Research Type Experimental Algorithm: We provide a simple, iterative algorithm for inference based on the belief propagation heuristic. For data generated from the model, we empirically demonstrate that the the algorithm achieves the conjectured information-theoretic threshold.

Pseudocode No The algorithm proceeds by computing, in an iterative fashion vertex messages ηt i, mt a for i [n], a [p] and edge messages ηt i j for all pairs (i, j) that are connected in the graph G. Starting from an initialization (ηt0, mt0)t0= 1,0, we update the messages in the following linear fashion: ηt+1 i j = ... (13). This describes the algorithm but is not formatted as pseudocode or an algorithm block.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any concrete access information (e.g., specific repository link, explicit code release statement, or code in supplementary materials) for the methodology described.
Open Datasets No Sample AG, B from Pλ,µ with n = 800, p = 1000, d = 5. This indicates the data was simulated/generated, not a publicly available or open dataset accessed via a link or citation.
Dataset Splits No Sample AG, B from Pλ,µ with n = 800, p = 1000, d = 5. Run BP algorithm for T = 50 iterations... The paper uses simulated data and does not provide specific dataset split information (exact percentages, sample counts, citations to predefined splits, or detailed splitting methodology).
Hardware Specification No The paper states 'In our experiments, we perform 100 Monte Carlo runs of the following process', but does not provide specific hardware details (exact GPU/CPU models, processor types, memory amounts, or detailed computer specifications) used for running its experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper describes the algorithm and experiments but does not provide specific ancillary software details (e.g., library or solver names with version numbers) needed to replicate the experiment.
Experiment Setup Yes In our experiments, we perform 100 Monte Carlo runs of the following process: ... 2. Run BP algorithm for T = 50 iterations with random initialization η0 i , η 1 i , m0 a, m 1 a iid N(0, 0.01).
