Earlier quoted context omitted.

To be fair, the academic article did include the code : https://github.com/facebookresearch/deepmask It was just in Lua.

Deepmask is something else.

You are right, it's a different paper. But they both do instance segmentation and both build upon faster r cnn.

Surprised I still haven't seen a pytorch translation of deepmask / sharpmask. But glad to see atleast a tensorflow implementation. Will definitely try it out.

Been out for a couple months:

no performance evaluation on MSCOCO

Evaluation code against MS COCO is included in the repository, both for bounding boxes and segmentation masks so it should be easy to run (but takes a long time).

We should publish more details, though. Thanks for bringing it up. Our implementation deviates a bit from the paper (as mentioned in the documentation), and optimizing for COCO was a 'nice to have' rather than being the main objective. We got pretty close to the reported numbers (within 3 to 4 percentage points) but that was with half the training steps compared to the paper. We'll try to add more details over the next few days.

> Unfortunately, we could not fit the model into the GPU we have and there is some ambiguity in the paper as well, so we decided to stop the project and wait until the official code being released.

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.

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.

(1) It's not free when the research is funded by public tax dollars (which I grant is not always, but often the case).

(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."
