It’s a research paper so most probably there won’t be any software delivered. Sadly it’s not the norm for researchers to release the code or an user-fronting application when doing computing research (or any research). Open source exist but is even rarer. There’s dozens of very useful and advanced creation tools created in labs that never turned into usable application. In some domains big players pick up on the research and include it as a feature, but many advances just stay in labs for ever. The rare one that are released as usable applications by the authors are most of the time not supported and end up abandoned—quite similar from many non-research software in that respect, but a little more sad as they are often more unique, like for example the free-form plush creation tool from a Japanese lab I remember from several years back. The most irritating is when tax-money funded labs don’t incentivize their researchers to open source their code, and we end up with a innovative software tool, closed source and with proprietary licenses, that is effectively only the research playground of one researcher, mimicking a product but never really turning into a product.
