[Edit] Ah, and before you suggest this is AFD hoax, here's the ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22260359

Can we automatically gauge the quality of a research paper just by means of visual appe... - 2 views

  •  
    We discussed a few times about whether it is possible to determine the quality of a paper by extracting visual features from the paper and then learning a mapping to a measure of quality such as the number of citations etc. This paper circulated at CVPR 2010, and does exactly that, mapping visual features to estimate whether it has been accepted for the main conference or the workshops.

In Silicon Valley, Socks Make the Tech Entrepreneur - NYTimes.com - 2 views

    Funny article .... Reminds me a bit of Luzi :-) And look at this phrase: am I in good or bad company ? "Sergey Brin, a founder of Google, rarely leaves home without his Vibram FiveFingers nylon shoes." In the article it is mentioned as a sign of particularly bad taste :-)
