"Decision Stream" Editing Campaign
editThis article has been targeted by an (apparent) campaign to insert "Decision Stream" into various Wikipedia pages about Machine Learning. "Decision Stream" refers to a recently published paper that currently has zero academic citations. [1] The number of articles that have been specifically edited to include "Decision Stream" within the last couple of months suggests conflict-of-interest editing by someone who wants to advertise this paper.
Known articles targeted:
- Artificial intelligence
- Statistical classification
- Deep learning
- Random forest
- Decision tree learning
- Decision tree
- Pruning (decision trees)
- Predictive analytics
- Chi-square automatic interaction detection
- MNIST database

Why the nationalism?
editThe article sounds a bit nationalist to me. Did this algorithm have any special geopolitical relevance? If it did, then I think that should be mentioned. If it didn't, then why is it important that the algorithm was developed by a South African researcher, and that competing algorithms were developed in the US and the UK? The current wording seems either nationalist or patronizing to me. Consider the following analogy: if the inventor of some algorithm happened to be homosexual, would we write "Algorithm X was developed by gay researcher Y"? -- Robamler (talk) 04:59, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
- I agree that such is given far too much prominence here. But a part of that prominence is due to the fact that there is really no article here. It's just a few unsourced sentences that say some things about the topic without really covering it. North8000 (talk) 11:07, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
