Has anyone had success accessing this dataset by request? I have not heard back from a request for the data after over 6 weeks, despite following the protocol listed on the dataset website.

I got the same situation,have you received any infomation?

[jpgard]

No, the official contact listed in the paper was unresponsive to my requests, as were the authors of the paper. Sad to see that the purported main contribution of their work -- the dataset -- is actually not available, as far as I can tell.

the official diversity-in-faces program webpage has gone, it seems that they donot want to share it any more under the pressure of public opinion raising by media. I am looking for someone who has the dataset and begging for a copy, but no luck at all for now.

Tried to get this without success. This is very unfortunate. IBM got so much publicity from this announcement and then they retired access to the dataset without any explanation or clarification. They still keep the announcement online as if this dataset was still availabl , which is not the case. This is not right.

This would be absolutely great.
I agree it's a shame how private IBM is keeping this dataset

It'd be nice if the media stopped ruining everything just one day.
