"How a CogSci undergrad invented PageRank three years before Google" is a blog highlighting what cognitive science can contribute to machine learning, touching on my first project and pub way back in 1995.http://bradlove.org/blog/cogsci-page-rank …

Indeed. And even tougher is building good interdisciplinary uni programs. It’s such a struggle to get the depth vs breadth trade off right.

LOL I wrote unpins instead of underpins!

Nice post! Yes, interdisciplinary collaboration is essential, we can all benefit from it.

@carlgomb had a nice blog on how easy/tough interdisciplinarity is, which I don't seem to find right now. -
Interdisciplinary research is easy to do poorly and very hard to do right. Management and education research are two classic examples, all too often resembling a Frankenstein's monster of cobbled jargon and buzzwords with few deep insights.
-
From my own experience as a generalist and cross disciplinary person, it requires its own set of skills that we haven't yet fully understood how to teach.
-
A shame because like many of us, I firmly believe we are in dire need of this kind of thinking to advance beyond circular and fad based stuff.
-
So true and really hard to do because we are all looking for where to make rapid progress and likely influence each other's search process. It probably only gets worse as science gets bigger.
-
Yes, precisely. And strongly feel this is made worse by push for immediate application. To get off the ground a lot of basic research needed.
-
Perhaps the most relevant issue affecting interdisciplinarity is precisely insufficient basic research.
