Rule of thumb: IBM tends to spoof results to get published, then use the published results to trick tech-illiterate clients into using their stack. At conferences I used to go to, they'd just phack the hyperparameters of an ensemble model on the benchmark sets, and put out a press release saying they were state of the art. They were mostly ignored by the academics who went to the talks on the actual novel work.
