Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Extensive experiments are conducted on two corpora, for diseases and drugs, and the results show that this approach significantly improves over a classical distant-supervision approach.

Pseudocode No No structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks were found. Algorithms are described in prose.
Open Source Code No The paper links to ProPPR, a tool used in their work ("3https://github.com/Team Cohen/Pro PPR"), but does not provide a link or statement for the open-source code of their specific methodology, DIEBOLDS.
Open Datasets Yes Our target drug corpus, called Daily Med, is downloaded from dailymed.nlm.nih.gov which contains 28,590 XML documents... Our target disease corpus, called Wiki Disease, is extracted from a Wikipedia dump of May 2015... The structured drug corpus, called Web MD, is collected from www.webmd.com... The structured disease corpus, called Mayo Clinic, is collected from www.mayoclinic.org.
Dataset Splits Yes These triples are split into development set and validating set in the ratio of 9:1.
Hardware Specification No No specific hardware details (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory amounts, or detailed computer specifications) used for running its experiments were provided.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions various software components and tools such as "GDep parser", "Multi Rank Walk (MRW)", "Pro PPR", and "SVM classifier (Chang and Lin 2001)" (with a link to LIBSVM), but does not provide specific version numbers for these or other software dependencies.
Experiment Setup Yes We adopt an existing multi-class label propagation method, namely, Multi Rank Walk (MRW) (Lin and Cohen 2010)... (In the experiments we use α = 0.1.)
