The three tenets of participation, transparency, and collaboration are particularly relevant because, while they are couched in specific deliverables [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is the end of science. Science as hypothesis is giving way to science as statistically derived by large data sets. We&#8217;re finding in many cases that data mining algorithms applied to loosely specified models leads to better results than finely tuned models derived from theoretical equations [see the unreasonable effectiveness of data (pdf)]. 
It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Just because all the people I&#8217;ve met in the past with brown hair were mean, doesn&#8217;t mean all future one will be mean. A rule based system would naively conclude this, whereas a statistical [...]]]></description>

These are computer science papers that are, for the most part, showing new machine learning, forensics, or natural language processing techniques.
