Open Source Code No The paper does not include any statement about releasing source code for the methodology, nor does it provide a link to a code repository.
Open Datasets Yes We demonstrate our results through experiments in both real (COMPAS) and synthetic datasets. and [1] J. Angwin, J. Larson, S. Mattu, and L. Kirchner. Machine bias: There s software used across the country to predict future criminals. and it s biased against blacks. Pro Publica, 23, 2016.
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions 'validation data' for evaluating predictive accuracy during feature selection ('evaluating the best in-class predictive accuracy for classifiers in { f : ˆ PA ˆY } on the validation data.'), but it does not specify concrete dataset split percentages or counts for training, validation, or test sets.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide any specific details about the hardware (e.g., CPU, GPU models, memory, or cloud resources) used to run the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific software dependencies or version numbers (e.g., programming language versions, library versions, or solver versions) used in the experiments.
Experiment Setup No The paper states that 'Details of the experiments are provided in Appendix C [27]', but this paper itself does not contain specific hyperparameters, training configurations, or system-level settings within its main text.
