80 papers in like 120 weeks is incredible

That's actually a huge red flag to me. There's no way you can make real contributions to science with less than a week of work per paper. And at that pace you'd constantly be dealing with editing and messaging publishers rather than getting work done

Dude won a Turing award 6 years ago, is a major player in a field that is rapidly expanding, Professor at NYU, and thus is likely part of a lot of different research going on. He may not be writing up all 80 personally, but his work and name is part of them. If it was some nobody working in a slower field I would definitely be cautious about 80 papers in 5 years.

The twitter reply says since 2022, so 2 years

Nah it was 2018 (with two others). Had to check if he has two, but nope.

[-] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 months ago

Ah had to come down and check thinking it was just a typo. 80 papers in 1.5 years is just straight up impossible without putting out trash.

Maybe they're just really good at getting the bots to write their papers!

That guy's probably one of the biggest name in deep learning. Obviously he doesn't write all those papers himself, he supervises research, like all professors...
