Pseudocode No The paper does not contain any structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any concrete access information (e.g., repository link, explicit statement of code release) for its methodology.
Open Datasets Yes COLON was collected from a sample of 929 subjects to evaluate the effects of the drugs levamisole and fluorouracil on resected colon carcinoma [45]. METABRIC includes paired DNA-RNA profiles and clinical information of 1,980 breast cancer patients, among which 57.7 percent are recorded to die from the cancer [16]. Rot GBSG is the breast cancer data extracted from the Rotterdam tumor bank [21] and the German Breast Cancer Study Group [54]. WHAS is a data set of 1,638 subjects for studying the factors of acute myocardial infarction [30].
Dataset Splits Yes The evaluation for each dataset is done via 5-fold cross-validation, where we randomly split each dataset into 5 equal folds that correspond to different train/test sets. Within each fold, 20% of the training data is reserved as a validation set.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details (e.g., exact GPU/CPU models, memory) used for running its experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions a 'Gaussian kernel' and 'L2 regularization' but does not provide specific software names with version numbers (e.g., Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow versions).
Experiment Setup No The paper mentions the use of neural networks and L2 regularization, and that the Appendix contains implementation details. However, it does not provide specific hyperparameter values (e.g., learning rate, batch size, number of epochs) or detailed training configurations in the main text.
