Pseudocode Yes The method we propose is presented as Algorithm 1 (ZOVarag), and is an adaptation of Varag (Lan et al., 2019) to the DFO setting.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide an explicit statement or link to open-source code for the described methodology.
Open Datasets Yes We conduct experiments for both logistic regression and ridge regression with and without ℓ2 regularization on the diabete dataset (n = 442, d = 10) from sklearn and the ijcnn1 dataset (n = 49990, d = 22) from LIBSVM.
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions using the 'diabete dataset' and 'ijcnn1 dataset' but does not specify details about training, validation, or test splits (e.g., percentages, sample counts, or explicit reference to standard splits used for reproducibility).
Hardware Specification No The paper does not specify any particular hardware (e.g., GPU models, CPU types, memory) used for running the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific version numbers for any software libraries, frameworks, or environments used (e.g., Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow versions).
Experiment Setup Yes The choice of the hyperparameters chosen for each algorithm is detailed in the appendix.
