Notice: The reproducibility variables underlying each score are classified using an automated LLM-based pipeline, validated against a manually labeled dataset. LLM-based classification introduces uncertainty and potential bias; scores should be interpreted as estimates. Full accuracy metrics and methodology are described in [1].

Research Type Experimental We present several numerical experiments, which show that the algorithm proposed in the present paper scales well with the dimension and is extremely versatile. To quantify the performances of the new approach, we show that the algorithm is able to perform essentially as good as ad hoc state of the art methods in challenging problems in signal processing and machine learning, namely the phase retrieval problem and the robust subspace detection.

Open Source Code Yes For the sake of reproducible research, in the repository https://github.com/Philippe Su/KV-CBO we provide the Matlab code, which implements the algorithms on the test cases of this paper.
Open Datasets Yes For the robust subspace detection we test the algorithm also in dimension d 3000 on the Adult Faces Database (Bainbridge et al., 2013) for the computation of eigenfaces.
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions using a
Hardware Specification No The authors acknowledge the support and the facilities of the LRZ Compute Cloud of the Leibniz Supercomputing Center of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences, on which the numerical experiments of this paper have been tested.
Software Dependencies No For the comparsion we used the Matlab toolbox Phase Pack (Chandra et al., 2017) and our own code.
Experiment Setup Yes We report in Figure 2 the particle trajectories for t [0, 5] in the case of N = 20, t = 0.05, σ = 0.25 and α = 50. On the left we consider the case with minimum at v = (0, 0, 1)T , on the right the case with minimum at v = (1/ 2, 1/2, 1/2)T . The time evolution of the particle distribution ρ(v, t) in the numerical mean field limit for N = 106 is also reported in the upper part of the same figure.
