🏆 Ever thought there's a HiPEAC member who really deserves recognition? An award from the ACM, Association for Computing Machinery, perhaps? 🔎 ACM is seeking nominations for the 2024 edition, and the ACM Europe Council is keen to see more representation from Europe. As ACM Europe Council Chair (and HiPEAC member) Rosa M. Badia says, 'The European research community makes huge contributions to the field of computer science and information technology. We all know a HiPEAC member who is deserving of an ACM award – but they will only get one if they are nominated.' ❓ #DKY that there are a wide range of ACM awards, from the A.M. Turing Award, the association's most prestigious award, to doctoral dissertation awards? There are specialist awards like the Eckert-Mauchly for computer architecture and the Ken Kennedy for programmability, but also ones recognizing vital community work such as the Frances E. Allen Award for Outstanding Mentoring. 😇 So if you think there's a deserving HiPEAC member, make sure you nominate them! 👉 https://lnkd.in/dDuM_htv

Last week I attended the 26th ACM Conference On Computer-Supported Cooperative Work And Social Computing in Minneapolis. In addition to reconnecting and meeting new academic colleagues in the HCI field, I was excited to present our paper on ML-Based Teaching Systems: A Conceptual Framework.   💡 In the paper, my co-authors Niklas Kühl, Daniel Heinz, Gerhard Satzger, and I outline how in today's fast-paced world, there is an urgent need to share knowledge across organizations. However, conventional methods struggle with scalability. ML-based teaching systems can bridge this gap and reshape knowledge transfer. Using inductive content analysis, we identify core constructs of such ML-based teaching systems and develop a future research agenda.   🔥 For a brief summary, check out this Medium article: https://bit.ly/3QufI70 📚 If you are interested in the full paper, you can follow this link:  https://lnkd.in/e88uKBiv #CSCW2023 #ACM #machinelearning #humancomputerinteraction

【#1】The most popular (cited) ACM SIGCHI paper is our CHI '97 Tangible Bits paper. 😀 Tangible bits: towards seamless interfaces between people, bits, and atoms CHI '97: Proceedings of the ACM SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems Hiroshi Ishii & Brygg Ullmer https://lnkd.in/eGdRjGVk https://lnkd.in/eHAFNuRF The second notable contribution is my dear MIT Media Lab colleague, Prof. Pattie Maes's seminal paper on social filtering from 1995. Social information filtering: algorithms for automating “word of mouth” CHI '95: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems Upendra Shardanand & Pattie Maes https://lnkd.in/euh9PX9z I'm thrilled to acknowledge Pat Pataranutaporn for highlighting that the #1 and #2 SIGCHI most-cited papers originated from the MIT Media Lab. Our lab's legacy, deriving from the Architecture Machine Group, is a cornerstone in the evolution and future of HCI.

Many of our researchers are in Hawaii this week for #CHI2024 (the ACM SIGCHI Conference on Computer Human Interaction, pronounced “kai”). Highlights from our CMU authors include 40+ accepted papers, 3 awards presentations, 1 book signing, and 1 item that cannot be measured: connecting with our HCI friends and colleagues from around the world. Learn more about the CMU work at CHI 2024 here: https://lnkd.in/exACGten #cmuhcii #CarnegieMellon #HumanComputerInteraction Carnegie Mellon University, Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science

We're #UMNProud of Ph.D. student Jina Kim for winning First Place in the Graduate category of the ACM, Association for Computing Machinery Student Research Competition at SIGSPATIAL 2023! Read more here: z.umn.edu/KimSIGSPATIAL23

I'm sooo excited! To do list: 1) DE-colonize statistics 2) create algorithms of inclusion 3) spread the good word (science FOR all people is science BY all people)

Let’s look into The Fourth Global Forum on the Development of Computer Science (GFDCS), with dozens of experts like Professor Arvind, Faculty Head of MIT EECS Department, and Yannis Ioannidis, President of ACM, Association for Computing Machinery gathering! Two Turing Award Winners, Prof. Jack Dongarra and Prof. Andrew Yao, delivered several fascinating speeches with other talents on their opinions of this year’s theme "The Role of Computer Science in University #DevelopmentStrategies".
