Bit of a metaquestion but what am I reading here exactly? Is this academic research? I cant see any reference to where the work was carried out, or in what context (Cornell? Or has the paper just been submitted to them?).
- IanCal 4y agoIt's a research paper on something called a preprint platform. It's a place almost anything fitting can be put for free - to share work before it goes through the arduous process of getting it published (side rant about publishing not meaning publishing goes here). Cornell run/host arxiv, but aren't doing heavy moderation of content (journals should check much more, arxiv will be checking more for spam/non researchy stuff). It's a bit of work between three authors, all affiliated with Microsoft and one who is also affiliated with the University of California San Diego.
