I suspect this is likely to be met with significant kickback, but I'm glad there are people publishing and researching ideas outside the cutting edge, yet easier to get grants for, ML/DL stuff. Not to mention that many researchers have noted the dubious quality of many papers in big ML conferences and no I don't believe they complain because theirs didn't pass peer review. Reading about CS research here, as well as in other media, has become akin to TV zapping and always ending up with the same type of show on every channel.

> I suspect this is likely to be met with significant kickback… Why do you think people would have an issue with them tracking us furry humans?

  I think the implication is that ‘women don’t have facial hair’ and that’s going to be the reason for kickback.

    I've seen plenty of women with facial hair.

      Basically all women have facial hair, unless they've done something to remove it. I'm not sure if this technique would work on it though, it tends to be difficult to see clearly from a distance.

  I was talking about being a party pooper for not getting very excited by ML research.

This is graphics research done by a private company, not funded by grants. Siggraph is one of the pickier CS conferences, even when it comes to applied ML. I'm not sure I understand why you think this would get any kickback, or what you mean by that?

  I supposed my original message might come off as anti-intellectualism towards ML research. This is personal but I think AI research* has become incredibly over-hyped, so for me reading about contributions to other fields is something more exciting now. *referring mostly to applied disciplines. I cannot speak for theoretical ML research as I have not looked into it in depth.
