Funny you compare ML with other fields - in my experience ML is the most open and reproducible area of scientific research, by far. Talk to researchers in other areas, many write “dataset and code available by request” but never share it, have custom CFS solvers and write papers with it but never release the code, and do experiments and leave out all details in the paper making it impossible to reproduce. You are free to treat a paper from Google like a paper from any random stranger, sure. But it doesn’t change the fact that many ML researchers I know in my R1 University (and many other top universities) always mention how much insights they get from these papers even when they couldn’t always release the code/models.
