> recently made discoverable by Google Books, which we subsequently made machine-readable You might say "WTF? Google Books already made it machine-readable. " The problem, as you'll discover here; https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/04/the-tragedy-of-google-books/523320/ https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/04/the-t... is legal and political. Google has it in digital form, but they can't give it to you, sell it to you, show it to you, or do anything else with it. So the researchers had to re-digitize it. Or maybe ("The Google Books team brought the USDA dataset online.") the researchers had some special help from Google.

  Thanks. I was in Google Patent Litigation, and there was a book I wanted to see. I didn't know it was valuable; if it was, there'd be no problem buying it, but most of the time, these things were false positives. Someone in Books offered to let me come over and see it on HIS screen, because he couldn't give me the link even as a Google employee. But I guess Sciences (or GAS, or whatever it's called), got y'all to help. Good for them (and you).

  > Here's your data. No. It's the source. > disclaimer: I work on this team. Good then: is your research reproducible? As in, do you have some code and data somewhere that can be used to verify your results? By that, I mean to run it on the input dataset to create something that gives results similar to you GNN results for whatever testset you used (in your example, predicting the mosquito repellency of a set of molecules)
