As with most deep learning papers, though, the results aren't independently reproducible. The dataset is private, the source is closed, and it hasn't been turned into a product. The magic inking button is still a ways off yet.

Is this source and data set not open? Is this not the source:

https://github.com/satoshiiizuka/siggraph2016_colorization

And is this not the dataset:

http://places.csail.mit.edu

I'm really asking, because I've downloaded the project and skimmed the paper, but haven't had time to vet these assumptions. On the face of it, it seems everything is provided, but you've vetted it further and learned that isn't true?

I'm talking about the auto-inker project that BunnyRubenstein linked, not the auto-colorization project from the parent submission.

They're not required to release code and a dataset. If you can get away with doing less why not? Everyone in every discipline does this. Finance, home improvement, retail, consulting...
