Now with an accepted paper, I began sharing the results with all the companies. I emailed IBM’s Ruchir as well as Microsoft and Face++ representatives, since their companies were all implicated by the paper. I heard back from Ruchir almost immediately. He wanted to know who the competitors were. I had sent the paper results with all the findings, but instead of including the company names I used companies A, B, and C. They would have to wait until the conference to know for sure who their competitors were.
