I just finished reading this. An interesting look into poor academic citation practices (leading to citogenesis https://xkcd.com/978/), historical accuracy, and biometrics.
Also, this is a good read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_citogenesis_incidents

NIST: NIST Helps Fingerprint Examiners With New Data and Software Release. “A NIST collection of 10,000 fingerprints has now been fully annotated with details that will help train both human fingerprint examiners and AI tools. NIST has also released open-source software that can help evaluate and sort fingerprints according to their quality, potentially helping fingerprint examiners work more […]
