I feel your pain. seriously! i worked 2 years on deep learning for crowd counting and 99% of all papers (and corresponding press releases) were utter crap. Super minor improvements were presented as the big new thing. But thats how the field is. Everyone trying to get tenure, so people need to scream loudly from the trees what assume shit they are doing. I for one just learned to ignore it and just look at the merit of a paper and what it contributes.
