Week Ending 8.29.2021
RESEARCH WATCH: 8.29.2021
Over the past week, 1,029 new papers were published in "Computer Science".
The paper discussed most in the news over the past week was by a team at The University of Sydney: "Nowcasting transmission and suppression of the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 in Australia" by Sheryl L. Chang et al (Jul 2021), which was referenced 34 times, including in the article Australian pandemic peak in sight, but we must brace for an infection surge in Medical Xpress. The paper author, Mikhail Prokopenko (The University of Sydney), was quoted saying "As of July 2021, there is a continuing outbreak of the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 in Sydney. The outbreak is of major concern as the Delta variant is estimated to have twice the reproductive number of previous variants that circulated in Australia in 2020, which is also worsened by low levels of acquired immunity in the population".
Leading researcher Dhruv Batra (Georgia Institute of Technology) published "The Surprising Effectiveness of Visual Odometry Techniques for Embodied PointGoal Navigation".
This week was very active for "Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence", with 147 new papers.
The paper discussed most in the news over the past week was by a team at Stanford University: "On the Opportunities and Risks of Foundation Models" by Rishi Bommasani et al (Aug 2021), which was referenced 9 times, including in the article POLITICO Pro AI: Decoded: Lights, spy camera, action — FTC vs bad algorithms — Supersized AI models in Politico.eu. The paper author, Mark Zuckerberg, was quoted saying "What I think is most interesting is how these themes will come together into a bigger idea. Our overarching goal across all of these initiatives is to help bring the metaverse to life."
Leading researcher Dhruv Batra (Georgia Institute of Technology) published "The Surprising Effectiveness of Visual Odometry Techniques for Embodied PointGoal Navigation".
This week was active for "Computer Science - Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition", with 257 new papers.
The paper discussed most in the news over the past week was by a team at The University of Adelaide: "Reading Race: AI Recognises Patients Racial Identity In Medical Images" by Imon Banerjee et al (Jul 2021), which was referenced 22 times, including in the article AI Makes Strangely Accurate Predictions From Blurry Medical Scans, Alarming Researchers in IFLScience. The paper author, Judy Gichoya, was quoted saying "That means that we would not be able to mitigate the bias".
Leading researcher Dhruv Batra (Georgia Institute of Technology) published "The Surprising Effectiveness of Visual Odometry Techniques for Embodied PointGoal Navigation".
This week was extremely active for "Computer Science - Computers and Society", with 99 new papers.

This week was active for "Computer Science - Human-Computer Interaction", with 30 new papers.
The paper discussed most in the news over the past week was by a team at Georgia Institute of Technology: "The Who in Explainable AI: How AI Background Shapes Perceptions of AI Explanations" by Upol Ehsan et al (Jul 2021), which was referenced 4 times, including in the article Even experts are too quick to rely on AI explanations, study finds in Venturebeat.
This week was very active for "Computer Science - Learning", with 295 new papers.
The paper discussed most in the news over the past week was by a team at OpenAI: "Evaluating Large Language Models Trained on Code" by Mark Chen et al (Jul 2021), which was referenced 30 times, including in the article GitHub Copilot Security Study: 'Developers Should Remain Awake' in View of 40% Bad Code Rate in Visual Studio Magazine. The paper author, Greg Brockman (OpenAI), was quoted saying "It could basically do any language task you would ask it. So the thing that was funny for us was to see that the applications that most captured people's imaginations, ones that most inspired people, were the programming applications, because we didn't make that model to be good at coding at all. And so we knew if we put in some effort we could probably make something happen."
Leading researcher Dhruv Batra (Georgia Institute of Technology) came out with "The Surprising Effectiveness of Visual Odometry Techniques for Embodied PointGoal Navigation".
Over the past week, five new papers were published in "Computer Science - Multiagent Systems".
The paper discussed most in the news over the past week was by a team at The University of Sydney: "Nowcasting transmission and suppression of the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 in Australia" by Sheryl L. Chang et al (Jul 2021)
Over the past week, 18 new papers were published in "Computer Science - Neural and Evolutionary Computing".
This week was active for "Computer Science - Robotics", with 49 new papers.
The paper discussed most in the news over the past week was "Motion-Aware Robotic 3D Ultrasound" by Zhongliang Jiang et al (Jul 2021), which was referenced 3 times, including in the article Robotic System For 3D Ultrasound Imaging in EFY. The paper author, Zhongliang Jiang, was quoted saying "To address this challenge, we propose a vision-based robotic ultrasound system that can monitor an object's motion and automatically update the sweep trajectory to provide 3D compounded images of the target anatomy seamlessly".
