> In Machine Learning, the standard expectation of research papers is to empirically demonstrate the increased statistical power of the model over benchmarks, and I wish the authors demonstrated that their model aligns with historical reality. I went to graduate school in econometrics after taking several undergraduate courses in ML, and I was constantly astounded how paper after paper failed to do this. I don't think you can (or should) claim a result if you can't demonstrate that it works empirically.
