It's a bit like the glass half full/half empty, right? Nearly everything that's not crap is also published at a publicly funded university. Private universities also publish crap (including the famous MIT, I've read a disappointingly bad paper with an MIT first author last week). But this: > The more bureaucratic and government funded, the worse is definitely untrue. You are thinking too much of hollywood-movies, this is not reality. Just think of ML and Deep Learning. The university of toronto is publicly funded, as is the technical university of Munich, where schmidhuber (and hochreiter) produced a lot of the groundbreaking research we are all relying on. Or the university of montreal with joshua bengio. And the technical university of munich is not even in the states! SHOCKING! No private universities to be seen anywhere.
