Reason for not releasing the source code?

[xuansontrinh]

Hello authors,

I am very interested in this project and would like to have the true implementation of the model to see if I can somehow improve it.
However, as can be seen from issue #11 and #8 , it is believed that the implementation will not see the public release date any time soon, although you promised to do it in #4.
Can I ask why is it the case? If it is because of human resource shortage, I am willing to help you out.

Thank you for creating this wonderful project and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best Regards,
Son.

Hi Son, Thank you for your interest in our work! We eventually decided to release only the trained-model demo + API. We also released the data and the data creation code, to allow other researchers to compare their results on the exact same data. Best, Uri

@urialon I see, thank you for your swift reply.
Is that okay with you if I ask a lot of questions regarding the model when I attempt to reproduce it?

P/s: I saw that in the file preprocess.sh there is a folder called scripts being used but I cannot find it in the souce code. Am I missing something?

[urialon]

Sure! Feel free to ask as many questions as you'd like.

Sorry for the missing file, I just uploaded it. Let me know if you have any more questions.

@urialon I appreciate you releasing the dataset and prepro code, but it will be very hard to reproduce your work from the mysterious phrasing of Section 3 alone.

Hi @ocramz ,
Sorry about that.
Let me know if there are any specific things that are unclear.

We have a newer model, PolyCoder, that performs better, and works for 12 programming languages.
Would you like to try it?
