Research Type Experimental Figure 1: Left: The eigenvalues of Res CGPK (filled circles and solid lines) computed numerically for various eigenfunctions... Figure 2: The effective receptive field (ERF) induced by Res CNTK compared to that of a network and to the kernel and network with the skip connections removed. We followed (Luo et al., 2016) in computing the ERF, where the networks are first trained on CIFAR-10.

Pseudocode No The paper does not contain any pseudocode or clearly labeled algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide an explicit statement about open-source code availability or a link to a code repository for its methodology.
Open Datasets Yes Figure 2: The effective receptive field (ERF) induced by Res CNTK compared to that of a network and to the kernel and network with the skip connections removed. We followed (Luo et al., 2016) in computing the ERF, where the networks are first trained on CIFAR-10.
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions training on 'CIFAR-10' in Figure 2 caption, but does not specify any dataset splits (e.g., percentages, sample counts, or specific split files) for training, validation, or testing.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific details about the hardware used for running its experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific software dependencies with version numbers needed to replicate the experiments.
Experiment Setup Yes Figure 1 specifies 'L = 3, q = 2, d = 4'. Figure 2 mentions 'L = 8'. Figure 3 specifies 'n = 100'. Appendix G confirms: 'Thus the kernel computed is with d = 4, q = 2, α = 1'.
