Thames Valley police admitted to Choudhury the arrest “may have been the result of bias within facial recognition technology”.
No, the bias wasn’t within the technology.
“…plans in early 2024 to scan “all the books in the world” to teach their AI tool “how to write well”.“ — That’s like teaching a writing course by only reading.
I know this because I work for two single-blind peer-review journals, and we’ve received submissions formatted for double-blind review. We don’t bother because, like your field, ours is narrow, but there’s a lot of research, and we can’t publish all of it.
In single-blind peer review, it’s just the reviewer. In double-blind, it’s both reviewer and author(s) with different levels of author blinding. Double-blind arguably reduces reviewer bias, but depending on the field and subject matter, once an author is recognizable, double-blinding doesn’t truly mask them.
Yes, it should look the same, and some journals go as far as redacting the references on the review copy entirely, so they all look exactly the same. That said, if an author is prestigious enough to be known, they need to do more than that to mask their identity. Writing styles and subject matter can give away an author’s identify even if blinded.
Double-blind review masks the author’s identity, including self-citations that would identify the author. The author may have done this too effectively, and/or the reviewer was not as familiar with the author’s work as the critique would imply.
In case anyone is wondering…
“As for why Asari is the only one who’s facing charges, Masuda died on October 12, due to multiple organ failures stemming from the injuries he sustained in the fight.”
I rely on Grey's law to get through my days: any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. Ignorant? Malicious? It doesn’t matter.
His job is U.S. Senator, which he holds because he received the most votes from the state of New York. “Senate Minority Leader” is a position he holds because no one else wants it. It’s not a Constitutional position, like Speaker of the House or President of the Senate, and the U.S. Senate is a house of equals. Being “minority leader”bestows no added power, only responsibility for representing his party when negotiating with the other party. If another Senate Democrat wants to be responsible for negotiating with a senile man-child, they can call for a vote whenever the minority caucus meets.
For medical articles, there’s PubMed, the medical research database mandated by the U.S. and E.U. For other fields, YMMV.
