| Reproducibility Variable | Result | LLM Response |
|---|---|---|
| Research Type | Experimental | We evaluate the network choice model on three datasets that are representative of two distinct application domains. |
| Researcher Affiliation | Academia | 1School of Computer and Communication Sciences, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland. |
| Pseudocode | Yes | Algorithm 1 Choice Rank |
| Open Source Code | Yes | Our code is publicly available online4. 4See: http://lucas.maystre.ch/choicerank. |
| Open Datasets | Yes | Recently, it also released clickstream data from the English version of Wikipedia (Wulczyn & Taraborelli, 2016), providing us with essential ground-truth transition-level data. [...] We also consider a second clickstream dataset from a Hungarian online news portal2. The data is publicly available at http://fimi.ua.ac.be/data/. [...] Next, we consider trip data from Citi Bike, New York City s bicycle-sharing system3. The data is available at https://www.citibikenyc.com/system-data. |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper describes using ground-truth transition data for evaluation and aggregating marginal traffic for model fitting, but it does not specify any explicit train/validation/test dataset splits with percentages, counts, or predefined citations. |
| Hardware Specification | Yes | We run 20 iterations of Choice Rank on a dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 machine, with 256 GB of RAM and 6 HDDs configured in RAID 0. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper mentions implementation in "Rust programming language" but does not provide specific version numbers for Rust or any other ancillary software components, libraries, or solvers used in the experiments. |
| Experiment Setup | Yes | We set α = 2.0 and β = 1.0 (these small values simply guarantee the convergence of the algorithm) and declare convergence when λ(t) λ(t 1) 1/n < 10 8. |
