Most AI groups are too new to know they should share their statistical data too

Machine Learning in Chemistry @ML_Chem Constructing custom thermodynamics using deep learning #machinelearning #compchem https://nature.com/articles/s43588-023-00581-5… Replying to @ML_Chem Machine learning and GPT are all about data preparation, basic statistics, probabilities, regressions, correlations and expected values. They just relabeled it “AI” to make it look cute and new. And the AI groups are too new to know
