ML researchers work with fixed benchmark datasets, and spend all of their time searching over the knobs they do control: architecture & optimization. In applied ML, you're likely to spend most of your time on data collection and annotation -- where your investment will pay off.

Clinician: But you left out this key variable! In our analyses, it has a p-value of 0.001 with an odds ratio of 1.2, a pretty important predictor!! No wonder the AUC isn't higher.
*Variable added*
Situation: The AUC is 0.65.

“Has anyone else lost interest in ML research?”

“My collaborators/advisors are mostly running after papers and don't seem to have interest in doing interesting off-the-track things. Ultimately, research has just become chasing one deadline after another.”https://t.co/oxul2zkmRg
Jeff actually links to *3* of @timnitGebru's papers in this post (after firing her last month & publicly claiming her latest paper didn't meet "Google standards", even though it was accepted to a top conference)
