Got Writer's Block...?



Automatic Compuer Science Paper Generator

For those of us in academics, career advancement usually depends on a regular output of scientific papers, published in the literature and presented at national conferences. And once again, the World Wide Web has given us an application to make this task easier.

Some MIT Computer Science students have come up with this automatic manuscript generator, which produces beautifully written and formatted articles complete with figures and references, under whatever author name(s) you specify. Go try it out, and don't forget to save your paper as a PDF file for that professional look.

Oh, one thing... the papers? Complete gibberish. Hard to tell if you aren't a computer scientist, but they are just randomly generated, grammatically correct prose.

Oh, and one more thing... these guys submitted one of the papers to a conference- The 9th World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics. And it got accepted. They are going to Orlando to present it.
