How come the compiled version has more features than the source code?

I could at least spot that the compiled version has the instrument buttons. Also, would you mind releasing the model?

Yeah, the compiled version is a C++ port of the python one with just a few small differences like the instrument button.

I usually don't release pre-trained models for a few reasons:

  • My C++ framework is custom-built and the models are not really compatible with existing tools
  • I don't really have time to document the data format and usage
  • The original models are really large (in this case 350MBs) and I don't have a good place to host it
  • There could be privacy or ownership issues depending on the data used
  • I don't want the pre-trained models to be used commercially (code is MIT licenced though)

Hopefully it should not be too hard to train a similar model yourself with the code provided.
