Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 ADMM for exemplar-based HDP mixture (6)
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any explicit statement or link indicating that the source code for the methodology is openly available.
Open Datasets Yes Our experiments for DP mixture model are conducted on 5 publicly available data sets: Iris, Glass, Wine, DNA and Segment. For HDP mixture model, we experiment on Wholesale and Water data sets. ... All of the data sets can be downloaded from UCI Machine Learning Repository
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions the use of datasets for experiments but does not provide specific details on training, validation, or test splits, nor does it describe cross-validation setups.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide any specific details about the hardware used for running the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not specify versions for any software dependencies or libraries used in the implementation or experiments.
Experiment Setup Yes Since the algorithm gives different result for different order of updating {z(t) i }N i=1, we run the algorithm for 1000 rounds with random permutation on the updating in order to achieve better local optimum. Global mean is used as initialization as specified in (Kulis & Jordan, 2012). ... In our experiment, we fix maximum number of Frank-Wolfe iterations to 30.
