[quote=Anonymous]One thing I hope AOs can see through is research involving AI/machine learning. It is so so easy for adult researchers to publish papers on applying AI to their domain. Cancer detection? Feed the AI algorithm with thousands of pictures containing tumors, followed by thousands of different pictures containing no tumors. Then, test the algorithm on hundreds of brand new pictures and show that the accuracy is 85% (or whatever high number). Voila, that's a paper! No understanding is needed. Repeating this on problems from all kinds of other domains leads to a bunch of "scientific" papers being churned out. This is what's happening now in many academic fields. The fact that essentially no understanding is needed also means it's suitable for high schoolers (or anyone for that matter) to do "research" and publish "papers." Hope AOs are able to see through this, but I doubt it.[/quote]
