Not as a way to get you back in but I believe such behavior should still be reported. To both, the person who referred you and someone who manages said internal recruiter (ideally C levels if it's a small company). It is costing the company a solid candidate and they'd prefer to know as well.

Other issues aside, CatalyzeX has annoyed me for a long time. The creators of the extension used to spam almost all ML/DL related social media. Maybe they still do, I don't know cos now I've stopped following all of those platforms.

Why did it annoy me so much? - They would share the popular, latest papers that most people in the ML sphere would anyways come across if they follow academia twitter or ML subreddit. That is fine in itself but no, those posts would hijack the original source (mostly arxiv or respective project page) by taking you to the CatalyzeX website which is mainly designed to drive traffic to it and has all sorts of irritating design patterns. Mostly, it just felt dishonest and a blatant shadowing of the original authors' hard work to me.

This looks great. I have been developing interest in CG recently and this looks like a great way to start. Thank you.

And finding your Imdb profile was a nice addition on top ;)

All the best.

Struggling through their newly released tensorflow-graphics library right now. They wrote it, published some simple, single google-colab tutorials and left it at that. No documentation anywhere else

IKEA Effect 9 years ago

I think people are biased towards things that required (or contain some form of) some input from their side.

Robert Cialdini, in his famous book - "Psychology of persuasion", talks about an extreme version of such an effect in the case of Fraternities and Hazing where the members of fraternities display a greater commitment and respect towards their respective fraternity even though they might have had to go through a harsh and humiliating initiation process.

In this sense, IKEA effect, "find" effect, "my kid is the best" effect etc can all be traced to a common ancestor phenomena.
