Pseudocode Yes Appendix A shows the pseudo-codes of FKKM and FMKKM, respectively.
Open Source Code Yes Our code is available at https://github.com/rongwenli/Neur IPS24-FMKKM.
Open Datasets Yes We conduct experiments on benchmark data sets which are widely used in fair clustering, including D&S [2], HAR [3], Jaffe [29], MNIST-USPS [20], Credit Card [52] and K1b [53].
Dataset Splits No The paper does not specify exact percentages or sample counts for training, validation, and test splits. It mentions that "All experiments are repeated 10 times and the average results are reported," but does not detail the data partitioning.
Hardware Specification Yes All experiments are conducted on the 12th Gen Interl(R) Core(TM) i7-12700 with 32 GB RAM.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions using a "Gaussian kernel" and various machine learning methods, but it does not specify any software libraries (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) or their version numbers.
Experiment Setup Yes For the kernel methods (i.e., our FKKM and KKM), we use a Gaussian kernel with a bandwidth parameter fixing to 0.5 D, where D is the average distance between samples. ... we search λ as λ = 1, 2, . . . , by observing the corresponding MNCE. When the MNCE gets stable, i.e., the change of MNCE is smaller than 0.005, we stop the searching and use the current λ.
