[R] Is this paper Nonsense ? [DCdetector: Dual Attention Contrastive Representation Learning for Time Series Anomaly Detection]

What the title says. this is a pretty big paper in the deep learning anomaly detection space, accepted at the International Conference on Knowledge Discovery & Data Mining (KDD 2023) with hundreds of references. [ arxi ] When i cloned and run their source code [ repo ], the model seems to be working fine, that is until you look closer at the code and results. The original source code does not log the loss progress which i found questionable so i started logging it myself, and the results where quite interesting.
