Fabian Theis says scientific papers often conclude with a model, sometimes a concept figure and limited validation, and researchers then typically begin another project rather than continuing a continual-learning cycle.

“But quite frankly, very often the papers end it with some model, right? Maybe some sort of concept figure, maybe add a little bit validation. But then typically you start the next project, right? And of course you learn a bit, but there's not like, not like a continual learning type of thing.”
