Pseudocode Yes The training procedure is shown as Algorithm 1.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any link or explicit statement about the availability of open-source code for the methodology described.
Open Datasets Yes Three benchmark databases are used in our experiments. The Extended Cohn-Kanade database (CK+) (Lucey et al. 2010), The MMI database (Pantic et al. 2005), The UNBC-Mc Master Shoulder Pain Expression Archive database (Pain) (Lucey et al. 2011)
Dataset Splits Yes We conduct within-database experiments via five fold subject-independent cross-validation and cross-database experiments.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not specify the hardware used for experiments (e.g., CPU, GPU models).
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions using 'Tensor Flow framework' and 'Adam algorithm' but does not specify any version numbers for these or other software dependencies.
Experiment Setup Yes We set α = 0.5 in our experiments to balance the distributions of pseudo-tuples generated from C and G. Discriminator D, classifier C, and generator G are parameterized through a four-layer feedforward network. We implement the proposed method using the Tensor Flow framework. Any gradient-based learning rule could be used to update parameters for the optimization method. We use the Adam (Kingma and Ba 2014) algorithm to optimize D, C, and G in our experiments.
