Are you intimate with the literature the way GP is?
I studied a different field (application of machine learning to brain-machine interfaces), but I would (and still do) regularly see completely mundane research presented as something groundbreaking by a person/institution seeking clout.
I've actually pointed out the bullshit a couple of times here, and received very similar responses to yours.
I think it's a case of cutting-edge, not-widely-deployed technology seeming really exciting to someone hearing about it for the first time, even if the research itself does nothing particularly new compared to a few years ago.
- mpfundstein 5y agoI feel your pain. seriously! i worked 2 years on deep learning for crowd counting and 99% of all papers (and corresponding press releases) were utter crap. Super minor improvements were presented as the big new thing. But thats how the field is. Everyone trying to get tenure, so people need to scream loudly from the trees what assume shit they are doing. I for one just learned to ignore it and just look at the merit of a paper and what it contributes.
