I just recently found an incredibly cool paper that solved a problem I was having. It was published in a tier A conference. They claimed they would make the data and code public at a later point. Problem is, I could find nothing of it when I googled. O tried to get ahold of the authors and I even wrote to their department. The only Mail back I received concluded that neither would be available any time soon. So there‘s that. A paper that could be completely made up, with no data to support it. It might as well be make believe. I would lie if I said this didn't make me lose faith in my own work, since it justifiably takes me ages to gather data and write code for my experiments. Great.
