>It's just good news when you can find source code at all instead of just being told vague things about something the author did. This is extremely common, and I don't see why it should be allowed. I could easily write a paper claiming some kind of interesting result, fake a few "ground truth vs my algorithm" pairs, and talk a bit of mathy-sounding piffle about what it does - and it would be indistinguishable from many papers I have read. In my opinion - provide runnable source, or what you have isn't a paper, it's a boast.
