Say this much for the “reproducibility crisis” in science: It’s poorly timed. At the same instant that a significant chunk of elected and appointed policymakers seem to disbelieve the science behind ...
Efforts to improve the reproducibility and integrity of science are typically justified by a narrative of crisis, according to which most published results are unreliable due to growing problems with ...
This story originally appeared on Undark and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. David Randall and Christopher Welser are unlikely authorities on the reproducibility crisis in science. Randall, ...
A reproducibility crisis is ongoing in scientific research, where many studies may be difficult or impossible to replicate and thereby validate, especially when the study involves a very large sample ...
Major breakthroughs in AI have seen machines being entrusted with business and safety-critical decisions, from guiding vehicles to diagnosing diseases. Yet a reproducibility crisis is creating a cloud ...
Reproducibility is often trampled underfoot in AI’s rush to results. And the movement to agile methodologies may only exacerbate AI’s reproducibility crisis. Without reproducibility, you can’t really ...
Why did everything in the teeming oceans of the Late Devonian period (which ended about 358 million years ago) go extinct? Did Earth’s entire surface cool into a “snowball” at some point in prehistory ...
