One of the time-consuming tasks in paper writing is to curate bibtex for references. So I automated bibtex curation with an Alfred app that fetches entries from dx.doi.org using DOI or title. It saves time, reduces errors, and maintains consistent LaTeX keys. github.com/skojaku/tobi...

The method also identifies non-rich nodes which are crucial for information flows btw rich nodes.
Plus? It has a clear statistical interpretation.

Much like an interrogation method that extracts a confession from an innocent. What kind of decision can be made from such a confession?
Wow, the most intuitive method of community detection in graphs is also wrong (at least if used as-is) as it's too eager to find communities, and will surely find them even in random data.
Periodic reminder that you should not be doing community detection using modularity maximization, if you're a serious person.

“Theory-free science” is only conceivable to those that see science itself — understanding — as a nuisance; an obstacle to be overcome in the quest for productivity. Even through this corrupted prism, the concept is ill-conceived and ill-fated.
Theory-freedom is an incoherent ideal for scientific objectivity and one which harms the integrity of science.
Sam Gershman writes beautifully about how theory-free neuroscience prevents the field from reaching its promise. Beautiful and true. Most folks do not test hypotheses. Running a NHST does not a hypothesis make. www.thetransmitter.org/theoretical-...
