       | This is great! It always bugs me when I can't find an
       | implementation of a paper to reference. I'm much more likely to
       | read a paper if there is code associated with it.

         | reference site.

       | Great!
       | 
       | I greatly enjoy publications that provide their implementation
       | (or a simplified) version. Playing around with the problems
       | yourself, can give a much greater insight and understanding in
       | addition to the fundamental, written work.
       | 
       | However, I did encounter situations where providing the direct
       | implementation was seen as a bad thing. It was thought of as
       | `giving away your advantage' and squeezing out multiple papers
       | before even thinking about publishing the code had their
       | preference.
       | 
       | It is great to see more and more research publications go
       | together with their implementations.

       | Simple idea, great idea. Thanks.

       | This serves pretty much as an extensive Deep Learning State of
       | the Art reference. See e.g.

       | 
       | I am impressed by its content. I use both for research (to track
       | progress) and teaching. Previous references:

       | are great, but nowhere near Papers with Code, when it comes to
       | the completeness, and UI.

         | Unfortunately, outside of most popular tasks it is much less
         | populated. But it's community driven, so I encourage
         | researchers from areas for which leaderboards are not populated
         | to fill them and try to keep it up to date. It's not hard to
         | choose a single task and update the tables and can be very
         | profitable for the community.

       | Is this a site that attaches code examples to state of the art
       | research papers? This is excellent, if it's extensive.

         | It is very extensive. It has a lot of fairly domain-specific
         | work.

       | Amazing! Saves so much time not having to read a paper only to
       | find there is really no code or very limited code to run. Not
       | having delved too deep into this a suggestion would be to add the
       | level of completeness of code to each paper. There are times a
       | paper has great code included and 80% is there but is missing a
       | crucial piece, sometimes the secret sauce, which would render it
       | if not impossible to use. This is the case with a lot of OpenAI
       | papers.

         | Excluding some (e.g. OpenAI) papers that have limited their
         | released results for ethical purposes, why would the authors
         | generally not include their code?
         | 
         | I remember going through a digital image processing course in
         | uni where the final project was to implement a paper and check
         | the results, and I remember that our results, when coded were
         | different from the paper's authors (although I can't remember
         | if it was because we didn't code it like they did or if their
         | results were not to be trusted).
         | 
         | It's just so frustrating and borderline disingenuous to publish
         | results, mention bits of code, but not include the whole code.

       | Great website but too bad it's owned by Facebook. Personally I
       | don't feel comfortable that FB will own/manage/control a repo of
       | mostly academic research papers.
