Yael Tauman Kalai Receives 2022 ACM Prize in Computing

to view image click on

ACM has named Yael Tauman Kalai the recipient of the 2022 ACM Prize in Computing for breakthroughs in verifiable delegation of computation and fundamental contributions to cryptography. Kalai's contributions have helped shape modern cryptographic practices and provided a strong foundation for further advancements. Kalai has developed methods for producing succinct proofs that certify the correctness of any computation. This method enables a weak device to offload any computation to a stronger device in a way that enables the results to be efficiently checked for correctness.

Kalai is a Senior Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research and an Adjunct Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

The ACM Prize in Computing recognizes early-to-mid-career computer scientists whose research contributions have fundamental impact and broad implications. The award carries a prize of $250,000, from an endowment provided by Infosys Ltd.

ACM has named David B. Papworth, formerly of Intel (retired), as the recipient of the 2022 ACM Charles P. "Chuck" Thacker Breakthrough in Computing Award. Papworth is recognized for fundamental groundbreaking contributions to Intel’s P6 out-of-order engine and Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) processors. Papworth was a lead designer of the Intel P6 (sold commercially as the Pentium Pro) microprocessor, which was a major advancement over the existing state-of-the-art not just for Intel but for the broader computer design community.

The ACM Charles P. "Chuck" Thacker Breakthrough in Computing Award recognizes individuals or groups who have made surprising, disruptive, or leapfrog contributions to computing ideas or technologies. Recipients of the award are expected to give the ACM Breakthrough Lecture at a major ACM conference. The award is accompanied by a $100,000 cash prize, with financial support provided by Microsoft.

AWARDS

Call for Nominations for ACM Awards

Each year, ACM recognizes technical and professional achievements within the computing and information technology community through its celebrated Awards Program. ACM welcomes nominations for candidates whose work exemplifies the best and most influential contributions to our community, and society at large.

ACM seeks your help in building and diversifying the nomination pool for our ACM Awards. It is often the case that people wonder why a specific person who seems highly deserving has not received an ACM award. The common answer is that the person was never nominated.

Please take a moment to consider those individuals in your community who may be suitable for nomination. Refer to the award nominations page for nomination guidelines and the complete listing of Award Subcommittee Chairs and Members. Also keep in mind ACM's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion when nominating. Candidates for ACM Awards do not need to be members to be nominated.

The deadline for nominations for the main awards has passed. Other deadlines: ACM-IEEE CS George Michael Memorial HPC Fellowship, May 1; ACM-IEEE CS Ken Kennedy Award, June 30.


MEMBER RECOGNITION

Call for ACM Senior Member Nominations

The Senior Member advanced grade of membership recognizes ACM members with at least 10 years of professional experience and 5 years of continuous ACM Professional membership. Nominations are accepted on a quarterly basis. The deadline for nominations is June 3, 2023.

The 2023 ACM Federated Computing Research Conference will assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences and workshops into a week-long, co-located meeting in Orlando, Florida, USA. This model retains the advantages of the smaller conferences while at the same time facilitating communication among researchers in different fields of computer science and engineering.

Daily plenary speakers will be Kunle Olukoton (Stanford University), Margaret Martonosi (US National Science Foundation), 2012 A.M. Turing recipient Shafi Goldwasser (University of California Berkeley), Don Towsley (University of Massachusetts), and Torsten Hoefler (ETH Zurich). There will also be a plenary panel on "Reflecting on 50 Years of Computing Research, and Future Outlook," featuring Hagit Attiya (Technion), 2021 A.M. Turing Award recipient Jack Dongarra (University of Tennessee at Knoxville), Mary Hall (University of Utah), Lizy Kurian John (The University of Texas at Austin), and Guy L. Steele Jr. (Oracle Labs).

The technical program for each affiliated conference will be independently administered, and each is responsible for its own meeting's structure, content, and proceedings. To the extent facilities allow, attendees are free to attend technical sessions of other affiliated conferences co-located with their "home" conference.

Groundbreaking. Existential threat. Educational crisis. Investment bonanza. Double-edged sword. Impressive but still flawed.

These are a few of the first ten descriptors appearing in the results of a recent web search for "ChatGPT." Like almost no other technological development in recent memory, the seemingly sudden explosion of OpenAI's breakthrough "generative AI" software onto the world stage has illuminated computing's centrality to myriad spheres of daily life. But what really is generative AI and what's to be done with, to, and about it as its use—for better, worse, and other—accelerates around the globe? Our expert panel—Jeanna Matthews (Moderator), Paul DeMarinis, Ravi Jain, and Alejandro Saucedo—will dive into these questions, many more, and take yours too. Don't miss the next USTPC HotTopics webinar, "For 'Botter' or Worse: Chat GPT, the Universe, and Everything," on Wednesday, May 3, 10:30 am ET (2:30 pm UTC).

View the TechTalk, "Large Language Models and The End of Programming," with Matt Welsh, CEO and co-founder of Fixie. The field of Computer Science is headed for a major upheaval with the rise of large AI models such as ChatGPT, and a future in which it will no longer be necessary to write computer programs. Welsh believes that most software will eventually be replaced by AI models that, given an appropriate description of a task, will directly execute that task without requiring the creation or maintenance of conventional software. This talk will explore the implications of this prediction, drawing on recent research into the cognitive and task execution capabilities of large language models.
