Is CS becoming like particle physics? They should also mention the very nice recent flow of ideas from theoretical physics into the field of probabilistic inference: Many algorithms that make the analysis of these data sets possible either originate from or are widely used in [particle] physics. Examples include message-passing, mean-field methods, variational inference, monte-carlo methods, and many others.
