Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental 6 Experimental Results We studied the effects of using DEFRAG variants with several extreme classification algorithms, as well as compared DEFRAG with other clustering algorithms. Our implementation of DEFRAG is available at the URL given below. Code Link: https://github.com/purushottamkar/defrag/
Researcher Affiliation Academia Ankit Jalan and Purushottam Kar Department of CSE, IIT Kanpur, INDIA aankitjalan@gmail.com, purushot@cse.iitk.ac.in
Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 DEFRAG: Make-Tree
Open Source Code Yes Our implementation of DEFRAG is available at the URL given below. Code Link: https://github.com/purushottamkar/defrag/
Open Datasets Yes All datasets, train-test splits, and implementations of extreme classification algorithms were sourced from the Extreme Classification Repository [Bhatia et al., 2019].
Dataset Splits Yes All datasets, train-test splits, and implementations of extreme classification algorithms were sourced from the Extreme Classification Repository [Bhatia et al., 2019].
Hardware Specification No The paper states, 'Except for Di SMEC on Amazon Cat (which required 12 cores to execute scalably), all times are reported on a single core.' This mentions core usage but lacks specific hardware details such as CPU models, GPU types, or memory specifications.
Software Dependencies No For SCBC, LSC and ITDC, public implementations were not available and scalable implementations were created in the Python language. The paper does not provide specific version numbers for Python or any other software libraries or dependencies used in the experiments.
Experiment Setup Yes Hyperparameters. If available, hyperparameter settings recommended by authors were used for all methods. If unavailable, a fine grid search was performed over a reasonable range to offer adequately tuned hyperparameters to the methods. DEFRAG had its only hyperparameter, the max size of a feature cluster d0 (see Algorithm 1), fixed to 8.
