Pseudocode No The paper describes its methods verbally and with architectural diagrams but does not include any structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide concrete access to source code for the methodology described, nor does it explicitly state that the code is released or available in supplementary materials.
Open Datasets Yes We conduct experiments on the Deep Lesion (Yan et al. 2018a) and Kits19 (Heller et al. 2019) datasets.
Dataset Splits Yes We select 30% as validation (4889 lesions) and test (4927 lesions), while the rest is regarded as the training set (22919 images) following the official division (Yan, Bagheri, and Summers 2018; Yan et al. 2018a).
Hardware Specification Yes We conduct all experiments on a single server with 4 GTX1080 cards in Pytorch (Paszke et al. 2017).
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions 'Pytorch (Paszke et al. 2017)' but does not provide specific version numbers for Pytorch or other ancillary software components.
Experiment Setup Yes Network weights ωis updated after training 15 epochs with batch size =16 (same with validation sets). We choose momentum SGD with initial learning rate 0.02 (annealed down to zero following a cosine schedule), momentum 0.9, and weight decay 3 10 4 as an optimizer for weights ω, while architecture weights α are optimized by Adam with initial learning rate 3 10 4 , momentum 0.999 and weight decay 10 3.
