I often wonder if machine learning - at least the kind of machine learning that blindly chases higher numbers on benchmarks - even deserves to be called science.https://twitter.com/poolio/status/1093352689205837825 …

Also in my experience, the DARPA funding model is quite terrible for good science. Too much bureaucracy, all your time is spent on reports instead of working, and the threat of pulling out funding halfway through (which is meant as an incentive!) instead leads to incrementalism.
Because if you know there's a 50% chance your grant will get cut after just one year, you won't pursue any projects that take more than a year to bear fruit.
