The Agency Trilemma and ACM
Three-way conflict arises in professional societies, such as ACM, which have members, elected officials, and permanent staff. Aligning the interests of these three groups can be challenging.DEPARTMENT: Editor's letter
In Response to 'Vardi's Insights'
Moshe Vardi's column, "The Agency Trilemma and ACM," misrepresents some decisions and actions made in regard to ACM's Open Access model.DEPARTMENT: Career paths in computing
Promote Sustainability and Help Underserved Communities
Sustainability is the greatest challenge threatening mankind. The U.N.'s Sustainable Development Goals promote solutions for this threat. Computing, through a series of serendipitous events, has enabled me to join this fight. …DEPARTMENT: BLOG@CACM

Technical Perspective: A Logical Step Toward the Graph Isomorphism Problem
In "Isomorphism, Canonization, and Definability for Graphs of Bounded Rank Width," Grohe and Neuen show that the Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm in its plain form solves the isomorphism problem for bounded-rank width graphs.Isomorphism, Canonization, and Definability for Graphs of Bounded Rank Width
In this paper we study the graph isomorphism problem and the closely related graph canonization problem as well as logical definability and descriptive complexity on graph classes of bounded rank width.Technical Perspective: Robust Statistics Tackle New Problems
"Robustness Meets Algorithms," by Ilias Diakonikolas, et al., represents the beginning of a long and productive line of work on robust statistics in high dimensions.Robustness Meets Algorithms
We give the first efficient algorithm for estimating the parameters of a high-dimensional Gaussian that is able to tolerate a constant fraction of corruptions that is independent of the dimension.COLUMN: Last byte
