Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We run the online experiments to verify the effectiveness of the proposed deep learning framework. The test scenario is to estimate both CTR and CVR for the displayed items returned by our search engine, which are used to rerank the returned items. We compare the ranking results for the proposed deep learning framework to those generated by the linear model (i.e. logistic regression model). The A/B tests show that, using the proposed method, we observe a 6% improvement in both CVR and GMV compared to directly using the linear model.

Pseudocode No The paper does not contain any pseudocode or clearly labeled algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No No statement regarding open-source code availability for the described methods or a link to a code repository is provided.
Open Datasets Yes The target domain in our experiment is images from Open Images dataset [Krasin et al., 2016]. Openimages: A public dataset for large-scale multi-label and multi-class image classification. Dataset available from https://github.com/openimages, 2016. We run the proposed algorithm against the imagenet dataset to discretize the weights of Resnet-18 [He et al., 2016]. We run the proposed algorithm for object detection, using either Darknet+SSD [Liu et al., 2016] or VGG16+SSD, over Pascal VOC 2007.
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions '150,000 train samples and 150,000 test samples' but does not specify a validation set split or details for other experiments.
Hardware Specification Yes We run our algorithm over the Aliyun ODPS platform with 2000 cores to train the model, which took 2 hours for each epoch.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific software names with version numbers (e.g., library versions, frameworks).
Experiment Setup Yes The optimal transform is obtained by minimizing the distance between images with similar tags and at the same time maximizing the distance between images with different tags... Using vectors xa i , xp i , and xn i , we form a triplet and define the triplet loss as follows... The model was trained using the Adam optimizer.
