Courses could have thousands of students, students could teach. We'll see the death of the classic lecture and the birth of the computer tutor

Today, many scientific fields can be described as data-intensive disciplines, which turn raw data into information and then knowledge. If this sounds familiar it’s because this represents the late and influential computer scientist Jim Gray’s vision of the fourth research paradigm.

The world's oldest original working digital computer is going on display at The National Museum of Computing in Buckinghamshire.

“It’s not humanly possible to practice the best possible medicine. We need machines” “A machine like that, with massively parallel processing, is like 500,000 of me sitting at Google and Pubmed, trying to find the right information.”

Researchers in Aalto University have developed a new concept for computing, using water droplets as bits of digital information. This was enabled by the discovery that upon collision with each other on a highly water-repellent surface, two water droplets rebound like billiard balls.

At some point within the next decade, according to proponents of the Singularity, machines will become so intelligent that they will start making decisions for us in ways that we could never imagine or understand.

Tips to stay creative.

Computer Vision Central was created to fill a gap between the informal discussions of colleagues and the formal structure of peer-reviewed conferences and journals. The more that people in computer vision and its allied areas participate, the more valuable it will become to you.
