Pseudocode No The paper describes the algorithms and their mathematical formulations in text, but it does not include any explicit pseudocode blocks or clearly labeled algorithm figures.
Open Source Code No The paper does not contain any explicit statement or link indicating that the source code for the described methodology is publicly available.
Open Datasets No The paper uses a dataset from 'an existing mobile radio application' and describes its characteristics (50K users, 26K stories, 975K interactions collected over a five month period), but it does not provide concrete access information (e.g., a specific link, DOI, or citation to a public repository/well-known dataset) for this dataset.
Dataset Splits No The paper describes a temporal splitting strategy for training and testing (e.g., 'train on prior activities to infer the next hour of activity') and how 'user-cold'/'user-warm' and 'item-cold'/'item-warm' quartiles were defined. However, it does not explicitly define distinct validation dataset splits with specific percentages or counts, nor does it refer to standard predefined splits for the dataset used.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide any specific details about the hardware used to run the experiments, such as CPU models, GPU models, or memory specifications.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not list specific software dependencies with their version numbers (e.g., Python 3.x, TensorFlow 2.x, PyTorch 1.x).
Experiment Setup No The paper describes the models and evaluation setup, but it does not provide specific details on hyperparameters (e.g., learning rate, batch size, number of epochs) or other system-level training settings used for the experiments.
