Fake Scientific Paper Detector

moon_monkey writes "Ever wondered whether a scientific paper was actually written by a robot? A new program developed by researchers at Indiana University promises to tell you one way or the other. It was actually developed in response to a prank by MIT researchers who generated a paper from random bits of text and got it accepted for a conference."

      it seems that some people on slashdot are so mindset-boolean. that it never occured to them that the statement was serious, but the way it was stated was a joke. Go watch some of the absurd things "papa bear" as colbert calls him says... hasn't anyone ever heard the expression never feed a troll.. have a good day.

    Soon, I was pinned against the wall as his body pressed into mine. We kissed passionately. His kisses become erotic, kissing and sucking everywhere from my mouth to my neck. I groaned as he slowly thrust his hips against my bulging member. Slowly, he pushed and pushed, giving me a wonderful new sensation from my small brain down there. Suddenly I realized that we're still inside school, standing in the middle of the hallway! I groaned as I whispered, "I don't think it safe to do this here!"

    He stopped a second later and took my hand. "You're right, c'mon!" He pulled my hand as we both ran around the school trying to find a 'safe' place. We walked down to the basement and secretly entered one of the unused classrooms. The room was dark and empty. A single ray of sunlight was beaming through a high window in the corner of the room. Rob used his free hand to lock the door and led me over to a small piece of carpet in the center or the room. He took my other hand and looked at me lovingly before kissing me. We dropped to our knees and embraced. He giggled softly as he started kissing me. We both lay down on the cheap carpet not trying not to separate ourselves from each other.

    "These are going to be the best minutes of yourself Timmy!"

    "Minutes?" I asked snickering.

    "This is going to be my first time," he whispered before landing a kiss on my lips. "Besides, we're in school you know!"

    "Heheh, I thought you already lost your virginity to some girl?" I asked nibbling his bottom lip.

    He mumbled, "No way man! I'm not that desperate!"

    His weight held my whole body down as I kissed him passionately. Our tongues fought inside my mouth as his hands slowly brushed my blonde hair aside. My hands slowly slipped under his shirt, making their way up his stomach toward his nipples. Upon reaching my goal, I gently pinched his nipples, causing him to groan loudly. He continued groaning as he sucked my bottom lip, "M...man...timmy...that...feels... great!"

    Rob rose up and sat on my hips as he ripped his uniform apart the same way superman did. He threw it across the room. I giggled as buttons were flying everywhere. "You don't have to ruin a uniform for me!"

    "It's faster this way!"

    He pulled my golf shirt up exposing my bare chest. I took a deep breath. Rob sniffed and sucked my nipples causing me to also groan and pant uncontrollably. When I finally removed my golf shirt, Rob's hands had slowly crept down to my waist and he was unzipping my pants. The instant his fingers touched my sensitive head through my briefs, my body and mind both went crazy from the intense feeling. He made a trail of saliva with his tongue from middle of my rib cage down to my navel. He licked the little hole for a while before he moved further down, pulling off my briefs and releasing my aching cock. He gently stroked his fingers through my small patch of golden brown pubic hair. Finally, he grabbed my 5'1/2" cock with his hand started pumping it like he was grating a carrot. Then, he stopped suddenly and moved his face down to more closely examine all I had to offer. He never broke eye contact with me while his tongue explored my balls. He gently took them, one at a time into his mouth and massaged them with his tongue. I thought I had gone to heaven. I had never felt anything like this before. Then, all of a sudden, he engulfed my cock slowly going down until his nose finally touched my pubes. He went up and down slowly, savoring the taste. My body quickly reacted and I began humping his face rapidly, but he grabbed my hips and held me down while he continued sucking slowly. I begged him to go faster, I had to release my love juice! He moved his hand to my shaft while still licking the crown of my very swollen member. He squeezed it making me groan and squirm to death. The glory inside me finally came. With one quick motion, my dick stiffened and cum shot up my chest, following his trail of saliva down to my navel. Still more landed

  4. Better example by Constantine+Evans · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Here is a better example, consisting of me randomly pressing my fingers into the keyboard while pressing space and enter every once in a while. The following text, when copied three times, will give a 97% chance of being an authentic scientific paper. Again there is a curve here, with two reps giving an 80% chance and four giving 91%:
