I'm having a hard time processing what the wink might possibly mean in this context.
No sarcasm intended.
- mkolodny 8y agoI'd guess that wink is hinting that Yann LeCun might've had something to do with this research. Whether that's true or not, I have no idea. (Yann LeCun is a Turing award winner for his work in deep learning)
- slashcom 8y agoYann LeCun did not, otherwise he’d be a coauthor. As it is, this was a collaboration between NYU and Facebook AI Research, with multiple authors working at both institutions.
- drb91 8y agoMy understanding is that academic authorship credit is political: authors don’t always contribute, and contributors don’t always get credit. Is this not the case?
- nl 8y agoNot really. Usually the politics goes the other way - people getting an author slot because they are the head of the department or something.
- drb91 8y agoI believe I covered that—authors who don’t contribute. Also, I know too many angry grad students to believe that contributors always get credit.
