KR Chowdhary
M B M Engineering College
Jodhpur, India
 

K R Chowdhary’s long career in computer science began in the 1980s, in the age of Fortran and COBOL and 8080 microprocessors, where he designed microprocessor-based data acquisition systems while working at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre. After switching to academia, he taught computer languages, computer architectures, operating systems, computer networking, compilers, discrete mathematical structures, and theory of computation, at M.B.M. Engineering College (1985-2013), where he served as an associate professor and later professor and department head/chair.

Chowdhary also taught at Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur (2010-2017) and Jodhpur Institute of Engineering and Technology (2014-2020), where he also served as director. He has authored two books: Fundamentals of discrete mathematical structures and Fundamentals of artificial intelligence. He is an ACM Senior Member, an IEEE Senior Member, and an Institution of Engineers (India) Fellow. His interests include natural language processing, information retrieval, and the theory of computation. He has guided five PhDs in computer science, four of which have been awarded and one is still in process.

He has been a reviewer for Computing Reviews since 2021.


     

 Shortcut learning of large language models in natural language understanding
Du M., He F., Zou N., Tao D., Hu X. Communications of the ACM 67110-120, 2024.  Type: Article

Du et al. write: “The shortcut learning behavior has significantly affected the robustness of [large language models, LLMs].” Predictions in these models “rely on dataset artifacts and biases within the hypothesis sentence.”...

 

A demographic analysis on prerequisite preparation in an advanced data structures course
Krause-Levy S., Valstar S., Porter L., Griswold W. ACM Inroads 13(2): 2023.  Type: Article

This survey article aims to investigate the effects that prerequisite course proficiency has on course outcomes in an advanced data structure (ADS) course, specifically for Black, Latinx, Native American, and Pacific Islander (BLNPI) and transfer ...

 

Weighted synchronous automata
Gomes L., Madeira A., Barbosa L. Mathematical Structures in Computer Science 321234-1253, 2022.  Type: Article

The theory of finite automata (FA) is extensively studied, while Zadeh’s sets and fuzzy logic address real-world scenarios. This paper formalizes fuzzy automata’s behavior in dealing with uncertainty and vagueness inherent to computati...

 

On the model of computation: point: we must extend our model of computation to account for cost and location
Dally W. Communications of the ACM 65(9): 30-32, 2022.  Type: Article

The model of any process demonstrates its functionality and is useful for its study and analysis. For example, the Turing machine is a model for computation. However, the random-access machine (RAM) model is close to the architecture of serial pro...

 

On the model of computation: counterpoint: parallel programming wall and multicore software spiral: denial hence crisis
Vishkin U. Communications of the ACM 65(9): 32-34, 2022.  Type: Article

Vishkin’s counterpoint to Dally [1] talks about what the model of computation should now be in light of multicore processors (and their programming difficulties) and parallel processing. His view recommends a new model of computation, other ...
