Cargo Cult in Computer Science: An Uncomfortable Truth for Researchers
Have you ever heard about the reproducibility crisis in computer science research? In this video, we dive into Richard Feynman’s famous commencement speech about "Cargo Cult Science" and how it still impacts modern research. We’ll cover the traps of poor science, pseudoscience, and the academic pressures that lead researchers astray. You’ll learn how to make your research more rigorous, transparent, and reproducible while avoiding the common pitfalls that have plagued the scientific community for decades.
