I have found recently that reviewers in natural language processing, in aggregate, place negative value on reproducibility.<p>Perhaps 1 out of 3 reviewers gets it, another is bored by the fiddly and detailed methods section, and the third was subconsciously hoping for a &quot;brilliant&quot;, mystifying secret sauce. Oh, that&#x27;s all you did? he asks. I could have done that.<p>Of course you could have done it, I just told you how and pointed you to the data. I also compiled that data, and you won&#x27;t even let me tell you that because of blind review.
