In days of 8-bit computers, one would sometimes encounter individuals who knew everything about a particular device or piece of software. Single programmers wrote entire applications or games, and some could debug their work by looking directly at a core dump (a printout of the numbers stored in the computer’s memory). Some even managed to […]

Phylogenetic trees and multiple sequence alignments are used in many biological analyses, including protein structure and function prediction, microbiome analysis, and the inference of human migrations. Yet, constructing these trees and alignments turns out to be much more difficult than expected on large datasets. Tandy Warnow explores these difficulties and how algorithm designers can best develop new methods to address these issues.

Everyone who writes about programming languages seeks to impose order on the chaos of extant languages. A common strategy is to borrow Thomas Kuhn’s concept of a scientific paradigm, itself a not uncontroversial attempt to explain the social processes of science in his famous book entitled The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (Kuhn, 1975). Following Kuhn, […]

Over the last two decades, the computational social choice research community has grown from a handful of enthusiasts to hundreds of researchers, who have painted a beautiful picture of the interaction between collective decision making and computer science. Our work on the Handbook of Computational Social Choice was motivated by the desire to celebrate the field’s […]
