Well .. we've heard about the random paper generator .. which i dont think deserved the kind of publicity it got because there was nothing particularly interesting in the kinds of tricks the folks used to generate the text !
was wondering if someone could come up with a good algorithm for automatically generating papers for certain types of conferences.. most conferences appear to have fairly set rules and
pre-conditions for acceptance ( x pages of evaluation, y graphs, z amount of related work, a fairly area sensitive set of buzzwords (incremental deployment, adversarial analysis etc etc ) )
remember reading some roald dahl story about a guy who came up with a machine to generate novels/stories (you could specify the genre, the length etc) and bought authors to just endorse the stories
wonder if someone could come up with this .. would help researchers spend their time more usefully in doing actual research than having to spend ridiculous amounts of time writing just to make sure the paper is accepted !
