AIhub coffee corner: Bad practice in the publication world

This month we tackle the topic of bad practice in the sphere of publication. Joining the conversation this time are: Sanmay Das (Virginia Tech), Tom Dietterich (Oregon State University), Sabine Hauert (University of Bristol), and Sarit Kraus (Bar-Ilan University). Sabine Hauert: Today's topic is bad practice in the publication world. For example, people trying to cheat the review system, paper mills. What bad behaviors have you seen, and is it really a problem? Tom Dietterich: Well, I can talk about it from an arXiv point of view.
