Just post this proof:

Tuns out, she did a sub sub sub part of a programm. A sort of 'adaptor' that just reformats certain data into another format, and then feeds it into the ACTUAL programm.

That misrepresentation of what she actually contributed and what she actually did is nauseing. Either nepotism on the part of the institution OR the media.

Sources :

here, what SHE wrote ( HOPSTOOLS ) : https://github.com/klbouman/hopstools

Here the mother program, where that optional part of her is added, where it acts as a sort of interface to import one more datatype by reformatting it.

source : https://github.com/sao-eht/eat/graphs/contributors

It's kinda ridiculous, how the media morphs this into something COMPLETEY different.

btw: that's also NOT an algo, but just reformatting data.

────────

You dont understand - she did NOT write and algo at all. sche did NOT write an image tool at all.

What she did code is at max about 4 pages of code - but more importantly - is neither an algo, nor a imaging program but is an ADAPTOR for a source of data, which reformats the data to feed it into the mother program - of which she contributed that adaptor, which makes up ca 0.01% of said mother program at max AND is marked as "optional" part of the program

sources : https://github.com/sao-eht/eat/graphs/contributors

────────

Her whole bundle ("hopstools") here was merged into the mother programm and counted as one commit of 'mother' program. hopstools, of which she did at max 25% Her share on contribution on this actual imaging program is about 0.3% max, but OK lets say 1% - So she did less than 1/4 of 1% of the work. max. If we're very generous.

this little part is the share that her contribution does. And again : HOPSTOOLS is just an adaptor for another dataformat that can be read into the 'mother' programm. that's it.

Andrew Chael wrote 850k out of the 900k lines of code He was also the leader of the project Michael D. Johnson wrote 12k lines of code Chanchikwan wrote 5k lines of code

The woman? Only wrote 2.4k lines of code

Interestingly enough, the code she wrote was importing something called HOPStools

Interestingly enough if we go look at HOPStools and all its contributors we get:

weilgusm wrote 2.9k lines of code

chanchikwan wrote 676 lines of code

Andrew Chael wrote 1.2k lines of code

jpbarrett wrote 71 lines of code

Katie Bouman wrote 2 lines of code

Hell, even on the hopstools thing there is this in the summary:

"=============================

For Katie:

cd /Users/klbouman/Research/vlbi_imaging/software/hops/build source hops.bash

run this file from: /Users/klbouman/Research/vlbi_imaging/software/hops/eat"

She also fixed absolutely none of the bugs on the EHT

And the algorithm they talk about? It was plagiarized off of a japanese guy named Mareki Honma who made the thing back in 2012, and uploaded/updated it to github in 2016

Andrew Chael asked to use it, Honma helped him adapt it, and was part of 60 japanese people working on the project

Katie Bouman, also isn't following any one at all on Github and has basically only utilized it for these two projects (Hopstools and EHT)

────────

The second co-leader of the EHT imaging group is Kazunori Akiyama with the first being, Andrew Chael.

https://bhi.fas.harvard.edu/people/kazunori-akiyama

http://news.mit.edu/2019/mit-haystack-first-image-black-hole-0410

Looks like MIT's social media twitter account didn't collaborate with MIT's own news office since in reality, Katie Bouman did not lead any team at all or was a leader at all.

The actual leaders were Kazunori Akiyama and Andrew Chael.

Notice how before this social media shilling on twitter, the MIT article only mentioned Katie Bouman once at the very end of the article.

http://news.mit.edu/2019/mit-haystack-first-image-black-hole-0410

The Haystack EHT team includes John Barrett, Roger Cappallo, Joseph Crowley, Mark Derome, Kevin Dudevoir, Michael Hecht, Lynn Matthews, Kotaro Moriyama, Michael Poirier, Alan Rogers, Chester Ruszczyk, Jason SooHoo, Don Sousa, Michael Titus, and Alan Whitney. Additional contributors were MIT alumni Daniel Palumbo, Katie Bouman, Lindy Blackburn, Sera Markoff, and Bill Freeman, a professor in MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

How long before this MIT article written by MIT themselves gets taken down and rewritten to give Katie Bouman a whole paragraph to herself?

