As a result, this wave is not over yet , Another wave has begun .

The Korean team was exposed to plagiarism more than once

First, let's take a look at the Korean team plagiarism incident that has attracted public attention .

In the latest public response of correspondents yinshenglao and yizuo Kim , All indicate that this plagiarism belongs to yizuo Personal behavior , It has nothing to do with the rest of the team .

Yinsheng explained ：

Other co authors of the team sent their respective parts to a work , But he didn't use it in the end , But plagiarized other papers .

He added , Now the other two papers that I am reviewing are also Be withdrawn from 了 .

however , Netizens found that , The team seems to have plagiarized more than one paper .

Such as this one ：《Towards Fast and Accurate Object Detection in Bio-Inspired Spiking Neural Networks Through Bayesian Optimization》.

The detection software displays , It has 40% Suspected of plagiarism , There are 27 The expression is highly similar to previous studies .

There's another one 《Energy-aware Placement for SRAM-NVM Hybrid FPGAs》, Similar problems have been found .

Correspondents are all old Yinsheng .

meanwhile , It is also pointed out that Professor Yin's laboratory is very large .

Doctoral students have 37 position , Plus master's and postdoctoral , The laboratory has 51 Students are instructed by yinshenglao .

This is also worrying , Whether a professor can guide so many students at the same time , Whether the quality of their experiments and papers will be affected .

And from the beginning of the incident —— From the content of the tubing exposure video , Among the papers suspected of plagiarism , A lot of places are Wholly intact Ground handling is the expression of previous research .

The parts involved are Introduction、Preliminaries、Method etc. .

There are even some places where there is no word left copy.

There are as many plagiarized paragraphs in the full text 25 It's about , Exposure of video display problems took 7 minute .

Many of the plagiarized papers were NeureIPS、AAAI Wait for the top to receive , Among them, several of the first works are Korean .

No wonder the people who uploaded the exposed video , Will give the video such a “ Dazzling ” The title of the ：

E2V-SDE or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Plagiarism.

E2V-SDE also called ： How did I not worry and love plagiarism .

there E2V-SDE, From the old team of Yin Sheng who was CVPR 2022 Received paper title .

Now? , As the events continue to ferment , The old team of Yin Sheng also aroused the group anger of Korean netizens .

Need to know , Yin Sheng is always an authoritative expert in the field of artificial intelligence in Korea , From the Institute of artificial intelligence, Seoul University .

This year, 6 month , He has just been selected by the Ministry of science and technology of South Korea as “ Lead researcher ”, Enjoy about... Per year 8 Billion South Korean won （ Renminbi equivalent 416 ten thousand ） Scientific research funds .

But now , His team was caught up in a plagiarism scandal .

Someone left a message saying , I hope relevant units can seriously deal with this matter , Let the relevant researchers sign out academic circle .

In the past 30 In the year , Many people study it day and night , So that South Korea can CV More papers will be published at the summit , And their behavior is so excessive ！

actually , South Korea in CVPR 2022 The achievements in the course of , Seoul University alone 25 Papers were selected .

Someone said directly , This is a disgrace to Korea .

The deeper reasons include , There are voices in South Korea worried about , This event will be “ The Huangyuxi incident ” For the second time .

2005 year , He was the chief professor of the Veterinary College of Seoul University 、 Hwang Woo Suk, once regarded as the national hero of Korea , He was exposed to have forged a number of research results .

Its presence 《Science》 The stem cell studies published in the are all nonsense .

2009 year , Hwang Woo Suk was sentenced to 2 Years in prison , Probation 3 year .

IBM Accused of plagiarism

The Korean plagiarism is still fermenting ,IBM It was also revealed that they were selected CVPR The paper is suspected of plagiarism .

A researcher from Ping An technology , Lists nine pieces of evidence , Involving methodology 、 Preprocessing 、 Post processing 、 Reasoning 、 Text line detection and recognition , It has been emailed to CVPR 2022 program chairs.

The informant said , Many traces can be seen inside ,IBM Is running on their open source pre training model , Just changed some details .

And the most obscure is the direct call “ The most shameless ” Of , But also belong to Text single line detection This piece of , The informant said ： They just changed the color .

generally speaking , Each table in the official data is multi row , It's not good for the future training .

therefore , The research team is right 3000 Images have been redrawn , Split the connected rows into a single row .

and IBM Of PDF Cells It is to take them directly in GitHub On the trained model .

besides , According to the informant's description ,IBM They will also 3 This rule is based on open source code , Forcibly disassemble into 9 Bar rule .

at present ,IBM Fang hasn't responded yet . Netizens also hold various opinions .

Some people think that , It looks like a personal opinion , The author is a little emotional .

Other netizens read the whole evidence , It's hard to believe IBM It's an original article , It is recommended to report directly to CVPR Project committee complaints .
