Interesting. Medical field dominates research in terms of publications. Chemistry produces double the papers compared to physics, and humanities are smaller than biology but larger than physics. I wonder where machine learning papers fit in - CS or Math or both?

I would imagine it depends on the particular paper, the more experimental ones in CS, the more theory ones in math.

Do note though that most math and ML practitioners use arxiv over sci-hub.

How come we don't have extensive software for helping doctor decision making by making use e.g of bayesian inference while feeding on the available superintelligence that enable those 24 millions paper? Expert systems long passed the hype curve and it's time for them to cycle up again!

It is note worthy that most of physics (at least high energy physics) ist published on arxiv.org and open access.

I don't know if sci hub bothers with publications that are available freely from an official source.

Machine learning publication rate is small, at least by assuming that paperswithcode contains most of the publications.
