[Amdnl] Academic Dishonesty in the Many Deep Convolutional Networks?

[Juyang Weng]

Dear ALL:

The ImageNet contests stirred up public interests in AI, which is 
positive. However, Contest practices that violate well-recognized 
engineering concepts gave false messages that misled government funding 
agencies, private foundations, industrial investors, and young or 
inexperienced new researchers. The associated fundamental limitations of 
the Contests will wane public interests sooner or later.

The moderators of connectionists at cmu appear to have operated in black 
box, imposed academic speech censorship, retaliated a post author by 
depriving him for two years of not only the freedom to post but also the 
rights to be notified by posts from others, and covered up academic 
dishonesty under a conflict-of-interest situation when a graduate 
student acted as a moderator.