When will the mainstream media take responsibility for inaccurate reporting? Why is there such a glaring difference between one of MIT's twitter accounts versus their own press release?

Why were the 2 leaders: Kazunori Akiyama and Andrew Chael completely ignored by everybody else?

4 teams around the world.

American team was ked by Kazunori Akiyama and Andrew Chael.

Nowhere it is mentioned that Katie Bouman led the American team, just only these 2 males who were co leaders.

Where did this Katie Bouman was leader originate from? Even MIT's own news article doesn't mention this.

http://news.mit.edu/2019/mit-haystack-first-image-black-hole-0410


Katie Bouman did not invent the algorithm.

Multiple people are cited on the limited proof of concept thesis.

The actual research and development of practical application of this technology, as well as development of the algorithm itself, was done by a huge team of researchers, not Katie Bouman:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.06226

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1901.06226.pdf

https://iopscience.iop.org/journal/2041-8205

This is the primary research that led to the possibility of imaging the black hole. Notice how the research cites Andrew Chael’s EHT imaging library (the guy who wrote 850,000 lines of code). Chael wrote the entire library. To not give him the same or preferably more credit than Bouman is pretty messed up.

https://bhi.fas.harvard.edu/people/andrew-chael

Also, Katie Boumsn did not lead or manage anything. These are the directors, managers, and affiliates:

https://bhi.fas.harvard.edu/our-people

Katie Bouman does not deserve 100%, 50%, 25%, 10%, 5%, or even 1% of the credit. There are so many people involved that made far more significant contributions (like Andrew Chael developing the EHT imaging library).

What has science come to when such incredible falsehoods about who contributed to research are perpetuated by the scientific community and mainstream media? It’s wrong.

ITS OVER FOR FRAUDING ROASTIES (FUCK THEM BTW)

I would guess it’s because they’re scientists that aren’t computer scientists and didn’t have the budget to hire a team of software people. Python is relatively easy

1
curious_fatbastard•

Then you wouldn't be very smart. For image manipulation Python calls C routines under the hood. It is merely an API to call C methods. So you can have the speed of development AND execution.

This isn't server side python, this actually works (Also the reason why Numpy, SciPy, ScikitLearn, TensorFlow, Keras, Caffee etc etc all work - they are all Python APIs to C code underneath!)

An adaptor is still an algorithm, it takes in input (the unformatted data) and results in an output (the formatted data). Obviously this code has had many contributors and none of the whole thing can be attributed to any one person.

plaidstuff•

Please be more careful, they claim she was the programming project lead and wrote the algorithm used by the software. https://github.com/achael/eht-imaging#some-publications-that-use-ehtim cites Computational Imaging for VLBI Image Reconstruction, Bouman et al. 2016 and Reconstructing Video from Interferometric Measurements of Time-Varying Sources, Bouman et al. 2017. The former does not credit Chael and the latter does, and other cited works also credit Bouman. So it is unlikely he did all the work on that one and she took the credit. Additionally the repository is owned by Chael, indicating he is not trying to give her any undeserved credit for writing the code. The hopstools is owned by her without her contributing, but if she's leading the programming I can see why she would setup a repo for people to put their code in.

Just because she lead the code writing does not mean she would contribute the most code or that she lead the overall project, and it appears she probably wrote a relevant algorithm (I do not know the significance of the various works cited by the code). Writing most code is a simple task, determining how it is structured and the algorithms used is far more complex and would be deserving of more recognition.

I find no evidence against the claims made by the media, I am not saying that I support the implied magnitude of her contribution as I have no information in the matter. I also don't see where your claims that Chael and Akiyama lead the team come from, or the stuff about Honma.
