Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 stoch-greedy-c
Open Source Code No The paper mentions pseudocode in the supplementary material but does not provide explicit statements or links for the availability of open-source code for the described methodologies.
Open Datasets Yes The data summarization instance featured here in the main paper is the delicious dataset of URLs tagged with topics, and f takes a subset of URLs to the number of distinct topics represented by those URLs (n = 5000 with 8356 tags) [Soleimani and Miller, 2016].
Dataset Splits No The paper does not provide specific details regarding training, validation, or test dataset splits.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory) used for running the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific ancillary software details, such as library or solver names with version numbers, needed to replicate the experiments.
Experiment Setup Yes We run the algorithms with input ϵ in the range (0, 0.15) and threshold values between 0 and f(U) (f(U) is the total number of tags). When ϵ is varied, τ is fixed at 0.6f(U). When τ is varied, ϵ is fixed at 0.2. The parameter α is set to be 0.1 and the initial guess of |OPT| for stoch-greedy-c and convert-rand is set to be τ/ maxs f(s).
