Research Type Experimental In this section, we demonstrate another potential application of FCF, i.e., accelerating convex optimization, by presenting a set of thorough empirical studies. Our promising empirical results give rise to an intriguing future research direction of rigorously understanding how FCF can accelerate convex optimization. We note that this is outside of the scope of the present paper which aims at studying the FCF problem itself and demonstrating its potential usefulness. ... In this section, we present the experiment results for the larger dateset covtype in Table 2.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: Construction of the FCF Convex Function
Open Source Code No No explicit statement about the release of open-source code for the paper's methodology or a link to a code repository was found.
Open Datasets Yes We use two classical datasets: (1) covtype7 from UCI which has N = 581, 012 data points and d = 54 features dimensions; (2) ijcnn18 which has N = 49, 990 data points and d = 22 features dimensions.

Dataset Splits No The paper mentions using 'covtype' and 'ijcnn1' datasets but does not explicitly provide details about training, validation, or test dataset splits (e.g., percentages or sample counts).
Hardware Specification Yes All the algorithms are coded in Python and the experiments were run on a single core of a 2.20GHz Intel Xeon Silver 4210 CPU using 256 GB of RAM.
Software Dependencies No The paper states 'All the algorithms are coded in Python' but does not provide specific version numbers for Python or any other software libraries or dependencies used.
Experiment Setup Yes Our experiment uses the standard l2 norm as regularization. ... Each set of experiments has three regularization regimes, high (λ = 0.1), medium (λ = 0.01), and low (λ = 0.001). ... parameter: resolution ϵ = e 4, integer k Function SMCF():
