How to Inspire K-12 Students to Study in Computing Disciplines in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Byte-A-Dynamo Workshops

Software engineering shouldn’t be gatekept to people who can afford an expensive degree. Recently, one group has been working hard to expand artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science teaching to students (ages 10-16) from low-income families in Maryland who have no or minimal computing backgrounds. Computing isn’t just for the elite; it’s for anyone with curiosity and creativity. But resources and training aren’t always widely accessible. That’s why a series of free workshops was introd

IEEE 3152: A Standard for Transparent Human and Machine Agency Identification

Introduction The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI), deepfakes, and automated decision-making systems has made it increasingly difficult for people to tell whether they are communicating with another human being, an AI, or a blend of both. This poses serious questions about trust, security, and social cohesion, especially in high-impact domains like healthcare, finance, and media. IEEE 3152—officially titled Standard for Transparent Human and Machine Agency Identification — addresses t

Computing’s Top 30: Dwith Chenna

For Dwith Chenna, actively engaging with professional organizations isn’t an obligation, it’s enlightened self-interest. Through this work with IEEE Computer Society and other organizations, he regularly connects with and learns from other professionals that he’d never encounter in daily life; through his work with conferences and publications, he engages with the latest research in his field, which feeds his own cutting-edge interests in creating solutions in computer vision, deep learning, an

Posit floating point numbers: thin triangles and other tricks (2019)

WARNING: Some numerical analysis and mathematics will be mentioned in passing. Also the number systems will not be treated like black-boxes. Risk of physical injury, however, is negligible. I like magic tricks. Watching the performer do the show and attempting to catch the “slight-of-hand” that makes the impossible seem possible. It’s fun and makes me believe in magic for a few moments. So I’m going to give a shot at doing some floating point magic tricks. Throughout my performance I’ll use
