I have to strongly disagree with this for the specific case of AI/ML. The big company labs are publishing open access papers non-stop, often with code and sometimes even datasets. They're more open than some areas of academia, in fact.

They have published at least one thing that was semi-interesting on cognitive functioning in older adults and how it can be expressed through smartphone usage: http://delivery.acm.org/10.1145/3310000/3300398/a168-gordon.html http://delivery.acm.org/10.1145/3310000/3300398/a168-gordon.... Interesting and certainly compelling, but not earth-shaking like style transfer has been.
- nl 7y agoI work in the field. New and relevant stuff is published frequently by Google, Facebook and Microsoft (as well as smaller companies like NVidia etc). Apple very occasionally publishes too.
