Looking for clarifications #3

Hi, This is a very useful tool. Thank you for making it available. I was reading your paper and code, and I wondering if you could clarify me which method names in the code correspond to those in the paper. In the code, the matching methods are {"a": "inter", "m": "mwmf", "i": "itermax", "f": "fwd", "r": "rev"}. In the paper, I can only see 3: argmax, itermax, and match. So, besides the obvious itermax, which method in the code corresponds to argmax and which to match? From the code, I think inter refers to argmax and mwmf to match, but I ask to be sure. Thanks for your help!

Hello Fernando, Thank you for your interest in our work. Yes, you are right. the argmax model in the paper is equivalent to the inter method in the code, and match is presented as mwmf.
