Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 retraining process
Open Source Code Yes https://github.com/osu-srml/Automating-Data-Annotation-under-Strategic-Human-Agents
Open Datasets Yes We conduct experiments on two synthetic (Uniform, Gaussian), one semi-synthetic (German Credit [19]), and one real dataset (Credit Approval [20]) to validate the dynamics of at, qt, t and the unfairness 2.

UCI Machine Learning Repository, 2017. DOI: https://doi.org/10.24432/C5FS30.
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions training data and testing (validation) of theoretical findings but does not explicitly state the use of a distinct 'validation' dataset split or specify train/validation/test percentages/counts.
Hardware Specification Yes Generally, we run all experiments on a Mac Book Pro with Apple M1 Pro chips, memory of 16GB and Python 3.9.13.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions 'Python 3.9.13.' and 'SGDClassifier with logloss' but does not list specific version numbers for key libraries or software components (e.g., scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow, CUDA).
Experiment Setup Yes The decision-maker trains logistic regression models for all experiments using stochastic gradient descent (SGD) over T steps. All experiments are randomized with seed 42 to run n rounds. We use SGDClassifier with logloss to fit models.
