Really interesting story. This guy is a true hero, attacking corruption in a sad but powerful way. > “I hope this will make a change in this world. I hope you can keep simple and stay honest in this society. I will bless you in another world.”
I think the proof is in the mentioned 15 year ban that ACM handed down [1] [1] - https://twitter.com/sigarch/status/1358873198222311427
The paper is "3D-based video recognition acceleration by leveraging temporal locality". Haven't found a copy online. I'd expect a paper like that to come with examples and a link to Github. Why fake something like that? Either the paper is ignored, or someone implements it and finds it doesn't work.
- Most of them don't publish any kind of code or only snippets.
- Most of the algorithms are incomplete (think "we add constant M here into equation tuned by an expert"). The chosen constants aren't documented and they're tweaked before publication to maximize results for the given dataset.
- Most results are only good for the chosen dataset and based on very fine tuned constants (which is the reason they're not published). As soon as you apply them to a slightly different dataset they fall apart.
- Even if you get code for a given paper, it's usually a disatrous mess of quality and runs only on the given researchers computer with given version of Windows and a weird patched version of Python they found somewhere in the internet.
There ARE better written papers out there. But most of them are just made to publish "something" and get the publishing metrics up. That means minimum effort for actual research and maximum effort to tweak and tune results to make them look good.
I'm gonna get enemies for that .... But let's face it: the Academia peer review process is pretty rotten. - Many organisations could not care less about whatever crap you publish as long as you publish. And if possible a lot. - Many journal's reviewers are friend of friends and you can often easily guess their names, even in double blinded review. - Many reviewers care more about you quoting their own paper than givi…
The sheer amount of typos here is....challenging. And I'm not one to pick on someone who's doing their best to communicate in a second language or anything but shoot this really could've used a copy editor.

Sad story. An interesting question is if you were him, what to do? My intuitive thought is simply to quit, and start another academic pursuit (assuming you are really interesting in science and research); it could be rather hard, but that is life. LIFE never goes easy.

I want to express sympathies in a particular way: When I had a job I didn’t want, in a city i didn’t want, no kids, no wife, and prospects abounding, it was easy to speak truth to power. I did it, and I was right technically, businesswise, and morally. What a win...(?) Now, I have my dream job, my dream location, my own damn house, and my family. -Whole thing feels like a dream I might wake up from if I am not carefu…
I'm not at this point yet, but reading this makes me wonder why any employer would ever prefer younger employees with nothing tying them down, for any reasons other than the fact that we cost less. Sure, you'll save money on salary, but odds are that we're going to move on within a year or two if you're not a top-paying company. Even then, there's no guarantee.
Meanwhile, someone who has dependents and a mortgage has more to lose and less leverage.

Yes, the sheer number of wrongly-used words just makes it really hard to read.
