Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We conduct experiments on different IR tasks, and our BBCU significantly outperforms other BNNs and lightweight models, which shows that BBCU can serve as a basic unit for binarized IR networks.

Pseudocode No The paper does not contain any structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code Yes The code is available at https://github.com/Zj-Bin Xia/BBCU
Open Datasets Yes We train all models on DIV2K (Agustsson & Timofte, 2017), which contains 800 high-quality images. Besides, we adopt widely used test sets for evaluation and report PSNR and SSIM. [...] In addition, we use Set5 (Bevilacqua et al., 2012), Set14 (Zeyde et al., 2010), B100 (Martin et al., 2001), Urban100 (Huang et al., 2015), and Manga109 (Matsui et al., 2017) for evaluation.
Dataset Splits No The paper specifies training parameters and datasets used for training and testing, but it does not explicitly describe a validation data split (e.g., 'X% for validation', or a specific validation set name) separate from training and test.
Hardware Specification Yes We implement our models with a Tesla V100 GPU.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions 'Matlab standard JPEG encoder' but does not provide specific version numbers for any software dependencies.
Experiment Setup Yes The mini-batch contains 16 images with the size of 192 192 randomly cropped from training data. We set the initial learning rate to 1 10 4, train models with 300 epochs, and perform halving every 200 epochs. [...] The amplification factor k in the residual alignment is set to 130.
