God bless people who implement models from academic articles that should frankly include them to begin with. What's more is that this implementation has clear instructions for extending this to your datasets.
It was just in Lua.
Is anyone collecting the various HN discussions as these pop up? I would appreciate help finding them again.
Boo hoo. Researchers tell the world for free exactly how to implement their state-of-the-art work (which probably cost north of $1M to develop) and promise to release code, and we're indignant because they didn't do it quite fast enough for us.
(2) I'm not aware of this promise you're speaking of... my understanding is that authors of papers are under no obligation to produce any implementation, let alone usable, documented implementations.
The work was done at FAIR (Facebook), so that's not applicable here.

Look at the paper [1], it's the last sentence of the abstract: "Code will be made available."
