本文评估了十年间 *CL 出版物中链接的 GitHub 仓库的可用性,发现近期论文中仓库不可用率与早期相当,主要源于空仓库和占位仓库的增加。
AI 中文摘要
计算语言学(*CL)会议和期刊上发表的论文越来越多地通过 GitHub 共享源代码和数据。虽然这对于自然语言处理(NLP)研究工件的可访问性和潜在可重用性总体而言是有利的,但这些仓库的长期可用性尚未得到评估。在本短文中,我们讨论了过去十年中发表在《计算语言学》(CL)期刊以及 ACL 及其联合举办的会议上的论文中链接的仓库的可用性。与我们的预期相反,我们发现近期 ACL 出版物中链接的 GitHub 仓库的不可用率与较早出版物中的比率相似,部分原因是空仓库和占位仓库的增加。其他 *CL 会议也呈现出类似的趋势,但 GitHub 以外的平台则不然。
英文摘要
Source code and data published at computational linguistics (*CL) venues are increasingly being shared via GitHub. While this generally is a favourable development for the accessibility and potential reusability of research artifacts in natural language processing (NLP), the long-term availability of such repositories has not been evaluated. In this squib, we discuss the availability of repositories linked in papers published in the Computational Linguistics (CL) journal as well as at ACL and its co-located events over the past ten years. Contrary to our expectations, we find that GitHub repositories linked in more recent ACL publications are unavailable at similar rates as in older publications, in parts due to an increase in empty and placeholder repositories. Similar trends hold for other *CL venues, but not for platforms other than GitHub.
CommentsAccepted for publication in Computational Linguistics. Author's final version (pre-MIT Press publication)
