FOIA (the climategate hacker?/whistleblower?) has released the entire email data to selected bloggers. The following is an email from Mann to Jones at UEA.
from: mann@snow.geo.umass.edu
subject: Re: Something far more interesting
to: p.jones@uea.ac.uk
Dear Phil,
Of course I’ll be happy to be on board. I think the opportunity for some
direct collaboration between us (me, and you/tim/keith) is ripe, and
the plan to compare and contrast different approaches and data and
synthesize the different results is a good one. Though sidetracked
by other projects recently, I remain committed to doing this with
you guys, and to explore applications to synthetic datasets with
manufactured biases/etc remains high priority. It sounds like it
would all fit into the proposal you mention. There may be some
overlap w/proposals we will eventually submit to NSF (renewal
of our present funding), etc. by I don’t see a problem with that
in the least.
Once the collaboration is officially in place, I think that sharing
of codes, data, etc. should not be a problem. I would be happy to
make mine available, though can’t promise its the most user friendly
thing in the world.
In short, I like the idea. INclude me in, and let me know what you
need from me (cv, etc.).
cheers,
mike
synthetic datasets with
manufactured biases?
What sort of context do you suppose we're missing here? Testing models maybe? See if you can find a known bias in the model output? Or is this talking about directing the results to fit the narrative?
What do you think?
