Pseudocode No The paper describes algorithmic processes such as Sinkhorn scaling, but it does not include a dedicated pseudocode block or algorithm box.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any statement or link indicating that source code for the described methodology is publicly available.
Open Datasets Yes Human data are measured based on Fig.2 of Goodman and Stuhlmüller [2013].
Dataset Splits No The paper does not provide specific details on training, validation, or test dataset splits (e.g., percentages, sample counts, or citations to predefined splits).
Hardware Specification No The paper does not mention any specific hardware (e.g., GPU/CPU models, cloud instances, or detailed computer specifications) used for running its experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific software dependencies or library version numbers (e.g., Python 3.8, PyTorch 1.9) required to replicate the experiments.
Experiment Setup Yes Assume a uniform prior on D and λ = 1. Shared matrix M and prior over H are sampled from symmetric Dirichlet distribution with hyperparameter α = 0.15. Sample size is 10^6 per plotted point.
