With all such results there is one question: are they releasing code? Otherwise... it's a nice demo to watch, but impossible to use (and even: hard to increment on it).

Well that'd be research code anyway :) You'd probably better off rebuilding from scratch based on the research paper. The software shouldn't be that complicated in the end, the main challenge (to me) is gathering that 86M images dataset.

Research code is infinitely better than no code. Research papers are almost never complete enough to reimplement it (seriously - I met a lot of academicians doing it, and most of the time it was not possible without contacting authors; just - text does not compile).

(A similar things holds for data as well.)
