Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 gives the details of Opt Eval-1. Details of Opt Space algo-rithm are in Appendix A. Algorithm 2 gives the details of Opt Eval-2.
Open Source Code Yes The demo and code for this project are released under https://github.com/yalidu/optEval.git.
Open Datasets Yes Gaussian games (Rashid et al., 2021). Bernoulli games (Rowland et al., 2019). Soccer meta-game (Liu et al., 2018). Real world games (Czarnecki et al., 2020)
Dataset Splits No The paper describes the datasets used (Gaussian, Bernoulli, Soccer meta-game, Real world games) but does not provide explicit training, validation, or test split percentages, sample counts, or references to predefined splits for reproducibility.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific details about the hardware used to run the experiments (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory specifications).
Software Dependencies No The paper does not list specific software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., Python 3.x, PyTorch 1.x).
Experiment Setup Yes We evaluate all methods on the finiteregime with = 0.001. Four metrics are considered to evaluate both the correctness of the recovered matrix and the task performance. ... δ is the confidence level on the estimation of payoffs and is set to 0.01. ... To obtain empirical payoffs c Mij, 8(i, j) 2 , agent i and j need to compete against each other for a sufficient number of times. ... we run Opt Eval with a chosen rank r = 5
