovative Idea / by Helen Wright

The following Great Innovative Idea is from Barry Smyth, the Digital Chair of Computer Science at University College Dublin and the Director of the Insight Centre for Data Analytics. Dr. Smyth was one of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) Blue Sky Track Conference Winners at AAAI-19 for his paper Recommender Systems: A Healthy Obsession. The Idea The idea of using AI and machine learning to help people to train more effectively for, and race in, marathons, and other endurance events. Impact I believe that it has the potential to change how people exercise, by helping them to train more efficiently and more safely. Other Research I work in the area […]

The goal of this track was to present ideas and visions that can stimulate the research community to pursue new directions, such as new problems, new application domains, or new methodologies. First place: Ana Paiva, Fernando P. Santos, and Francisco C. Santos Engineering Pro-Sociality with Autonomous Agents Second Place: John E. Laird and Shiwali Mohan Learning Fast and Slow: Levels of […]

AAAI Fall Symposium Series- Cognitive Assistance in Government and Public Sector Applications

October 31st, 2017 / in Announcements, research horizons, Research News / by Helen Wright

The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) is pleased to present the 2017 Fall Symposium Series, to be held Thursday through Saturday, November 9-11, at the Westin Arlington Gateway in Arlington, Virginia. One of the symposia is on Cognitive Assistance in Government and Public Sector Applications. Cognitive Assistance is an important focus area for AI. While it has several facets and still lacks a precise definition (one of the reasons for this Symposium!), it has been called Augmented Intelligence, the automation of knowledge work, intelligence amplification, cognitive prostheses, and cognitive analytics in the past. It is generally agreed that even while fully automated AI is still being developed, there […]
