new print! keith levin and i came with a new approach to estimating peer effects in noisy, low-rank networks i'm very excited about our idea because the approach works with a variety of different noise processes arxiv.org/abs/2605.03204
Claude skills for reviewing manuscripts that I would appreciate: - stylistic advice for math writing (punctuating eqs, etc) - academic tropes (gaps, see quote) and linguistic oddities (gerund form) to avoid - structure of a good abstract/introduction - etc
Thomas DietterichI encourage everyone to delete the phrase "To address this gap" in their papers. Change "To address this gap, we introduce..." with just "We introduce". All of this "gap" terminology is such a cliche. (looking at a lot of arXiv papers today)
