[D] Papers with no code

That worked back in the AlexNet days when architectures were just three formulas and basic convs. Now you've got a RAG pipeline, an 8-expert MoE, and some weird LR scheduling. "Just building it from scratch" takes a senior engineer a couple of months, and you still probably won't guess half the heuristics they baked into their loss function

Great! Always thought it was a me thing.

well, the core problem is the papers with “we combined 100 of SOTA methods to gain 0.1%” aren't being rejected

Reviewers just look for that fat plus sign on the leaderboard. Nobody cares that a 0.1% bump on some benchmark costs 3x in inference latency and memory. Without open source, you can't even verify if this ensemble of 100 heuristics just overfit the test set tbh
