Review for NeurIPS paper: CodeCMR: Cross-Modal Retrieval For Function-Level Binary Source Code Matching

Neural Information Processing Systems 

Weaknesses: I thought that the motivation for function-level matching was a bit weak. I would have liked the paper to open with a scenario or two where the his useful, or absolutely necessary. Another issue is that the paper is not necessarily technically deep. Though I hesitate to be too tough on the paper for that reason; being able to get really good results with a simple method may be considered a feature of the approach. Actually, it is surprising to me that the authors treat source code as text, and binary code as a context free grammar.
