What do you think of "scientific researchers accused of plagiarism"?
The Graduate School of Beijing Institute of Technology responded to the incident that "the paper submitted by a researcher was suspected to have been leaked and copied by a master of Beijing Institute of Technology", which caused public controversy. This incident is correct, not only the original paper of the plagiarist is compared with the current paper of the plagiarist; The plagiarist also admitted that it was his own fault. However, this matter is far from simple plagiarism.

Plagiarist 202 1 uploaded an article on arxiv without changing a word. A year after the plagiarism. Therefore, in terms of time, it is indisputable that Wang Jianfeng owns copyright.

It is different from the plagiarism of public papers that happened before. According to the regulations of AI conference, articles during the review period are not allowed to be leaked. Therefore, how the plagiarist got the paper is a big question. Comparing the plagiarized papers, Wang Jianfeng's papers and arxiv's plagiarized papers are put together and found to be almost verbatim. The method part is exactly the same, and it is definitely not "irregular writing"

For beginners, it is understandable to say that it is a common mistake or even a partial imitation. However, it is unreasonable to plagiarize the full text and should bear academic responsibility. What's more, this time it is copying unpublished articles. It can be said that if Wang Jianfeng hadn't hammered him, he would have taken away the copyright of this article, because the plagiarist was the first person to make it public. This is a very bad event. The results of several months or even years' work by researchers were seized by several hours' copying and pasting, which hurt not only Wang Jianfeng himself, but also the feelings of other people who did research seriously. Plagiarists should openly admit plagiarism and apologize, instead of saying "doing something wrong", "not knowing the situation" and "hoping not to leave a stain". Fortunately, Wang Jianfeng who copied Zhihu V has tens of thousands of fans this time. If he is an ordinary person who plagiarizes, it may be difficult to attract attention.

These things are more and more inspiring to tutors. We should first educate students on academic integrity and draw a clear line. Otherwise, it is difficult to go far on the academic road by leaving a criminal record.

ArXiv is a common platform for pre-publishing papers in the computer field, and authors can claim the ownership of some methods and ideas by pre-publishing papers to this platform. After the pre-release of the platform, it will not affect the submission and publication of other journals or conferences.

Wang Jianfeng pointed out that the titles of the two papers are exactly the same. In addition, there are almost the same abstracts, the same pictures and tabular data. And published in "none of the pictures, tables and formulas in arXiv's article are new, and no additional experiments have been done at all".

According to the information published by arXiv, the three authors of this paper are Gao, Zhang Hailun and He. It clearly shows that there are two works (the same work at the same time) and three works from Beijing Institute of Technology and Hohai University respectively. According to the student number of the public email prefix, Wang Jianfeng positioned the second work as Zhang Hailun, a 2020 graduate student of Intelligent Information Processing and Control in School of Automation, Beijing Institute of Technology.
