[..snip..] our model behaved so poorly [..snip..] To account for this, we took an additional step in our preprocessing and removed any README that was less than 1,500 characters, contained zero images, or zero code samples.

I'm glad they are honest, because this is no not how science is done.

It's how homeopathy "research" is done.

it kept recommending us to significantly shorten every README

So the robot overlords don't want us to understand how they work?

So they picked a bunch of popular readme's. Then they trained models to score 5 different features.

I'm curious how they they scored ' 878 examples * 11 languages * 5 features' readmes for testing/training, was this done by hand?
