Pseudocode No The paper does not contain any structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code Yes 1Codes are available at https://github.com/zhimengj0326/GDP
Open Datasets Yes UCI Adult dataset 5 contains more than 40, 000 individual information from 1994 US Census. 5https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/adult. The Crime dataset 7 includes 128 attributes for 1, 994 samples from communities in the US. 7https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/communities+and-crime. The temporal graph data, provided by data intelligence company Cuebiq (Cuebiq, 2021)..., citing Cuebiq. Data for good: Location intelligence for good is our contribution to the scientific community, 2021. URL https://www.cuebiq.com/about/data-for-good/.
Dataset Splits Yes In each trial, the dataset is randomly split into a training, validation, and test set with 50%, 25%, and 25% partition, respectively.
Hardware Specification No No specific hardware details (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory) used for running experiments were mentioned in the paper.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions several models and frameworks (e.g., selu networks, GCN, GAT, SGC, TGAT) and their respective citations, but does not provide specific version numbers for any software dependencies.
Experiment Setup Yes Model: We adopt two-layer selu networks model (Klambauer et al., 2017) with hidden size 50 and report the mean prediction performance and GDP with 5 running times. Model: We use three graph neural network backbones... We train GNN with 200 epochs with 5 running times... The hyper-parameter λ in Eq. (5) controls the tradeoff between prediction performance and GDP.
