What are these young boys dressing up for and why?
Answer--A most interesting story that emerged out of MIT a couple of years ago.They created SciGen to catch all of them fraud "paper publishing authors" and conferences with low submission standards.SCIgen is a program that generates random Computer Science research papers, including graphs, figures, and citations. It uses a hand-written context-free grammar to form all elements of the papers. Their aim,as they say is to maximize amusement, rather than coherence.
This is a screenshot of them actually dressing up as "old learned wizened academics",going and presenting one of the fraud papers! Find a lot of information on the link here.
