Research Type Experimental We conduct extensive experiments by leveraging our sharpness-aware posterior with the state-of-the-art and well-known BNNs... In this section, we conduct various experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness of the sharpness-aware approach on Bayesian Neural networks... Our experimental results, presented in Tables 1, 2, 3 for CIFAR-100 and CIFAR-10 dataset, and Table 4 for the Image Net dataset, indicate a notable improvement across all experiments.

Pseudocode No The paper does not contain any structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code Yes The implementation is provided in https://github.com/anh-ntv/flat_bnn.git
Open Datasets Yes The experiments are conducted on three benchmark datasets: CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and Image Net ILSVRC-2012, and report accuracy, negative log-likelihood (NLL), and Expected Calibration Error (ECE) to estimate the calibration capability and uncertainty of our method against baselines.
Dataset Splits No The paper states 'The details of the dataset and implementation are described in the supplementary material', but does not provide specific train/validation/test dataset splits (e.g., percentages, sample counts, or explicit references to predefined splits) within the main text.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory) used for running the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific ancillary software details with version numbers (e.g., library or solver names with versions).
Experiment Setup No The paper states 'The details of the dataset and implementation are described in the supplementary material' and mentions 'hyper-parameter settings' in the ablation studies ('under the same hyper-parameter settings'). However, concrete hyperparameter values or detailed training configurations are not provided within the main text of the paper.
