<p>Dear Li Fei-Fei:</p>
<p>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8">
I am attaching the email below that I sent to MSU CSE faculty
for your information
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8">
<br>
with CC to all people whose names were mentioned in my blog,
except <br>
Zhou Qiang and Xi Jinping whose emails are not available. <br>
I plan to send express mails to Zhou Qiang and Xi Jinping.</p>
<p>Please feel free to give me your responses about my questions
in the blog.</p>
<p>I hope that Profs. Pietro Perona and Christof Koch could tell
us some context about <br>
Li Fei-Fei's PhD thesis.</p>
<p>Chris, I did not meant to give Fei-Fei a hard time, but these
issues are important<br>
to the AI field's future and should be openly discussed. <br>
These issues are not personal, but instead academic. <br>
</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
<p>-John<br>

<p>Dear Colleagues,</p>
<p>Normally, Facebook posts should not belong to this list,
but many of you are <br>
probably interested in the issue of plagiarism, especially
when you supervise<br>
your students. Each of us is supposed to spend at least
one hour each year on the<br>
issue of research ethics with each of our students. <br>
</p>
<p>I wonder how my respected Profs. Pietro Perona and Christof
Koch at Cal Tech <br>
supervised their PhD student Li Fei-Fei who is now at
Computer Science department <br>
of Stanford University, very successful in getting
recognition and funding. <br>
<br>
For the following highly sensitive information about
plagiarism, I would like to get <br>
your inputs, from this list or private. Either version is
greatly appreciated. <br>

Somebody wrote on sciencenet.cn, "people do not cite
publications that helped them."<br>
Prof. Tomaso Poggio at MIT also did exactly that. He also
successfully got a lot of fund,<br>
being the director of a series of NSF funded centers on
machine learning at MIT.<br>
The Plagiarism report we submitted to MIT and NSF mentioned
in the above post is <br>
to charge Prof. Poggio, although I did not mention his name.<br>
</p>
<p>Li Fei-Fei is a lady. I hesitated for many years because
she is a lady. I do not have <br>
any bias against women in STEM. I am sorry, ladies. <br>
</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
<p>-John<br>
