MatthewFlamm commented 1 year ago

Installation requires: https://github.com/mendezVKI/SPICY_VKI/pull/4

The dependencies of the package are also a little messy, and this results in unneeded packages being installed, ~not as critical~: https://github.com/mendezVKI/SPICY_VKI/issues/3

Edit: I now think both are important as some dependencies might be required to run tutorials for verifying functionality.

MatthewFlamm commented 1 year ago

I could not find any community guidance in the repo/documentation. Tracked in https://github.com/mendezVKI/SPICY_VKI/issues/8

MatthewFlamm commented 1 year ago

I have gone through the checklist and consider my review complete, pending needed changes to the paper and repository. High level is that I believe this submission solves a useful scientific need. The tutorials are of generally good quality, although I was not able to run the 3D case on my machine due to memory constraint. In the future, I would suggest to the authors to think about how the package could become easier to use for users as the workflow seems to have many common elements in each case. Today, the code does provide useful tools for researchers in this area. However, the repository is currently messily organized (see https://github.com/mendezVKI/SPICY_VKI/issues/2) and missing several key items for acceptance today. See below on specifics.

Other than what I have already commented above, these are my comments relating to the last items: Major comments:

mendezVKI commented 1 year ago

Thank you so much for your feedback and wonderful work, Matthew.

I will address all points early next week.

All the best,

I have gone through the checklist and consider my review complete, pending needed changes to the paper and repository. ...

Thanks for your comprehensive review, @MatthewFlamm!

mendezVKI commented 1 year ago

Dears, thank you so much for your detailed review.

I have addressed all points in the issues. Concerning the ones open in this check list:

  1. References: I modified a bit them, removing the one that was creating problem and added others concerning open-software for PIV/PTV. There are still a couple of references that do not have a DOI; this is because these are conf papers. I considered for a moment removing these, but I feel that there is very useful information there so I prefer to keep them.

  2. A statement of need: I add a sentence mentioning open-source software and about positioning SPICY in the larger landscape. Although some authors (e.g. the cited Rao 2020) shared a github ref with their implementation of the assimilation using PINNs, we have not found any software package similar to SPICY. We state this clearly. Concerning the lack of "a clear description of who the software is intended to be used by", we added a clear statement in the readme but can't fit it in the 2 page format of the article without removing important references. The section reports the main context (data assimilation for velocimetry) that the SPICY package targets, so it is implicit that it targets anyone interested in this topic.

  3. Automated tests: We will consider this for the next release; thank you very much for the suggestion. As beginners in software developments we limited ourselves to tutorials designed to test all the key functions. In our experience, it seems that users learn how to use the code quite quickly while having a good grasp of the underlying numerics from the videos we provided on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/@spicyVKI).

  4. Community guidelines. Indeed, these were missing. We added an .md file with instructions (as per solved issue)

  5. Installation instructions and related documentation. Indeed, several dependencies were unclear. We fixed this as suggested in the issue. We now include an installation with optional dependencies for the tutorials.

The folder should now be clean. I twine upload everything in a few hours.

Once again, thank you so much for the very detailed review and suggestions :)

Hi @mendezVKI, please fix these missing and invalid references. Thanks!

mendezVKI commented 10 months ago

I apologize for the late response; I missed this update.

The reference "Main results of the first Data Assimilation Challenge" has been removed. Did something go wrong with the resubmission ? I attach the latest pdf I find in my "Action-> Artifacts" session paper.pdf

The references that do not have a DOI are conference papers for which this info is not relevant. Nevertheless, these are still very valuable to this work and we wish to cite these (papers are available on arxiv).

Edit: I corrected the 10.1016/j.taml.2020.01.039 reference.

MatthewFlamm commented 10 months ago

I got busy in the last few weeks, but was able to get back to this. I have checked all the boxes.

While there is no explicit statement of who the software is intended to be used by, I think the article and tutorials provide enough context, especially given the expanded discussion of other software packages.

I have added an issue https://github.com/mendezVKI/SPICY_VKI/issues/9, which highlights a typo for installation instructions. But given the substantial changes to the readme and clear installation instructions there, this doesn't hold up my approval on this point.

Hi Miguel,

Apologies for the delay. Once @nolankucd confirms his review is complete, we can move to the final publication stages, which should be relatively quick.

Thanks @mendezVKI. Could you add a tag to the main SPICY_VKI GitHub repository? i.e. add a "1.0.5" tag for the latest code. In this way, users can be sure they are using the exact repository in this article. Thanks.
