@skadio and @jgFages - Thanks for agreeing to review this submission.
This is the review thread for the paper. All of our communications will happen here from now on.

As you can see above, you each should use the command @editorialbot generate my checklist to create your review checklist. @editorialbot commands need to be the first thing in a new comment.

As you go over the submission, please check any items that you feel have been satisfied. There are also links to the JOSS reviewer guidelines.

The JOSS review is different from most other journals. Our goal is to work with the authors to help them meet our criteria instead of merely passing judgment on the submission. As such, reviewers are encouraged to submit issues and pull requests on the software repository. When doing so, please mention openjournals/joss-reviews#5654 so that a link is created to this thread (and I can keep an eye on what is happening). Please also feel free to comment and ask questions on this thread. In my experience, it is better to post comments/questions/suggestions as you come across them instead of waiting until you've reviewed the entire package.

We aim for reviews to be completed within about 2-4 weeks. Please let me know if either of you require some more time. We can also use editorialbot (our bot) to set automatic reminders if you know you'll be away for a known period of time.

Please feel free to ping me (@danielskatz) if you have any questions/concerns.

reminder to self: @skadio said when accepting this review "I might take some time (~8 weeks)."

[jgFages]

Data Mining with Constraint Programming is indeed an interesting topic of Research.
The paper is well written, and well illustrated. The literature review is good and the tool is well motivated.

I have however a few remarks regarding both the paper and the software :

• I recommend to follow Choco Solver implementation standards, by :
  -- Prefixing propagators by Prop, as it is done in Choco Solver (CoverSize -> PropCoverSize) to emphasize the difference between a constraint and a propagator
  -- Regrouping these constraints within a Factory, that would be the main entry point of the library
  -- Keeping the post() instruction at the end of the line : model.arithm(...).post() is more common than model.post(model.arithm(...))
• More generally, as the software name includes Choco and therefore sounds "official" from the chocoteam (see https://github.com/chocoteam/), I would recommend to have to some kind of code review with @cprudhom. If he is a co-worker, I guess it would be easy to organize. Maybe the project should be hosted in that repo.
• What is the software license ?

Minor :

@ChaVer congratulations on your IJCAI'22 paper and turning it into a library.

This submission is clearly relevant to JOSS and almost there in terms of publication, with a few suggestions that needs to be accounted for:

• typo in summary: "task ," remove extra space

• The readme needs a major update. Luckily you have all that information in the WIKI and the Paper

The current readme is not in sync with the wiki.

A user looking at the Readme would not understand that this is a "library" which was my main confusion initially. It almost seems like a standalone command line tool, which is not the case here, it is indeed a library. Even worse, it first looked like a repo to me to reproduce the experiments from the IJCAI'22 paper.

Compared to that; the Wiki does a much better job. https://gitlab.com/chaver/data-mining/-/wikis/home

My recommendation is creating a lean / subset of the Wiki to replace the current Readme. You can cite the IJCAI paper at top but push the commentary about reproducing experiments to the bottom (or better, leave in a section in the detailed Wiki).

My major concern about the paper is: I am not sure if an outsider would immediately understand what are these constraints are. Currently the in the Readme, the constraints are listed under "Installation" which is not right. My recommendation is: create a specific section in the README for this and mimic what's in the Wiki. I almost tempted to say use the Wiki as the Readme.

The paper does an adequate job of description the tasks (like, what is skypattern mining) but the Readme and Wiki don't do that.

My overall comment is:

• We need to clearly describe the Constraints
• We need to clearly describe the Tasks

where the ultimate goal is, once this is published in JOSS, an informed outsider (not a pattern mining expert) can leverage your library. You have all this material across the Paper, Readme, and Wiki but need to refresh the Readme and Wiki with a lens to cater to an outsider. The example in the paper is great so I would highly suggest adding a "Quick Start Example" to the very top of the README.

• state-of-the-field + references: please also mention the Seq2Pat library which is immediately relevant for declarative (sequential) pattern mining cite its relevant references from AI Mag'23 and AAAI'22. You might also consider citing the dichotomic pattern mining framework from Frontiers'22. These are listed here https://github.com/fidelity/seq2pat#citation

• I would also argue for taking that paper folder "outside" of this library. You can have your reproducibility repo in standalone and use your own library from there to show/reproduce the results. Then, you can link to that paper repo from the references here. As a "user" of the "library" I am not immediately interested in paper reproducing scripts. Notice also, down the road, your reproducibility scripts needs to stay identical whereas the library will move.

Hope this helps you improve your submission.

Happy to take another quick look once you update the library

Dear reviewers,

Thank you for your valuable comments and suggestions for improving both the paper and the library.

@jgFages :

• We have carefully considered your observations concerning the implementation standards of Choco Solver and made the necessary updates to the library accordingly.
• The software license of the library is MIT, which can be verified at the following link: https://gitlab.com/chaver/data-mining/-/blob/master/LICENSE.txt.
• As for the potential code review with Charles Prudhomme and the possibility of hosting the library in the Choco Solver repository, we will promptly discuss this matter with him.

@skadio :

• We have made revisions to the README to accurately represent Choco-Mining as a library rather than a repository for reproducing IJCAI experiments.
• A clear and comprehensive description of the constraints along with their associated tasks has been provided in the README.
• We have included an illustrative example in the README to demonstrate the proper utilization of the library.
• References to the Seq2Pat library have been included both in the README and the paper, specifically in the "CP and Pattern Mining" section.

[skadio]

@ChaVer thank you for the updates! The readme is much improved now, and better reflects the power of the tool to an interested user now. Same for the manuscript.

My only final comment would the order of sections in the readme. Currently, it starts with the Architecture, Installation, and then the Illustrative Example, and Documents. Why not bring the Example to the top? So in my mind, you have the intro (as a reader I am thinking, what does this tool do?), the example (show me how it looks), installation (example is cool, how can I use this?), and documentation (where do I go to with questions and more details). Small change, but I think it would help you.

@danielskatz this is good to go from my side.

[danielskatz]

@jgFages - I look forward to your thoughts when you get a chance, and thanks to @skadio for yours

[danielskatz]

@ChaVer - https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8263971 does seem to work. Can you share the URL to the archive so that I can take a look at it that way for now?

[ChaVer]

@danielskatz the url of the archive is https://zenodo.org/record/8263971

@ChaVer - I've suggested some minor changes in https://gitlab.com/chaver/choco-mining/-/merge_requests/4 - please merge this, or let me know what you disagree with.

Also, I'm unsure of the inconsistency between "Choco Solver" and "Choco-solver" as both are used in various places in the paper.

[ChaVer]

@danielskatz I've just accepted the merge request.

I've also updated the paper to replace "Choco Solver" with "Choco-solver". Should I also update the title of the paper ?

[danielskatz]

I think that updating the title as well would make sense

I've just updated the paper with the new title.
