  "transcript": "Hi, I would like to file a complaint about an accepted and published CVPR 2026 paper that its main contribution is a dataset but it was never released, and honestly I don’t know who to contact. The dataset was never released prior to the conference, or during the conference or after the conference. I personally feel there was a lack of proper checking that the dataset was gonna be available before the conference since this is a requirement. I’ve tried contacting the authors without any success (which tbh I wouldn’t even need to because it has to be released anyways). \n\nThe authors even point a GitHub link in the paper but the repo is empty (and it was always empty).\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[42 upvotes] 1. Contact the organizers. Not likely to do much, but you should, even just as a formality.\n\n2. Make an issue on GitHub, tag the authors.\n\n3. Name the paper! Write about this on LinkedIn, X, Reddit, anywhere you like.\n\n4. Writing on PubPeer, as suggested in another comment, is a very good idea IMO. I've seen quite a few investigations in Retraction Watch stem from a PubPeer review.\n\n[44 upvotes] Please write a comment on PubPeer. Sometimes, it helps. At least, people reading the article can get an alert if they have the browser plugin.\n\n[38 upvotes] I don't think a complaint is gonna do much... This is very very common in ai ml conferences. I hate it so much too\n\n[12 upvotes] The conference just happened so there might have some effect to complain. Send a message to the program chairs explaining the situation.\n\nHowever normally when the conference is done the PC already moved on and rarely will look back to anything that has happened.",
