Papers With Code — User Guide

Papers with code (SOTA).

Strengths
  • There is a one-to-one correspondence between the paper and the code, and you can directly find the implementation.
  • Track SOTA (best results) rankings for each task
  • Completely free, no registration required
  • Unified indexing of datasets and models
  • Deep integration with arXiv
Best for
  • Find the code implementation corresponding to the paper
  • Understand the current best approach to a task
  • Discover high-quality open source AI projects
  • Track progress in a specific research area
  • Find benchmark data sets

Find the code corresponding to the paper

The core function of Papers With Code is to match papers with open source code implementations.

Scenario

Find the code implementation of the paper

Prompt example
Method 1: Search through papers
1. Search the paper title at paperswithcode.com
2. Click on the paper and view the "Code" tab
3. List all related code repositories
4. Sort by number of stars and choose the most popular ones

Method 2: Extension through arXiv
1. Install Papers With Code browser extension
2. Automatically display code links on arXiv paper pages

Method 3: Search directly on GitHub
Search on GitHub:
"paper title" + "implementation"
Output / what to expect
Find the official or community implementation of the paper, Directly run the code to verify the paper results, Significantly saves reproducibility time.
Tips

Give priority to the official implementation (provided by the author), and secondly choose the community implementation with a large number of stars.

Scenario

View task SOTA rankings

Prompt example
Check it out at paperswithcode.com/sota:

Popular tasks ranking:
- Image Classification
- Object Detection
- Machine Translation
- Question Answering
- Text Generation

Each task displays:
- Current best methods and results
- Historical progress curve
- Corresponding papers and codes
- Dataset used
Output / what to expect
Understand the current best approach to a task, Judge the gap between your own method and SOTA, Find the baseline method that is most worth reproducing.
Tips

SOTA rankings are the fastest way to understand the current status of a certain research direction.
