I've read hundreds of ML papers, and this one is better than 90%, maybe even 99%. It's one of the best papers published in 2012. The authors are some of best minds in the field. Statements like "It is not even considered a good paper", or "very weak" need some explanation, to say the least. The only negative thing I can say about that paper is they have not open-sourced their code.
