Big Data and National Priorities

2020 Quadrennial Papers

Every four years the Computing Research Association, through its subcommittees, publishes a series of white papers called Quadrennial Papers that explore areas and issues around computing research with potential to address national priorities. The white papers attempt to portray a comprehensive picture of the computing research field detailing potential research directions, challenges, and recommendations.

Imagine All the People: Citizen Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Computational Research

Lea A. Shanley (University of Wisconsin-Madison; International Computer Science Institute, Berkeley, CA), Lucy Fortson (University of Minnesota), Tanya Berger-Wolf (The Ohio State University), Kevin Crowston (Syracuse University), Pietro Michelucci (Human Computation Institute)

Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and deep learning have advanced significantly over the past decade. Nonetheless, humans possess unique abilities such as creativity, intuition, context and abstraction, analytic problem solving, and detecting unusual events. To successfully tackle pressing scientific and societal challenges, we need the complementary capabilities of both humans and machines.

Taking Stock of the Present and Future of Smart Technologies for Older Adults and Caregivers

Harrington (DePaul University), Ben Jelen (Indiana University), Amanda Lazar (University of Maryland), Aqueasha Martin-Hammond (Indiana University Purdue University – Indianapolis), Alisha Pradhan (University of Maryland), Blaine Reeder (University of Missouri), and Katie Siek (Indiana University)

Older adults should be involved in the design process of technology for them – from initial ideation to product development to deployment. This paper encourages federally funded researchers and industry to create compensated, diverse older adult advisory boards to address stereotypes about aging while ensuring their needs are considered.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence at the Edge

Sujata Banerjee (VMware Research) and Elisa Bertino (Purdue University)

Could AI better support societal needs if it were deployed at the edge of the network, close to application end-points, as opposed to in a centralized cloud? This white paper examines those potential uses and identifies requirements and areas of research that need to be explored before implementation of AI systems at the edge can be realized.

Artificial Intelligence and Cooperation

Elisa Bertino (Purdue University), Finale Doshi-Velez (Harvard University), Maria Gini (University of Minnesota), Daniel Lopresti (Lehigh University), and David Parkes (Harvard University)

This paper argues for further research in AI and human cooperation in order to understand the ways in which systems of AIs and people, working together, can engender cooperative behavior. Through a set of illustrative examples, a broad research agenda for this goal is laid out incorporating aspects of AI architectures, collaborative human-AI systems, economic viewpoints, and human preferences and control.

Interdisciplinary Approaches to Understanding Artificial Intelligence’s Impact on Society

Suresh Venkatasubramanian (University of Utah), Nadya Bliss (Arizona State University), Helen Nissenbaum (Cornell University), and Melanie Moses (University of New Mexico)

Among the convenience and opportunities that AI brings to the table, these systems also produce a multitude of problems including seemingly racial or gender-biased algorithms, infringements on citizens’ privacy or freedom or deepening inequalities among different groups. This paper calls for an interdisciplinary approach that incorporates the expertise from a broad set of disciplines and application domains to gain a deeper understanding of how technology and society interact in order to avoid these negative impacts from AI technologies.

Sujata Banerjee (VMware Research), Yiling Chen (Harvard University), Kobbi Nissim (Georgetown University), David Parkes (Harvard University), Katie Siek (Indiana University Bloomington), and Lauren Wilcox (Georgia Institute of Technology)

Via the Internet and IoT systems, there is an increasing amount of data being collected on individuals every day. This paper dives into the big questions related to this phenomenon, such as who owns the data, the implications for using, controlling, and quantifying the data, and, most importantly, how to best protect citizens’ privacy.

A National Research Agenda for Intelligent Infrastructure: 2021 Update

Daniel Lopresti (Lehigh University) and Shashi Shekhar (University of Minnesota)

In 2017, the CCC produced a series of intelligent infrastructure whitepapers, and in 2020 CCC issued a set of companion whitepapers on closely related topics. This paper briefly surveys those earlier works and then highlight four themes of rising national prominence where intelligent infrastructure can also play an enabling role, driven by experiences with the COVID-19 pandemic and the social justice movement.

Pandemic Informatics: Preparation, Robustness and Resilience *

Elizabeth Bradley (University of Colorado Boulder), Madhav Marathe (University of Virginia), Melanie Moses (University of New Mexico), William Gropp (University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign), and Daniel Lopresti (Lehigh University)

In light of the recent pandemic, this paper outlines an effective strategy to reduce the impact of global pandemics stressing early detection, predicting the public’s reaction and developing effective policies. These aims require research and technological advancements in a number of areas, particularly in how informatics infrastructure can be used to assist in global outbreaks and better prepare for the next health crisis.

*The ever-changing dynamics of the pandemic and the continuing conversations of the Pandemic Informatics: Preparation, Robustness, and Resilience authors has spurred a monthly pandemic addendum series. “Each phase of the pandemic has had lessons to teach, and it seems prudent to do our best to document them as they arise so that we can learn from them.”

Infrastructure for Artificial Intelligence, Quantum and High Performance Computing

Sujata Banerjee (VMware Research), William Gropp (University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign), and Ian Foster (University of Chicago)

This paper breaks down the barriers separating AI, Quantum, and High Performance Computing (HPC). It calls for combining resources to support these critical areas, and highlights synergies between them. The goal is to bridge current gaps between these three areas and use the infrastructure from one discipline to catalyze progress in another.

Robotics Enabling the Workforce

Henrik Christensen (UC San Diego), Maria Gini (University of Minnesota), Odest Chadwicke Jenkins (University of Michigan), and Holly Yanco (University of Massachusetts, Lowell)

This paper portrays how robotics can aid and leverage the workforce by increasing automation and providing new opportunities for workers. It outlines necessary investments in research, technology development, education, training and policy, but most critically, we need research to understand how future robot technologies can compliment our workforce to get the best of both human and automated labor.

A Research Ecosystem for Secure Computing

Nadya Bliss (Arizona State University), Lawrence A. Gordon (University of Maryland), Daniel Lopresti (Lehigh University), Suresh Venkatasubramanian (University of Utah), and Fred Schneider (Cornell University)

In today’s world tech developers are more focused on the capabilities of the technology rather than the security. This paper stresses the importance of prioritizing security in the design phase and identifies specific focus areas for research and funding that touch on transition and adoption, training/education, and incentive structures for better security.
