A reminder that **research software is a first-class research output**, so please cite it when you use it!
@ARDC_AU captures this well in their report: zenodo.org/records/6378082

Isn't "machine learning-based science" ML for "small data" essentially #statistics? Also remember "one hot encoding" is just dummy variables...
Some of you should talk to statisticians... & stats folks, some of you should talk to non-stats folks more..
